TO 9:00 P.M. <br />The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were <br />duly noted. <br />Several members of the McCulley Farm Homeowners* Association <br />were present. <br />Zoning Administrator Mabusth reviewed this application <br />saying that the request was for a cul-de-sac length variance. <br />The proposal is for a 1,600* cul-de-sac where the maximum <br />allowed is 1,000 ft. Mabusth said that McCulley Road was platted <br />and is on record showing the cul-de-sac. The City asked that a <br />future loop extension to McCulley Road be provided, but during <br />the final plat phase of the subdivialon application the developer <br />opted to go with a through road and the cul-de-sac was never <br />constructed. Eight of the 9 homeowners are requesting the cul— <br />dj-sac in order to eliminate the road from being used as a by­ <br />pass. The residents would like to blacktop th<i road but fear by <br />doing so traffic speeds would Increase. <br />Mr. Michael Pierce, 480 Deborah Drive, objects to the cul- <br />de-sac. He said that he had bought his property 7 years ago and <br />that the through road existed at that time. He preferred to exit <br />from the end of the road being proposed for cul—de—sac. He <br />believed that allowing the only access to be onto County Road 6 <br />to be a safety hazard. <br />A representative of the residents favoring the cul-de-sac <br />said that there would be no change in response time for the Maple <br />Plain Fire Department. The Orono Police indicated that the cul- <br />de-sac would only slightly increase response time. He said that <br />Lt. Cheswick has confirmed that Deborah Drive is being used as a <br />cut-off. He said that 7 of the 9 homes have children ranging in <br />age from 1 to 15 who use the road for bicycles, etc. Kelley <br />asked whether the 3 residents in favor had so indicated in <br />writing? The Representative answered negatively. Kelley <br />suggested that the residents go through the Homeowners' <br />Association prior to seeking approval from the City. He said <br />that the Homeowners' Association vote would carry weight when the <br />application was being considered by the Planning Commission and <br />Council.
