<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Mintues <br />December 17, 1991 <br /> <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />Greg Nadeau stated that he was not only concerned about Fresno Street <br />being connected to the new road, but also concerned about the sewer <br />lift station and its location. He stated that he would like to see the <br />lift station located towards the west end of the plat. The location of <br />the lift station was discussed. <br /> <br />Jeff Colbath, 13155 183rd Avenue asked what the distance would be from <br />Orono Road to his back yard. Terry Maurer addressed his concern <br />explaining the difference between the road right-of-way and the driving <br />surface which would be about 13 feet. He further indicated that the <br />east bound traffic lane is proposed to be about 25 feet wide. He <br />explained that the road is wider than normal because there has to be <br />enough room for the center median because of safety reasons. Mr. <br />Colbath asked if the 13 ft. between his property line and the <br />right-of-way would be landscaped. Mr. Maurer stated that generally the <br />berm would be sodded. <br /> <br />Gordon Moldenhauer was also concerned with the location of the City <br />offices because of the accessibility and jeopardizing the recreational <br />needs of the resident in the area. <br /> <br />Irv Moldenhaurer, 12860 Orono Road, concurred with the concerns of the <br />other residents. He was also opposed to the realignment of Orono Road. <br /> <br />One of the residents of the area suggested that the lighting be minimal <br />so as to not be intrusive to the residential area. <br /> <br />Terry Davis, 12967 Orono Road, would like to see the natural vegetation <br />along the shoreline be maintained as much as possible <br /> <br />Commissioner VanValkenburg explained that the City has been struggling <br />wi th a new location for the City offices for a number of years. He <br />further stated that some property had been given to the City and in <br />order to better develop that property to it fullest extent Orono Road <br />has to be aligned the way its shown on the plat. He stated he was <br />sensitive to the resident's concerns. Commissioner VanValkenburg <br />further stated that when Orono Road was laid out to maximize this <br />property, the road got awfully close to the residential area. He <br />suggested that maybe the City could compromise and give up some footage <br />by moving the road further to the north so as to better buffer the <br />residential lots from the commercial area. This was also the general <br />consensus of the Commission. <br /> <br />Kelly Carter, 18239 Denver, felt that just because the City was given <br />some land it was not a good enough reason to build a City Hall and <br />police station in that area especially because it will bring a lot of <br />new traffic to an already traffic congested area. Ms. Carter suggested <br />al ternati ve sites such as the industrial park and areas more <br />centralized. <br /> <br />Jeff Colbath, 13155 183rd Avenue, was concerned with the speed limit on <br />Orono Road, and also sewer and water assessments. Mr. Maurer addressed <br />his concerns stating that the speed limit would be about 30-35 mph for <br />safety reasons. He further stated that when sewer and water is brought <br />
