TO Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrato� <br />DATE: November 21, 1985 I <br />SUBJECT: Municipal State Aid Road System Designation/Orono <br />INTRODUCTION - As you recall the City of Orono is annually given <br />money, from the distribution of gas tax money, to communities for <br />maintenance and capital improvement of their streets and roads <br />designated to be MSA. Prior to the 1985 legislature the County <br />could only take "needs" on their system for the center 24 feet of <br />roadway and that any portion beyond that had to come from the <br />City "needs" through which that road passed. The '85 legislature <br />however changed this so the County can take needs on the whole <br />portion of their road. In order for Orono to receive monies in <br />relationship to needs to compensate for the loss of our portion <br />of the County roads the City will have to designate additional <br />mileage as outlined in Glenn Cook's attached memo. <br />STREET DESIGNATION - As noted in the attached map in addition to <br />the currently designated roads that are on the 14SA system the <br />following roads are requested to be designated for MSA purposes. <br />Additionally outlined below are their status in relationship to <br />the communities Comprehensive Management Plan. enclosed is the <br />graphic copy of the transportation plan.) <br />'rREET <br />1. Watertown Road <br />2. Stubbs Bay Road <br />*3. Orono Orchard Road <br />4. Fox Street/portions <br />5. North Brown Road <br />6. North Ferndale Road <br />CMP DESIGNATION <br />Collector <br />Not designated <br />Scenic parkway <br />Scenic parkway <br />Collector <br />Not designated <br />*We have included Orono Orchard Road even though it exceeds the <br />mileage allowed. By leaving that road on the list allows us to <br />add mileage to the system as more roads are constructed. <br />For reference purposes current :streets on the system Old Crystal <br />Bay Road and Willow are on as collector streets and the City <br />portions of Fox are designated scenic parkway. <br />IMPACT ON EXISTING ROADS - By designating these streets on the <br />system does not necessarily require that they be built and <br />upgraded, and if a decision is made to upgrade them portions can <br />be constructed with other variances at a minimum of 32 feet for 2 <br />way traffic without any ditches and posted no parking. In part <br />the reason of the wide swath that was taken for Old Crystal Bay <br />and Willow was the fact that they were done as rural sections and <br />this required attendant ditches which entail a significant amount <br />
