MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JULY 22, 1996 • ( 99 - Bike Trail - Continued) Kelley said he had a problem with condemning property without knowing exactly what will be built on the property in question and asked to see the physical plans. Cook noted that the path was moved outward on the plans. On the Hite property, it will be necessary to be on the west side of the septic site. He noted if the trail is generally kept in the right - of -way, some of the trees can be saved and only a temporary easement would be required. This is not the case for the Brandenburg property. Cook said it would not matter which route was done as the trees would still need to be removed on the Brandenburg property. Moorse said he has been speaking with the Brandenburgs and they are understanding the trail placement. Moorse said the Hiles have a question regarding drainage. It is Moorse's intent to come to agreement with the Hiles or continue to move forward with the eminent domain process. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 1, Kelley. Callahan received confirmation from Barrett that he found the resolution satisfactory. ( #10) STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Moorse reported that at the recent work session, the Council discussed the need for a stormwater management plan. The Council asked Staff to present a proposal, which has • been updated by Bonestroo from its 1994 proposal. Chanhassen and Chaska were named as cities who have been well - satisfied with Bonestroo's work on their water management plans. 0 Hurr asked if the cost includes taking the plan through the Met Council for adoption. Cook noted the line item regarding the adoption. Cook said this includes all agencies involved in the review process to include the Met Council, MCWD, and DNR. Jabbour inquired what has been spent already. It was clarified that $80,000 has been spent for the topography maps, and the additional $108,200 is to be spent on the plan. Kelley asked for clarification on the purpose of such a plan. Moorse noted a number of purposes to include the plan being a tool for planning and implementation of solutions to stormwater drainage problems. Moorse said the plan would model the stormwater flows and volumes, and planning can then be accomplished in a more automated manner.
