ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Monday, May 15,2000 <br />k '-f <br />m <br />Currently the four lots located In Orono are all served by a shared driveway that has existed for some <br />time over the Burlington Railroad. Weinberger stated the road has operated In the past with a <br />license agreement between the railroad and the properties. Weinberger stated it is unclear whether <br />there has ever been legal access given to the property owners, which In essence means the <br />railroad could shut the access down If they so choose. Weinberger Indicated the railroad is not <br />proposing to shut the access down at this time, with an objective of Mn/DOT to eliminate direct <br />driveway access to Highway 12. <br />Weinberger staled the proposed road would provide driveway easements to the cu-de-sac, with two <br />lots to the north having access to the road via easements. This option would eliminate the access <br />over the railroad to Highway 12. Mn/DOT Is also proposing to dose the intersection between <br />Town Line Road and Highway 12 due to safety concerns, which has not been approved at this time. <br />Weinberger stated the proposed road would provide access to a proposed six lot plat In Medina <br />and to the four existing lots In Orono. The Medina property Is zoned for single family residential <br />use, which will be served by City sewer and water. No utilities will be extended to properties in <br />Orono. <br />Weinberger stated the City still needs the following information: <br />1. Final grading and erosion control plan set. <br />2. Stonmwater calculations for the drainage area that will drain towards the pond In Orono. <br />3. List of all easements that are recorded on the Rudd property. <br />4. Easement documentation Indicating legal access to the Slaughter and Hickey properties ovfer <br />the Fraizer property. <br />5. Final construction plans for the road. <br />6. Final plat drawing for recording the right-of-way. <br />7. Applicant shall dedicate to the City an easement for the NURP pond. <br />City Staff is recommending approval of the preliminary plans. <br />Rudd stated Weinberger has given a good summary of the issues involved In this application. <br />Page 12
