MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON JUNE 17, 1996 <br />• <br />( #1 - #2139 Thomas Betz - Continued) <br />Peterson clarified that the neighbors are in favor of the vacation but ask the City to <br />address the drainage concerns within the opportunity presented. The neighbors also want <br />to be assured that the City retain the easement. <br />Betz said it is his attempt to improve the lot as the driveway is now rocky. Betz said he <br />has never seen the culvert underwater noting the water is traveling the same way as it did <br />before the drain tiling was done. Betz said he understood the condition for the easement. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Peterson noted that the City Engineer would review the drainage concern. <br />Smith asked what would occur if the Engineer sees a problem with the drainage issue. <br />Mabusth said if the Engineer sees any problem or a need to retain the right -of -way, the <br />application would come back before the Planning Commission. <br />Lindquist moved, Smith seconded, to approve the vacation petition of Thomas Betz for <br />the vacation of a portion of unimproved Hill Street located adjacent to properties located <br />at 290 and 300 Crestview Avenue. Approval of the vacation petition is subject to <br />• property owners granting a 10' drainage and utility easement within the vacated right -of- <br />way. The location of the easement is to be determined by benefiting property owners and <br />City Engineer. The vacation petition will be presented to Council as soon as Staff receives <br />confirmation from applicant's surveyor regarding location of any existing utilities within <br />unimproved right -of -way. <br />Schroeder asked if 10' for drainage easement was enough. Mabusth said the Engineer <br />would make that determination. Lindquist amended his motion to grant an appropriate <br />drainage easement, deleting the 10' amount.
