ORONO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY II, 1999 they are expensive and experience mechanical problems. Jabbour stated that a one-way driveway is probably the best solution to limit the amount of traffic and to alleviate the safety concerns raised by having to make two left-hand turns. Jabbour remarked that this issue could perhaps be revisited in one to two years. Sansevere stated that he would like to see some type of guarantee that this road is only being accessed by Club members and not guests of a wedding party, for example, or other major social event that is held at the Club. McCarthy noted that the Club does not host very many weddings and that their proposal will not cause a major influx of people on this road. Mayor Jabbour noted that the original proposal from Woodhill Country Club did propose a one-way system. Flint suggested that a conceptual motion be made outlining the various conditions that the City is proposing to impose and then Woodhill Country Club will have an opportunity to review that motion before the next City Council meeting. Flint moved to conceptually approve Application #2484, Woodhill Country Club, 200 V.'ccdhill Road, and to authorize City Staff to draft a resolution for City Council consideration at their May 24,1999 meeting, subject to the following items that are outlined in Bruce Malkerson's May 4,1999 letter to the City Council: Item G, The Club shall install a gate across the road which shall be locked at all times (this is Club's request numbers 1 and 2 with a clarification), except when used as follows: A. Use of the road by emergency vehicles (police, fire, ambulance and utility). (This is Club's request number 3, page 1. B. Us« of the road for transporting Club tractors to and from Long Lake for repair. (This is Club's request number 5, page 1). C. Use of the road for general access if Woodhill Road access to County Road 15 is temporarily blocked (subject to reasonable notification to the City and the affected neighbors), but only during the period of such temporary blockage. (This is Club's request number 6, page 1). D.Use of the road under the terms of that certain Easement Agreement, dated October 5,1987, between the City, the Ciub, and MSM, which benefits one residential lot if County Road 15 access is blocked. (This is Club's request number 7, page 1). E. Usage of this access road is to be limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m., to 8:00 p.m. The above approved uses would be called "Basic Rights," a term used by the Club. The City would reserve the right to review the permit periodically to determine what problems there were in the prior years and the City would maintain a right to modify the permit or add conditions, as allowed by Section 10.09, Subdivision 6,B.
