L'* <br />3 <br />MEMO <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />TO:Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commission <br />FROM: Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator/Planner <br />DATE:January 14,2000 <br />SUBJECT: Access to Property <br />Previously we had discussed a 20 acre site located at 120 South Brown Road that is proposed for <br />subdivision by Charles Van Eeckhout. The primary issue concerning the site is legal access. The <br />property has no direct access to a public road. Mr. Van Eeckhout has stated he was granted an <br />easement for road purposes over a 40' corridor legally described as Tract G of RSL No. 1022 (PID <br /># 03-117-23 12 0004) which is not owned by Mr. Van Eeckhout. The property is owned by John <br />Dunn. The City has confirmed an easement for driveway purposes has been granted in favor of Mr. <br />Van Eeckhout over Tract G, but we have not located any easements for roadway purposes. <br />A second easement was dedicated to the City of Orono over a lot located at 130 South Brown Road <br />for road and utility purposes. I have been in contact with the Recorder’s Office and believe the <br />Document No. for this easement to be 4348630. The easement was dedicated on the Plat of <br />Kallestad Acres over the north portion of Lot 1, Block 1. <br />A second issue with access to the property is whether Tract G must be replatted, or if an easement <br />does exist for access is that sufficient for private road construction? The private road within Tract <br />G would be owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association, but the corridor is owned by <br />Mr. Dunn. <br />The City of Orono is researching to determine if the proposed road arrangement is legal. I have <br />included the Staff report without detailed discussion regarding legal access to the property. This <br />information should be available for the meeting on Wednesday evening.
