MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 26, 2007 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />___________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />PAGE 8 of 32 <br />(#07-3310 Ryan Companies US, Inc., 2765 Wayzata Boulevard West – Continued) <br /> <br />Kellogg stated the applicant’s engineer has determined those costs would be $35,000 to $40,000 in <br />today’s dollars. <br /> <br />McJilton stated the costs associated with improving the outlet structure is minor and that the real costs <br />are associated with the armoring of the ditch. McJilton stated it is their understanding that the MnDOT <br />permit would not be issued until the improvements were completed and the costs would then need to be <br />worked out by the property owners. <br /> <br />Murphy asked if Ryan does not build out for five years but Morrie’s did in a way that his coverage <br />would then be over 72 percent, what Ryan’s expectation for those costs would be what. <br /> <br />McJilton stated in her opinion they would discuss the costs at that point with Morrie’s. <br /> <br />Murphy asked if there have been any discussions in that regard at the present time. <br /> <br />McJilton indicated they have not had those types of discussions. <br /> <br />Murphy commented if the cost is only 35 to 40 thousand dollars on a project of this size, he does not <br />know why anyone would want to assume higher costs in the future. <br /> <br />Bremer stated in her view that is a decision that should be left to the developer and that the ditch work is <br />not required at this point. Bremer stated in her opinion the City does have enough mechanisms in place <br />that would ensure the improvements are completed prior to the issuance of the permits. <br /> <br />Kellogg stated the City’s position on development in this community is that the developer needs to pay <br />their way on improvements regardless of the benefit received by the developer. <br /> <br />McJilton indicating they are not saying they will not pay for it but that they would like the ability to do <br />the work at the time that it is truly needed rather than completing it in the near future when there is the <br />possibility that the work may never be needed. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 12/10/07 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 11/26/07 [Page 8 of 32]
