COUNCIL MEETING To: Mayor Grabek & Orono Council Members SEP 2 51989 City Administrator Bernhardson From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zonir41r"F4WW Date: September 20, 1989 Subject: #1442 The Landschute Group Inc„ 3300 Bayside Road/375 Leaf St - Preliminary Subdivision - Resolution List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Revised Preliminary Plat Drawings Exhibit B - Notice of Council Action of 9/18/09 Exhibit C - 7/27/d7 Letter from City Engineer Exhibit D - Proposed Resolution Exhibit E - Memo & Exhibits of 9/7/89 Discussion - The applicant has revised the driveway location for Lot 1, centering that driveway on the property. This would appear to eliminate the need to remove trees near neighboring lot lines. City Engineer Glenn Cook briefly reviewed with staff the concerns of the neighbors regarding culvert freeze -yip and staging of driveways only 60' apart. Glenn noted that culverts underneath the driveways on either side of Lot 1 are 18" and 21" respectively, and Glenn recommends a 24" culvert be provided for the new driveway, which would minimize a,y effect this new driveway would have on existing driveway cul-,. arts. Due to the location of the alternate drainfield site for Lot 1, the neighbor to the west may still have concern regarding the driveway location and headlights aim. towards hjs house when vehicles leave Lot 1. The applicant n�_ad to staff that he would be discussing the screening possibilities with that neighbor. Of course, there is nothing in the zoning code that specifically requires such screening. As of this writing, one of the neighbors had noted that the lot corners had not yet been restakeu. Since the property ownees both east and west of Lot 1 are new to the neighborhood since the previous preliminary subdivision approval in 1987, it is appropriate that the lot corners be restaked by the applicant as soon as possible. Staff Recos endatior - A proposed resolution for preliminary plat approval appears as Exhibit D. !�caff would recommend approval. If Council wishes to require specific screening along the driveway for Lot 1 or wishes to condition approval on the centrally located driveway for Lot 1, those conditions could be added to the resolution if you so desire.
