The existing private easement road at the southeast corner of the property has a curve radius that does not meet City standards and as a result has poor sight distance due to existing topography and vegetation. The primary mound drainfield site for Lot 2 is near the inside of this curve. Planning Comnussion on September 15, 1997 recommended that public right-of-way be dedicated over this portion of private road to allow a future upgrade of this curve. Planning Commission further recommended that the City grant an easement over the newly dedicated right-of- way in favor of Lot 2 for septic system use; and recommended that the subdivider make sight distance improvements to the existing curve. Council fmds that there is no public need at this time for this section of private road to be de.dicated to the public, and because this is part of Orono's defined rural area, it is appropriate and consistent to have the developer plat a private road outlot rather than dedicate right- of-way. Council further fmds that no upgrades to this curve shall be required as part of this subdivision approval. Further, the City will allow the septic system to . be located within 5 feet of Outlot C via an administrative variance. 8. This subdivision is subject to review and approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. 9. The subdivider shall not be required to upgrade Lyman Avenue as part of this approval. , NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon one or more of the fmdings noted above, the Ciry Council of the Ciry of Orono hereby approves the preliminary plat application of G. Marc and Tracy S. Whitehead per plat drawings by Walter J.
