MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MARCH 27,1995 {U6 - Hillside Place Administrative Appeal - Continued) The access was addressed in the September, 1994, adopted resolution regarding a lot line rearrangement with then owmer, Jacci Segner. Hillside Place was designated as the access for the property in question along with one other property. Because of the driveway designation, only these two properties can use this access. Two other properties, 2260 Ba^'view and 3300 Navarre Lane, owned by Ray Pasch and Jacci Segner, were closed off from using Hillside Place so the Dahl property could obtain acess from Hillside. Segner sold the property to Dahl, who then applied to have access through Wallace Avenue Dahl reported that she was under the impression that the subdivision had to be solved first and the access addressed after the subdivision was finalized. \fs. Segner remarked at the meeting that this also was her understanding and said it was known during the subdivision that Dahl wished to use Wallace Avenue Neighbor, Clair Rood, supported Dahl's reasoning for access on Wallace Avenue. Rood stated Hillside Place access was 525 ’ long and the drainage ditch was a major obstacle to access the property. Dahl, Segner, and Rood all voiced their opinion that it was their understanding that the access could be changed once the lot line rearrangement was completed. Neighbor, Dale Mattson, 2200 Bayview Place, reported that W»5h~c Avenue comes within 8 ’ of his property and does not wish for Dahl’s property to gain access from Wallace Avenue. Ray Pasch of 3301 Navarre Lane reported that he has worked with Dahl throughout the process and was present when Dahl discussed with staff accessing her property through Wallace Avenue. Pasch reiterated hearing that the access needed to be addressed at a later time. Jabbour made it clear that it is the policy of the City to address the issue of access whenever subdivisions come before the Council and make determinations regarding access. This then eliminates any problems such as this from arising in the future. Goetten asked what the resolution stated regarding access. It was clarified through the lot line rearrangement agreement and resolution that Hillside Place was the designated access to the Dahl property. The agreement stated that access could be amended, changed, or terminated by written amendment to an alternate access of open public roadway if the City decided to have an alternate access other than Hillside. It was further clarified that the only use of Wallace Avenue at this time was the Mattson's. The Mattson's have four lots but one house, and there 5S only one buildable lot. Wallace Avenue is contiguous to the railroad right-of-way.
