MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETEING Monday,MAY 13,2019 7:00 o'clock p.m. Barnhart indicated they would need to create a new outlot within the plat to extend the existing outlot and that there might be some modification to the property lines. Bollis stated in his view it would require a variance from the Watershed and that it could be avoided by using the hammerhead. Printup commented there appears to be a couple of different options and that perhaps the applicant could come up with a couple of different options the City Engineer could review. Barnhart noted this is preliminary plat and that there will be a final plat. The Planning Commission will not see the final plat. The City Council could provide direction to the applicant asking him to address that question,they could send it back to the Planning Commission, or they could direct the applicant to design a cul-de-sac that meets the requirements. City Attorney Mattick stated while it is called a preliminary plat, it is best to have a firm hand on what is being proposed as opposed to being unsure what concept will ultimately be decided upon. Walsh commented he would be comfortable with a cul-de-sac solution that Staff supports. Bollis indicated he is happy to include a cul-de-sac if it fits. Barnhart recommended the application be tabled until the cul-de-sac issue is resolved. Printup moved,Crosby seconded,to table Application No.LA19-000018,Chris and Rachel Bollis, 350 Stubbs Bay Road North. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. 26. LA19-000092—WILLIAM AND SUE DUNKLEY,PENCE LANE ADDITION VIOLATION Curtis stated the final plat approval for the Pence Lake Addition was granted by the City Council in November 2018,which was recorded with Hennepin County in February 2019. According to Conditions 4 and 6 on Page 3 of the final plat resolution, access to or from Lot 1 over Lot 2 is prohibited. The prohibition was effective the date of the plat recording. The Code allows two properties to share a common driveway. A third property accessing a private driveway is not permitted since the third driveway triggers the need for a private platted road. The developer has stated their desire to enter the property over the Pence Lane roadway on a number of occasions. Therefore,with this plat,a condition was placed in the resolution prohibiting access to or from Lot 1 over Lot 2. The prohibition became effective on the date of the plat recording. Staff has received a number of complaints regarding construction traffic serving Lot 1 over Lot 2. In response, Staff sent a letter on March 25 reminding the property owners of the prohibition and the plat conditions of approval. Additional complaints were received resulting in a letter being sent dated April 24 and the scheduling of this meeting to discuss a solution or revocation of the plat. At this time Staff is seeking guidance on the best way to address this issue. Page 8 of 21
