Work Session Exhibit C July 20, 2019 To Orono City Council From Mike and Rachel Feldmann, 1010 Old Long Lake Rd Jane Davidson and Francis Kulacki, 1020 Old Long Lake Rd Mary Claire Owen, 1030 Old Long Lake Rd This note is a follow up to a personal meeting with Mayor Walsh regarding the CSAH 112 Phase II project plan, specifically the design of the driveway serving our properties. There are two documents. The first reprinted here are verbatim comments from our comments to the Long Lake City Council on July 18, 2017. The only additional item that we add is a note that drawings of driveway options prepared by the County indicate an incorrect width of our driveway. The County has confirmed the measurements were incorrect but have not yet provided corrected drawings. The second document is an overview with a list of questions provided in written form to the Long Lake City Council. We would like to share our unanimous view of options for the driveway to our homes at the intersection of County Rd 112 and Old Long Lake as proposed for the CSAH 112 Phase II project. After hearing the discussion at the July 5 Long Lake City Council meeting, Jane and Frank reached out to the owners of 1010, 1030, and 1070 Old Long Lake Rd to discuss our views of the driveway. The owner of record of 1070 Old Long Lake Rd did not respond. In a meeting on July 13, we discussed the options presented previously by the County as well as the option presented at the July 5 Long Lake City Council meeting. In our discussions, we considered the views presented by the Long Lake City council and county as well as our concerns for public safety, cost of maintenance and convenience for the affected homeowners, aesthetics and potential legal issues that arise from sharing a roadbed. There have been three driveway plans presented to us by the county and one presented at the July 5 Long Lake City Council meeting.
