Road Alignment ... Although curve data has not been submitted to indicate the design speed of tlie intersection, it appears the road would not meet the standards for speed. It would be more appropriate to have a T intersection and cul-de-sac Garden Lane rather than have one continuous road ending in a cul-de-sac. Access to lots north of the Development The road is proposed to end at the intersection of Outlet A. There is one lot north of the development that is one acre in size that could be developed sometime in the future. The only access is via Garden Lane. A road ending at Outlet A will not allow ideal access for this property, but would be better than a private drive the entire length of Garden Lane to Tonkaview Lane. Easements/Covenants 1.Standard drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated 5' in width along interior lot lines. 10 ’ perimeter drainage and utility easements were dedicated for the entire property when the underlying Heathercroft Addition was recorded. 2.An easement and maintenance agreement shall be recorded for the NURP pond. 3. 4. 5. Drainage easements shall protect all drainageways, including the ravine areas. A preservation easement should be granted over the east portion of Lots 2 and 3 to protect the trees. The trees are located on the side and top of a hill. Saving the trees would protect the hillside from erosion and preserve the natural features as a buffer between the new lots and Wildhurst. If Outlot A should be a private road, an easement for egress should be granted in favor of the Citv of Orono. Park Dedication The Planning Commission should discuss th; issue of Park Dedication. Section 11.62 of the Subdivision Ordinance states “The form of contribution (cash or land, or any combination thereof) shall be decided by the City Council based upon the need and conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.” Dedication requirement of 8% of the land being platted or subdivided. The property is located across an unde''eloped road from the Saga Hill Park. This provides the City of Orono the opportunity to determine if a land dedication would be appropriate. Any land to be dedicated as a requirement of this subdivision could be reasonably adaptable for the public purpose of Saga Hill. The Code describes factors used in evaluating the adequacy of proposed dedicated areas shall include size, shape, topography, drainage, geology, tree cover, access and location. #2596 Brenshell Homes 1181 Wildhurst Trail Class III Preliminary Subdivision June 19. 2000 page~(
