ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 2000 <br />(#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) <br />the sewer come up from the south due to some of the concerns by the DNR of crossing the Luce Line <br />Trail with the sewer line. <br />Weinberger stated the original proposal had access to this subdivision off ot Brown Road, <br />ending in a cul-de-sac. with the private road servicing four lots. The City Engineer has <br />recommended the proposed access to the property be platted as part of the subdivision and <br />not by easement. He further recommends that the access to the site should meet a minimum <br />50 foot width to meet City roadway standards for a public or private street. The Applicant’s latest <br />proposal has the same road configuration and also contains the same four lots off of the <br />cul-de-sac. The lots located south of the private road have been revised to allow for larger lots. <br />Weinberger stated one issue of concern is the fact that access to the property is via a Tract G. <br />which is not owned by the Applicant. Staff is recommending the owner of Tract G become a <br />joint applicant and the corridor be replatted as part of the subdivision. The City Engineer and <br />Public Works Director have recommended the entire access corridor be platted 50 feet in width <br />to provide space for future utilities along the private road. Tract G should be In ownership of <br />the Homeowner's Association as they will be responsible for the maintenance. Weinberger <br />indicated a driveway easement has been granted many years ago to the current residence. <br />Weinberger stated It is unclear whether the driveway easement would entitle the developer to <br />utilize the road to service other properties. The Applicant has indicated that his Title Insurance <br />Company has verified that they will guarantee access to the seven lots. <br />Weinberger stated in 1977. Halstad Acres was developed to the south of the access, which Is <br />owned by Mr. Dunn. With that development, an easement was granted for roadway purposes <br />with the intent that some day access would need to be provided for this property. This issue <br />becomes a legal question over whether the driveway easement gives the Applicant the right to <br />construct a roadway to serve his development. <br />Weinberger noted the City Engineer has reveiwed the drainage and grading plan for the <br />subdivision and is requesting some modifications. The City Engineer at this time has some <br />concerns regarding the size of the holding ponds and wants to insure that this development will <br />not increase the runoff to the surrounding area. The developer will need to submit the requested <br />information for review and approval by City Staff. <br />Weinberger stated ‘his proposed subdivision is located immediately adjacent to Long Lake, with <br />the subdivision being serviced with sewer from an existing Long Lake sewer line. <br />The Applicant is requested to submit the following Information for review and approval prior to <br />a final plat application. <br />1. Detailed grading, drainage and erosion control shall be submitted for review as <br />requested by the City Engineer. <br />2. Final plans for sewer and water extension, including detailed sanitary sewer line profiles, <br />shall be approved by Staff prior to review. <br />3. The Metropolitan Council shall approve a MUSA expansion to the site. <br />4. A drainage area map, storm sewer and ponding calculations should be submitted for review <br />and approval by Staff. All ponds shall meet NURP standards. The ponds shown in the <br />Page 9 .
