MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMNIISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 16,2007 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#07-3301 Waldron Estate,Continued) <br /> Gaffron stated to his understanding it is an easement granted to the Metropolitan Council and there <br /> would have to be an extinguishxnent of the easement by the Metropolitan Council. Gaffron stated he <br /> does not feel it would be an issue. <br /> Curtis stated the existing property boundary goes to the center line of both Brown and Fox Street, and <br /> with the replatting,a 33-foot right-of-way would be dedicated to the city and the legal descriptions <br /> would be shortened. <br /> Hartfield pointed out the access point on Brown Road and the access point on Fox Street for the <br /> proposed lots,and noted that both lots could be accessed off of Fox Street. <br /> Berg questioned whether it would be better to have one access point off of Brown and one access point <br /> off of Fox. <br /> Kempf stated he would like to see the removal of the pavement between the two lots and to have the <br /> access off of Brown Road. Kempf stated the driveway off of Brown Road currently is a secondary <br /> access road and that if it became the driveway for the northern most residence,the road would need to <br /> be widened and be blacktopped. Kempf stated the best option is to have the access off of Fox Street. <br /> Berg inquired whether Kempf is recommending that an outlot be created. . <br /> Kempf sta.ted he is. Kempf inquired where the outlot would stop. <br /> Gaffron stated the outlot could stop at the lot line and that the driveway could potentially service three <br /> homes. The driveway that serves the existing farmhouse could remain or be relocated with the outlot. <br /> Gaffron noted there is quite a distance that would need to be txaversed in order to gain access to the <br /> northern lot. <br /> Curtis noted the City Engineer recommended the gravel road be maintained as a secondary access. <br /> Gaffron stated if an outlot is created up to the new proposed center line,there would be a triangle of <br /> land on the lower left of the plan that would become orphaned. Gaffron stated some type of <br /> arrangement would need to be amved at to keep that triangle portion together with the rest of the lot. <br /> Kempf inquired whether the outlot could stop short of the dividing property line. <br /> Gaffron questioned why an outlot would then be created. <br /> Hartfield sta.ted 1880 has an easement. <br /> Winer inquired whether the City allows only one access per lot and whether there will only be two lots. <br /> Hartfield sta.ted in his opinion there is only enough land for two lots and that there is a fair amount of <br /> wetlands. <br /> PAGE 4 <br />
