/7 fr!Ai 123 TO: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrator 4*0 A FROM: John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Director DATE: May 18, 1988 SUBJ: Crystal Bay Road Letter - May 16, 1988 On May 16, 1988, the City of Orono received a letter from Mr. Tim Schupp, 3215 Crystal Bay Road. Mr. Schupp's property is one of the properties severely affected by the July 190 super storm. Fol?(-wing the storm, I met with the affected residents to dis(uss the restoration as the damage also included the driven portion of Crystal Bay Road. It should be noted that Crystal Bay Road is not a platted street, the City claims ownership due to use and maintenance. We have also been advised that only that part that is maintained by the City belongs to the City. During discussions and correspondence, it was the res:,'ents desire to either close #-he road to throuh traffic or possibly relocate the road. The imh:ct of the alter.�ativr=s were reviewed and it was determined that tie road would have to stay in its present location and be kept open. Once that was determined, it was suggested that the City and residents enter into an agreement for mane contractor to perform restoration, each property owner and the City would pay their fair share of the costs. Apparently, the property owners have decides. iot to do this az there was no response to the suggestion. I did talk to two of the residents after the offer was made and it was their decision to proceed on their own. In regards to Mr. Schupp's 1 r, it is my opin :hat we did try to cooperate as much as ossible, but unf. ately all options 1Ffi tn one --tumhling Mock or another. It is my intent to hegin the necessary steps to repair Crystal Ray Road . TO: Mayor an„ City Council b PROM: Mark Bornhardson, City F :ministratot�� ` Atta, -its: A.
