MEMO <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />TO: Chair Hawn and Orono Planning Commission <br />FROM: Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator/Planner <br />DATE: January 14, 2000 <br />SUBJECT: Access to Property <br />Previously we had discussed a 20 acre site located at 120 South Brown Road that is proposed for <br />subdivision by Charles Van Eeckhout. The primary issue concerning the site is legal access. The property <br />has no direct access to a pub lie road. Mr. Van Eeckhout has stated he was granted an easement for road <br />purposesovera40' corridorlegallydescribedasTractGofRSLNo. 1022 (PID #03-117-2312 0004) <br />which is not owned by Mr.Van Eeckhout. The property is owned by John Dunn. The City has confirmed <br />an easement for driveway purposes has been granted in favor of Mr. Van Eeckhout over Tract G, but we <br />have not located any easements for roadway purposes. <br />A second easement was dedicated to the City of Orono over a lot located at 130 South Brown Road for <br />road and utility purposes. I have been in contact with the Recorder's Office and believe the Document No. <br />for this easement to be 4348630. The easement was dedicated on the Plat of Kallestad Acres over the <br />north portion of Lot 1, Block 1. <br />A second issue with access to the property is whether Tract G must be replatted, or if an easement does <br />exist for access is that sufficient for private road construction? The private road within Tract G would be <br />owned and maintained by the Homeowners Association, but the corridor is owned by Mr. Dunn. <br />The City of Orono is researching to determine if the proposed road arrangement is legal. I have included <br />the Staff report without detailed discussion regarding legal access to the property. This information should <br />be available for the meeting on Wednesday evening.
