7 ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR APRIL 12, 1999 <br /> (#9) #2466 James Renckens, having an interest in 3020 Watertown Road- Continued <br /> i <br /> Flint asked how the developers could prevent him from gaining access from the road since it <br /> abuts hisro e <br /> P p rty � I. <br /> Renckens said they can prevent it because it's a private road. <br /> Ij <br /> Flint asked how the City would accomplish the long-range plan if it's a private road. <br /> Renckens said the City would have to acquire the road from the Crystal Creek Development, <br /> pay for the cost of installing the road across the northern part of his property and would have <br /> to acquire additional land if the road were to continue to the east and pay for the cost of <br /> constructing that additional road until it connects with a public road. Renckens said previous <br /> applications for subdivision of this parcel had different intent for the property than he does. <br /> His intended use of the property is to build a home on the northern part of the property so it is <br /> secluded. <br /> Kelley said he was involved in the Crystal Creek subdivision and there is no doubt that the <br /> City Council and the Planning Commission always viewed that Crystal Creek Road and Wear <br /> Lane would connect. He said another issue involved is the property to the east and north that <br /> will someday be developed. <br /> Sansevere also questioned how the City would connect with a private road. <br /> Barrett said it is a private road. When the road was developed,the City took a public <br /> easement so that if the developers refuse access,the City can open the road for the public. <br /> Flint asked if the City could assure Mr.Renckens access to the back of his property through <br /> Crystal Creek. <br /> Barrett said that by declaring the public easement open,the City could grant access to the <br /> public over that road to the northern end of the property. <br /> Flint said that Crystal Creek is the logical access to the back of the property and he is not <br /> convinced that Mr. Renckens should have to provide the access to the east and north. <br /> Barrett said that with this application,the City has a strong right to the outlot. <br /> Flint said that there are a number of people with common interests and if they could work <br /> something out,perhaps the City wouldn't have to take the 50' outlot. <br /> Carlson said he does not own Lots 6 and 7. <br /> Winston said that it's true that Mr. Carlson does not own Lots 6 and 7. He said that when Mr. <br /> Carlson was able to create Lots 6 and 7 and not have the septic sites on those two lots taken <br /> Page 11 <br />
