MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, July 17, 2017 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />for direction from the Planning Commission. Dunkley stated they would like the three properties to have <br />access through the gate. <br />Leskinen asked if the road would then need to be 50 feet wide. <br />Curtis indicated the platted right-of-way would need to be 50 feet wide and the paved surface would be 24 <br />feet wide. <br />Thiesse stated if Lot 1 were served by Walters Port Lane, then the other two homes would not need a <br />private road. <br />Sue Dunkley stated the reason they are buying the other piece is to have the access come in the other way. <br />Dunkley stated the current entrance looks like the home is sitting in a back alley. <br />Thiesse stated the three homes is what triggers the need for the larger road. Thiesse noted the connection <br />will be gated but that emergency vehicles will have access without the need for a code. Thiesse <br />recommend they look at the radii of the angles. <br />Landgraver recommended the plan be further defined before it goes to the City Council. <br />Thiesse noted the Planning Commission has discussed No. 4 concerning the existing entrance monuments <br />and gate. Thiesse stated to his understanding Orono does not have any other gates that require a code. <br />Sue Dunkley indicated there would also be cameras on the gate so they would know who is there. <br />Dunkley stated Walters Port is also a private road. <br />Curtis noted there would still be underlying easements for access and utilities under the outlot for the <br />roadway. <br />Landgraver stated he has a preference for the way it is now since it will provide some exclusivity or a <br />barrier but that in his view a code might be going too far. <br />
