ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR FEBRUARY 8, 1999 • (#4) #2425 SIDNEY AND BARBARA REBERSMRVICE 800, INC, 2190 WAYZATA BOULEVARD - Continued Jabbour said Mr. Often probably wants a public road all the way to the rear of the property. Often said there is a similar situation between the Burger King and the bank. Sansevere said if Mr. Often is going to develop the property, it should be incumbent upon him to provide another access rather than having a contingency for Service 800. Rich Kieman of KM builders said that if that situation does arise and the applicant is experiencing problems getting in and out, they would be the ones asking the City to work something out to allow better access. The site is designed to enable an access farther to the north. Kelley said parking is often lacking in commercial development and he is concerned about the future. Jabbour asked how the Council would feel about abandoning the road portion of the City's easement and keeping the utility and conservation easement that goes to the back of the property. • Kelley said he would consider it after new Highway 12 is built. 0 Jabbour said the Council is on record opposing a road behind the property. Moorse said this is not the time to make a decision whether to give up the road right -of -way. Jabbour agreed with Moorse, but he said that Orono is mainly a residential community and he does not think it would be appropriate to have a major thorough -fare in Sugar Woods. Moorse said it may be possible to have a frontage road concept that is not located directly south of Sugar Woods until it gets west of Sugar Woods and there may be a frontage road in a different spot. He does not feel that the City should give up that option. Flint said he is not in favor of giving up the option of the frontage road. Barrett said there should be a description of a utility easement across the triangle should it become Mr. Otten's property. He asked if Mr. Often would agree to this. Often said he would want to vacate the existing easement for a new easement. Stephen Pflaum explained the location of the utility easement. Page-?
