( #2.) PRELIMINARY LAYOUT COUNTY ROAD 6 RECONSTRUCTION -
RESOLUTION #3783
Mayor Callahan stated representatives of Hennepin County were in attendance to review
the preliminary layout for the reconstruction of County Road 6. Bruce Polaczyk
introduced himself and Steve Theis stating the information presented at tonight's meeting
is based on information received from comments of residents at a previous meeting. The
Council is to consider approving the changes by giving preliminary approval tonight and
construction would be mid - summer '97. Steve Theis identified the changes as reflected
in what is now identified as preliminary layout 03: development of cul -de -sacs, and at
the McCulley intersection. Our choice of the roadway was to make it less of impact on
property.
Callahan asked about the possibility of a bike trail. Theis stated this design fits the
County plan for a bike path, calling this design bicycle friendly because of the 8 foot
paved shoulders. This design is as narrow as possible. He stated he would need
direction from the Council regarding including a separated bike path in the preliminary
design.
Callahan asked how much additional right -of -way is required for a separate bike path.
Theis stated it would require an additional 12 feet or so depending upon the design.

However, the actual impact would be substantially greater because of additional grading.
The grading would affect an additional 14 foot wide area.
Callahan noted a design change at the Hunt Farm Road and County Road 6 intersection.
Callahan opened discussion to the public.
James Carpenter, 4380 Sixth Avenue North asked where the stop signs would be. Theis
indicated there would be one stop sign from north bound McCulley Road to west bound
County 6. Carpenter indicated there was a large amount of traffic using the roadway at
the present time. He also indicated some drivers do not honor the stop sign at the
present time and he was concerned about the speed on the road.
Bob Pierce, 4720 Watertown Road stated the curve should be reduced. Theis stated the
curve had been flattened. Pierce agreed with that change.
Larry McCartney, 755 Hunt Farm Road asked why the roadway was moved closer to the
entrance to Hunt Farm Road instead of moving it to the south. Theis stated there was
a corridor on the north side of the road that could be used with less impact on •
homesteads on both the north and the south side of the road. McCartney questioned why
impact the north side. Theis stated using the Outlot on the north side has less impact
than using people's front yards on the south side. At the last meeting he understood that
to be the direction indicated.
Dick Flint indicated the bike trail was brought up at the last meeting. Both the County
and the City's plans show a bike trail on this roadway. Using a suburban design, there
is room for a path within the currently proposed R -O -W limits. Hun asked how much
room would there be between the shoulder of the road and bike path with an urban plan.
Flint stated 8 feet from the curb to the edge of the bike path if you use the urban section.
Flint stated you would have the driving lane first at 12 feet, then you have an 8'
shoulder, then you have a curb, then you have an 8' area, then you have a bike path
beyond that.
A resident asked if the sight distance at Hunt Farm Road would be worse with this new
layout. Theis indicated it would not be worse.
A resident asked if there was any other way, such as putting in a four -way stop, of
doing improvements to Six and making it compatible with what was done to the west.
It seems people living along the road will have a hard time getting out on the road at the
rush hour. All you are doing is speeding traffic up to get to the bottle neck. Is there
any way of saying we can try a four -way stop or a stop and go light. is

( #2. - Preliminary Layout County Road 6 Reconstruction Continued)
Callahan noted the Council has been looking at this for some time. The city is interested
in diverting traffic from the west to Highway 12 as rapidly as possible. He indicated he
is not sure we are going to be speeding up the traffic a great deal but we are encouraging
people to take that curve. There are a number of places in Orono which have that
problem. It has been the conclusion of the Council that a four -way stop sign at that
intersection will not serve our purposes and that it will not serve the purposes of the
County.
Jabbour stated this has been going on since 1980 in the Comp Plan. He would like
persons to be aware of this planning, and distributed copies of the Comp Plan to the
audience.
Callahan noted the City could not do this, it is a County project.
A gentlemen, stating he arrived late, asked if any thought had been given to a bike or
walking trail. Callahan stated yes and more would be stated during the meeting. If we
want to have a bike trail we have to specifically ask the County to amend the plan to
include a bike trail. The bike trail, depending upon the design, has some additional costs
• and also could have additional right -of -way requirements somewhere between 10' and
15'.
Sandy Larson, 4285 Sixth Avenue North stated the transportation plan emphasizes
County Road 15 which makes it sound like traffic is to be directed to the north and not
on County Road 15. Callahan stated the Council is also dealing with roadway
improvements to County Road 15.
A gentlemen asked about the traffic count on County Road 6 and what would be done
to lessen noise. Theis stated that the County in the next couple of months will be talking
to everyone adjacent to the roadway regarding the issues expressed.
The Mayor closed public discussion.
The Mayor noted the County will be talking to everyone along the road to determine any
adjustments and refinements needed, and will bring back the final layout before the end
of the year.
Polaczyk indicated the Mayor was correct, stating they would also have a cooperative
agreement for the Council to sign, which lays out the City's and County responsibilities
regarding maintenance and the city's cost participation in the project. He stated that if
an off -road bike trail is incorporated into the design there will be additional right -of -way
• needed that will impact the cost.

( #2. - Preliminary Layout County Road 6 Reconstruction Continued)
Hurr asked who pays for the additional cost of an urban section bike path. Polaczyk
stated that would be shared 50150 between the County and the city.
Goetten asked about the safety of a bike path in an 8' shoulder. Polaczyk stated it
certainly is not as safe as an off -road trail, however, shoulder paths work well for
bicyclists.
Jabbour asked if the residents preferred a cul -de -sac or a loop road. They indicated a
cul -de -sac.
Callahan asked for a show of hands regarding the bike trail. There was a split
preference of those in the audience.
Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded to adopt Resolution #3783 approving the preliminary
layout for County Road 6 as presented, and Council will discuss the bike trail at the joint
Council /Planning /Park Commission work session Wednesday, October 30. Vote: Ayes
5, nays 0.
Robert Hanning, 4220 Sixth Avenue North, questioned the Council regarding receiving •
just compensation for property that is taken for the reconstruction. Theis stated he had
a handout regarding compensation. Polaczyk stated the County hires an appraiser who
places a value on the property to be acquired. The County right -of -way people will
make an offer to the property owner based on the appraisal. If you take exception to that
you can hire an appraiser, which you will be compensated for up to $500.00, but that
compensation will not be given back to you until the final settlement is reached. If there
is still no settlement then the property would go into condemnation and would be heard
by a Condemnation Committee. The Committee would hear both sides and they would
make a determination of the value.
City Attorney Radio stated the District Court Judge appoints the 3 member
Condemnation Committee. Generally the members are an attorney who is familiar with
condemnation, a real estate appraiser and a real estate broker. Throughout the process
there is very little for the city to do. The matter is between the property owner and the
County. If you are not satisfied with the Condemnation Committee determination you
can go to District Court for a jury trial.

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
( 5.) #2128 ORONO HOCKEY BOOSTERS, INC., 1025 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD
NORTH - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT /VARIANCES - RESOLUTION
• Mark Engebretson, Orono Ice Arena, Inc. and Victor P architect were present.
Mabusth stated the Orono Ice Arena Inc. was proposing an indoor ice arena 163' by 251'
on a 4.4 acre parcel located in a 2 acre rural residential zoning. In March of '96 the
City amended the Conditional Use section of the zoning code under "Schools" to allow
an indoor ice arena as long as it was located on the school property, the structure would
meet the required 50' setback from all lot lines, that the arena would not be divided from
the school property by a road, and the facility would either be owned and operated by
the school or by a non - profit organization. The applicant must also demonstrate the
financial capability of funding at least 80% of the total project cost, this is included in
your information. The three variances are not related to the new section of the code.
The variances are: 1.) setback from Old Crystal Bay Road for the parking proposed at
19.3', 2.) parking stall variance at 91 stalls, and 3.) signage variance. Mabusth stated
the applicant must protect the wetland areas found on property. If any changes are to
be made they must first go to the Watershed District and the Corps of Engineers before
coming to the city. The applicants have paid attention to the elevations in an attempt to
keep noise from this facility from venting out onto the adjacent properties. If air
conditioning is added at a later date the condenser will be located behind a masonry wall
to minimize any noise. The only opening is a door that is only opened in cases of
emergency on the west side.
Callahan stated that items #13 and #15 are related issues to this application and should
C7

(# 5. #2128 Orono Hockey Boosters, Inc. - Continued)
be considered and included with this application. Mabusth noted that the Met Council
has approved the MUSA line Comp Plan amendment on October 24, 1996 and in the
summer of '96 a joint engineering study confirmed that there is existing downstream
capacity to serve this facility.
Moorse noted the maintenance of the storm water facilities is a requirement that the
MCWD is placing on their permit. It calls for the city of Orono to monitor the
stormwater ponding. Hurr noted if the MCWD does not have resources to monitor the
maintenance of the ponding facilities why do they think the city has the resources? If we
have to hire an engineer to monitor does the Hockey Association pay for that cost?
Moorse stated that if this is the direction the MCWD is going in relation to other types
of development we would certainly want to look at that.
Callahan stated he was distressed when a public body exerts its authority over another
public body. If the Council decides to approve this, the Council should add to the
resolution that because of the public nature of the arena this agreement is not a precedent
to continue this requirement.
Engebretson stated he had the maintenance agreement which calls for monitoring every •
six months by the Hockey Association. Hurr noted it says by the city. Engebretson
noted the city will monitor their action and wants it to be as easy as possible. Hurr
stated the Ice Arena organization will maintain it and give the reports that are due every
six months to the city. Hurr stated there needs to be some kind of an agreement so we
know what the city is responsible for the monitoring. How can we require the applicant,
on their own, to maintain their pond?
Callahan moved, Kelley seconded to direct staff to return the MCWD agreement
regarding stormwater facility monitoring, with the understanding that the city approves
the agreement with the MCWD in which the city will undertake inspection of the
stormwater management facilities at the Ice Arena. But the Council's action is not an
acceptance of proposed policy regarding the MCWD's authority over the city regarding
this issue. Hurr requested the costs be borne by the applicant. Vote: Ayes 5, nays 0.
Callahan stated the Comp Plan was to include this area in the MUSA line and also the
hot spots. Hurr moved, Jabbour seconded to adopt Resolution #3791 Comprehensive
Plan A. Vote: Ayes 5, nays 0.
Engebretson stated the number of units needed by the ice arena will be determined by
the Metropolitan Waste Control but he is anticipating the need of 10 to 12 units.

Hurr asked for the landscaping plan. Engebretson stated the landscaping plan has been
revised to address the concerns of the Timms. They are working very hard on the
landscaping plan, and will keep working that plan until the building looks as good as it
can on that site. We have $40,000 in the budget for landscaping. They have had a lot
of discussions with the neighbors to address their concerns.
Dr. Mitch stated the school district has reviewed the Hockey Association plans and is in
full approval.
Mr. and Mrs. Timm, 2885 County Road 6, stated they are unhappy about the location
of the facility stating this has a major impact on their property.
Karen Zeeb stated she lived next to the Timms and felt left out of the project. She had
a petition from all persons on Jamestown Road and at the Watershed District meeting
they would not even listen to the neighbors' concerns.
Callahan requested Engebretson to explain the thought process of the building and site
design. Engebretson stated the building is on the north and parking on the south because
the school will use the parking. Preference was to shield the building from County Road
6. Kelley noted with parking on the south there will not be any parking on County Road
6. Engebretson noted the entrance door is on the south and the wetlands are protected
with this layout. He also noted the school is paying for the parking area.
The neighbors indicated they also had concerns regarding traffic. Mabusth stated the
Timms and the Hockey Association were to work on an agreement regarding plantings.
Engebretson stated they have not completed this at this point. Mabusth listed conditions
to be voted on for the CUP. Parking lot and building lighting were addressed by the
Architect.
Council stated that the applicant and Timms should continue their talks and if not
completed the Timms should contact the City. The applicant has tried to lessen the
impact of this facility.
Kelley moved, Goetten seconded to adopt Resolution #3784 approving Conditional Use
Permit and Variances for Orono Hockey Boosters, Inc., 1025 Old Crystal Bay Road
North. Vote: Ayes 5, nays 0.

Applicants were present.
Gaffron stated this item was tabled at Council September 23rd meeting at the request of
the applicants. Since that time, Nancy Gawron, representative of the estate, has provided
documentation that the Hedlunds are no longer involved with the request, hence the
Hedlunds no longer appear on the proposed resolution. The estate advises they are in

( #7.) #2159 JAMES AND JoANN JUNDT, 1400 BRACKETTS POINT ROAD -
VARIANCE - RESOLUTION #3786
Mrs. Jundt was present.
Gaffron stated the application is to restore two existing limestone rock stairways leading .
down the lakeshore bank east of the existing house. The stairways have been in place
for many years, and restoration will include repair or replacement of deteriorated
stonework and handrails. This will now give the property 4 access stairways on to
property with 600' of shoreline. In addition applicants proposed to restore the
underground grotto and its associated retaining wall. The grotto was originally an old
pump house. The applicant has withdrawn the restoration of the existing boathouse.
Callahan asked applicant if she was satisfied. Applicant indicated yes.
Goetten stated this is a very unique case. Applicant indicated they are trying to bring
the property back to its original condition.
Kelley indicated pictures indicate a large amount of vegetation in the stairway and
applicant must understand amount of vegetation removal.
Jabbour stated he disagreed with the Planning Commission regarding the 4 stairways for
600' of lakeshore, it should depend on individual property.
Goetten moved, Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution #3786 granting lakeshore setback
and 0 -75' hardcover variance approval for restoration of lakeshore stairways, retaining
wall and grotto for James and JoAnn Jundt at 1400 Bracketts Point Road. Vote: Ayes
