MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 16, 1995 <br />0 <br />(# 15 - #2077 Replat and Vacation - Continued) <br />• <br />Schroeder said it would be an incentive for all to work out the details and suggested <br />tabling the review to allow the parties involved to meet. <br />Ken Rolland asked why the road needs to be a 50' width, which he felt was not practical. <br />Mabusth asked about the cul -de -sac and where it belongs on the roadway. Staff is coming <br />from the opinion that the cul -de -sac should be located at the true end of the roadway to <br />eliminate driveways coming off of the road in all directions. Rolland said if 50' were not <br />needed, there would be more negotiating room. Peterson said the amount was not set but <br />an idea on the what the width might be is necessary. <br />Rolland emphasized how treacherous the ravine was and considered it a liability. Mabusth <br />said it was appropriate to question whether the City would want to take an walking <br />easement to this ravine. <br />Ann Honmeyer asked how much property would be needed to be purchased from Bennett <br />if he would sell. Peterson said Staff could give directions regarding the amount. Mabusth <br />said the two other sketches could be reviewed not involving the cul -de -sac. Schroeder <br />asked the members to consider how that sketch would affect Bennetts subdivision plans. <br />Peterson said he would prefer the cul -de -sac be located at the end of the development. <br />Honmeyer added that may be no cul -de -sac is needed. Peterson said that was a possibility. <br />The applicants will attempt to meet together with the applicants of #2078 to discuss both <br />applications and how they would affect each other. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />( #16) REPORT BY PLANNING COMMISSION REPRESENTATIVE <br />ATTENDING COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 1995 <br />No member of the Planning Commission attended the October 9, 1995 meeting of the <br />Council. <br />( #17) OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION <br />It was noted that private driveways were discussed at a recent work session.
