REGULAR TSEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, FEBRUARY 23 , 1978 Page 4 We recommend that there be no vacation of the right- pUBLIC HEARING of-�aay of Partenwood Lane until the . following items Partenwood Lane Vacate have been resolved in a manner and form acceptable (Continued) to the City Attorney: . l. Underlying street and utility easement in favor of the City of Orono. 2. Utility easements for gas, electric and telephone lines. 3. Right-of-access easements across Partenwood Lane in favor of Lots 5 & 6 , Block 2 and Lot 2 , Block 3. 4. Written and recorded arrangements for permanent maintenance of Partenwood Lane relative to cost sharing, responsibilities, obligations, etc. of the parcels abutting the street. Mr. Johnson indicates in his p�tition that he owns all the property abutting the street proposed to be vacated and that he has no current plans for future construction. Fiowever, the abutting lots are still individual parcels of record and can be disposed of at the discretion of P4r. Johnson to other parties. It is our recomrnendation that in lieu of vacating the right-of-way of Partenwood Lane at this time, the Council determine that it is in the public . interest to close the traveled portion of the street and cause to be installed a suitable barrier or gate at the �ntrance of the cul-de-sac which would preclude the unwarranted traffic intrusion r.lentioned in the petition to vacate. End of letter r�ir. Alan Olson, Assistant Building & Zoning Administrator, informed the City Council that on December 12, 1977, the Council discussed the petition with Psr. Johnson and advised him that they would consider calling a public hearing for the first meeting in February provided a complete application was received.
