MINUTES OF TAE � <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING � <br /> Monday,November 25,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (3. CSAH 112 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, Continued) <br /> McMillan asked what the Council's thoughts are regarding the first segment. <br /> Printup indicated he is not in favor of a trail along the school property and that it is his understanding <br /> there may be a trail across the street or along Highway 12 at some point. Printup stated he also is not in <br /> favor of the lighting along that segment. <br /> McMillan stated she has an issue with the$40,000 in streetscaping in that area. McMillan stated there is <br /> a sidewalk and trail already there and she does not see the need to add any more concrete. <br /> Levang asked if the school is willing to pay for the trail. <br /> Grube indicated that question was not asked of them. <br /> Turner displayed the rendition of the intersection of Old Crystal Bay Road. <br /> Grube indicated that section is approximately$60,000,with the County paying$20,000 and the City <br /> paying$40,000. <br /> Printup stated as it relates to the streetscape that is something he has warmed up to. <br /> Levang asked if he would like that on both sides of the street. <br /> Printup stated he likes the streetscape as shown in the northeast corner but not on the south side. <br /> Grube noted the streetscape on the northeast side would be appro�mately$30,000. <br /> Levang indicated she would not be in favor of it on the south side. <br /> McMillan suggested the segment of trail the school wanted be left in as well as the streetscaping on the <br /> northeast side so it can be priced out. <br /> Bremer concurred the City Council should obtain prices for those items. Bremer indicated she would not <br /> be opposed to having the trail extended as far as they can in light of the City's philosophy of encouraging <br /> pedestrian access. Bremer stated it may be that ultimately the cost may be too much for the trail and the <br /> City Council decides not to go forward with that. Bremer commented she also is having a difficult time <br /> understanding why the hardscape in the northeast corner would cost$30,000 and that perhaps a little bit <br /> less would be better received. Bremer noted the City would be responsible for the upkeep of the <br /> streetscaping. <br /> Grube stated it probably would not be worth it to cut it back any further. <br /> Turner stated refinements of the design will occur and that they are trying to determine whether the <br /> Council is totally opposed to any elements of the design at this point. Turner indicated the costs for the <br /> streetscaping may come in below$30,000 once the final design is completed. <br /> McMillan and Levang indicated they would not be in favor of the streetscaping in that area. <br /> Page 6 of 29 <br />
