ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 8, 1999 (#4) #2425 SIDNEYAND BARBARA REBERS✓SERVICE 800, INC, 2190 WAYZATA • BOULEVARD - Continued Flint said the greatest risk to the City is that none of the options work out, the building is completed and the only access is the right- inhight -out that the City does not want to use. He does not want that to happen. Barrett said the only way to ensure that does not happen, is to have an Option 4. That would require the applicants to pay for a condemnation of an easement. Even that would not be certain, because there would be a conflict between two public bodies about what to do with the triangle. If Mn/DOT won't grant a permit to cross their easement with a private road, then the only way to get across the triangle is for the City of Orono to condemn it. Sansevere moved, Kelley seconded, a motion to approve Resolution No. 4234, a Resolution Approving the Plat of Sugar Woods 2nd Addition, File No. 2425, with the condition that the final plat may not be filed until the City Attorney has approved all the documents.
