ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR AUGUST 10,1998 <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />(*#10) REAPPOINTMENT TO LAKE <br />COMMISSION <br />MINNETONKA COMMUNICATION <br />Goetten moved, Kelley seconded, to extend the appointment of Fred Blanche as an alternate <br />City representative on the Lake Minnetonka Communication Commission through January <br />11,1999. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0. <br />(#11) DESIGNATION OF MCWD LIAISONS <br />Moorse explained that the MCWD would designate one of their board members to serve as a liaison <br />to the City. He will verify who that liaison will be. Greg Gappa and Mike GafFron will be staff <br />liaison. Council will make a final decision as to who the Council liaison will be at their next Council <br />meeting. Flint indicated an interest as a liaison. <br />(#12) REPORT REGARDING IMPACTS OF RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION FOR <br />NEW HIGHWAY 12 ON INDIVIDUAL LOTS <br />Moorse explained that Mn/DOT is working on right-of-way acquisitions for the new Highway 12 <br />corridor. Gaffron has prepared an analysis of how the parcels in this corridor could be affected by <br />right-of-way acquisition. Once the right-of-way has been taken, some lots may not be considered <br />buildable under current zoning standards. Council will need to consider what criteria should be used <br />to determine if a lot would be buildable, or if it would be considered legally non-conforming. <br />Available septic sites will be a key issue in the determination of whether a parcel can remain as a <br />separate lot. <br />Gaffron distributed an updated report. <br />Kelley questioned the possibility of sewering some of the properties in the corridor. A sewer line <br />could be constructed along the side of Highway 12 and connect to the existing interceptor. Kelley <br />stated that the residents were entitled to a house even if the area remaining after acquisition was less <br />than 2 acres. <br />Jabbour indicated that Mn/DOT needs to decide if they want to do a "whole" or "partial" taking in <br />the right-of-way acquisition, and they have asked for input from the City. <br />Kelley suggested that Mn/DOT be informed that the lots are in a 2 acre zone. If the right-of-way <br />acquisition leaves a lot with less than 2 acres, Mn/DOT should take the entire lot.
