CITY OF ORONO MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: January 15, 2025 <br />TO: Rob Page o/b/o Garage/ Condo LLC <br />FROM: Laura Oakden, Community Development Director <br />RE: Garage Condo Development - LA24-000068 <br /> <br />The following are comments and points of information regarding the Garage Condo <br />CUP/Preliminary plat application. Please review the following. <br /> <br /> <br />Utilities (Water and Sewer)- <br />1. It is unclear where the development is proposing private vs public utility infrastructure. <br />This needs to be clearly delineated. Staff are recommending this would be at the <br />property line abutting the Industrial Blvd. There is a significant intensification in utilities <br />on the site from what was contemplated in the original development agreement. The <br />utilities within the property should be the responsibility of the developers. Staff is <br />recommending the utilities within the development by privately installed and maintained. <br />Staff will have access or shut off or emergency services. The developer will be <br />responsible for install and maintenance of the utility infrastructure. <br />2. Water- We recommend the addition of two water valves just inside the Industrial Blvd <br />ROW. These would allow the city to shut off water to the site should there be a need. <br />3. Sanitary- We recommend the addition of a MH structure just inside of the Industrial Blvd <br />ROW. This would allow the city access for maintenance to the public portion of the <br />sanitary (North) for maintenance. <br />4. Stormwater comments were provided previously. <br /> <br />Fire: <br />1. Required Turn Around – The entrance to the development will be used for <br />fire/emergency service turn around for the road. Clarification for the gate location and <br />accessibility is required to verify maneuverability. Please submit a plan indicating the <br />gate location and design. <br />2. Fire Hydrants - The plans state that there are 3 existing hydrants on Orono Industrial <br />Blvd. I only show one in our information. <br />a. There is one added fire hydrant located to the south of building 4. Is this a private <br />hydrant or a public? <br />3. Water Lines to the Individual Garages- There appear to be one-inch water lines going to <br />each garage. Is this adequate for the fire suppression system, too? <br /> <br />Police: <br />1. No major connects. I will be reviewing the use and HOA restrictions for using this <br />property as a short term home also as a large social gathering area for partying or other <br />large events <br /> <br /> <br />Planning/ Development Comments: <br />1. All permits from MCWD and other government agencies will be required before any <br />permits can be released. <br />90
