MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON MAY 27,1997 <br />( #5 - Telecommunications Towers and Antennas Ordinance Amendment - Continued) <br />Korstad said that the water tower in Long Lake was structurally inadequate. He asked <br />that Orono do their part in providing for this need. <br />Jabbour said Alexander informed the Council of the grid system used for establishing <br />service. He felt the Council would need additional information to show that the proposed <br />sites are inadequate to provide the service. <br />Flint moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Ordinance No. 161, 2nd Series, amending the <br />City's telecommunications regulations, with the retention of the 65 foot height restriction <br />for amateur radio antennas. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />(#6) #2209 SPRING HILL GOLF CLUB - 700 SPRING HILL ROAD - <br />CUP/VARIANCE - RESOLUTION NO. 3902 <br />The applicant was present. <br />Gaffron reported that Staff was directed to redraft the resolution approving the CUP and <br />variances with findings and conditions relating to discussions held at the May 12 Council <br />meeting. He noted that a number of issues have been resolved. These issues are as <br />shown in the May 27 Staff memo, numbers 1 -6. <br />Gaffron indicated there are three remaining issues requiring resolution. They pertain to • <br />access from CoRd 6, upgrade of Spring Hill Road, and the proposed trail. A letter was <br />received from Hennepin County accepting the existing CoRd 6 access subject to <br />construction of a westbound bypass lane, an eastbound right turn lane (and possible <br />acceleration lane), and closure of all existing field entrances. <br />Council is being asked to determine whether the applicant shall be required to participate <br />in any upgrade to Spring Hill Road. The final version of the trail agreement was also <br />provided. Council was asked to provide any additions, subtractions, or revisions to the <br />resolution as presented. <br />Jabbour inquired how the applicant's use will affect Spring Hill Road. Gaffron said he felt <br />there would be few, if any, impacts. Jabbour said he thought this was a moot issue with <br />access from CoRd 6. <br />Kelley inquired if closing all accesses to Spring Hill Road before construction would <br />present any problem. Tim Johnson said it would be used during tree removal, for <br />demolition of the existing house, and building of the pump station. <br />0 <br />4 - <br />
