ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR MARCH 15, 1999 <br /> • (#9) #2466 JAMES RENCKENS, HAVING AN INTEREST IN 3020 WATERTOWN ROAD, 2 LOT <br /> SUBDIVISION, 9:16 p.m. -10:27 p.m.—(continued) <br /> access to that one lot will be allowed off of Crystal Creek Road, then the preliminary and final <br /> plat resolutions for Crystal Creek need to be amended. Van Zomeren noted that if an <br /> easement is granted through the Crystal Creek subdivision, City Council needs to approve <br /> an amendment to the subdivision. <br /> Lindquist commented that it was his understanding Crystal Creek Road was a private road and that <br /> the City does not have the ability to grant access off of that road. <br /> Schroeder stated if access cannot be provided, then the subdivision will have to be denied. <br /> Lindquist remarked that without approval for the private road, the Planning Commission really has no <br /> other option but to consider what is being presented tonight, which is a flag lot. <br /> Hawn remarked that without knowing the exact location of the septic system, it is difficult to approve <br /> this application. <br /> Dwight Post stated he is intending to purchase the lot in front, and he is not sure why the <br /> northern outlot was not provided for in the first place by the Crystal Creek developer. Post remarked <br /> in his opinion there are a lot of issues that are not in compliance now and the developer should have <br /> been made to comply with the codes. <br /> Carlson commented he does not prefer the plan that is being proposed by Renckens, and the <br /> City needs to look at a long-range plan for ponding and roadways. <br /> 111 Winston remarked that the minutes reflect that the subdivider is responsible for access, and in his <br /> view the access to Carlson's northern property next to Highway 12 will ultimately come out to Crystal <br /> Bay Road. <br /> Carlson stated it is doubtful that a road will be able to be constructed along the northerly portion of <br /> the lot. <br /> Van Zomeren stated the septic site is 58 feet from the storm water management pond where the <br /> requirement is 75 feet, and 13 feet from the driveway where the requirement is 20 feet. The <br /> southwest corner of the septic site is approximately three feet from the property line. The driveway <br /> needs to be located ten feet from the Crystal Creek subdivision and ten feet from the front lot and <br /> be located in the middle of the lot,which would leave it 13 feet from the septic site. <br /> Post stated that Weckman had mentioned that the septic site could be slightly altered. <br /> Smith remarked that the septic site will need to be reviewed by City Staff. <br /> Gaffron stated the comprehensive plan and City's actions and policies are centered around <br /> corridors for future connection of roadways. Gaffron stated it has been City's Staffs view that it is <br /> good planning to place a roadway across the northern portion of this property and that the Planning <br /> Commission could mandate that as part of the approval process. <br /> Van Zomeren commented it is presently platted as a flag lot, and Orono's subdivision ordinance <br /> says that it should be platted as an outlot. The outlot access can be platted at 30 feet since it will <br /> serve as a driveway for potentially one or two residences. <br /> • <br /> Page 15 <br />
