ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR AUGUST 10,1998 <br />i*U9) APPROVE FINAL REQUEST FOR PAYMENT OF GOLF COURSE IRRIGATION <br />SYSTEM <br />Goetten moved, Kelley seconded, to approve the Request for Final Payment for the golf course <br />irrigation system to Evergreen Sprinkler Company for SI,825.18. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0. <br />City Engineer Kellogg distributed preliminary plans for the Femdale Road upgrade project. <br />Flint asked if the road had been staked. Kellogg responded that the road had not been staked but <br />explained that the trail would be 1' in from the existing power poles on the Plymouth side, and the <br />edge of the new road on the Orono side would coincide with the existing road on the Orono side. <br />Kellogg confirmed the new road is basically within the existing pavement. <br />Kellogg commented that there would be a widening at the County Road 6 intersection with right and <br />left hand turn lanes for northbound traffic and one southbound lane. The intersection will be built <br />up higher to improve sight lines. <br />Kelley asked if there would be any improvements on County Road 6 for a turn lane for eastbound <br />traffic turning south on Femdale Road. Kellogg responded that there were no improvements planned <br />for County Road 6. <br />Kelley requested that the trees be marked that will be removed. Kellogg responded that the trees <br />could either be physically marked or they could be marked on a set of plans. <br />Kelley asked who marks the tree so that contractors don't remove the wrong trees. Kellogg replied <br />that silt fence is typically installed to control drainage which also reminds the contractors not to go <br />beyond the silt fence. The engineers would also be on-site to work with the contractors. <br />Flint questioned if the preliminary plans could be shared with other interested residents. Kellogg <br />confirmed that they were fairly accurate, with some construction notes missing, and could be shared. <br />Mayor Jabbour asked if the Engineer has had any further conversations with NSP regarding <br />undergrounding the power lines. Kellogg responded that he had left a message. <br />Flint asked about the timing for the project. Kellogg responded that the plans were submitted for <br />review to both cities and hoped to receive comments within two weeks. The plans would then be <br />submitted to the State. Approval from the State takes approximately 1 month. It appears that the <br />project will begin in the spring of 1999 and will be completed in the 1999 construction season. <br />Kellogg also ga\ e an update on the Heritage Drive sewer project. The sewer along County Road 15 <br />is in place and the directional boring has begun on Heritage Lane. Open cutting will begin this <br />week. The project should be completed this fall so residents could hook up to sewer before winter.
