°moo CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 5 6 o 7 FINDINGS 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #07-3274. 2. The property is zoned LR-lA Single Family Lakeshore Residential District, which requires a minimum lot area of 2.0 acres and minimum lot width of 200' The Property including the right-of-way to be vacated is 5.99 acres in area, all of which is dry buildable area. 3. The property is guided in the 2000-2020 Orono Community Management Plan (CMP) for single family residential use at a density of 1 unit per 2 acres. The proposed layout contains 2 residential lots each exceeding 2.0 acres in area. 4. The proposed re -plat includes two residential lots. Both lots, plus the adjacent property at 1480 Bracketts Point Road, will be served via a new private road to be constructed by the Developer, extending generally southeastward along the north and east property boundaries of Lot 1 and ending in a cul-de-sac abutting Lots I and 2. This new private road will replace the existing public road which will be vacated. At the level of 3 properties being served the required outlot corridor width by City ordinance would be 50' for the road and 100' diameter for the cul- de-sac, with a 24' paved width and 80' diameter paved cul-de-sac. Because the existing public road not being vacated averages only 14'-16' in traveled width within a 20' right-of-way corridor, it would be reasonable to not require the full code -standard 24' paved width for the new private road. However, in order that the Fire Code is met and that adequate emergency access is provided, it is reasonable to require that the new private road be no less than 20' in paved width. To provide adequate room for drainage, utilities and snow storage, the outlot corridor for the private road must be no less than 30' and additional drainage and utility easements within the abutting properties should be established to provide a total dedicated corridor width of 50' wherever possible, but in no case less than 10' outside the paved roadway. 5. The private road will be subject to homeowner association ownership and maintenance, and subject to an underlying Road, Drainage and Utility Easement to be granted to the City, as well as a "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Private Roadway Easement" either as a separate document or incorporated into the development covenants.
