MINiriXS OF THE KIXnJLAR ORONO CTTY COUNm MirinTNC HELD ON JUNE 23,1997 FBnl s»aid he does not understand how the plan would solve the problem Staff expressed nsardii« a connecdon to West Branch Road. Flint said there would still be no accew. Gaflfron said a future potential expansion would be present. As proposed, there would now be a 7/8th mile bng roadway from Wildhiust requiring a secondary ouUet. FImt said the road would be near CoRd 19 and West Branch Road. He could not approve a p^ increasing the amount of additional traffic to Wildhurst and the cul-de-sac that would be caused by the development and chan^g the overall look of the area. Flin^uesUoned how a PRD could be approved without this problem of access solved. Gaffion mdicat^ that a possible consideration could be access to Kghview. The appUcant is providing for future potential access expansion. Gaffion said he previously posed many ot these same questions to the applicant. Flint noting the configuration of the properties questioned the division of the \ an Sloun property with access through existing West Branch Road. Gaffion said that access was intended to serve only one house on that property due to the number of other homes located off of this potential private road. Flint also noted the DNR grant application made on the SoUner property. Jabbour indicated that this was a moot pomt. Flint indicated the Morgart property could be accessed from Wildhurst Trail. These examples according to Flint show that there are other options for development. Gaffion said many discussions regarding access to these properties have been held over the past year. He noted the high cost of providing access to tlie Soliner property trom the north. Flint said this option would provide access without overriding the City ordinance and eliminate impacts on the neighborhood. Watets noted that another alternative would be to develop Garden Lane. Jabbour informed Waters that it would be the responsibility of the developer to make the improvements to the roadway and maintain the road as a private road. Gaffion noted that the SoUner property is in one acre zoning and the responsibility of the developer to provide road development. He said Waters expects to subdivide the SoUner property. Jabbour indicated that even if the Council would decide to change the sewer poli^, t ey would request maintaining the two-acre density. Waters asked if a proposal with sewering of two-acre parcels is viable. Jabbour said he was not suggesting that.
