MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING — NOVEMBER 25, 1951 <br />#1691 — CONT. <br />Mabusth explained there is an outlot proposed for a future road <br />to the railroad track to serve properties on the north side of <br />the railroad, for potential development of 16 to 50 units. <br />Butler noted the plat does not specify which area is considered <br />future roadway. <br />Mabusth noted the road will be platted through the exception. <br />Easements will need to be acquired from the MWCC to allow <br />completion of the roadway. <br />Butler questioned whether the owner of Lot 12 may loose dry <br />buildable land to provide an easement for the roadway if one <br />cannot be obtained from the MWCC. <br />Roos noted the citing of the exception was mandated by the <br />location of the underpass. He noted there is no possibility of <br />moving the roadway further eastward. He stated that they haven't <br />decided whether to deal with the MWCC as a part of this plat. <br />Roos noted that Wolf's property is marginal for development. <br />Jabbour was uncomfortable that this issue needed to be resolved <br />quickly, which is now including access to the Wolf property. He <br />understood that no other development would ever exit onto this <br />road.. <br />Roos reiterated that it is a marginal developable property, but <br />because it does have a zoning district, they provided access for <br />a possibility of future development. <br />Jabbour stated he wanted to make it clear that Orono does not <br />want any additional traffic other than from this subdivision to <br />access onto Orono Orchard Road. <br />Roos understood the Council's position, but noted because of the <br />underpass, felt it should be retained as an outlot as <br />historically there was some type of access to the Wolf property. <br />Jabbour noted that historically the property being developed was <br />in Orono. <br />Barrett injected that another limiting factor may be that the <br />underpass is not fully constructed or would need extensive work <br />and could be very expensive. <br />Mabusth noted it is the same size as the underpass to Watertown <br />Road. <br />Callahan noted he is not in favor of providing access for the <br />Wolf property through Orono, and he recalled this was covered <br />many times during negotiation. <br />9 <br />
