Lot Subdivision <br />CITY OF <br />LONG LAKE <br />January 9, 2001 <br />----------................. , ........ _____________ --- <br />PROPER'IY <br />ADDRESS 120 s. Brown Rd. <br />PID# 03-117-23-12-0005 <br />PROPERTY OWNER Chuck Van Eeckhout <br />Plan Reviewed <br />• Proposed Property Division for I.Dng Lake Tracto~ prepared by Coffin & Gronberg, Inc., <br />dated 9-29-00, ClL date-stamped 9-29-00 <br />Request <br />Mr. Van Eeckhout is seeklng approval from the City of Orono to subdivide his 20 acre property <br />into four residential lots located at 120 S. Brown Rd. in Orono. This parcel abuts the southern <br />end of Apple Glen Rd., and the applicant is seeking access from this road to serve two <br />proposed residential lots. <br />Background <br />This subdivision proposal has been under Orono review since at least 1999. The outstanding <br />environmental issues have been addressed with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and <br />the Department of Natural Resources, with access to the pan:el being the only remaining <br />unresolved issue. The City of Long Lake has indicated to the applicant that it will not act upon <br />the access issue until a site plan has been approved from Orono. The minutes from the 9-11- <br />00 Orono City C.Ouncil meeting indicate that Orono ''will approve the subdivision if Long Lake <br />grants access from Apple Glen Rd." Orono prefers full access from Brown Rd., and Mayor <br />Jabbour stated that Orono "cannot approve the plan without having suitable access to the <br />property because the C.OUndl would then be forced to find the applicant access." Previous <br />draft plans indicated a 7 lot subdivision (see Exhibit 1). <br />Currently, the parcel is accessed from Brown Rd. via a 40 foot wide access easement across a <br />parcel owned by Mr. and Mrs. Dunn. The applicant has indicated that the Dunns have not <br />accepted any of the compensation offers to e.xpand the easement to construct the 28 foot wide <br />900/ZOO'd Zl90# Z'i::96 9lv ZS6 ov=v1 1002:,SO'N'lir
