• «• • <br />;‘.‘r <br />r ‘ <br />y <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />Monday, May IS, 2000 <br />Jane Slaughter, 4545 Wayzala Boulevard, stated she Is In favor of the road but would like to see <br />the road extended somewhat. Slaughter stated she will need to maintain a longer driveway with <br />her neighbor, but is still in favor of the road. <br />Slaughter stated the railroad Is required to give a 30 day notice if they intend to dose that access, <br />which causes some concern because her property would then become legally landlocked if that <br />access is denied. Slaughter commented she has been turned down by 13 title companies because <br />the lease agreement is not legally recognized. <br />Weinberger stated these lots do not have direct access to what would be considered a public road. <br />and without the access across the railroad, there is no way to guarantee iong-term access to the <br />properties. Representatives on behalf of the railroad have indicated they are not in favor of <br />providing a permanent easement to open this up as a public entrance due to safety and maintenance <br />issues. Weinberger acknowledged this access does potentially create a hardship for the neighbors <br />in that their properties could eventually become landlocked unless some other access Is provided. <br />Weinberger stated the railroad has indicated they are willing to leave this access open until another <br />access is provided. <br />Weinberger stated it is not the objective of the Planning Commission to discuss long-term access <br />to these properties, which is being addressed by the platting of this road. Wtinberger stated the <br />Issue before the Planning Commission is whether the platting of this road within the development <br />is appropriate. <br />Smith commented that what is being proposed makes sense, noting she is sympathetic to the , <br />landowners that could potentially be landlocked unless easements are provided up to this new road. <br />Weinberger stated the property owners would need to obtain private easements from the other <br />access.property owners to gain driveway <br />Smith noted that Lot 4545 would need to obtain an easement from Lot 4555. <br />Weinberger stated they currently do have easements over a portion of that lot, but would be required <br />to obtain additional easements all the way across to Town Line Road prior to the road construction. <br />Page 13
