If they can do that without <br />a comprehensive grade plan, the building permit would be issued. <br /> <br />Rahn asked whether the applicant would rather have it denied rather than tabled. <br /> <br />Holmers stated he would need to consult with the other members of his group. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Rahn seconded, to table Application #12-3546, Todd Holmers on behalf of Maple <br />Place, LLC, 1545 Maple Place. <br /> <br /> <br />Gaffron noted this application has a 60-day review period that expires May 4th. Within the next day or <br />two Staff will be sending a letter to the applicant extending the review period to 120 days. <br /> <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT <br /> <br />Struve stated he has nothing to report. <br /> <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Franchot reported Mayor McMillan, City Engineer Struve, City Administrator Loftus, and himself <br />attended another meeting with the Long Lake Utility Task Force. Franchot commented the task force is <br />making progress on developing a document that memorializes all of the infrastructure connection points <br />underground. There are currently 350 sewer hookups contained in the fire station agreement and the task <br />force will be discussing that at the next meeting. <br /> <br />Franchot stated one of the issues before the Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission is that there <br />are huge tracts of land where residents have no availability to cable because the cable company does not <br />feel it will make a profit expanding service to those areas. The LMCC is looking at expanding a couple <br />of test sites for YMax technology. While that technology will not completely solve the problem due to <br />the broadband restrictions, it would give some people the ability to sign up with Mediacom. <br /> <br />McMillan asked for the definition of YMax. <br /> <br />Franchot stated YMax is similar to WiFi but has greater range and performs better outdoors. Franchot <br />indicated it is similar to what the City of Minneapolis has recently installed. <br /> <br />McMillan thanked Jan Callison of Hennepin County for helping Orono obtain the grant for the Crystal <br />Bay playground equipment. McMillan noted the new equipment will be purchased sometime this <br />summer. <br /> <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 05/14/2012 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 04/23/2012 <br />[Page 14 of 16]
