ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 2000 <br /> • <br /> (#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) <br /> the sewer come up from the south due to some of the concerns by the DNR of crossing the Luce Line <br /> Trail with the sewer line. <br /> Weinberger stated the original proposal had access to this subdivision off of Brown Road, <br /> ending in a cul-de-sac, with the private road servicing four lots. The City Engineer has <br /> recommended the proposed access to the property be platted as part of the subdivision and <br /> not by easement. He further recommends that the access to the site should meet a minimum <br /> 50 foot width to meet City roadway standards for a public or private street. The Applicant's latest <br /> proposal has the same road configuration and also contains the same four lots off of the <br /> cul-de-sac. The lots located south of the private road have been revised to allow for larger lots. <br /> Weinberger stated one issue of concern is the fact that access to the property is via a Tract G, <br /> which is not owned by the Applicant. Staff is recommending the owner of Tract G become a <br /> joint applicant and the corridor be replatted as part of the subdivision. The City Engineer and <br /> Public Works Director have recommended the entire access corridor be platted 50 feet in width <br /> to provide space for future utilities along the private road. Tract G should be in ownership of <br /> the Homeowner's Association as they will be responsible for the maintenance. Weinberger <br /> indicated a driveway easement has been granted many years ago to the current residence. <br /> Weinberger stated it is unclear whether the driveway easement would entitle the developer to <br /> utilize the road to service other properties. The Applicant has indicated that his Title Insurance <br /> Company has verified that they will guarantee access to the seven lots. <br /> • Weinberger stated in 1977, Halstad Acres was developed to the south of the access, which is <br /> owned by Mr. Dunn. With that development, an easement was granted for roadway purposes <br /> with the intent that some day access would need to be provided for this property. This issue <br /> becomes a legal question over whether the driveway easement gives the Applicant the right to <br /> construct a roadway to serve his development. <br /> Weinberger noted the City Engineer has reveiwed the drainage and grading plan for the <br /> subdivision and is requesting some modifications. The City Engineer at this time has some <br /> concerns regarding the size of the holding ponds and wants to insure that this development will <br /> not increase the runoff to the surrounding area. The developer will need to submit the requested <br /> information for review and approval by City Staff. <br /> Weinberger stated this proposed subdivision is located immediately adjacent to Long Lake, with <br /> the subdivision being serviced with sewer from an existing Long Lake sewer line. <br /> The Applicant is requested to submit the following information for review and approval prior to <br /> a final plat application. <br /> 1. Detailed grading, drainage and erosion control plans shall be submitted for review as <br /> requested by the City Engineer. <br /> 2. Final plans for sewer and water extension, including detailed sanitary sewer line profiles, <br /> shall be approved by Staff prior to review. <br /> 3. The Metropolitan Council shall approve a MUSA expansion to the site. <br /> • 4. A drainage area map, storm sewer and ponding calculations should be submitted for review <br /> and approval by Staff. All ponds shall meet NURP standards. The ponds shown in the <br /> Page 9 <br />
