MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, May 13, 2013 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />   Page 16 of 26   <br />(8. #13-3596 CITY OF ORONO, ZONING STUDY – ACCESSORY USES AND STRUCTURES, <br />Continued) <br /> <br />Levang asked whether signage near the road would also be allowed. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated that has probably been in the code since the 1960s and that the signage would likely be <br />considered temporary. <br /> <br />McMillan requested Staff check on what state law says regarding the sale of produce. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated Staff will continue to refine the amendments and requested the City Council Members <br />provide their input via e-mail prior to the next meeting. <br /> <br />Levang commented she likes the clarifications that have been made to date. <br /> <br />The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> <br />9. NAVARRE UPDATE <br /> <br />Gaffron noted there was a meeting with the Navarre residents on April 8th and a number of comments <br />from the residents were provided at that time. In order to maintain forward momentum with regard to <br />Navarre, a number of items are being prepared for the June 10th Navarre Community Initiative meeting. <br /> <br />One of the items that Staff has requested is that Jim Grube of Hennepin County revisit the crosswalk issue <br />and address the public’s recommendation for a second island at the western crosswalk location, as well as <br />possible options for signage and/or signalization for the crosswalks. Staff anticipates receipt of his <br />comments and potentially a revised plan prior to the June 10th meeting. <br /> <br />Struve reported there are 38 existing streetlights that were installed in 1988. There is no conduit in the <br />ground and the wire is buried in a small trench, which does pose some issues if you want to replace the <br />wire. Spring Park’s poles were installed at the same time and have experienced two failures. Barr <br />Engineering has provided Spring Park with some plans for replacement of the poles. Barr Engineering <br />has also examined a few of Orono’s streetlights and found that they are in approximately the same <br />condition, which does present some safety issues. <br /> <br />Struve noted the Council wanted more residential input and have Staff explore additional options but was <br />directed by Council to not to include the standard MN/DOT street pole as one of the options. <br /> <br />The first option is a nautical type theme. The lighting fixture is similar to what Spring Park is moving <br />forward with. Pole design or all options are the same as Spring Park. <br /> <br />McMillan suggested the light bulb be removed from the graphic prior to the meeting. <br /> <br />Struve indicated Option 2 is fairly similar to what Spring Park is installing but Spring Park’s option <br />contains a small scroll brave near the top of the pole and adds a more decorative touch. Option 2 is <br />similar in appearance to Option 1. Option 3 is also very similar to option 2 and Option 4 is a more <br />modern looking pole, with a different lighting mount. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 05/28/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 05/13/2013 <br />[Page 16 of 26]
