MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 10, 2008 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 12 of 13 <br /> <br />(8. AGREEMENT REGARDING SHED AT 4205 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, Continued) <br /> <br />costs should be handled on underground utilities are different from how he views it, which will <br />need to be addressed. <br /> <br />Mattick stated Joel is unable to attend the work session on Wednesday as well and that he would <br />send out an e-mail to the Council on some preliminary ideas regarding special assessments for <br />underground burying of utilities. Mattick noted the City did bond for this project and that under <br />Minnesota Statutes the City does have the ability to assess for underground utilities if they have <br />the support of 100 percent of the property owners. Mattick stated if the City does not use bond <br />proceeds, they could possibly recoup it with special assessments. <br /> <br />Mattick stated as it relates to dock rights on Crystal Bay Road, his opinion has not changed but <br />noted the $30,000 is not the entire cost and that there would be additional costs associated with <br />title work. Staff has put together a preliminary memo that can be handed out to the residents. <br />Mattick stated he was recently contacted by an appraiser who informed him that some appraisers <br />are calling some lots lakeshore lots that are really not lakeshore lots. <br /> <br />9. LICENSES AND PERMITS <br /> <br />Limited Trap Use Permit <br /> <br />1. Steven Ruchti <br /> Multiple areas per maps attached to permit application <br /> <br />McMillan asked whether something similar to this was approved last year. <br /> <br />Bremer indicated there was. <br /> <br />McMillan stated some of the locations are not near any homes and that there was not enough <br />information in her packet to determine if there was a specific problem with beavers in a particular <br />area. <br /> <br />Bremer stated to her recollection last year’s application was clearer and provided more <br />information on specific problems. <br /> <br />McMillan commented the language used in the application is rather general and that she is unsure <br />whether there are specific locations that are currently experiencing problems. McMillan noted <br />one of the sites listed for a trap is near the Dakota Trail on Long Lake Creek. <br /> <br />Murphy stated the last time the council did have specific land issues related to the beavers. <br /> <br />White commented there were residents last year who had reported some trees were being <br />destroyed. <br /> <br />Murphy noted the Orono Police Department was the one who recommended the beavers be <br />trapped and removed last year but that he is unsure where the request is coming from this year. <br /> <br />Rahn recommended specific sites be identified. <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 11/24/08 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 11/10/08 [Page 12 of 13]
