i <br />l <br />MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE 22, 1987 <br />SCD REPORT CONTINUED <br />Mayor Grabek asked about the status of the Minnehaha <br />Creek Water Shed District regarding a LMCD seat; and <br />also the current lake level. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Ms. Hurr stated there has been no response regarding the <br />LMCD seat; regarding the lake level the lake would have <br />to rise approximately 1' before any water would flow <br />over the dam; Minnehaha Creek is presently dry. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson asked about the status of <br />the airport issue. <br />Ms. Hurr stated that the Metro Council Systems feels an <br />airport should be located in this area using the <br />rationale that 45 minutes to the existing closest <br />airport is too far. The systems committee does not <br />agree with this rationale feeling that existing airports <br />could be enlarged. <br />-Curt Quady, 1223 Brown Road South, stated that his lawn <br />still does not have a good growth; and has not yet <br />received the report on the Crystal Bay sewer project <br />costs. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson stated that they are <br />still working on the report. <br />Regarding the grass, Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson <br />stated that they have been watering but with the dry <br />conditions cannot keep up with it, and are still working <br />on it. ' <br />-Maria Robbins, 900 N. Brown Road, asked to be updated on <br />the status of installing a stoplight at the intersection <br />of Willow Drive and Hwy. 12 in light of last year's <br />fatal accident and noting last weekend's accident <br />involving three Orono High School students. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson stated that prior to the <br />fatal accident last winter, the Long Lake Chamber of <br />Commerce Task Force sent a letter to MnDOT requesting a <br />stop light at that intersection. MnDOT denied the <br />request because they felt the intersection did not meet <br />the necessary warrants for a stop light at that <br />location. Because of the most recent accident, Orono <br />along with Long Lake will again be requesting MnDOT to <br />review this intersection for a stoplight. He noted that <br />a petition would be helpful. <br />E <br />
