MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD APRIL 27, 1987 <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 12 CONTINUED <br />Maria Robbins, 900 N. Brown Road, noted that the <br />petition signers and Ringerswood residents were <br />against a connection road between Cardinal Ridge and <br />Ringerswood. They are in favor of on -site septic <br />and even if sewer and water were approved, they <br />would like the 2 acre density maintained. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson stated that the final <br />recommendation deleted the connection road between <br />Cardinal Ridge and Ringerswood. <br />Northeast Corner Area - Tom Reiersgord, attorney <br />representing the owners of the most of the south <br />half stated they would like re- consideration of a <br />MUSA line extension to that property. <br />Annexation Request - Mayor Smeby of Long Lake and <br />Long Lake City Attorney Arlo Vande Vegte were <br />present. Mayor Smeby stated that Long Lake would <br />like some say in the water & sewer issues. <br />Mr. Vande Vegte stated Long Lake has some very <br />important vested interests to protect. He stated <br />that unless they control development of the area <br />along Hwy. 12 which constitutes the greatest threat <br />to Long Lakes' businesses they may find themselves <br />at great economic risk. Since Long Lake has <br />developed the services necessary to develop that <br />area, they believe that it should be Long Lake's to <br />develop. Regarding the sewer plant property which <br />is owned by Long Lake, annexation into Long Lake <br />would allow them to develop it residentially in <br />which the homes would support their business <br />community in addition to increasing their tax base <br />and help support the school district. <br />Mayor Grabek explained the intent of the study to <br />determine the best development plan with regard to <br />maintaining the rural character noting the intent <br />was not to compete with Long Lake. <br />In response to Councilmember Goetten's question, Mr. <br />Vande Vegte stated that they have not talked to any <br />of the adjacent property owners about the proposed <br />annexation. <br />Curtis Quady, Crystal Bay, stated he is against any <br />annexation of the sewer plant property because of <br />the history behind originally locating the sewer <br />plant there, in addition, he is opposed to <br />annexation of any other Orono property. <br />0 <br />
