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