CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File LA18-000012. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. 2. The Stipakov Property and the Outlot are located in the RR -1 B Rural Residential Zoning District. 3. To serve 3 or more properties, City Code requires a 50 -foot wide private road outlot with a 100 -foot cul-de-sac "bulb" at its termination. 4. The Outlot was platted as a 50 -foot wide corridor; no cul-de-sac "bulb" was required to be platted at the Outlot's termination. 5.
