MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 22, 2021 6:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 9 of 10 15. LA20-000048 – TIMOTHY WHITTEN O/B/O I. JACOBS/ A. JACOBS REVOCABLE TRUST, 1700 SHORELINE DRIVE, PRELIMINARY PLAT – RESOLUTION – Continued Johnson said it will be interesting because it is a ditch so he is curious how it will go with a power pole. It goes without saying that the County is saying the turn lane needs to be there and it will not encroach on the Burwell property. Attorney Mattick stated, in his opinion, there is nothing the Council can do to force Ms. Burwell to allow them to work on her property or put any improvements on that property. To him, that is just such an elementary and basic proposition. Walsh noted they would not make that recommendation or caveat to begin with at all. Johnson said they also have that visibility prior to the final plat approval. Walsh replied yes, there are plenty of things that need to get done before final plat approval. Johnson said including any potential damage to the trees on the Burwell property. Walsh noted that is all considered, absolutely. Johnson said the finding of the facts noted four outlots, and three were the lakeward lots and the fourth was for the driveway. Barnhart replied, for the road, yes. The most recent preliminary plat shows three outlots along Shoreline Drive and the one for the road. Crosby asked if all of those outlots are on the lake side. Barnhart replied three of them are on the lake side, and one is for the road. Printup moved, Crosby seconded, to approve LA20-000048 – Timothy Whitten o/b/o Jacobs Revocable Trust, 1700 Shoreline Drive, Preliminary Plat as drafted. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Crosby is wearing a green and gold tie and it is for NDSU as his daughter is graduating in May. Johnson noted he sold his house in Orono and found another one in Orono, which was a tough search. The market is tight and very competitive out there. His son is down in Texas and is not escaping the snow. Johnson would really like to see Three Rivers plow; he likes the ideas of more trails but said they should get really good at what they are doing and the ones they have. It is the same thing with the parks. Printup echoes what Johnson said; it took a bit to get Three Rivers to understand that Orono was not interested in that north route but he thinks they did it. He wants to ask their friends to the east in Wayzata, there is a bridge there by the Dakota Trail where it starts and there is more graffiti. He would like to get it cleaned up as it is inviting more and they do not want it oozing this way.
