CITY OF ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - PUBLIC HEARING HIGHWAY 12 CORRIDOR STUDY/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 4. Area E - Vineyard of the Lake Church is in the area, and the other property has just been approved for a day care center. One requirement for the center, which has been addressed, is the building must be sprinkled and in order for this to be done .a 500 GPM pump would have to be placed in the ground, which is very costly. It would be cheaper for them to extend utilities from Long Lake than to put in the pump. City Administrator Bernhardson noted the other sewer line, Maple Plain/Long Lake Interceptor which was put in during 1985, is a force main which runs through the corridor. Initially, the City of Orono was in opposition to the placement of that pipe because it was felt there may be capacity in the line for additional units for Orono, however, once the line was in place, actual hydraulics provided little if any extra capacity. There is a possiblity that the City could put in up to 50 units in that line past Old Crystal Bay Road, but probably not over that number. It is into this line that the Fulmer property will be tapping. PUBLIC COMMENTS Mrs. Cici, owner of 875 Wayzata Boulevard, noted that the property propoued for the day care center in Area E would like to have the Long Lake utilities extended to the property because of the following reasons: 1.

The well water would have to be tested periodically for contamination, and municipal water wou.d propose no health hazards. 3. If at a later date the City of Orono would propose sewer and water in this area, the septic system and well could no longer be u•ced anyway. Howard Eisinger, owner of a parcel of property in Area C, asked his ability to connect to the trunk line for his property. The lard has been tested for on -site sewage systems and it did not pass the perculation testing. City Administrator Bernhardson noted that sewer currently it not being proposed for that area. He asked for a letter of the pert results for that property. Chairman Kelley moved onto Parcel 1, noting that a loop road is being proposed with on -septic systems. His comment was that he did not feel the property should be reviewed for a loop road at this time, and it should be left at 2 acre residential. No other comments were made for this are,..
