City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OFTHE CITY COUNCIL <br />MO 1412 <br />.T*‘ ■;^KCITY <br />■ ■>>- ■■ • • <br />ORor^o <br />i <br />17) In addition to the above traffic routes, an alternative <br />connection to Northern Avenue has been studied as a <br />traffic dispersing devise for both eastbound and westbound <br />traffic, and as a possible safety improvement/replacement <br />for the existing Northern Avenue/Blaine Avenue railroad <br />crossing. <br />18) Any future development within the study area will increase <br />the traffic volume on County Road 15 and on any other <br />connecting street. But since any development will be <br />residential, any new traffic will be residential in <br />character and thus compatible with traffic expected <br />within a residential neighborhood. <br />AND BE IT FURTHERMORE RESOLVED that the City Council of the <br />City of Orono hereby adopts the future street plan described below and <br />as indicated on attached Exhibit A as the plan to be implemented at <br />the time the Schlee, Tonka, Sohns and/or Batdorf property should be <br />subdivided or developed in the future: <br />A. It is the intent of the Council to provide for safe, <br />adequate streets sufficient to handle all traffic <br />that may be generated by future development in the <br />sf.udy area, including a street layout which will <br />provide multiple accesses to the area; which will <br />maximize use of an improved Blaine Avenue/County Road lb <br />intersection; which will minimize adverse traffic <br />flow through existing neighborhoods; and which will <br />minimize the number of intersections and conflicting <br />traffic movements on County Road 15. <br />B. It is the intent of the Council to limit direct <br />intersections or curb cuts onto County Road 15 to <br />only the one proposed public street intersection <br />and no individual curb cuts between the western <br />edge of the Batdorf property and Blaine Avenue. <br />C. It is the intent of the Council that all vehicular <br />access to the properties or development within the <br />study area will be only from the proposed internal <br />streets and will not be allowed to have any direct <br />access or curb cut to County Road 15. This shall <br />not preclude the design of additional internal <br />streets or driveways intersecting solely with the <br />proposed streets as shown on Exhibit A. <br />page 5 of 8
