#2466 Renckens & Winston <br /> May 21, 1999 <br /> Page 8 <br /> ORONO'S ROADWAY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (Excerpts from descriptions of <br /> various types of roadways) P. 7-16, 7-17: <br /> Private Road: <br /> Maximum Service: Approximately 10 residential properties <br /> Dead-end: Length will be limited by public safety considerations <br /> Private Drivewav <br /> Maximum Service: 1 residence typical;joint driveways allowed with maximum three <br /> residents per driveway in rural areas; more users require private road <br /> standards <br /> Driveway width: Will be regulated where more than one user is involved or for <br /> public safety purposes where there is excessive length between the residence <br /> and the public road <br /> In the opinion of staff, the above CMP excerpts strongly support the premise that Crystal Creek <br /> Road should be continued eastward to eventually connect with other area roads, for public safety <br /> purposes as well as for future efficiency of maintenance if the private road is someday converted to <br /> a public road. <br /> Whether or not the 50' outlot is required, access for the north lot should come from Crystal Creek <br /> Road(as now proposed)to avoid the need for an excessively long driveway. Further, staff strongly <br /> urges that the flag portion of the back lot be platted as a 30'outlot corridor for the following reasons: <br /> 1. Preserves the integrity of the back-lot/front-lot ordinance. <br /> 2. Preserves the appropriate setbacks for the north lot(i.e. the south east-west line of the north <br /> lot becomes a front lot line as the code intended) <br /> In staffs opinion the loss of acreage to a code-required 30' driveway outlot is not a hardship. <br /> Further, if the north lot is served from a 50'road to the north,there will be ample acreage to do a lot <br /> split with both lots having 200 feet of frontage on that road. The problem here is that Renckens' <br /> vision of future development of the north lot is to place the initial residence in a location making a <br /> side-by-side split impossible,and ultimately splitting off the south half of the north lot as a flag lot <br /> using the 30' corridor to Watertown for access (but needing a lot area variance to do so). <br /> Access to Outlot B, Crystal Creek <br /> Alan Carlson,original developer of the adjacent Crystal Creek subdivision, owns Outlot B, Crystal <br /> Creek,which does not abut any public or private roadway. The City has no apparent legal obligation <br />
