MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, June 24,2002 <br />7:00 oVIock p.m. <br />(#02-2788 BRAD AND CAROL PASS - Continued) <br />GafB-on asked if the Park Commission had looked at this as a potential trail. <br />Gappa indicated that the Park Commission recommends taking the easement dedication on roads <br />where a future trail is planned. County Road 19 is a planned Hennepin County trail route and is <br />a crucial link in trail network around Orono. <br />Mr. Alcon questioned whether it made sense to run a trail thru the wetland in the first place. <br />m <br />Mrs. Pass felt that if a trail were to be constructed it would make more sense on the opposite side <br />of the street versus running thru the wetland. <br />Gappa argued that this corridor could provide a valuable link for a bike path if it is meant to be. <br />No matter which side of the road the trail is located on there will be difficult areas. <br />GafTron pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan indicates a R.O.W. requirement of a total of <br />100' for a major collector road, like McCullcy Road. He believed that 33* was probably not <br />enough, while 40 ’, or better yet 50 ’ would be consistent to what’s been done up north. GafTron <br />felt that 60 ’ was excessive and would recommend 50 ’. <br />White tasked what impact this might have on the placement of the potential home site. <br />GafTron noted that the home would likely be on the other side of the wetland. <br />White suggested reducing the storm water fee for the R.O.W portion since they are donating a <br />larger portion of their land for the R.O.W. <br />Mr. Alcon asked for the attorney’s comment regarding the letter of intent. <br />Barrett indicated he would meet with the Pass attorney to work out details and suggested Council <br />make a motion subject to City Attorney approval. <br />White moved, Murphy seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4826 approving the preliminary <br />plat for the property located at 250 North Shore Drive West and a variance to permit <br />wetland alteration subject to staff conditions and City Attorney approval. Vote: Ayes 4, <br />Nays 0. <br />*6. #02-2792 PAUL T. AND KAY K. STUDEBAKER, 250 RUANN ROAD, VARIANCE, <br />RESOLUTION NO. 4827 <br />Murphy moved, Sansevere seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4827 approving a lot area <br />variance to construct a new- residence on the lot located at 250 Ruann Road.
