A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HENNEPIN COUNTY DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION TO ERECT TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AND
NO PARKING SIGNS ALONG COUNTY ROAD 51 - NORTH SHORE DRIVE
WHEREAS, the City of Orono has for several years received
complaints from neighborhood citizens concerning traffic hazards and
parking conditions along a certain portion of North Shore Drive; and

B-2 Lakeshore Business District parking on the highway right of way
and interfering with the neighboring resident's use of their private
property; and
WHEREAS, part of the problem is caused by a 300 ft.
unregulated, uncontrolled access to North Star Marina which access
directly contributes to a traffic hazard by allowing uncontrolled
ingress, egress and parking; and
WHEREAS, part of the problem is a sharp curve on a hill
just east of the above mentioned area which curve limits sight
• distances and contributes to the traffic hazards created by the
parking and access problems; and

Star Marina has not in and of itself made any attempt to correct
the access problem on the marina property; and
WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Department of Transportation
is the responsible agency having jurisdiction to correct and/or
alleviate the above mentioned problems; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Orono finds that
the above noted problems are a public nuisance directly affecting
the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Orono and the public
which traverses this County highway,
