TO: FROM: DATE: Mayor Callahan and Orono Councilmcmbcrs Ron Moorsc. City Administrator Jeanne A. Mabusth. Ruildinp & Zoning Administrator September 23. 1993 .A SUB.FECT: #1872 Orono Woodlands. Inc. - Paul Phillips, 2100/2140 Sixth Avenue North - Vacation of Drainage & Utility Easements - Resolution The applicant filed a subdivision application for a lot line rearrangement, reviewed by the Planning Commission at their August meeting (#1851). The existing septic system serving the Orono Woodlands Inc., is failing and it has been determined that there was no other ‘unable area to develop an on-site septic system. Mr. Phillips both owner of the homestead parcel immediately adjacent on the west side and of Orono Woodlands Inc., has agreed agree to provide additional area in the south yard for development of a septic site. In exchange. Mr. Phillips will acquire additional area along the northern portions of the Orono Wcxxllands property. 'Fhe applicant has been advised by the surveyor to plat the proposed lot line rearrangemetit because of the complexities of the legal descriptions and of the need to vacate easements along the current shared lot line. The lot line rearrangement was unanimously approved by the Planning Commission with the condition that applicant file a vacation application for review at the September meeting so that the plat of the lot line rearrangement could be presented for Council’s action in October. The plat will designate and dedicate new drainage and utilities easement upon completion of the vacation as proposed in the current application. Tlie real issue at this stage is the ability to install a new septic system before colder weather sets in. Normally the City would await the final completion of the plat but because of the need to move as fast as possible staff suggested that applicant be allowed to commence the installation of the septic sy.stem upon the formal approval by Council of the vacation of the easement, fhe applicant is most anxious to complete the subdivision and is even more anxious to get the septic system installed for the Orono Woodland Homes. fhe Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval of the vacation and also w requested that applicant be allowed to install septic system prior to plat approval. fhe enclosed resolution .ipproving the vacation has been drafted per the Planning Commissions recommendation.
