REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, FEBRUARY 11 , 1980 Page 6 The County has closed the Navarre Lane access off STREET VACATION at County Road 19 because of its nearness to the Navarre Lane traffic signal at the intersection of County Roads (Continued) 15 and 19 and dangers arising from left turns being made by cars going south on County Road 19 . The County has stated that the Navarre Lane access will never be opened and that an additional curb cut will not be approved in the right-of-way if the City approves vacation. The applicants propose a general cleanup and landscaping of the subject area. A corner of the Church encroaches into the Navarre Lane right-of- way. The Church has been unable to obtain clear title to the property. The service . station owner is concerned that he retain access to County Road 19 and wants to cleanup the frontage along Shadywood Road. We have heard nothing from the Lafayette Ridge group except that they signed the applicants letter. Please review the Planning Commission Minutes of • November 26 , 1979 and January 28 , 1980 for back- ground discussion and recommendation. The following are summaries of reviews from staff members and the Hennepin County Highway Department: A. Comments from the Public Works Coordinator: l. How costly would it be for the City, gas and telephone companies to locate the four under- lying utilities? The cost for the location of all utilities should be borne by the party requesting the vacation. We can assist by making sewer and water as-builts available to them. 2. What type of access would be necessary if the entire area were grassed? If the entire area is grassed, this does not create a problem as long as there are no fences or barricades. 3. Would a 10 ' easement be sufficient for each of the utilities? We would need a 20 ft. easement which is the normal utility easement. (Continued)
