CITY OF ORONO <br />i <br />Street Address: I Mf ,ihn2 Address: i Toluc ne (9521 249-4600 <br />P 2750 Kelley Parkway P.O. Box 66 Fax .'952; 249-4616 <br />Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 , wtvw.ci.orono.mn.us <br />March 9, 2018 <br />Jim Koch VIA EMAIL <br />jim.kochemail@gmail.com <br />Mr. Koch, <br />I understand the conditions of Long Lake's approval of the Landings at Long Lake preliminary plat <br />included the city of Orono's approval of the driveway configuration preliminary plat approval. I note the <br />plat shows 4 new lots will share a driveway. I also note that this driveway is close to the intersection of <br />Old Long Lake Road and Wayzata Blvd. The Orono ordinances allow up to two residential parcels to <br />share a driveway approach. Unfortunately, the City cannot approve the access as shown. <br />Sec. 18-136. - Residential driveways, approaches and turnaround. <br />(a) One driveway approach shall be allowed from up to two single residential parcels of land to <br />the same road, provided that appropriate easements exist between parties sharing the driveway <br />and driveway approach. Parcels having frontage on more than one public road shall be allowed <br />a driveway approach to one public road. <br />This requirement is in part based on a desire to maintain safe and efficient access for properties and the <br />traveling public, provide space for, in this case, mailboxes, delivery services, and refuse receptacles away from <br />the Old Long Lake/ Wayzata Blvd intersection which already does not meet required spacing standards. City of <br />Orono concerns were outlined in an email dated February 1, 2018, attached. We will review a revised plan <br />showing a private drive serving the 4 lots created by the plat. Ideally, a private road providing access for all 7 <br />lots in the area would proposed. Orono city standards require a private road serving 3-6 units to include a paved <br />width of 24 feet. A road serving 7 or more lots requires a paved width of 28 feet. <br />Please feel free to contact me at 952.249.4626 or by email atjbarnhort@ci.orono.mn.us if you have any questions <br />on the above requirements. <br />Sincerely, <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />Jeremy Barnhart, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />Cc: Scott Weske, Long Lake City Administrator <br />Dustin Rief, Orono City Administrator <br />Dennis Walsh, Orono Mayor <br />
