I 'i Request for Site vic3»t July 13, 1990 Page 2 of 3D) Possible joint facility. Raised as a possibility byWayzata at the May 1990 meeting, the followinc; comments by the citizens committee at their June meeting, that may be relevant: - Location prcv^ldes difficult access to Orono* Such a site would require Orono vehicles to go either through Wayzata or Long Lake to reach destinations in Orono. - Community of interest. Historically sharing of services have been related more closely to cities of Spring Park, Minnetonka Beach and Long Lake and such a facility would make that more difficult with those cities. - Organizational savings. The savings the City may gain by a joint sharing of facilities with Wayzata may well be offset by not being able to share those facilities with rne balance of the City of Orono organization. Additionally, there may be ways to handle sharing of equipment and contract back and forth to gain many of the advantages that a joint facility may have. (An alternative would be to have Wayzata have a facility located further in Orono with a small sub facility in Wayzata. J E) Highway 12 future corridor. As was pre* noted at the Council, Mr. William Crawford of nnesota Department of Transportation stated that thert iOt a pre conceived corridor and that they have given no assurances that the p"o| ^rty sold tc wayzata would not be withiu -^he future coT ’^idcr. riowe* r if Wayzata were allowed to construct the facility, this may effectively forestall a southerly option or at least inclusion of this property in the corridor because of the potential expense to replace the public workt facility, particularly if they cannot locate a replacement in iffayzata. ^wfille Orono may w< ' - ij consider a moritorium in either the cc rridor study arei .. an eventual recommended corridor, it - o i only control the land in Orono ai.d Wayzata could sti i ^ . erhaps unwisely, build on the portion of this property w thin their own jurisdiction.)
