ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER 23.1998 (#2439 Service 800, Inc., continued) Mayor Jabbour stated the City Council should consider what they would like to see for future development along Highway 12. Flint commented that sidewalks have been installed along portions of Highway 12. A resident commented that the sidewalks are six feet wide and extend down to the retaining pond where the sidewalk decreases to four feet wide. Moorse remarked that the City Council may want to address the building material being proposed as it will give the building a definite character and whether this is the type of building material they would like to see utilized on any future developments along Highway 12. Kiemen commented that this type of material has been chosen because it is less expensive than brick but still has a nice appearance to it. Goetten stated she finds the building material to be attractive. Kelley inquired how the stormwater drainage will be handled. Gaffron stated the existing stormwater system should handle any runoff from this property. Flint moved, Peterson seconded, to approve Application #2439, 2190 Wayzata Boulevard, and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4206, a Resolution Granting Variances and Approving a Conditional Use Permit for an Office Use in the B*1 Zoning District and Approving the Issuance of a Building Permit to Service 800, Inc., subject to final review and approval by City Staff of the conditions outlined in the November 20,1998 Planner's Report, and further subject to the construction of an eight foot sidewalk in the boulevard.

Line B and Line C, which address the specific issues that are of concern. Anderson indicated he was in agreement with both Line A and Line B.
