i <br /> MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> 1V1E C 111V.J HELD Iii‘ FEBRUARY 1 !, 1770 <br /> _ <br /> (#7 #2341 Daniel Anderson - Continued) <br /> Gaffron reported that all lots meet the 2 acre requirement and width requirement at the <br /> snoiciine. LUIS 2 anu 3 are cui-de-sac lots. Wine they ale 100' anu i iu in defined width, <br /> the lots are rectangular in shape and functional. The lots are uniquely shaped but appear <br /> to be somewhat flexible without encroaching into septic dramtleld sites. Lot I is <br /> technically a through lot and will accommodate the existing house without the need for <br /> any setback variances. All other buildings on the property are intended to be removed <br /> resulting in Lots 2 through 7 becoming new building sites. Lots 4, 5, and 6 are Lakeshore <br /> lots and meet the 200' minimum width requirement. Lot n has an hourgiass shape that <br /> leaves a functional width of 165' at the proposed building site meeting side setback <br /> requirements. <br /> The road outlot has changed from the sketch plan. The proposal calls for a single private <br /> road with a wing to serve Lot 7. 'There will be only one access to the County road, which <br /> is satisfactory to the County. The County and City require that all other accesses to Old <br /> Crystal Bay Road be eliminated. <br /> The City Engineer reviewed the road layout. The horizontal curve for the private road at <br /> 125' radius does not meet the City's 275' standard for a 30 mph road. It would, however, <br /> meet it for a 20-25 mph posting, but this is usually not done for private roads. Revising <br /> • the road to meet the 275' radius would most likely impact the septic sites. <br /> A future trail from the Luce Line on the east side of Old Crystal Bay Road through French <br /> Creek Woods would not require trail dedication on this property. There would be a <br /> problem with lots 2 and 7 if the trail were to come on this west side of the road. The 6 <br /> new lots would be subject to park dedication. Hennepin County has asked for an <br /> additional 7' of right-of-way as they are of the opinion that provision for the trail should be <br /> made. The City would be consistent with past practice in not requiring the dedication of <br /> additional right-of-way for Old Crystal Bay Road. Gaffron noted that the proposed length <br /> of the road and cul-de-sac is about 700' and meets the length limitation. <br /> Gaffron indicated that the applicant is not proposing any stormwater ponding on site. The <br /> City Engineer has recommended that stormwater ponding be provided on site. Once <br /> ponds are developed, one or more lots may become smaller. <br /> Proposed grading is planned for Lot 6 to create a better walkout site. It will need revision <br /> to avoid encroachment of the bluff impact zone. Gaffron noted that grading must be <br /> limited to preserve the septic sites with the road being close by. Building plans for lots 5 <br /> and 6 require further review. <br /> Gaffron reported that there are no City utilities serving this part of the City. He also <br /> indicated that the applicant has agreed to a tree preservation easement to maintain the <br /> • significant woods on the property. <br /> 13 <br />
