Orono Montessori Request for CMP Guide Plan Change to Institutional <br /> • Gaffron reviewed the letter received from Kuruvilla which requested re-guiding his property at <br /> 850 Wayzata Boulevard to institutional use. <br /> • Myrtlewood sewer project doesn't include bringing pipes to his property. Per Kellogg, could <br /> bring water to his side of the road with the Myrtlewood project. A pressure sewer system will <br /> be needed to serve Kuruvilla and the Comforts of Home properties. Before sewer can be <br /> provided to the Montessori property, Met Council approval is required. The cost to provide <br /> water to Kuruvilla needs to be determined. How the costs are divided between Kuruvilla and <br /> Comforts of Home has not been determined. Council would like to have water available to <br /> Kuruvilla as soon as possible. Comforts of Home has purchased the Wayzata Boulevard property <br /> and plans to move forward with their project. Staff should explain the options to Kuruvilla for <br /> moving forward and that there may be some cost savings by waiting until the Comforts of Home <br /> project proceeds. Staff will explore with Kellogg the steps that need to be taken to design the <br /> water portion of the Myrtlewood project to include Kuruvilla's property for completion this <br /> summer. <br /> • Council is in favor of reguiding the property at 850 Wayzata Boulevard to institutional use. <br /> 3. Response to Karen Feyo Invoice for Zoning Fees <br /> • Additional background information was provided to Council. Staff has not received a written <br /> response/request from Feyo as requested by Council at the March 92h meeting. <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br />
