� MINUTES OF TAE ' <br /> � ORONO CITY COUNCII..MEETING <br /> Monday,November 25,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (3. CSAH 112 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, Continued) <br /> Printup stated he would be more in favor than not since it may appear lopsided. <br /> Bremer stated her main issue with it is the upkeep,but that the Council should consider it and obtain the <br /> final costs before a decision is made. <br /> Turner indicated they have scaled the streetscaping down considerably from the first plan and that the <br /> hardscape tends to be more maintenance free and lasts longer. <br /> Anderson commented the trail along the school property would be a nice amenity to have,but if the <br /> school district is not interested in paying for it,then it probably is not a necessity. Anderson stated she <br /> also feels the same about the lighting. Anderson stated she would not be opposed to a smaller gateway in <br /> this segment as opposed to some of the other segments. <br /> McMillan asked if the lighting is just at the intersection. <br /> Turner indicated it is and that the lighting ties into the lighting in Segment 2. If the Council elects not to <br /> go forward with the lighting in segment two,then the lighting in segment one would not make any sense. <br /> Turner indicated the purpose of the lighting is to light it at least at the back of the turn lanes. Tumer <br /> stated he would encourage the Council to consider some lighting in Segxnent 1 if there is going to be <br /> lighting in Segment 2. <br /> McMillan stated she would personally prefer the area to remain dark west of Willow. <br /> Grube stated what he has gathered so far from the Council is that they would be in favor of the trail in <br /> Segment 1 only if the school participates in the costs. Grube asked if the City would be receptive to <br /> one-third for the school district, one-third for the City,and one-third for Hennepin County. <br /> Anderson stated she sees the value in considering that. <br /> Grube stated as it relates to the streetscape,the Council is interested only in the northeast corner and they <br /> would like to see that slightly more modest. Grube stated he also heard no on the lighting in Segment 1. <br /> McMillan asked if the Council would be interested in finding out the costs for the improvements near <br /> Willow. McMillan asked if that would be state aid money for the City. <br /> Struve indicated it would be. <br /> Grube noted the design and construction would be according to MSA standards for eligibility. <br /> It was the consensus of the City Council to leave in the improvements to Willow for the tixne being. <br /> Printup stated as it relates to the trail/sidewalk,he is leaning toward being in favor of it since years from <br /> now people may be wondering why they didn't include a sidewalk there. Printup stated he is not in favor <br /> of additional lighting in segment two and that a conversation with Long Lake is probably necessary <br /> regarding the streetscaping. <br /> McMillan asked if the streetscaping should remain in at this point. <br /> Page 7 of 29 <br />
