City Administrator Bernhardson informed the Council and
Acting Mayor Callahan that the issue of screening has been
adequately addressed.
Mr. Henry Furchner, 360 Leaf Street, said that he had been
against this project all along because of his concern for
drainage and the wetlands abutting Leaf Street. He said that he
had been assured by City staff that the City Engineer's
recommendations took the wetland into consideration.

Mr. Peter Broziak of TKDA,
of Public Affairs for Contel and
application.
Mr. Milton Seeman, Administrator
Wayne King were present for this
• City Administrator Bernhardson provided a brief explanation
of this application for a switching building.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth noted that the distance between
2
MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 13, 1989
ZONING FILE #1463 - CONTEL OF MINNESOTA CONTINUED
the McCurdy residence and the proposed switch building is
approximately 801. Mabusth then asked Mr. Seeman for
clarification regarding the material proposed for the exterior of
the building.
Mr. Seeman explained that the original concept was to have a
brick -faced building. However, once it was determined that the
building would be located in the existing brush, it was agreed
that brick was not necessary.
Mabusth asked how far into the shrubbery the building would
sit?
Mr. Broziak said that 5' or 6' of the building would extend
beyond the shrub. Broziak mentioned that the Planning Commission
had requested that screening be provided and that Contel intended
to use Blackhills Spruce for that purpose.
Councilmember Nettles asked about the noise that would
be emitted from the air conditioners.
Mr. Broziak replied that there will be two 5,000 b.t.u. air
conditioners which are comparable to a normal, household window
air conditioner. Only one air conditioner will be operating at a
time.
Councilmember Nettles asked what height the Blackhills
Spruce trees will be at the time they are planted?
Mr. Broziak replied that they would be 5' to 61.
Nettles indicated that he preferred to have the building
totally shielded from view.
Planning Commission Representative Bellows said that full
screening was the intent of the Planning Commission's
recommendation.
Councilmember Goetten asked why Contel had chosen this
particular site for the switch building?
Mr. Seeman explained that Contel was concerned about the
major cable crossing from Three - Points underwater to Saga Hills.
He said that due to the low water, it would be easy for the cable
to be snagged by a power boat and put everyone out of service.
Mr. Seeman said that Contel determined it would be best to locate
a switch in the area where there was a need for service. He said
that the ideal location would be the lot on the corner of
Tonkaview Lane and County Road 19 as that is where all of the
underwater cables terminate. However, Contel felt that placing
the switching building in that location would destroy a buildable
lot. Mr. Seeman said that Contel discovered the area owned by
the Fairview Church and agreed to pave the gravel area and
construct a basketball standard in exchange for placement of the

switching building on Church property.
Councilmember Goetten asked City Administrator Bernhardson
to whom residents would address any concerns once the building is
completed?
City Administrator Bernhardson said that noise would more
than likely be the only complaint registered by any of the
neighboring property owners. He said unless something was
specifically set forth in the resolution, it would be difficult
to govern, as it would probably be below PCA guidelines for
noise.
Councilmember Goetten felt that due to the fact that the
switch building would be located in a residential area that
measures should be taken to mitigate as much impact to the
residents as possible.
City Administrator Bernhardson asked Mabusth if she knew
exactly how far away from the McCurdy residence the switching
building would be located?
Mabusth replied that it would be 901.
• Mr. Seeman said that Contel would be willing to turn the
building so that the elongated side would be east and west. He
said that the building would not be as far into the woods, but it
would put the air conditioning units on the east side. He said
that Contel would also prefer to place the Spruce trees around
the building rather than planting on the south side. He said
that following the Planning Commission's recommendation would
mean planting trees in the gravel parking lot.
Councilmember Goetten asked if staff had any objections to
turning the building?
Mabusth said that she did not foresee any problem with such
a proposal.
Planning Commission Representative Bellows informed the
Council and Acting Mayor Callahan that the Planning Commission
had in fact asked Contel to turn the building so to locate the
air conditioner as far from the McCurdy residence as possible.
Bellows said that the Planning Commission was told that the
building could not be turned because of the location of the
incoming cable.
Mr. Seeman said that a sidewalk would be added to access the
building if it were turned.
Zoning Administrator Mabusth asked whether the Council would
like to see an amended plan at their next meeting?
The Council and Acting Mayor Callahan agreed that they would
4

ZONING FILE #1463- CONTEL OF MINNESOTA CONTINUED •
prefer to see an amended plan.
Mr. Seeman indicated that Contel was anxious to proceed
before the ground froze.
City Administrator Bernhardson suggested that the resolution
could be adopted this evening with the condition that final
landscaping approval be obtained at the November 27, 1989 Council
meeting.
Councilmember Goetten asked whether the tax forfeit land was
related to this application?
City Administrator Bernhardson replied that there was a
connection because part of the parking lot Contel would pave for
the Church does not belong to the Church. Bernhardson said that
it would be to the benefit of the Church if they could purchase
the other property. He said that the Park Commission had
previously indicated that they have no interest in this parcel
for a park and the City of Orono did not wish to purchase it for
other City purposes.
Mr. Seeman said that he would prefer to have approval given
for the building so that their contractors could begin work.
Mabusth said that she would like to be assured that when •
Contel comes to the City for a building permit that a revised
survey is presented showing that the 35' street setback is met
and that the building will not encroach any closer to the north
lot line.
Councilmember Nettles said that he was not unsympathetic to
Contel's wish to proceed, but this evening's presentation was the
first opportunity he had to hear what is being proposed. He
questioned why it was that Contel had not attempted to bring this
matter before the Council at an earlier date?
Mr. Seeman said that Contel had just received final approval
from other government agencies in June.
Acting Mayor Callahan noted that as of the Planning
Commission meeting and up to this evening's meeting, Contel had
not indicated that they would be willing to turn the building.
Mr. Wayne Ring said that one of the reasons that Contel was
reluctant to turn the building because of the location of the
cables that must connect to the building. Mr. Ring said that he
had met with Mr. McCurdy and he had indicated that he did not
object to the location of the air conditioners as originally
proposed.
The Council and Acting Mayor Callahan indicated that they •
would prefer to have the building turned and the landscaping plan
brought back to the Council for review at the November 27, 1989

TAX FORFEITED PROPERTY
•
FAIRVIEW COVENANT CHURCH
City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the property
just east of the Contel property has been-in a "tax forfeit"
status since 1979. The City had released the property for public
sale. In 1987/1988 the City had a party interested in purchasing
the property and variances were granted to this party to allow
building. Shortly after the variances were granted, the party
decided not to go forward with the purchase. The Church has
asked the City to designate this parcel for park use only,
however that may not be a course that the City can take at this
point. Hennepin County currently has the property for sale for
$20,000.00 and there is approximately $5,000.00/$6,000.00 owing
for special assessments and taxes. The Park Commission reviewed
the property in 1979 and did not have an interest in the
property. Staff's recommendation at this time is to refer the
property back to the Park Commission to see whether their opinion
has changed and bring back their recommendation to Council for
their decision.
Mr. Fred Abrahamson, Chairman of the Fairview Covenant
Church, said that he had no knowledge that the recreation area
encroached on other property. He said that he does not want the
Church to lose the ability to use the tax forfeit property.
It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by
Councilmember Goetten, to refer this matter to the Park
•
Commission for the review of the request and to report back to
the Council. Motion, Ayes =4, Nays =O, Motion passed.
STUBBS BAY SEWER
City Administrator Bernhardson asked Assistant Planning and
Zoning Administrator Gaffron if there were currently any problems
with failing septic systems on Cygnet Place.
Gaffron replied that to the best of his knowledge there were
no, failing systems currently, but replacement systems have been
installed for approximately half of the properties in that area
over the last ten years due to past failures.
Bernhardson explained the various options available
- regarding the inclusion /exclusion of certain areas in the sewer
project.
Councilmember Goetten asked about Oxford Road and the need
to sewer around the lakeshore. Goetten believed that the need to
sewer around the lakeshore is a valid reason to sewer property
zoned 2 -acre. Goetten also believed that Sussex Square should be
omitted from the study. Goetten questioned whether it would be
necessary to amend the Comprehensive Plan if the MUSA line were
to be extended.
Bernhardson replied that the Stubbs Bay area was identified
within the Comprehensive Plan for potential sewer.
rl
MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 13, 1989
• STUBBS BAY SEWER CONTINUED
Councilmember Goetten indicated that should any rezoning be
done, the City should rezone all of the 2 -acre zoning areas which
have recently been sewered.
Goetten also questioned whether the Comprehensive Plan was
due to be reviewed for 1990.
Bernhardson replied that he would look into that matter
further and report back.
Planning Commission Representative Bellows did not believe
it would be beneficial to rezone lakeshore property for the
purpose of sewering lakeshore property.
Bernhardson said that issue was brought forth by the
lakeshore residents.
Councilmember Peterson concurred with Bellows and Goetten
that rezoning around the lake would be unwise. Peterson asked
whether the Planning Commission would be invited to the upcoming
meeting regarding Stubbs Bay sewer.
Councilmember Goetten asked City Attorney Barrett if the
City could legally ask residents to sign a waiver of appeal?
• Barrett replied that the City could proceed in such a
manner.
Acting Mayor Callahan believed that the next step for the
City is to have another meeting and suggested bringing this
matter back in December for consideration of a meeting date.
It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by
Councilmember Nettles, to bring this matter back for
consideration at the December 11, 1989 Council meeting. Motion,
Ayes =4, Nays =O, Motion passed.
WEST HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES PLANNING BOARD
RESOLUTION #2730
Councilmember Goetten asked whether support from the Cities
_would be indicated in the form of a letter to Hennepin County?
Bernhardson said that there was a draft resolution included
in the packets of information that, if adopted, would be sent to
Hennepin County.
Councilmember Goetten indicated that she would like to urge
the Council to send a letter to the County in addition to a
resolution.
• Bernhardson said that he could send both a letter and a copy
of the resolution.

Council's interest in continued County funding for West Hennepin
Human Services and that Council send a letter to Hennepin County
reiterating their support. Motion, Ayes =4, Nays =O, Motion

WATER SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
City Administrator Bernhardson said that the contractor for
this project has provided the City Attorney with the necessary
documents to begin work. Bernhardson advised that the initial
drilling for the water for the well was successful and the
interim well is in place. Discussions with the City of Medina
are taking place with regard to the possibility of an extension
and interconnection with Orono's system.
Councilmember Goetten asked for clarification regarding
Bernhardson's reference to an ordinance amendment.
Bernhardson explained that a precondition for rezoning in
the Highway 12 areas is sewer capacity improvements. Water
capacity was not included as a precondition and City staff
believes that it should be. An ordinance amendment would be
required for that inclusion and will be initiated with the
Planning Commission.
This was an information item and there was no motion. •
CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING - NAVARRE
This was an information item and there was no motion.
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS SIREN BIDS*
Acting Mayor Callahan requested approval from the Council to
discuss this subsequent to it being approved as a consent item.
The Council agreed.
Acting Mayor Callahan asked whether a limitation had been
placed on the expenditure for an emergency preparedness siren?
Bernhardson said that the City had requested more than one
price quotation. Chief Kilbo had expected the bids to come in
-around $15,000.00. They had received one quotation, and the bid
came in substantially higher than the quote. Bernhardson said
that was why the City was rejecting this bid. Bernhardson said
that he would see what funding was available and would report
back.
Acting Mayor Callahan indicated that he would not be in
favor of exceeding the $12,500.00 that Chief Kilbo indicated he
had available in the budget.
It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by •
Councilmember Peterson, to reject all bids for the installation
of the Emergency Preparedness siren. Motion, Ayes =4, Nays =O,
Motion passed.

WAYZATA COUNTRY CLUB /HAUSER ROAD AGREEMENT
RESOLUTION 2732
Bernhardson informed the Council that subsequent to them
receiving the draft resolution on Thursday, the parties involved
had requested four revisions to that draft. Berhardson said that
one change is the recognition of an existing Minnegasco easement,
secondly was the request for assurance that all subdivision
requirements had in fact been met; the third issue involves the
legal description used for previous applications for conditional
use permits by the Wayzata Country Club. The legal description
used had included the Hauser property and the City is attempting
to say in the resolution that the Hauser property be excluded.
• The last issue is whether the City Administrator or the Council
should determine when the road is to be constructed. The parties
are requesting that only the Council make that decision.
Bernhardson said that the City would recommend approval of the
resolution with those revisions requested. Bernhardson referred
to an earlier question by Councilmember Nettles regarding any
foreseeable problems with delaying the acquisition of the outlot.
Bernhardson said that the City preferred to delay acquisition of
the outlot until such time that it is needed.
City Attorney Barrett replied that language had been
included in the resolution that compels the parties to comply and
file notice of the City's claim so that subsequent property
owners would know of the claim.
It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by
Councilmember Nettles, to adopt Resolution #2732 as drafted
reflecting the revisions as noted by City Administrator
Bernhardson. Motion, Ayes =4, Nays =O, Motion passed.
DRUG AWARENESS RESISTANCE EDUCATION (DARE) PROGRAM STATUS
Councilmember Peterson questioned whether the appointment of
a new counselor was the reason why the DARE program for the Orono
Schools has been delayed?
Bernhardson said that the reason for delaying the program
• has not been discussed.
Peterson questioned whether the allocation of Federal Grant
monies would affect the program.
