MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Tuesday, February 20, 2018 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />roadway will make it easier for fire trucks to access and will not increase the outlot size. In addition, the <br />road is in awesome shape. <br />Thiesse noted this is the first time the Planning Commission has heard any concerns about the road <br />remaining private. Thiesse stated in his view it is a good plan and that he likes the recommendation to <br />stagger the trees more. Thiesse stated he would also like the City Engineer to look at the road prior to it <br />going to the City Council to see whether it is a viable option. <br />Barnhart stated the City can always respond to requests to convert a private road to a public road and that <br />it does not need to be part of an application. Generally the City will look for the road to be built to city <br />standards and has been properly maintained. <br />Thiesse stated he would like the road to be looked at to ensure the road is in great shape. <br />Landgraver commented it is an interesting proposition and that there does not appear to be anything <br />precluding that at this time. Landgraver stated those three people could petition the City to make it a <br />public road if they so choose. <br />Barnhart stated they can petition for that at any time and that it does not need to be part of this <br />application. <br />Thiesse stated he has no intention of holding the application back but that he would suggest the City <br />Engineer look into it. <br />Landgraver stated if the City Council elects to make it a private road, then it becomes a moot point, but <br />that overall it is getting the road away from the lakeshore and relocating the utilities into a more easily <br />maintained and serviced area. Landgraver stated Lot 4 may not be the perfect size for the existing <br />residence but in his view it is a good faith effort to develop the site. Landgraver stated he is in support of <br />the application. <br />Leskinen moved, Landgraver seconded, to recommend approval of Application No. 18-3998, James <br />and Mary Jundt, 1400 Bracketts Point Road, vacation of the roadway and the sanitary sewer <br />easement, subject to the conditions outlined in Staffs Report.
