and because the 125’ radius allows a design speed of 20-25 mph which is not <br />inappropriate for this length road. The variance is further justified in order to <br />protect drainfield sites which would otherwise be eliminated if the road was <br />designed to meet the 275' radius standard. <br />11. THE CITY ENGINEER HAS RECOMMENDED THAT STORMWATER <br />PONDING FACILITIES BE DEVELOPED FOR THE SITE AND SUCH <br />PONDING HAS NOT BEEN PROPOSED, HENCE THE PLAT LAYOUT <br />MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGES WHICH AFFECT THIS <br />APPROVAL!!!! <br />12. Thomas D. Johnson, Transportation Planning Engineer for the Hennepin County <br />Department of Transportation, in his letter of February 12, 1998, approved the <br />proposed curb cut location to Old Crystal Bay Road (County Road 84). <br />13. The City will nfit require that an additional 7 feet of right-of-way as requested <br />by Hennepin County be granted for Old Crystal Bay Road , because the Orono <br />Comprehensive Plan categorizes County Road 84 as a 'scenic parkway' requiring <br />only a 66' right-of-way width, and any future trail needs can be accomodated via <br />a 15' easement along the right of way which the developer has agreed to grant. <br />The Hennepin County Bicycle Trail System Plan dated Septemebr 1996 does not <br />include a trail at this location along County Road 84. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon one or more of <br />the findings noted above, the City Council of the City of Orono hereby approves the <br />preliminary plat application of Dan Anderson at 905 Old Crystal Bay Road South per <br />preliminary plat drawings by Edward J. Otto, a licensed surveyor of Otto Associates Engineers <br />and Land Sur\eyors, Inc., dated January 23, 1998, most revised date January 29, 1998, subject <br />to the following conditions; <br />1. A variance will be granted for width of Lots 2 and 3 which do not meet the 200' <br />width requirement of the LR-IA District. <br />2. A variance will be granted to allow a horizontal curve radius of 125' for the <br />private road in order to preserve identified drainfield sites. <br />Page 4 of 10
