ORONO MONTESSORI, MICHAEL KURUVILLA, 850 WAYZATA BOULEVARD <br />WEST <br />Michael Kuruvilla, Orono Montessori School, addressed the City Council regarding the issues that are <br />facing the school surrounding sewer and water availability and access to the property. Kuruvilla stated <br />he has appeared before the City Council at periodic times over the past eight years and noted that the <br />school has grown to accommodate over 80 students and employs a number of teachers. Kuruvilla <br />stated this situation could affect over 100 families in the Orono community and that thousands of <br />hours of effort on his part have been put into the school. Kuruvilla requested the City Council not <br />close the school down. <br />Kuruvilla indicated in the past he was consulted on matters that could potentially affect the school but <br />that in the past year Staff has not come to him on those types of issues. Kuruvilla stated one of the <br />main issues that arose was the fact that people leaving his property were not allowed to take a left turn <br />even though he has been requesting a left turn lane for the past two years. Kuruvilla noted a left turn <br />lane was delineated by Mn/DOT once the construction on the new highway commenced and that <br />everything is working fine and there have been no accidents. • <br />PAGE 2 of 9 <br />
