ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR DECEMBER 14,1998 (UIO) §2425, SIDMEY AND BARBARA REBERS/SERVICE 800, INC,, 2190 WAYZATA BOULEVARD - continued Jabbour responded that Orono would have had to pay to bury the rest of the poles. He said the land in that area sells for $5.00 per square foot anc that is similar to Minneapolis. He feels additional costs will add too much to the value of the lane. Kelley stated he does not make decisions based on economics, bui on what is best for the City. He tries to visualize what the city should be 30 years from now and how he wants it to look. He would like a contingency that would require the landowner to pay for burying the poles in the future. It could be assessed, like the cost of a sidew alk. Jabbour feels it would be hard to justify assessing the costs because it is not a necessary service. He asked if staff should look into the cost of burying the utilities. Goetten commented that the Council should not burden staff if they are not going to require the utilities to be buried. She thinks it would be very attractive, but she is concerned about the cost. Jabbour asked staff to contact NSP regarding the cost of burying the utilities. Kelley questioned the limit on the height of the light poles. Goetten stated it was 20 feet. Flint stated he wants to see the whole lardscape plan from Brown to Willow. No action taken.
