MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 13, 2009 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />PAGE 7 <br />(Appeal of Zoning Violation, Continued) <br /> <br />Bremer stated she is not in favor of waiving the fee but would still vote in favor of the motion. <br /> <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCI REPORT <br /> <br />Franchot reported he has heard a number of good comments about the work being done on Casco Point. <br /> <br />McMillan stated Sarah Wyatt from Three Rivers contacted her last week regarding the trail and that the <br />possibility of doing different striping for the crosswalk is not likely given the number of government <br />agencies that would need to be involved. The Three River police are regularly patrolling the area and <br />cautioning the bikers to stop before crossing the road. Wyatt indicated that Three Rivers is encountering <br />similar problems on other trails. McMillan noted the trail is well used. <br /> <br />Bremer stated the trail signage located on Shadywood is incorrect and contains typographical errors. <br /> <br />White suggested Bremer contact Sarah Wyatt. <br /> <br />Murphy noted he attended a meeting with Mn/DOT on Friday and that the schedule for overlay is to let <br />the job in early September, commence the work on September 28th, and finish the work in October. The <br />work will begin at Highway 6 on the west end and go through Orono and Long Lake to the area where the <br />overlay has already been completed, and then continue east of that area. <br /> <br />Murphy stated the work will meet ADA requirements, which will result in all crosswalks being replaced. <br />Murphy commented there will be some difficulties encountered by motorists and business owners since <br />the work will be undertaken during the day and the fact that traffic will not be detoured. Mn/DOT is also <br />working on replacing the temporary orange signs and that the Orono/Long Lake retail community has <br />agreed on the signs they would like erected. Murphy indicated the sign work will be completed by next <br />spring. <br /> <br />Kellogg stated he and Gaffron reviewed the plans this morning. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated they did find six or eight minor items that need to be corrected and that he will be <br />following up with Mn/DOT in the morning. <br /> <br />Murphy reported there will be a full turning access connecting Industrial Boulevard around the Sherwin <br />Williams paint store. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if Police Chief Farniok is okay with that. <br /> <br />Murphy indicated in his opinion he is. Murphy noted he also requested the engineer review whether the <br />nose of the median piece is necessary and whether it could be shortened so it does not extend towards the <br />bridge any further, which would allow the motorists to make a left turn out of the Montessori School. <br /> <br />Kuruvilla indicated he would like to meet with someone from Mn/DOT and that he would prefer the nose <br />actually be eliminated totally. <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 07/27/09 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 07/13/09 <br />[Page 7 of 12]
