Fire, Public Works Creating a cul-de-sac would enhance public safety by providing adequate space for commercial and public safety vehicles to tum around, and minimiie the use of private driveways for private vehicles to turn around. It would also enhance stonn water management by controlling water flow with curb and gutter. The Public Works DiredX>r has indicated that there is adequate water and sewer capacity in the lines that would serve this subdiVision, and recommends that the water line be looped with the existing line on Kennedy Ln. Echoing the comments of Orono's City Engineer, staff recommends that a written water and sewer agreement be created if the subdivision were approved. The applicant is proposing to create a gravity sanitary sewer system tied into the existing manhole at the south end of Apple Glen Rd. The property is located outside of the Metropolitan Urban Service Are.a (MUSA) as regulated by the Metropolitan Council, and accordingly, a MUSA expansion must be approved by the Orono City Council and the Metropolitan Council. other Staff has received several letters from various residents that are in opposition to granting the access. However, at the time these letters were sent, the applicant was proposing seven units with the only access to the subdivision being Apple Glen Rd., as illustrate-J in Exhibit 1. Rec;Qmm@ndations Staff is supportive of permitting the acces.5 if some public benefit to the City of Long Lake may be created as a result of the subdivision. The increase in traffic is marginal, and this is an opportunity to improve storm water management that may otherwise not occur in an area that has continued to experience flocx:ling. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the access on Apple Glen Rd. subject to the following conditions: 1. Extension of Apple Glen Rd. in an urban cross section with a minimum pavement width of 26 feet with full concrete curb and gutter in such a design that is oonsistent with the e)dstlng road; 2. Construction of a standard cul-de-sac bulb with full concrete curb and gutter at the end of Apple Glen Rd. with a minimum pavement radius of 40 feet, and a minimum right of way radius of 60 feet; 3. Creation of a written water and sewer agreement which includes approval to expand the MUSA as regulated by the Metropolitan Council; 4. Creation of oversized storm water management facilities that minimizes flocx:ling at the southern end of Apple Glen Rd. as approved by the City Engineer; 5. Looping of the water main to the exigjng line on Kennedy Ln. as required by the Public Works Director; 6. Final approval by the Qty Engineer 900/!iOO"d 'ZL90#
