MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 14, 2008 <br />7:00 o’clock a.m. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />18. FOX STREET SEWER EXTENSION <br /> <br />Gaffron noted the Metropolitan Council has recommended that MPCA deny Orono’s permit for <br />connection of 3125 Fox Street to the metro sewer system. The basis for denial is that inclusion of this 7.5 <br />acre property in Orono’s density calculation will result in density falling below the 3.0 units per acre <br />minimum. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated it his belief that the Metropolitan Council is inconsistent in their interpretation of their <br />guidelines and that he would recommend the City Council continue to discuss this item further at their <br />work session on Tuesday. Gaffron stated in his view the 3125 Fox Street property should be included in <br />the metro sewer system and that the Metropolitan Council may have done their calculations incorrectly. <br /> <br />Gaffron requested the Council not take formal action on this item at this time. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the City has any record that the existing land in the MUSA has been grandfathered in. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated Staff is able to provide that type of documentation and that the City has provided whatever <br />information was required on this application. Gaffron stated it comes down to an interpretation by the <br />Metropolitan Council staff. Staff has been relying on guidelines from 2004 and that this recommendation <br />does not follow those guidelines. <br /> <br />Kellogg noted he did have a brief conversation with Kyle Colvin last week but that he has not had any <br />other interaction with this item. <br /> <br />McMillan moved, Murphy seconded, to table Item No. 18, Fox Street Sewer Extension. VOTE: <br />Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />Kiedrowski recommended the property owner be informed of the decision by the Metropolitan Council. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT <br /> <br />Mattick had nothing to report. <br /> <br /> <br />*19.
