MINUTES OF THE ' <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Gaffron indicated they provide options for the future. Gaffron stated in the event the City assumes <br /> ownership of some of the private roads in the future, through streets are easier for snow plowing and <br /> maintenance. <br /> Leskinen asked if the City has had developments where it has not been practical to have a through road <br /> easement. <br /> Gaffron noted the Planning Commission looked at one earlier tonight where the connection to the Dayton <br /> property to the north was not contemplated because that property is already developed. Gaffron stated if <br /> there is additional land to be developed beyond the cul-de-sac, then it becomes more critical to look at, <br /> but in this situation, everything around the property has already been developed. Gaffron stated in that <br /> respect, it is not necessary to create that corridar. Gaffron noted the corridar was created up to a certain <br /> point with the expectation that when this property was developed,it could use that as a potential access <br /> point. <br /> Thiesse asked what the City can do about the fact that it would create a nonconforming lot. Thiesse stated <br /> in his view it is not the developer's obligation to give up a lot for the convenience of a future road. <br /> Thiesse stated if the developer does provide that road corridor, in his view the City should accept a lot <br /> that is less than two acres. <br /> McGrann stated in this situation it would detract having a through street in that area. McGrann stated he <br /> understands emergency vehicle needs,but given the fact that there is no additional land to develop, he <br /> would rather see a cul-de-sac. <br /> Leskinen stated she would be in agreement with that, especially since this is a low density development. <br /> Chair Leskinen opened the public hearing at 10:20 p.m. <br /> John Winston, 155 Wear Lane North, stated they are the neighbars that would be most impacted by this <br /> development. Winston stated on a previous application, there were a number of people on Crystal Creek <br /> Page 50 of 79 <br />
