Zoning File #1957 August 9, 1994 Page 2 The subdivision results in two conforming lots. The major issue for the review of this subdivision is the issue of access to the two new building sites via Hillside Place an unimproved platted right-of-way at 25'. Review Exhibit K, the unimproved right-of-way currently serves 3300 Navarre Lane as the primary access to the property and as a secondary access for 2260 Bayview Place. If roadway is to remain as a driveway based on the criteria set forth in Section 11.33, Subd. 4 of the subdivision regulation, total number of users of this roadway must be limited to two. Review Exhibits I and J, the applicant's realtor and potential buyer of Lots B and D were notified earlier this year of the requirements of the code regarding the use of Hillside Place as a private driveway. The applicant who resides at 2260 Bayview Place and who owns the residence at 3300 Navarre Lane has agreed to eliminate the use of both accesses at Hillside Place. Review Exhibit L, the survey of 2260 Bayview Place, reveals adequate area for Ms. Segner to achieve access to the lower level garage within the existing rear yard. Upon your site inspection, note the location of the detached garage at 3300 Navarre itawe. There is adequate siting distance for the relocation of an access drive to this property ill be necessary to trim back on the existing vegetation to provide safe access at the intersection. It would also be beneficial for Ms. Segner to trim back on the landscaping adjacent to Hillside Place to improve siting at that intersection. Refer Exhibit D, Gustafson recommends two options concerning access to the property. He recommends that either the existing driveways be relocated or to upgrade 25' Hillside Place to a minimum 24' paved roadway serving the four units. Given the limited right-of-way and the known desire of the applicant, staff would recommend that we agree to allow the applicant to relocate accesses as noted above. Ms. Segner must first contact the Public Works Director prior to installing new driveway at 3300 Navarre Lane. As for 2260 Bayview Place, the engineer recommends fencing or landscaping. Staff members advised of a need to provide not only fencing but berming as fencing can always be removed. Applicant may also have the option of planting trees behind the fencing as another means of providing permanent barrier. The property has been assessed for sewer and two stubs have been provided at Lots 45 and 47, refer to Exhibit H. Municipal water is not available to the site and applicant is given the option of either extending municipal water or installing on-site wells. It is staff's understanding that both applicant and applicant's prospective buyers would prefer to install on-site wells. Refer to Exhibit H, municipal water is located at the intersection of Hillside Place and Navarre Lane. There is nothing in the Orono code that requires a connection to municipal water when the lines are not immediately adjacent to the properties to be served. Per the current Orono fee schedule the future owners will be responsible for payment of $225 per unit charge for each sewer connection in addition to an $800 SAC fee (1994 fee schedule) to be paid to the MWCC.
