To: Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator F4z 22ly�� <br />From: John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Director CITY OF QRO." <br />Date: February 17, 1988 <br />Subject: Crystal Bay Road - Storm Damage Restoration Update <br />During the July 1987 super storm, extensive damage was caused to the <br />shoreline, embankment and paved surface on Crystal Bay Road. <br />During an inspection of the damage with the City Engineer, it was <br />determined that there were two options available for restoration. The <br />first option was to move the road twenty feet to the south, thereby <br />allowing a much more gradual slope. It should be noted that the embankment <br />currently has a 1:1 slope and moving the road would allow a 2:1 slope. <br />The second option was to construct a cribbing wall and leave the road <br />in its present location and the embankment at a 1:1 slope. <br />When discussing the options with the affected property owners, they <br />did not agree with moving the road as it would be necessary to remove <br />several trees and move the road twenty feet closer to their homes. <br />At that time, the property owners questioned the possiblity of closing <br />the road as a through road creating a dead end. <br />I suggested to them that to accomplish closing the road would mean <br />that one or more properties would have to donate land for a cul-de-sac and <br />we would have to involve Minnetonka Beach as the Crystal Bay Road continues <br />into Minnetonka Beach. <br />I have just recently received notice form Minnetonka Beach that they <br />are not interested in closing the road. <br />It is also my understanding that there are no Orono residents in the <br />affected area of Crystal Bay Road that are willing to donate land for a <br />cul-de-sac, therefore, the option of closing the road is no longer <br />available. <br />It is also my opinion that moving the road twenty feet to the south <br />would have an adverse affect on the residents and is no longer an option. <br />It would appear that the only option available is to restore the shoreline, <br />embankment and the road to its original condition. <br />Attached please find the most recent correspondence to the residents <br />suggesting that we proceed with Option #1 and the guidelines to do so. At <br />this writing, I have not received any comments to my last letter. <br />TO: Mayor and City Council N' I <br />FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrator,('I <br />Acceptance by Council of updated information. <br />PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by _, seconded by _, to accept the information <br />provided by staff regarding the storm damage restoration of Crystal Bay <br />Road.
