ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION Monday, May 15,2000 (#2587 Richard Rudd, Continued) to these properties, which is being addressed by the platting of this road. Weinberger stated the issue before the Planning Commission is whether the platting of this road within the development is appropriate. Smith commented that what is being proposed makes sense, noting she is sympathetic to the landowners that could potentially be landlocked unless easements are provided up to this new road. Weinberger stated the property owners would need to obtain private easements from the other property owners to gain driveway access. Smith noted that Lot 4545 would need to obtain an easement from Lot 4555. Weinberger stated they currently do have easements over a portion of that lot, but would be required to obtain additional easements all the way across to Town Line Road prior to the road construction. Smith commented that there appears to be a 20 foot easement already in place connecting to the new road. Slaughter stated there also is a 33 foot easement that exists. Weinberger stated there is documentation showing almost overlapping easements which would provide access back to the property as well. Weinberger stated there apparently is a cartway which exists in this area, which has never been legally recorded and was never used. Weinberger stated there Is a 33 foot easement from 1910 which could provide driveway access as well. Berg inquired what easement Slaughter intends to use, the cartway or the 33 foot easement. Slaughter stated she would use the easement along Town Line. Lindquist stated the Planning Commission is simply approving that section of road that is being proposed tonight and does not really have any jurisdiction to hear any other issues relating to easements or the railroad access. Smith commented that there appears to be some options for the property owners relating to access, but noted the Planning Commission is not in a position to hear those matters at this time. There were no further public comments regarding this application. Lindquist moved, Smith seconded, to recommend approval of Application #2587, 4575 Wayzata Boulevard. Subdivision for Platting a Public Road Adjacent to a Proposed Six Lot Plat Located in the City of Medina, subject to the seven conditions contained in the May 16, 2000 Planner's Report.
