i\lhHl lNCiKELDON JANUARY21, 1997 (#8 - #2203 Ted Wolf - Continued) Schrocder asked if the reason for a loop road was for safety purposes. Mabusth said the concern was for safety and this pattern for development is recorded in the Comprehensive Plan. Schrocder asked if the outlot could be developed with a temporary cul-de-sac. Hilbelink said the applicant prefers the way the property access is currently laid out and does not propose to extend the cul-de-sac. Schrocder asked if an outlot could serve as a driveway. Mabusth said a 3-lol plat would require a private road. Mabusth questioned the loop drive that serv'es proposed Lot 1 and the requirement to maintain its use. Lindquist said ideally he would see all access off of the fiiture road outlot. McMillan noted the difiScuIty of installing the connectmg road outlots once development takes place. The roads should be installed prior to development or placed closer to the boundary of the developed site. Mabusth informed Schrocder that there were no standards for driveways. She informed him the access serving three units would have to be a private road. Lindquist noted the 50’ outlot would still be platted. Schrocder questioned whether there was enough land. Gronberg said there was 3.05 acres to the wetland area. He noted there would be a need for an "S" shape to hook up to the outlot. It was felt there would be adequate land. During public comments, Matthew Sanford, 945 Cox Farm Road, informed the Commission that the property owners of Shadowood were unanimously opposed to the use of Outlot B. He noted that one reason for the purchase of his property was because of the stunning maples located there. Schroeder informed him that it was not the intent of the Commission to have to cut down those trees. The Commission discussed the options for access. McMillan noted the need to have the additional information regardmg the wetland on Lot 3 in solving access from Willow Drive. Mabusth advised that the final resolution of the access issue is dependent on the number of residential units. Lindquist noted the need for assurance that there is enough dry buildable land for three lots. Applicant's representatives were informed that if there was a 3-lot subdivision, the 50' outlot must be a private road designed to connect with Outlot B of Shadowoods. The private road could be construaed with a temporary cul-de- sac. Mabusth inquired about septic testing. Gronberg informed her that the testing has been completed and all three lots have acceptable sites for septic systems. Schroeder said he would be inclined to plat a road outlot with a 30' corridor with a driveway. Concern was voiced that it would be difficult in the future to divide if the outlot was not plaited at 50'. A suggestion w'as made for a driveway installed within Outlot B that W'as specifically created as a connection corridor. Sariford asked that Outlot B be stipulated that no dri veway would be constructed off of it. His concerns were noted. J
