it up during the vacation request, and staff, while reviewing the formal <br />platting proposal, noted the discrepancy between the existing cul de sac and <br />the city code, and provided the comment, which the Planning Commission <br />agreed with. Our thinking is that the easement adjacent to the cul de sac <br />is more beneficial to the city, and rather than pursue an easement with <br />little benefit, pursue one with beneficial use without excessively impacting <br />you, the applicant. <br />Lastly, I could not find record of the cul de sac agreement/ provision in <br />1991, but I did find a boundary line adjustment in 1999 that shows the cul <br />de sac in the current configuration. I do not know what the cul de sac <br />standard was in 1999. <br />Jeremy Barnhart, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />City of Orono <br />952-249-4626 <br /> <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Bob Erickson [mailto:boberickson@mediacombb.net] <br />Sent: Wednesday, October 6, 2021 12:22 PM <br />To: Jeremy Barnhart <jbarnhart@ci.orono.mn.us> <br />Cc: Denny Walsh <dwalsh2@ci.orono.mn.us>; Adam Edwards <br /><aedwards@ci.orono.mn.us>; Mark Gronberg <markg@gronbergassoc.com> <br />Subject: RE: Gennesaret documents <br />Jeremy, <br />Regarding a suggested easement at 372 Westlake Street, we have decided not <br />to sign such a document. The dimensions shown in my current applications for <br />preliminary and final plats are exactly the same as those approved in the <br />sketch plan discussion over a year ago, and exactly the same as those <br />approved by the City Council a couple of months ago in the vote to vacate <br />part of the street. <br />Further, the existing easement at 372 Westlake was the result of a thorough <br />process with the City in 1991, and approved by the City Council at that <br />time. <br />Regarding a possible donation of right of way at 341 Westlake, there is no <br />reason to make that possibility a part of the Gennesaret plat discussion <br />and/or resolution; as I messaged you on August 20, which is copied below. So <br />far I have heard more negative feedback on the 341 idea than positive. I <br />have no problem forgetting about it, but in the event there is interest, it <br />should be a totally separate agenda item which could be discussed at a later <br />date. <br />Thank you. <br />Bob <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Bob Erickson <boberickson@mediacombb.net> <br />Sent: Monday, August 23, 2021 12:08 PM <br />To: 'Jeremy Barnhart' <jbarnhart@ci.orono.mn.us>
