ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 1999 <br /> • (#2) #2449 JOHN VOGT/MIKE HILBELINK, HAVING AN INTEREST IN 3020 WATERTOWN ROAD <br /> - Continued <br /> Van Zomeren said that the primary issue for staff is the access to the back two lots. This is also an <br /> issue to the neighbors. She said that staff recommends that a 50'outlot be platted across the northern <br /> end of the parcel and that the temporary cul-de-sac in Crystal Creek be eliminated and a new <br /> temporary cul-de-sac be created to serve the proposed two new lots, Lot 7 in Crystal Creek, and the <br /> outlot owned by Kingsbridge Properties. <br /> Mike Hilbelink and John Vogt were present. They stated they did not receive their copies of the staff <br /> report until today. Hilbelink stated they are not proposing to extend the cul-de-sac for access. They <br /> would prefer a private drive. He stated there is room to make sure there are three acres in both of the <br /> rear lots. He said they have no desire to connect Crystal Creek Road to Wear Lane. He stated that <br /> most or all of the accessory buildings will be removed. Hilbelink stated he has talked to Mr. Stubbs <br /> and there is a possibility of one or two buildable lots on his property. Extension of Wear Lane to <br /> Crystal Creek would destroy that possibility. <br /> Chair Smith noted that three letters were received regarding the proposal: <br /> Steven &Anne Kahler, 35 Crystal Creek Road, dated January 15, 1999 <br /> Michael & Gayle Sievert, 85 Wear Ln. N., dated January 18, 1999 <br /> Richard &Joan Scorza, 2850 Wear Circle, dated January 20, 1999 <br /> John Winston, 155 Wear Lane, stated he is concerned about the linkage of Wear Lane to Crystal <br /> Creek Road and he does not want to see that happen. He said that he and his neighbors do not object <br /> to the subdivision, they are not in favor of linking Wear Lane to Crystal Creek Road. <br /> IIIHugh Hoffman,40 Wear Lane North, stated that he agrees with Mr. Winston. <br /> Steve Alseth, 3385 Watertown Road, questioned the number of lots. <br /> Van Zomeren clarified that this would be a three-lot subdivision. <br /> Rick Carlson, Jyland Development, stated he has purchased an option on the remaining lots in Crystal <br /> Creek. He supports access through Crystal Creek, but he is not in favor of a through-road to Wear <br /> Lane and he does not support a public road. He said that Outlot B is now considered unbuildable. He <br /> opposes the 50'easement on the north to provide access creating a flag lot. He is also concerned <br /> about the cost for the private road. There has not been any discussion regarding these new lots <br /> contributing to the cost of Crystal Creek Road. <br /> Smith asked for Rick Carlson's opinion on connecting Crystal Creek Road to Wear Lane. <br /> Carlson said he feels two more lots on the private road would not be a problem because Crystal <br /> Creek Road was constructed to public road standards. He said there would be no gain to Orono in <br /> making it a public road. <br /> Mark Supalla, 160 Wear Lane, complimented John Vogt on the project and said that he supports the <br /> subdivision. <br /> Alan Carlson stated that he developed the area of Crystal Creek. He said that he has no objection to <br /> the subdivision provided the applicants give up the easement over the north lot to Outlot B. He said <br /> that when he developed Crystal Creek, the easement was for access to four lots that he has already <br /> had approved. The cul-de-sac was supposed to be temporary until the road was extended to Outlot B. <br /> IIIHe wants a road developed that would provide access to his lots. <br /> Page 5 <br />
