ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD NOVEMBER 13, 1990WOODHILL SEWER CONNECTION CONTINUED of this. Mr. Curt Quady asked if there was any truth to a rumor that the Woodhill Country Club pulled out of Orono because they could not obtain a liquor license. Bernhardson replied, "This portion of the Club House has been locatad in V7ayzata since the early 19.20's. The Clue House may have become a part of VJayzata back in the days prior to Ovono becoming a Village, when it could not issue liquor licenses." Mr. Quady said, "They left Orono because they could get a liquor license. Now they are asking to hook up to Orono sewer. It seems to me that a situation similar to v/hat is happening with the City of Long Lake may occur." Acting Mayor Callahan said, "I believe that if the City of Orono has an opportunity to do something positive for a neighboring City, we should do what we can to maintain a good relationship. As the City Administrator stated earlier, the City of Orono is currently making use of various utilities from neighboring cities for the benefit of our citizens. The situation v/ith Long La^* . became a problem because they came to own the land. That is not an issue in this case." Goetten asked if the "t\ussell Avenue'VFox station has the capacity to handle this addition. Srreet lift Cook replied, "Staff would hove to look at that. If there is any kind of approval, it would have to include a requirement that the Country Club would be responsible for any upgrades that are necessary. The lift station has a finite capacity and we need to determine what that is." Bernhardson asked Council wiiat other issues they would like Staff to address. Acting Mayor Callahan stated that he wcuits Staff to verify tha^ the Vfloodhill Country Club is in fact within the M.U.S.A. line. He said, "I would not consider amending the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate this request." Goetten stated that she would like Staff to review the issue of precedent and how similar situations have been handled with neighboring cities in the past. It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by Peterson, to table this matter until NovemV>er 26, 1990, to allow Staff the opportunity to address the concerns raised by Council this evening.
