MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />MEETING HELD ON MARCH 17, 1997 <br />(#2 - #2212 Sidney and Barbara Rebers - Continued) <br />Gafiron indicated that the City was granted road and utility easements over the East <br />WiUow Woods and Sugar Woods frontage road segments when platted but ownership of <br />the outlots remains with the respective developers. The specific conditions of the <br />easements allowing the City the right to build the road within Outlots C and D are limited <br />The Otten easement states that no road shall be constructed until the following occurs. <br />1)The owner of Outlot C, East Willow Woods, requests it to be built; or <br />2)Until an east/west frontage road is constructed from Willow Drive to Brovvn <br />Road with southerly extensions from Sugar Woods to Hwy 12 and another lining <br />up with Brimhall Lane; or <br />3)Upon rezoning of the two residential properties north of East Willow Woods to <br />commercial; or <br />4)Upon development of Otten's easterly parcel as a separate entity from the <br />currently developed westerly parcel, unless the City determines that no access is required <br />for the easterly parcel. A right-in access currently exists from Willow Drive to the Otten <br />property. <br />Gaffron further explained the limitations of the City’s Sugar Woods easement m relation to <br />occurrences on the outlots. The development over Outlot E allows the construction o a <br />150' segment of frontage road adjacent to Outlot E. The easement over Otten s Outlot C <br />precludes the segment of road until the entire frontage road is built from Brown to <br />Willow. Gaffron questioned whether a 150* segment of frontage road would be desirab e. <br />The access impact on business development of Outlot E will likely determine how the <br />buildings will be oriented. As a result, the developer will need to know whether or not the <br />frontage road will occur. If that is unknown, the buildings would likely be onented to the <br />south. It was noted that since a semaphore currently exists at Willow, it would be <br />appropriate from a traffic flow standpoint to develop the service road westward from <br />Outlot E to Willow Drive prior to the development on Outlot E to eliminate the U-turn <br />problem. <br />Gaffron indicated that additional items to consider include a trail corridor. The e.x^ing <br />sidewalk pathway on the north side of Hwy 12 is not the trail that was envisioned for the <br />area. To mamtain 60 ’ of roadway to allow a trail to be constructed would require an <br />additional triangle of right-of-way to be platted at this time with road/utUiiy/dramage <br />casements granted. GaSron noted the City Engineer has requested drainage and utility <br />casements be granted over Outlot D since this did not occur when Outlot D was platted.
