MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 9, 1996 (Mayor /Council Report - Continued) • Callahan suggested the Staff review the studies made regarding whether Countryside Drive East and West should be opened up as a through road. It was noted that the road is dedicated and Staff recommended it as a through road. Callahan asked that the roadway and trails be reviewed at the same time. Kelley asked to review the pros and cons of having a through road. Callahan asked Staff to consider the setbacks regarding the dedication of Kelley Parkway as a through road in relation to the moratorium on Hwy 12. Gaffron noted that the change in language to the B -5 and B -6 zoning will be on the agenda of the upcoming Planning Commission meeting. Callahan asked that any changes and elimination of uses in the B -5 include an indication of the ability to place those uses elsewhere within the City. Jabbour said Hennepin County was in the process of updating the public access on North Arm. Kelley inquired about the seawall. Mabusth said the seawall had already been approved. Jabbour noted his concern with an agreement being required between the MCWD and City for a holding pond concerning the ice arena. Mark Engebretson had informed Jabbour of the request for the agreement and the resulting misunderstanding. Jabbour • voiced concern over the City being in the middle. He noted the MCWD was assuming the City would make twice - yearly inspections and maintain the holding pond. Jabbour said the MCWD and City have mutual goals but differing attitudes. The Council discussed the issue of stormwater control, who had the ability, and the legislative actions being taken. Council was concerned that rulings would dictate how the City spends its money without any say in the matter and rules changing without City input. Jabbour asked the Council to direct Staff to study how these matters should be handled. Callahan suggested the school be included on ponding for the ice arena. Moorse said Gene Strommen of the watershed said the agreement causing the confusion will be changed within the next two weeks. Callahan said he told Moorse to tell the MCWD to refer the matter to the committee and note the City would not agree to maintain the pond.
