, _: _ <br /> _ <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS <br /> FROM: ORONO MANAGEMENTTEAM <br /> SUBJECT: INFORMATION UPDATE <br /> DATE: AUGUST 30, 2013 <br /> Information Update—08/30/13 <br /> • The City of Minnetrista considered a concept plan for Red Oak Golf Course on August 19tn <br /> A copy of their staff report and agenda item is attached. <br /> • Mayor McMillan has provided a summary (attached) of the LMCC subcommittee working to <br /> explore revising the JPA. <br /> • B&Z staff has been talking to a representative of the Orono Shopping Center at 2160 <br /> Wayzata blvd. They were inquiring about what kind of uses would be allowed. Some of their <br /> thoughts were a bingo hall, tobacco shop or a tattoo parlor and gym/health club in the <br /> basement. Staff is working on a response. They also indicated they are open to someone <br /> opening the gas station again since it closed a couple of months ago. They are hoping for <br /> someone with a food operation to go with the fuel sales. The property is for sale, including <br /> the house and the garage building. <br /> • Please see the weekly update for reconstruction Willow Drive (attached). Perhaps <br /> noteworthy: <br /> The hot weather has also caused a delay in the final paving activities for Willow Drive. Due <br /> to the start of school next week, the decision has been made to delay paving until Saturday, <br /> September 7th, (weather permitting) so that the construction activities do not conflict with <br /> school traffic including bus pick up and drop off. In addition, the detour will be taken down <br /> by Tuesday morning to help reduce traffic congestion on Old Crystal Bay Road during the <br /> school week. <br /> • Thomas Longe and volunteers have continued to work hard all week on his Eagle Scout <br /> project. They have removed one of the trees, installed concrete footings, installed plantings <br /> and woodchips, and began altering the sprinkler system to allow for full coverage of the <br /> area. The group has done a lot of work in less than ideal conditions and the area is looking <br /> pretty nice. <br /> He anticipates completing the project toward the end of September or early October once <br /> the granite is delivered. <br /> • Reminder, if anyone has anything they would like to see in the newsletter, please submit <br /> your preliminary articles to Rachel by Friday, September 6tn <br />
