• MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD JULY 19, 1993 ZONING FILE #1843 - CONT. Suess pointed out his homestead has existed on this property since the late 1800s. He said the drainage issue should have been corrected with the development of the Hackberry neighborhood and he felt he should not be solely responsible for the correction of the drainage problem. Mabusth stated perhaps there is an opportunity to work with the neighbors to the east to create a joint drainage easement. Lindquist questioned the need for the road. Mabusth explained that the interior roads are all private roads until connected, at which point the City will take over maintenance. Lindquist asked if lots have been platted on the Hallson property to see where the boundaries could go. Mabusth noted the northern Hallson lot at 4+ acres has not been platted as yet. Fischer stated the residents want the private road to deter public traffic. Rowlette stated the access may be very valuable should Highway 12 be relocated to the southern corridor. She suggested staff confirm the ability of Hallson to divide his property if the road were to be located across his property. Mabusth stated they will be requiring drainage information with the filing of the preliminary plat to determine the impact on the dry buildable area. She noted the new development cannot send drainage at a greater velocity to property to the east than property emits at undeveloped conditions. She felt the Hallson property could be subdivided into two parcels even with all or part of a future road extension. Peterson felt they should allow the cul -de -sac and not require the extension of the road. Mabusth stated even if the Hallson property were divided, the road • would not necessarily be constructed as the property is served by Goldenview. No action was taken. 9
