MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,February 22,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 10. BIG ISLAND DECLARATION AND CHANGE ORDER APPROVAL—Continued <br /> they are taking another batch of state money,this time through the Office of Management and Budget <br /> through the Department of Economic Development's deed to Orono. The property,in order to get that <br /> bond finalized,requires similar restrictions. Basically the state says they are giving Orono this money <br /> and they want to make sure they do not take the money,improve the property, and sell the property for a <br /> purpose other than what the money was given for. It is basically saying Orono will keep the property <br /> long-term and it will remain a public park for the benefit of the public. <br /> Attorney Mattick said that is it,they are taking money and in return Orono does not get to sell it until it is <br /> run past the state. He noted there are a lot of restrictions on that property even before this one. <br /> Johnson moved,Crosby seconded,to approve Big Island Declaration attached in Exhibit A; the <br /> Change Order No.4 for the extended ADA Trail in Exhibit B; and the associated engineering <br /> proposal from BMI in Exhibit C. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> 15. LA20-000048—TIMOTHY WHITTEN OB/O I.JACOBS/A.JACOBS REVOCABLE <br /> TRUST, 1700 SHORELINE DRIVE,PRELIMINARY PLAT—RESOLUTION <br /> Barnhart stated at the last Council meeting,he was directed to draft a resolution of approval for the plat of <br /> Shoreline Estates;he has done so. The City Council added three conditions in addition to those Barnhart <br /> originally proposed. Those were incorporated into the conditions of the document and he summarized <br /> those in his background memo. Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary plat as part of that <br /> resolution. Since the meeting they have received some additional commentary from the neighboring <br /> property owner,and that has been provided to the Council. <br /> Walsh said at the last Council meeting they approved the recommendation with the changes and they <br /> really wanted some feedback from Hennepin County about the left-hand turn lane going to the east,which <br /> they did receive. It confirmed that the City's understanding is that the County would not recommend it <br /> based on a number of factors and that was what the City was waiting on. He said they are not looking for <br /> any additional comments at this point,as this is a preliminary plat. <br /> Crosby said it was the turn lane and what else. <br /> Walsh said it was just the turn lane they were looking for feedback on. <br /> Johnson said with that turn lane,does it go without saying that it has to occur without an encroachment. <br /> Attorney Mattick replied yes,there is no right for the Applicant to do anything on the Burwell property. <br /> Walsh stated any private property. <br /> Attorney Mattick said that is right. <br /> Page 8 of 10 <br />
