MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 23, 1987 <br />3960 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH CONTINUED <br />It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by <br />Councilmember Goetten, to adopt Resolution #2143 <br />initiating hazardous building proceedings on the house <br />structure at 3960 Sixth Avenue North. Motion, Ayes 5, <br />Nays 0. <br />COUNTY 116 EXTENSION <br />MEDINA - ORONO <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the City <br />of Medina has petitioned Hennepin County to extend <br />County #116 south of Nwy.. 55, of which alignment would <br />continue down Willow to Hwy. 12. Hennepin County has <br />indicated that they would work for signalization of <br />Willow at Hwy. 12. If Willow were currently a County <br />road two of the four legs for payment of signalization <br />would be the State's, one the County's and the fourth <br />Long Lake's, with Orono bearing a portion of the County <br />and State shares. There is concern that there may be a <br />need for signalization at that i-ntersection prior to <br />County takeover. <br />Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson reviewed the <br />proposal on the map. He noted that if approved Willow <br />Drive would have to be widened to 80' from the existing <br />66'. He also noted that the traffic count may increase <br />to 3,500 vehicles per day. <br />Judy Brown, Stubbs Bay Road, stated the City should <br />consider this carefully due to the already existing <br />hazardous traffic on Hwy. 12 in Long Lake. <br />Counci lmember Sime stated he would 1 i.ke long Lake's <br />input on this Froposal. <br />Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson stated that Long <br />Lake approved the proposal at their last meeting. <br />It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by <br />Councilmember Callahan, to table this matter until <br />formal action is taken by the City of Medina. If such <br />action directs 116 to be established by the County, <br />staff is then directed to establish a public hearing on <br />this matter and notify all property owners abutting <br />Willow, including all residents whose access is onto <br />Willow, within four weeks of receiving notification from <br />the City of Medina. Motion, Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />
