� . <br /> . ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 28, 1977 Page 23 <br /> � Mr. John Lobben discussed with the City Council VO-TECFi SCHOOLS <br /> that Vo-Tech is studying long-range plans to (Continued) <br /> � construct a Vo-Tech School in this area. The <br /> State Board of Education has requested Vo-Tech <br /> � staff to work with the cities involved and attempt <br /> • to reach an agreement with them. Mr. John <br /> Lobben continued by stating that our study <br /> � process has taken more time than originally <br /> expected and we do realize there has been a lack <br /> � of communication. <br /> � Mayor Bran Van Nest commented that Vo-Tech' s recent <br /> • letter to Orono dated February 10, 1977, states: <br /> � Joint Independent School District 287 has carefully <br /> considered a "Resolution• Regarding the Proposed <br /> � Future Construction of the Joint Independent <br /> School District No. 287 Area Vocational-Technical <br /> � School Located on the South Boundary of the City <br /> • of t�edina" adopted by the City Council of the <br /> City of Orono on Decmeber 13, 1976. <br /> � We appreciate your identifying the concerns which <br /> you foresee as possibly associated with our <br /> proposed West Campus. As stated earlier, we are <br /> currently conducting relevant studies on previously <br /> requested areas and will make certain that the <br /> items identified in your resolution are included. <br /> . Based on our knowledge of campus plans and service <br /> possibilities, we do feel at this time that your <br /> concerns can be favorably addressed. <br /> + The decision of the Council to adopt this resolution <br /> was r,tost unfortunate since several of the assumptions <br /> r listed are- actually inaccurate and-�t -times incon- <br /> sistent- and :unequaily applied. In �he absence <br /> � of-pertinent information, conc�usions appear to <br /> • have bsen reache�3 based on ;misinformation and <br /> speculation of West �ampus plans, needs and impact. <br /> � The Orono City Council has yet to have been presented <br /> with information on West Campus operations from <br /> � which one could determine the extent of municipal <br /> service needs, urban/rural nature, possible development <br /> � inducement or consistency with cor,ununity planning. <br /> • Thus far we have only shared a long range conceptural <br /> plan believed to be implemented sometime in the early <br /> � 1980 ' s using data from our north and south campuses <br /> and have asked that the possibility of a West Campus <br /> be included in your comprehensive plans, especially <br /> as they relate to the possibility of a sewer interceptor <br /> to the area of the site. <br /> � (Continued) <br /> � <br /> r <br /> � <br /> � <br />
