This practice is a requirement of the � <br /> • Orono Subdivisioii Ordinance - Miuucipal Code Section 82-283(h)(1). The City has <br /> required tlie platting of connecting coixidors to adjoining properties in many instances, to <br /> provide access to adj acent propei-ties and to provide for the potential to create "through" <br /> roads which are preferable for maintenance, circulation and einergency access purposes, <br /> as coinpared to cul-de-sacs. <br /> Wheii such corridors are platted as private road outlots, in virtually all cases since the late <br /> 1970's the City has required the dedication of underlying road easements to the City. <br /> These road outlots include segments to be used now for private road and cul-de-sac <br /> puiposes, and segments for future interconnection of private roads, should circtunstances <br /> warrant such intercomlection. The circurnstances that miglit wai�rant such <br /> interconnection at some future date include but are not limited to: <br /> • Neighborhood associations requesting the City to t11ce over road mainteiiance, ui <br /> which case the City would likely require the connections prior to acceptance of the <br /> road as public,to allow for more efficient maintenance... <br /> • Establislunent of an intercoiuZected public trail sysiem between neighboi•hoods... <br /> • Soine conclusion by the City or by its ileighborhoods that connection of cul-cle-sac <br /> roads will provide a necessary increase in public safety or decrease in einergency <br /> response tinie... <br /> • An area-wide rezoning that would allow for lugher density 1nd the izeed for additioiial <br /> access to property, on-street-p�rkiiig, etc. <br /> 3 <br />
