ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR DECEMBER 14,1998 <br />( #10) #2425, SIDNEY AND BARBARA REBERS /SERVICE 800, INC., 2190 WAYZATA • <br />BOULEVARD - continued <br />Jabbour responded that Orono would have had to pay to bury the rest of the poles. He said the land <br />in that area sells for $5.00 per square foot and that is similar to Minneapolis. He feels additional <br />costs will add too much to the value of the land. <br />Kelley stated he does not make decisions based on economics, but on what is best for the City. He <br />tries to visualize what the city should be 30 years from now and how he wants it to look. He would <br />like a contingency that would require the landowner to pay for burying the poles in the future. It <br />could be assessed, like the cost of a sidewalk. <br />Jabbour feels it would be hard to justify assessing the costs because it is not a necessary service. He <br />asked if staff should look into the cost of burying the utilities. <br />Goetten commented that the Council should not burden staff if they are not going to require the <br />utilities to be buried. She thinks it would be very attractive, but she is concerned about the cost. <br />Jabbour asked staff to contact NSP regarding the cost of burying the utilities. <br />Kelley questioned the limit on the height of the light poles. <br />Goetten stated it was 20 feet. <br />Flint stated he wants to see the whole landscape plan from Brown to Willow. <br />No action taken. <br />( * #12) AMEND FINAL PLAT APPROVAL - DRIVEWAY LOCATION - "4461" BAYSIDE <br />ROAD - RESOLUTION NO. 4217 <br />Goetten moved, Flint seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4217, a Resolution Regarding <br />Enforcement of Condition 2 of Resolution No. 3346.
