Summary of Highway 12 Meeting <br />Kelley Parkway and Old Crystal Bay Road <br />Friday, October 3,2003 <br />1:00 p.m. <br />The meeting was held on Kelley Parieway just east of Old Crystal Bay Road. Those <br />attending were Lucas Smith, Mn/DOT; Todd Planting, Ames; A1 Madson, Ames; a <br />representative from McCrossen; Greg Gappa, City of Orono; Stephany Good, Police <br />Chief, Orono; Correy Farniok, Sergeant, Orono; Ron Moorse, City Administrator, Orono. <br />Moorse began the discussion by asking why all the truck trafTic was using Old Crystal <br />Bay Road when Ames had said they wouldn’t consider using Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />A1 Madsen indicated Ames never said they wouldn't use Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />Moorse indicated Chuck from Ames said he wouldn’t think of using Old Crystal Bay <br />Road because he didn’t want the trucks mixing with school traffic. <br />Todd Planting indicated that what happened was that Jim Murphy was right, the entrance <br />to Landform is closed from Willow so they have to use Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />Moorse indicated that Chuck from Ames said Ames would spend $10,000 to get the <br />Willow Drive entrance open, and that there was too much liability to use Old Crystal Bay <br />Road. <br />A1 Madson said that Chuck must have meant using Old Crystal Bay Road all the way past <br />the school to the north. <br />Moorse said there wouldn’t be any reason for any trucks to haul past the school. <br />Todd Planting responded that Chuck was probably not familiar with the area when he <br />said that. <br />Moorse indicated that Chuck sat right across the table on Tuesday, September 26'*' and <br />said Chuck and Todd have both been in town for 3 years and they are very familiar with <br />the area. <br />Planting said he never said that. <br />Moorse indicated he was tired of having plans changed without any notice. He was tired <br />of Ames saying one thing one day and doing another thing the next day. He said we need <br />to get a plan that is good for more than a day at a time. <br />Todd Planting responded that in the dirt business you have to be ready to change plans at <br />any time to take advantage of opportunities-that’s the nature of dirt work. <br />A1 Madson indicated they are only hauling 50,000 cubic yards to Landform and should <br />be done in 3*4 weeks. <br />Page 1 of2
