• <br />MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON JULY 17, 1995 <br />SKETCH PLAN REVIEWS <br />( #11) #2035 MICHAEL HILBELINK, 2760 WATERTOWN ROAD - SKETCH <br />PLAN /SUBDIVISIONICONCEPTUAL REVIEW <br />Mabusth reported that the plan is for a 4 -lot subdivision of the former Rosch property at <br />the northeast quadrant of Old Crystal Bay Road and Watertown Road. The parcel is 9- <br />1/2 acres in size. Access for three lots is proposed via a private road and cul -de -sac. The <br />applicant is asking for lot 4 to be accessed from an existing driveway on Watertown Road. <br />Mabusth noted that during the review of the Peterman Addition to the immediate east, the <br />City did not seek access to this property. Access to this property would be resolved with <br />future division. The proposal recommends a cul -de -sac with a private road and a single <br />curb cut for lot 4 from the south. <br />Additional concern is also for the bike trail on the west side of the property. Conceptual <br />plans are for the septic to be located in this area. The Applicant met with Gerhardson and <br />Cook, who said the trail would run 500 -600' down the length of the property with a 15' <br />easement and cutting back to the road side of the trees. Mabusth said this should not <br />impact the septic site but noted the need for a 20' separation. <br />iMabusth commented on the design of road with a 60' wide road and 120' cul -de -sac. The <br />code asks for 50' wide road and 100' cul -de -sac. <br />Mabusth asked the Planning Commission for their views on additional curb cut. The <br />drainage issues need to be addressed also. A berm funnels water along Watertown Road. <br />A culvert built in 1987 was installed beneath existing access drive to lot 4. <br />The applicant commented that two old drain tiles were found on Lots 1 and 2 draining <br />from Goldenview to the east. Mabusth said this should be investigated further with the <br />review of this subdivision. <br />Lindquist commented that the access for Lot 4 seemed to be the logical choice but did <br />recommend the private road to be 50' wide with a 100' cul -de -sac. It was noted that there <br />is no problem with sight lines and distance for the 40 mph Watertown Road. <br />Mabusth said no action is required at this time and recommended the applicant proceed <br />with filing preliminary plans and need for complete septic testing and soil delineation <br />requirements. <br />13 <br />
