MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, August 11, 2014 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 4 of 12 (6. #14-3651 CITY OF ORONO WETLAND BUFFER PLAN AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, Continued) Mack noted that Staff would recommend approval of the agreement. Printup asked if this type of agreement is very common with wetland areas. Mack stated the agreement is standard practice whether the project is public or private. Mack indicated the City is not being asked to record it against the property since it is public property. McMillan noted the agreement merely spells out the maintenance requirements for that area and that she does not have any problem with the agreement. Levang moved, Printup seconded, to authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to execute a maintenance plan and agreement between the City of Orono and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for wetland buffer improvements and maintenance.

PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT 8. 3165 NORTH SHORE DRIVE – REVIEW OF SITE FILLING AND GRADING WORK Dave Martini stated Staff initially looked at this project back in June but additional concerns had been brought up regarding the erosion control on the site as well as what the actual scope of the project was going to be. Martini indicated he has met several times with the neighboring residents to help them understand the proposed work and the overall project. Martini stated the original plan had grading being performed approximately half way up the lot. Last week Staff was out there again checking on the progress of the work when it was noticed that the grading was extending all the way up the hill. Martini indicated at that point Staff started looking into what the overall plan is and a request was made that the applicant’s engineer submit a plan showing the extent of the grading. Martini stated he also met at that time with the adjoining property owners and again went through their concerns and what Staff’s understanding of the scope of the project was. Martini stated he also spoke with Mark Gronberg about some of those concerns and a request was made for a revised grading plan reflecting the work that was actually being performed. Martini stated some modifications were made to the plans to reflect those concerns that were discussed with the adjoining property owners.
