Orono homes that will ever access the northern leg of the intersection. The traffic on the <br />northern leg of this intersection is virtually all from the City of Medina with substantial traffic <br />being generated by the approximately 90 homes in the urban density Medina Momingside <br />development plus the new church, on Willow Drive, that is currently under construction. <br />Our City staff recommendation is not favorable to the construction of 21 additional homes that <br />will increase traffic at the Willow Drive/County Road 6 intersection without a traffic signal at <br />this intersection. Our recommendation is also that the City of Medina be responsible for the local <br />share of costs, on the northern leg of this intersection, for the installation of a possible traffic <br />signal. <br />Conclusion <br />Until the traffic safety concerns at the Willow Drive/Count>' Road 6 intersection are resolved and <br />the potential impacts of a higher density urban development directly adjacent to the 2-acre <br />density development in Orono are reviewed and discussed by the Orono City Council, Orono <br />City staff is not in favor of recommending modification of the Long Lake/Orono/Medina sanitary <br />sewer agreement to include the proposed Keller Estates Development project. <br />Please advise as to the City of Medina’s perspective regarding responsibility for funding the <br />north leg of a semaphore and necessary intersection improvements related to the semaphore. <br />Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
