MINUTES OF THE • <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 20, 2015 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Landgraver noted this will be a shared road and that the two homeowner associations need to look at how <br /> the roads can be made safer. <br /> Schoenzeit stated it needs to be a coordinated road system and should be engineered from Watertown <br /> Road to the cul-de-sac. <br /> Christopher Huntley, Attomey-at-law, stated the development agreement that was recorded against the <br /> properties to the south contains language regarding this road, and it basically says that the developer, <br /> being the person who developed the land to the south, shall also provide a separate declaration of private <br /> covenants, restrictions and conditions. Such documents shall allow for the extension of the road to the <br /> property to the north, being the subject property, at the cost of the developer that developed the origi�al <br /> land. It also allows for future owners of the property to the north access to Watertown Road via a private <br /> road at no cost except for the sharing of maintenance. Huntley indicated they have come up with a cost <br /> sharing agreement but that this would be an additional cost that should be borne by the land to the south. <br /> Schoenzeit stated they are adding to the road, which can create new unsafe conditions, and that therefore <br /> the new development needs to make sure the way the road attaches is safe with the existing road. <br /> Humley indicated he respects that. <br /> Schoenzeit stated since the new development is attaching to the existing road,those would be costs borne <br /> by this development. <br /> Hummel stated he is more concerned with some other costs that are attached with requiring the developer <br /> to the north make the changes to the property to the south. <br /> Gaffron stated that is outside the realm of the Planning Commission and will need to be between the <br /> attorneys,the property owners, and the homeowners associations. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the Planning Commission's recommendation is end-to-end safety and that they can <br /> figure out how to pay for it. <br /> Charlie Wiemerslage, Sathre-Bergquist, stated he used the existing design for Kintyre as well as the sight <br /> values and speeds on the road and that they meet all of those with this design. Wiemerslage stated he is <br /> not sure there is any need to redesign Kintyre. <br /> Schoenzeit stated the Planning Commission did not ask for that but that they asked that the new road meet <br /> the sight lines and safety. <br /> Thiesse noted the Planning Commission has now been told it does. Thiesse asked what his <br /> recommendation would be for the existing cul-de-sac. <br /> Wiemerslage stated that would be a question for the fire marshal but that the idea of putting an island <br /> might not be a bad idea to slow traffic down. Wiemerslage stated that is probably an issue for the <br /> homeowners in the area. <br /> Schoenzeit moved, Thiesse seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 15-3763, <br /> Christopher and Gail Bollis,200 and 350 Stubbs Bay Road, granting of preliminary plat, subject to <br /> Page 14 of 25 <br />
