MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 24,1997 <br />• ENGINEER REPORT <br />( #6) FEASIBILITY REPORT - ORONO ICE ARENA WATER AND SEWER <br />EXTENSION - ORDER PLANS AND SPECS - RESOLUTION NO. 3848 <br />Gaffron reported that the resolution allows for acceptance of the feasibility report and for <br />the plans and specifications to be ordered for the water and sewer extension to the Orono <br />Ice Arena. Since the property owners have agreed to pay the full cost of the project, no <br />public hearing or assessment hearing is required. <br />Goetten voiced concern whether there will be enough sewer units available for the needs <br />being created. She is concerned with the potential units required for the Highway 12 <br />upgrade and for the school district. <br />Cook said the concern depends on the magnitude of the projects. He felt there were 50 <br />units available. Cook did not know what the needs would be for the school district. He <br />indicated that the Department of Transportation will install the sewer in the Highway <br />corridor, and the City may have to scramble until it is built. Kelley said this may not be <br />the case if the sewer line goes down Old Crystal Bay Road. Cook noted the possibility of <br />tying in with Long Lake at North Brown Road. Kelley indicated there may be a need for <br />sewer if the property on the southwest corner of Old Crystal Bay Road and Hwy 12 is <br />rezoned to commercial. Cook suggested each application be reviewed as it comes in. He <br />• indicated the need to be flexible. <br />L74 <br />Flint inquired about the sewer line connection north to Medina. Cook said the City has <br />an agreement with Medina to connect to Medina's force main which discharges to the <br />south. <br />Kelley moved, Peterson seconded, to approve Resolution No. 3848 accepting the <br />feasibility report for the Ice Arena water and sewer improvements and ordering the <br />preparation of plans and specifications.
