ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR MAY 18, 1998 <br /> (#3 - #2372 Barry and Janiece Haglund - Continued) <br /> The applicant questioned whether North Arm Lane is public road. McMillan asked if a road has <br /> been maintained, is it deemed a public road. Gaffron stated that the City Attorney indicated the City <br /> has rights over the portion of road that has been used and maintained, but likely not over the entire <br /> width of the 33' privately owned corridor. <br /> Lindquist asked if the applicant would be willing to dedicate additional right-of-way for the road, <br /> and the applicant replied affirmatively. Gaffron said an additional easement or dedication would be <br /> needed for the cul-de-sac and additional area at the southeast corner of the property where the road <br /> intersects with North Arm Drive West. Gaffron noted there are no City plans to upgrade North Arm <br /> Lane at this time. McMillan asked if the City had any plan to provide access to the north. Gaffron <br /> said there is no formal plan,but it is likely that a future access road would be needed to the north and <br /> west. <br /> At this time there was a short recess for inclement weather. Commissioner Berg left the meeting. <br /> When the meeting resumed, Gaffron stated the size of the cul-de-sac would be 100' diameter, <br /> • centered on the 33' corridor. Only 8 1/2' additional right-of-way is needed along the east side of <br /> applicant's property. It was noted that at some point the City should probably obtain an easement <br /> from the Armstrong property, to solidify the City's rights to that road. <br /> The applicant asked that the application not be tabled due to the access issue but noted she <br /> understood the City Council has the final decision. Smith noted that other issues such as wetland <br /> delineation, storm water and drainage and park dedication would need to be addressed. The <br /> applicant said the potential purchaser may want a pond on the site. <br /> Jim Neilson, 340 North Arm Lane, asked about easements and Gaffron replied easements are <br /> generally required from a subdivider as needed,but the City has alternative ways to obtain easements <br /> absent a subdivision. <br /> Lindquist moved, Smith seconded,to recommend approval with appropriate conditions. Vote: Ayes <br /> 5,Nays 0. <br /> Gaffron advised this application would be scheduled for the first June Council meeting for <br /> preliminary plat approval. <br /> • 5 <br />
