* ^ <br />^ i-A <br />‘rT <br />I <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />AUGUST 21,2000 <br />John Dunn. The Applicant has indicated he is unable at this time to obtain a roadway easement to <br />access Brown Road and has submitted a new plan that requests access to the lots from Apple Glen <br />Road, which is a public road owned and controlled by the City of Long Lake. Weinberger noted <br />the Applicant has requested Long Lake grant road access from Apple Glen as well as connection <br />to sewer. The City of Long Lake is requesting the City of Orono review this plan prior to their <br />review. <br />Weinberger stated the revised plan shows Apple Glen Road being extended, with another road <br />with two cul-de-sacs on the north side to serve those four lots. <br />Weinberger indicated the Applicant has completed the additional soil borings necessary to <br />determine the total dry buildable area of the property. The wetlands in this area have been <br />re-evaluated and it has been determined that two wetland areas originally identified as wetland <br />should not have been, w'ith the total land designated as wetland on this property consisting of <br />6.05 acres. This results in a total dry buildable area of 14.1 acres. Weinberger noted the two acre <br />zoning of the property would allow a ma.\imum of seven lots based on one residential unit per <br />two acres should the PRD be approved. <br />Weinberger stated the second issue was to secure access to this property, which is not currently <br />resolved. <br />Weinberger stated in order for this subdivision to be approved, a conditional use permit for a <br />Planned Residential Development needs to be approved, which would allow the property to be <br />developed at a two acre density using cluster development and preservation space. Weinberger <br />noted a road width variance and a variance to allow the road to be developed at less than the <br />minimum requirements is requested, with the Applicant requesting to construct a 24 foot roadway, <br />Weinberger noted City Code requires a minimum paved width for roadways serving <br />seven or more sites to be constructed at 28 feet, with Apple Glen Road being 26 feet wide. <br />PAGES
