MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINt <br />HELD AUGUST 16, 1993 <br />(#1) /!^I780 CITY OF ORONO <br />1000 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION <br />PUBLIC HEARING 7:32 TO 7:50 P.M. <br />The Atfidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were noted. <br />Mabusth explained the property is served by a private drive and a 4 ^/2 acre residential lot is <br />proposed and a large outloi for future pa'k. development. A MWCC lift s’ation has existed there <br />for years. Sewer is available to this property. There is one septic site \/hich could support a <br />four bedroom home with no alternate site. It is recommended that the property be sewered <br />which necessitates the comp plan amendment to be addressed later in the meeting. No change <br />will be m *de in the driveway status. We are still at one residential unit ar/1 c/en though the <br />property could be subdivided into tw'o residential units, it will not trigger any road upgrade. <br />The upgrade of the : nad depends upon the actual use for the propt>sed park. <br />Nolan asked how the park would be accessed. <br />Mabusth responded there will be a 50’ corridor to allow access, parking areas for vehicles and <br />an access path. Two beautiful trees will be saved. We will have adequate width access for <br />maintenance vehicles to enter northern parts of property. <br />Chair Schroeder inquired about signage for the park and if the park and lot share a common <br />driveway. <br />Mabusth explained that signage w:!t be developed at the time the park is to be developed. One <br />issue will be who is to provide mainte:iance. Currently the City provides access to the MWCC <br />facility but now the City no longer has an active use in the property. <br />Smith asked about easements and felt that the trees should not be touched nor the creation of <br />new' roads. <br />Mabusth said there is an existing easement that already serves the MWCC lilt station area. Ihe <br />City will have to grant an access easement to the residential lot owner as City will retain <br />ownership of outlot. The drainage way will be at a minimum 15' width easement which will <br />be defined w’ithin the residential lot. The wetlands at southwest corner w'ill be established and <br />designated on the final plat. <br />Chair Schroeder asked it llie future owner intends to subdivide the property into two lots. <br />3
