REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, SEPTEMBER 26, 1983. PAGE 8 <br /> Mayor Butler noted that he is asking for five curb cuts <br /> on Watertown Road with shared driveways . <br /> Councilmember Adams stated that he sees a gross <br /> assumption that all platted lots can use existing <br /> roads which is contrary to the rural planning <br /> concepts. <br /> Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that rather than <br /> relying on long cul de sacs the developer could have <br /> through roads in the plat . Mabusth stated that now is <br /> the time to address the road issue because later the <br /> City may have no say in the issue . <br /> Richard Conry stated that i f he was asked to change the <br /> pl an tha t he wo ul d st i 11 come bac k wi th the same pl an . <br /> Conry noted that this may be the last part of the <br /> staging plat anyway. <br /> Councilmember Adams stated that if the City took over <br /> all peivate roads and made them City roads it would be a <br /> big project . <br /> Mayor Butler stated that there must be a different plan <br /> with either a cul de sac or a through road so that some <br /> more lots can be picked up internally rather than <br /> relying on City roads . <br /> Councilmember Adams agreed and stated that the <br /> developer is trying to rely on City streets and that is <br /> contrary to all of the rural concepts in the past . <br /> Councilmember Frahm asked how feasible shared <br /> driveways are. Frahm noted that in the future the <br /> property owner may wish to have his/her own driveway � <br /> and petition for another curb cut . <br /> Richard Conry stated that they spent 4-5 months on <br /> getting the right plan and that they felt this one was <br /> the right plan. Conry noted that they have followed <br /> every rule required by the City. Conry noted that the <br /> City Engineer did approve of this plan. <br /> Councilmember Frahm stated that if the City approved <br /> this plat that they would be setting a precedent for <br /> future developers. <br /> Richard Conry stated that he is not the owner and that <br /> he doesn ' t have that much control over the property. <br /> City Attorney noted that Conry' s sister appears to be <br /> the controlling owner and should have signed the <br /> application. <br />
