Zoning File #1521 <br />May 15, 1990 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />The owner has asked that the existing access to the current <br />residence serve as temporary access during that period of <br />time. A permanent access is to be provided by the 25' <br />outlet along the northern border. The City will ask for <br />additional septic testing to confirm suitable area to the <br />south of existing septic test sites within Lot 1, Block 2. <br />(Review Exhibit G - note encroachment of road upon septic <br />test area.) <br />Please review Exhibits H and J. Cook's report asks that the <br />City consider taking a 25' driveway outlet along the <br />southern border of Lot 1, Block 1 providing access to the <br />Avery Stubbs property at the west boundary. This request <br />has been made in order to minimize the impact upon the <br />wetlands located at the midpoint of the Stubbs property. <br />This issue was not addressed by the Planning Commission at <br />the earlier review. <br />Please review Exhibits D and E. Based on the City <br />Attorney's opinion, the City has adopted Ordinance 77 <br />providing further clarification regarding the City's right <br />to allow adjacent land owners to achieve access via private <br />roads where the City has underlying easments. At the <br />Planning Commission's November meeting, we granted approval <br />of the 3-lot preliminary plat, specifically, recommending <br />that Wear Lane North and the extension of Wear Lane North be <br />defined as a public road to be maintained by the City of <br />Orono upon satisfactory completion of that roadway. In <br />light of recent directives received from both the Planning <br />Commission and Council at a joint meeting earlier this year <br />concerning private vs. public roads, members agreed to delay <br />on a policy change due to the potential financial burden <br />placed upon the City if the City was suddenly required to <br />accept all current private roadways for public maintenance. <br />The City Attorney opines that the City could require <br />existing private roads with underlying public easements to <br />be used by adjacent property owners for access and that <br />these roadways could remain private and maintained under <br />private covenants. <br />issues To Be Resolved For this Review <br />1. Access to Lot 2, Block 2 - <br />Permanent access shall be proposed via a 25' outlet along <br />the north corridor of Lot 1, Block 2. Applicant asked that <br />a temporary access be allowed via the exxe^inq driveway <br />serving the current residence. At the time lot la sold for <br />residential development the new access would Le via the <br />private driveway outlet. Is the temporary use of the
