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