COUNCIL MEETING Zfl: Orono City Council FROM: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Zoning Administrator 1 1190 DATE: September 19, 1984 CITY OF ORONO SUBJECT: 1b60 George Funk/Judy Rogosheske, 540 Cld Crystal Bay Rd Preliminary Subdivision Zoning District - RR-1B Area = 12.93 dry acres exclusive of road right of way Application - Subdivision - plat - 4 lots List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Property Owners List Exhibit C - Plat Map Exhibit D - Plat Map showing drainageway Exhibit E - Easement purchase agreement Exhibit F - Preliminary plats Exhibit G - Statement of White Oak Circle Homeowners The applicants propose the division of Tracts Band C, RLS 1340. Tract B contains applicant's residence. All proposed lots meet the standards of the RR -.LB zoning district. All existing structures meet required setback from proposed dividing lines. There are no designated wetlands located within the property but staff is aware of a drainagway that comes in from the northwest and runs down the east side of Lot 2 up to the culvert in Lot 3. Drainage then runs to a low point on the east side of White Oak Circle. Surveyor must designate drainageway on plat as drainage easement s--minimi,m width of 20'. Access to Lots 2, 3 and 4 is via the private road, White Oak Circle. I have enclosed the easement purchase agreement for your review. Note a homeowners' group does not own the road; ownership remains with the developer. Applicants should be advised that special provisions must be made in the location and construction of an access drive for Lot 4. The private road is not improved beyond the cul de sac. I have reviewed the need to acquire right of way for a future loop road with the City Engineer. We concur that to acquire right of way along the south side of the subject propoerty would place the access too close to an already confusing intersection. If there is to be a future loop road, it should be to the soutn with an access on Fox Street located away from the intersection of Old Crystal Bay and Fox Street. Planning Commission responded to the homeowners petition by advising them that their concerns address the uses of a private road. If the subject road was a public road, the City would have the authority to deal with these matters. The drainageway has been addressed by the City in addition to the issue of a future loop road. The other matters would best be resolved between the owner of the road, homeowners and applicants.
