WAYZATA BOULEVARD/CSAH 112 PHASE 2 — NO PARKING RESOLUTION — RESOLUTION NO. 6662 (continued) Walsh moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6662, a Resolution Prohibiting Parking on Wayzata Boulevard from Old Long Lake Road to Wayzata Boulevard West. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. 8. #16-3832, CITY OF ORONO, LURTON PARK VARIANCES ORDINANCE NO. 176 THIRD SERIES AND RESOLUTION 6663 Public Works/City Engineer Edwards stated there are two parts to this application. The first is the actual construction of the park improvements and then the variance request. Edwards indicated as it relates to the design and building portion, Staff did change the fence layout based on direction received at the last Council meeting and then sent that out to solicit bids. Only one bid was received. in addition, the Council directed some items be added back in that had been removed from the design. Quotes were also solicited for those items, with the largest dollar item being the well. The City received two responses back, with the low bid being $11,141 from TL Stevens Well Company. The Council further requested that Staff and the Park Commission review the park rules for the park. That process was undertaken by a Parks Commission subcommittee as well as Staff and was then reviewed by the Park Commission at their work session earlier this month. Edwards noted an amendment to the City Fee Schedule would be necessary if a fee is approved. Edwards stated he is looking for Council approval of the quote from Northern Specialties, Inc., for $79,754.00 for construction of fencing and gates from the park as well as a motion to accept the quote from TL Stevens for $11,141 for construction of a well. Council Member Walsh stated he would like to hear some feedback from the nearby neighbors but that he did not see any issues that raised a flag with regard to the proposed rules. McMillan asked if the City will be plowing the parking lot over the winter months. Edwards indicated the City currently plows the parking lot over the winter, which will continue, and then the trails will be compacted down with a sled to highlight the trails. Barnhart stated at the July 8 Council meeting, Staff was directed to draft an approval resolution for the variance as well as conduct the wetland delineation. That delineation has now been completed. Barnhart illustrated the location of the wetland. Barnhart noted the revised fence line is designated in blue and the purple line shows the 150 -foot setback from the lake. The red line shows the wetland boundary. The dashed line is the 35 -foot setback from the wetland line. Barnhart stated for the most part the fence is located outside the wetland and the wetland buffer and reflects quite a bit less encroachment from what was originally proposed. Staff recommends approval of the resolution. Barnhart noted the northern fence line has been shifted south to provide some additional buffer to the residents. Page 3 of 15
