O 4 • �� a CITY of ORONO � ,:. ; � ti ti RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ��9 4�'G NO. �7 � � 4 . kESI'i� 11 7 lots will be served via a private road to be constructed by the Developer in _ approximately the same location as the existing driveway. Because the private road . will also serve the adjacent Lot 1, Block 1, Kallestad Acres, the total number of homes to be served by the driveway is 8,for which City Code would normally require a minimum paved road width of 28'. However, in order minimize the iinpact on , existing trees and vegetation within the roadway area between the property and Brown Road, and to maximize retention of existing vegetative screening, it would be appropriate to allow a reduced width to 24' in this area where on-street parking and driveway approaches will likely be minimal. The private road will be subject to homeowner association ownership and maintenance,and subject to an underlying Road, Drainage and Utility Easement to be granted to the City. The private road as proposed does not meet City standards for horizontal curve radius for a 30 mph roadway. However, the approximately 80' horizontal curve radius proposed is acceptable because this is not a through road, the curve is near the cul-de-sac, and the curve will have a traffic calming effect as vehicles approach the homesites. � 9. Due to the proximity to Long Lake Creek and the steep slopes surrounding the portion of the Property to be developed, it is critical that as much stormwater and snowmelt runoff from the development as is feasible be discharged to the stormwater � . quality pond to be located within proposed Lot 7. This can be accomplished by use . of curb and gutter and storm sewers to collect road runoff;by grading driveways to drain toward the road storm sewer system;by finish grading individual yard areas to drain wherever possible toward the road storm sewer system; and by establishing roof gutter systems to discharge as much roof runoff as possible to the road storm sewer system. 10. The City has no current plans for trails or parks that specifically require dedication of land from this property.Because the southerly part of the property abuts the Luce Line Trail, a private walking path access to the Luce Line over the area proposed to be preserved as an outlot, would provide an appropriate private amenity for homeowners within the development.Because dedication of land for park purposes is not required at this location, a Park Dedication Fee in lieu of land per City Ordinance would be appropriate. � Page 3 of 13
