December 28, 1989 / OK 2 91989 ?.i.an G. Car. 3125 Fox Street Long Lake, HN 55356 Jeanne Mabusth Building and Zone Administrator City of Orono P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55356 Dear Jeanne: As you know, the preliminary plat which we submitted for Indian Creek utilizes an outlet for the access to Lot 4/ Block I would like to state the factors which influenced the use of the outlet. / Lot Block ^ has 200 feet fronting on the main road. However, a driveway which came off of the main road would have to travel about 400 feet through low ground. Consequently, we preferred other alternatives for access to the building site on XiO ^ 6. Our preliminary plat uses the Outlet B configuration for access to Lot Sl The road's cul-de-sac ends on the high ground of the treed area approximately 400 feet from the northern boundary of the property. Instead of providing Lot/f with an easement over Lot we felt it was preferable to create Outlet B over which Lot I's driveway could be built. Lot ^ could also use that driveway. An alternative was to simply continue the main road along the path that Outlet B occupies and provide the cul- de-sac at the junction of Lotsljl and We have the necessary high ground on those two lots to accommodate the road and the drainfield locations would not be impaired by the road. I have asked Sunde Land Survey, Inc. to provide you with a drawing showing that configuration. Considering the two alternatives, the Outlet B design is preferable to extending the road for a number of reasons. 1.Aesthetics favor the use of Outlet B. A single driveway going up to Lot I#- and ^ will be far less disruptive of the area and more aesthetically pleasing than a wide paved road. The present cul-de-sac located in the high ground in the treed area will be a very attractive turn around point for motorists. There is simply no good reason to run turn-around motorists up the hill to the junction of Lots & and f. I ^
