V' mi XEGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, SEPTEMBER 26, 1983.PAGE 8Mayor Butler noted that he is asking for five curb cuts on Watertown Road with shared driveways. Councilmember Adams stated that he sees a gross assumption that all platted lots can use existing roads which is contrary to the rural planning concepts. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that rather than relying on long cul de sacs the developer could have through roads in the plat. Mabusth stated that now is the time to address the road issue because later the City may have no say in the issue. Richard Conry stated that if he was asked to change the plan that he would still come back with the same plan. Conry noted that this may be the last part of the staging plat anyway. Councilmember Adams stated that if the City took over all private roads and made them City roads it would be a big project. Mayor Butler stated that there must be a different plan with either a cul de sac or a through road so that some more lots can be picked up internally rather than relying on City roads. Councilmember Adams agreed and stated that the developer is trying to rely on City streets and that is contrary to all of the rural concepts in the past. Councilmember Frahm asked how feasible shared driveways are. Frahm noted that in the future the property owner may wish to have his/her own driveway and petition for another curb cut. Richard Conry stated that they spent 4-5 months on getting the right plan and that they felt this one was the right plan. Conry noted that they have followed every rule required by the City. Conry noted that the City Engineer did approve of this plan. Councilmember Frahm stated that if the City approved this plat that they would be setting a precedent for future developers. Richard Conry stated that he is not the owner and that J he doesn't have that much control over the property.^^ City Attorney noted that Conry's sister appears to be the controlling owner and should have signed the application.*
