MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION iVLCd 11N^J rc,DiMjMJM I/, iyyo (#7 - #2341 Daniel Anderson - Continued) Gaffron reported that all lots meet the 2 acre requirement and width requirement at the siiuieiine. Lois 2 anil 5 aie cui-iie-sac iois. wiiiie liiey aie 100 aiui 1/0 in ileiuicu wlilih, the lots are rectangular in shape and functional. The lots are uniquely shaped but appear to be somewhat tiexibie without encroaching into septic draintieid sites Lot i is technically a through lot and will accommodate the existing house without the need for any setback variances. All other buildings on the property are intended to be removed resulting in Lots 2 through 7 becoming new building sites. Lots 4, 5, and 6 are lakeshore iois and meet the 200' minimum width requirement. Lot 6 has an hourgiass shape that leaves a functional width of 165' at the proposed building site meeting side setback requirements. The road outlot has changed from the sketch plan. The proposal calls for a single private road with a wing to serv’e Lot 7. There will be only one access to the County road, which is satisfactory to the County. The County and City require that all other accesses to Old Crystal Bay Road be eiiminaieu. The City Engineer reviewed the road layout. The horizontal curve for the private road at 125' radius does not meet the City's 275’ standard for a 30 mph road. It would, however, meet it for a 20-25 mph posting, but this is usually not done for private roads. Revising the road to meet the 275' radius would most likely impact the septic sites A future trail from the Luce Line on the east side of Old Crystal Bay Road through French Creek Woods would not require trail dedication on this property. There would be a problem with lots 2 and 7 if the trail were to come on this west side of the road. The 6 new lots would be subject to park dedication. Hennepin County has asked for an additional 7' of right-of-way as they are of the opinion that provision for the trail should be made The City would be consistent with past practice in not requiring the Jedication of additional right-of-way for Old Crystal Bay Road. Gaffron noted that the proposed length of the road and cul-de-sac is about 700' and meets the length limitation. Gaffrori.. aicated that the applicant is net proposing any stormwater ponding on site. TK: City Engineer has recommended that stormwater ponding be provided on site. Once ponds are developed, one or more lots may become smaller. Proposed grading is planned for Lot 6 to create a better walkout site. It will need revision to avoid encroachment of the bluff impact zone. Gaffron noted that grading must be limited to preserve the septic sites with the road being close by. Building plans for lots 5 and 6 require further review. Gaffron reported that there are no City utilities serving this part of the City. He also indicated that the applicant has agreed to a tree preservation easement to maintain the significant woods on the property.
