MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 14, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />14. LYDIARD BEACH FENCE (continued) <br />Two sections of fence will be constructed. One fence will run along the exposed portion of the channel <br />approximately five feet to the west of the property line and the other will run the width of the lot at the <br />south end of the street between the parking lot and beach. <br />Walsh asked if the survey revealed anything new that the City did not know. <br />Edwards stated there was a question about who owns the land where the wood wall transitions into the <br />metal wall, which is not within the 5 -foot piece of property owned by the private resident. Edwards stated <br />that land was determined to belong to the homeowners association. <br />Cornick asked if there will be any signs on the fence. <br />Edwards stated there are no plans for any signs to be placed on the fence and that there is a park rules sign <br />already on the property. The Parks Commission is also looking at standardizing some informational signs <br />for the parks. Edwards stated the City could, if needed, place no fishing or no dogs signs up. <br />Walsh asked if the Parks Commission is doing any different as a result of the neighbors' comments. <br />Edwards stated the fence has been moved five feet further in to allow for easier maintenance but that <br />probably does not address the concerns of the neighbors. Edwards stated he is not sure there is a practical <br />way to create a physical barrier to prevent people from accessing the wall. <br />Levang moved, Printup seconded, to approve the plan to install a split rail fence at Lydiard Beach. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />*15. WH.LOW DRIVE NORTH RECONSTRUCTION — PAY REQUEST NO.6 — FINAL <br />Levang moved, Cornick seconded, to approve Pay Request No. 6 and final for the contractor <br />C.S. McCrossan, in the amount of $19,913.77 for the Willow Drive reconstruction project. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />16. LIFT STATION #2 BACKUP GENERATOR <br />Edwards stated Lift Station No. 2 is a critical lift station and collects sewage from the area from the <br />Crystal Bay area, Weber Hills area, and Heritage Lane. The lift station then conveys that sewage into the <br />Metropolitan Council sewer main. Under the current load, the lift station can experience a backup within <br />20 minutes of a loss of power. <br />This summer the City was approached by the owners of 1955 Shoreline Drive offering to provide <br />space/casement for the placement of a backup generator for the lift station. In addition, the City received <br />a letter and petition in July from area residents requesting a backup generator for the lifl station. A rough <br />estimate for the project is $110,000. The engineering and design cost from Bolton & Menk is not to <br />exceed $21,250. <br />Page 33 of 39 <br />
