* •• < Road Alignment Although curve data has not been submitted to indicate the design speed of the 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 Outlot 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 Outlot 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. 1 O' perimeter drainage and utility easements were dedicated for the entire property when the underlying Heathcrcroft 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 City of Orono. Park Dedication The Plaiming Commission should discuss the issue of Park Dedi :rtion. 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 undeveloped road from the Saga Hill Park. This provides the City of Orono the opportunity to determine if a land dedication would be appre riate. Any land to be dedicated as a requirement of this subdivision could be reasonably adaplv -.- for the public purpose of Saga Hill. The Code describes factors used in evaluating the adequacy c;' . .wd dedicated areas shall include size, shape, topography, drainage, geology, tree cover, access aai location. *2596 Brenshell Homes IISI Wildhurst Trail Class III Preliminary Subdivision Jun» 19,2000 paf-t
