A <br />ING <br />TO: Mayor Butler Al L 2 8 iq-c- <br />Mark Bernhardson, City Administrator <br />Orono Council Members <br />Planning Commission Members <br />FROM: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Zoning Administrator <br />DATE: July 15, 1986 <br />SOBJ: #1026 M. Hilbilink/J. Vogt/Mrs. H. Peterman, <br />160 Old Crystal Bay Road - Preliminary Subdivision <br />Council has referred subdivision application #1026 back to the <br />Planning Commission for a recommendation regarding the need to <br />establish future access and access easements within the subject <br />property. <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Hilbilinks letter of 7/11/86 <br />B - Staff's sketch of access corridor within plat <br />C - Staff sketch of future roads <br />D - Staff sketch of future roads <br />E - Blatz memo 5/12/86 <br />In light of Planning Commission discussion at your last meeting <br />regarding future access within the subject plat, Staff has <br />enclosed a memo from the City Attorney dated 5/12/86 that <br />addresses many of the concerns raised by specific members. Staff <br />also asks that you review Section 11.01 - Policy and Purpose of <br />the Subdivision Regulations that may also give basis to staff's <br />original request for input or direction from the Planning <br />Commission on the -ssue of future access. <br />Council deems the access issue one of gi at import especially in <br />consideration of the vacant undeveloped lands that surround the <br />subject property. The Planning Commission is asked once again to <br />address future access in relation to this property. <br />There are two types of road acquisition or designation that <br />should be covered in this review. The first is the through road <br />needs. In designating an access easement to the west border of <br />Woodhaven, the intent of the City was clear - a through road to <br />the west (Old Crystal Bay Road). Staff would concur that the <br />location of the access corridor for Lot 2 at Old Crystal Bay Road <br />does not meet the safety or use level standards for a suitable <br />through road. Staff would recommend against the acquisition or <br />designation of an access corridor along the northern border of <br />the property. <br />The next consideration would be a north/south link to Watertown <br />Road from the extension of Woodhaven Drive. Mr. Hilbilink <br />(exhibit A) in his letter of 7/11/86 cites preference for an <br />eastern access for his future homestead and a future lot. Glenn <br />Cook in reviewing the southern undeveloped portion of this 1/2 <br />section notes that an east corridor access would be at the most <br />
