MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, October 10, 2011 7:00 o'clock p.m. (7. #11 -3526 3515 CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC,1545 MAPLE PLACE, Continued) MCWD does not have any requirements for storm water management facilities that conflict with the currently proposed site and grading plan. McMillan noted there was a fair amount of public comment at the Planning Commission and asked whether there is anyone in the audience that would like to speak on this application. There were no public comments regarding this application. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT 8. ORONO ORCHARD ROAD FEASIBILITY REPORT Amundsen noted in 2006 the City completed a pavement management report and at that time Orono Orchard Road was identified as a road that would require reconstruction. In 2009 a CIP was completed for all the city roads and infrastructure. In the CIP Orono Orchard Road was slated for reconstruction in 2012. In December of 2010 the City bonded for a street project, and in August of 2011, the City and the Metropolitan Council finalized the agreement on this road. Amundsen indicated there is an existing 18 -inch force main on the west side of the road. This plan will locate the same type of pipe on the east side of the road. The road reconstruction will start at County Road 15 and will go slightly across the border into Long Lake at the north end. The City is not looking at any major improvements to the storm sewer and will be replacing what is existing. Amundsen illustrated the existing Metropolitan Council lift station on the road, which connects into another force main on the south side of County Road 15. Both the City project and the Metropolitan Council project will have force main work on the north and south ends. McMillan noted that the force main takes all the sewage from Long lake, Maple Plain and the southern side of Medina, which is why the force main is so big. Amundsen pointed out that there will be a twin manhole on the other side of the road and that they will attempt to keep those out of the wheel path of the vehicles. Amundsen stated currently this is an estimate of the street based on the City's maps. Amundsen commented he is aware of people's desires to keep this a rural area but that there are some drainage issues that will need to be addressed. In order to address that, there will be some small bituminous curbs placed on the road. Amundsen noted the heavier dashed lines depict the anticipated location of those curbs. The width of the roadway will not be widened. • Amundsen stated coordination with other government entities will be required on the force main project between the Hennepin County Transportation Department, the Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority, the Minnesota DNR on the Luce Line Trail, and the City of Long Lake. • As it relates to the costs, the City and the Metropolitan Council will be sharing in the costs of the project. Orono's share amounts to $1,226,717 and the Metropolitan Council's share is $2,101,847. A number of Page 10 of 13
