This is the only three family cul-de-sac whose removal is supported by all three property owners and the two affected neighbors. h. This is the only three family cul-de-sac along North Shore Drive where the norm is single and double private driveways. i. This is the only three family cul-de-sac the City of Orono has considered removing for almost twenty years. j. The City will no longer bear the cost of maintaining the existing street. k. Removal of the public .street will make the area safer for children. 1. Removal of the public street will increase securi�ty to the existing homes. • m. Removal of the public street will improve the aesthetic view from the lake. 9. The unique aspects of this proposal as stated in items 1 through 8 above are sufficient justification to allow the removal of this public road and cul-de-sac. The Council finds that the vacation of Scotch Pine Lane is supported by unique circumstances that are not generally found in other areas of Orono where private or public roads and cul-de-sacs serving as few as three residential lots are still appropriate. The Council further finds that because Scotch Pine Lane serves only three residential lots, does not provide access to the lakeshore for the public, and does not provide a potential fuiure access to neighboring properties, the public interest in Scotch Pine Lane is limited to the provision of services to the three property owners, which interests can be suitably served via private driveways and easements. 10. The vacation of Scotch Pine Lane does not affect access to or use of any adjoining property. • Page 4 of 6
