MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 28, 2014 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />  Page 6 of 17  <br />(4. #13-3638 SOURCE LAND CAPITAL, 405 NORTH ARM DRIVE – LAKEVIEW GOLF <br />COURSE ROPERTY – CONTINUED SKETCH PLAN REVIEW, Continued) <br /> <br />McMillan asked if people can walk across the parcel. <br /> <br />Hiller stated there is a bituminous path that does experience some water in the spring and that they will <br />need to look at perhaps doing some grading to improve that situation. Hiller indicated at this point they <br />have not really examined the topography of that lot to see what a park would look like. <br /> <br />Printup asked if any of the other issues have been looked at closer, such as headlights and traffic. <br /> <br />Hiller stated the gentleman who raised that question is located in this area and that there should not be <br />headlights pointing at his house. <br /> <br />Levang and McMillan indicated they are not interested in obtaining water from Minnetrista. <br /> <br />Bremer stated she is not opposed to it but that it appears the majority of the City Council is not in favor of <br />that. <br /> <br />Hiller stated there is still ongoing discussion regarding the issues in Minnetrista and that it is uncertain <br />how it will end up. <br /> <br />Levang stated given the state of flux and the lack of decisions by Minnetrista, she would not like to bank <br />on that happening. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the City also has no control over the rates if water is obtained from Minnetrista. <br /> <br />McMillan stated Minnetrista is talking about a very expensive system that relies on future density, which <br />could cause the rates to go up higher than what is currently being anticipated. <br /> <br />Hiller stated they will draw the plans up with private wells and that he understands Mayor McMillan’s <br />concerns. Hiller stated if something should change in the near future regarding that, they could perhaps <br />address that at the final plat stage. <br /> <br />Printup stated he would also encourage them to take a closer look at a traffic study. <br /> <br />Hiller stated they are aware of a number of independent consultants who perform traffic studies, but that <br />if the City has a specific entity they would like have perform the study, they would be fine with that. <br />Hiller stated he would like to know exactly what the City Council is looking for in that regard. <br /> <br />Printup stated he would like the neighbors’ concerns addressed that have previously been raised. <br /> <br />Hiller stated they have not performed a formal traffic study. Hiller asked if they would like to see a <br />detailed traffic count. Hiller noted County Road 19 is designed for so much capacity and that they could <br />show how much capacity will be generated from this development to see what percentage of design <br />capacity would be reached on County Road 19. <br />
