Van Eeckhout indicated this area is located in the proposed MUSA area. <br /> Bellows asked if her understanding was correct that the Applicant currently has a driveway <br /> easement over a piece of property to serve his home located on 20 acres. <br /> Van Eeckhout stated he does. <br /> Bellows inquired whether that easement would run with his title. <br /> Van Eeckhout stated it would. <br /> Bellows commented that by definition a driveway in Orono can only service two residences. <br /> Gaffron stated once a driveway reaches the level of providing access to three residences, it must <br /> be upgraded to a city road. <br /> Bellows inquired how a private property owner can be forced into arbitration in order to gain <br /> access over his property. <br /> Van Eeckhout stated he is not able to do that unless the property owner agrees to it. <br /> Bellows commented she misunderstood the Applicant. <br /> Van Eeckhout stated John Dunn did indicate to him that he would be willing to submit to <br /> arbitration in a phone call. <br /> Mr. Dunn's son was present and indicated his father John is in Florida at the present time, but that it is <br /> his understanding that his father has not agreed to submit to arbitration. <br /> Bellows indicated the question of access is still unresolved at this time. <br /> Van Eeckhout stated approval would have to be subject to access. <br /> Kluth commented he is somewhat confused on what plan the Planning Commission is to look at. <br /> Van Eeckhout stated the proposal before the Planning Commission is the four lot development, <br /> and that he is looking for guidance on whether the Planning Commission would be agreeable to <br /> this type of development. <br /> Kluth indicated the Planning Commission is an advisory body only. <br /> Bob Sansevere, City Council Representative, stated he would prefer not to see this application <br /> again until the issue of access has been resolved, which has been communicated to the Applicant. <br /> Sansevere stated it is his position approval should not be given until access is resolved. <br /> Berg indicated she would like to see the access issue resolved as well. <br /> PAGE 15 <br />
