DRIVEWAY PERMIT - 490 OLD LONG LAKE ROAD This item was tabled per the request of the applicant. 1910 SHADYWOOD ROAD - ACCESS /SIGNAGE Mr. David Bie was present for this matter. City Administrator Bernhardson explained that Mr. Bie was experiencing problems with parking on•Shadywood Road. When the Coffee Bridge was installed the County retained a right -of -way. However, the residents were left responsible for maintaining the road. Because of a problem with non - resident parking on the road, "No Parking" signs were posted by the County. Mr. Bie subsequently has had numerous problems with parking tickets being issued to family members and visitors to his home. Mr. Bie would like a solution to this ongoing problem. City Administrator Bernhardson said the City has reviewed the problem and suggests 2 possible solutions. The first • solution involves making this portion of Shadywood into a private access, with a public easement being given to Hennepin County. Another solution may be to post various signage. Mr. Bie provided more details pertaining to the various parking tickets that were issued by the Orono Police. He said that he would like the "No Parking" signs removed. He also wanted the County right -of -way deeded back to the residents so they could maintain the road and parking problems on their own. Mayor Grabek asked Bernhardson about the County's reaction to the City's suggested solutions. Bernhardson replied that he had informed the County of this matter and was requesting input from the Council before reapproaching the County.- Mayor Grabek informed Mr. Bie that the City would try to convince the County that the best solution would be to vacate their right -of -way. Councilmember Goetten asked if anything could be done to alleviate tickets being issued until this matter was resolved with the County? Bernhardson said that he would talk with ,Chief Rilbo to see what would be possible. It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember Nettles, that City Staff be directed to monitor this situation and initiate action with Hennepin County to have this matter resolved in January, 1989.
