WHEREAS, at\er due standing and consideration, the Planning Commission recommended appro%al of the requested right-of-way vacation and utility easement %acation and the Council of the Cit>’ of Orono finds that said vacations, as proposed, arc in keeping with the public interest in consideration of the following findings: 1.The applicants concurrently propose a replat of Lots 1 through 4 Dicon Addition, incorporating the portion of Scotch Pine Lane to be vacated. The replat will result in three lots. Prop«ised Lots I and 2 vs ill gain access to North Shore Drive via a shared driveway located within a proposed outlol at the current location of Scotch Pine Lane. Proposed Lot 3 will no longer gain access from Scotch Pine Lane but will create a new driveway access directly on to North Shore Drive approximately 200' east of the existing Scotch Pine Lane intersection. The applicants are the only property owners which both abut the right-of-way of Scotch Pine Lane and which use said right-ofway for access to their properties. As a result of the replat. none of the applicants will require a dedicated right-of-way for access to North Shore Drive. 3.The concurrent vacation of Scotch Pine Lane and all of the utility easements originally dedicated within the Dicon Addition, requires rededication of new utility easements for existing and future utility lines, which the applicants have aereed to dedicate. 4.In a letter dated November 21, 1W5.
