Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> September 30, 2002 <br /> Mr. Troy Prosa <br /> Formation Architects, Inc. <br /> 275 Market Street <br /> Minneapolis, NIN 55405 <br /> RE: DRIVEWAY PERI�IIT FOR 2530 FOX ST`REET <br /> Dear Mr. Prosa: - <br /> �• <br /> The City of Orono has reviewed the driveway access for the property at 2530 Fox Street and has <br /> concluded the best access for the iir{veway is to the existing shared driveway rather than a direct <br /> access to FoY Street. ' <br /> The property was part of the Beau Marais 2"d Addition in 1995. At that time it was implied that <br /> the access for this lot would be to the private drive that also serves two additional lots to the <br /> north. The 2530 lot also was required to enter into a driveway maintenance a�eement with the <br /> two lots that also share access. <br /> Part of the City's rational behind requiring the access to the private drive `vas related to the <br /> limiting of direct access to Fox Street. The Comprehensive Plan addresses the issue stating that <br /> the number of curb cuts and access points be limited. The Comp Plan only discusses limiting <br /> access for individual residences for street designated as an arterial. This section of Fox Street is <br /> not defined as an arterial but is one of only a few through streets that do receive additional east- <br /> west traffic. <br /> The City of Orono has concluded from the information that is available from the time the lot was <br /> created the "intent" was made that access for 2530 �vould be from the existing private access <br /> drive. The developer also went so far to assume a portion of the maintenance costs for the private <br /> drive include the subject lot. Additionally, the private driveway was required to be upgraded to <br /> accommodate additional traffic. Allowing direct access to Fo:c Street would not be consistent <br /> �vith the past policies and approvals, and would conflict with the intent of the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. <br /> Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
