MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 17,2017 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Sue Dunkley stated she would prefer a code for the gate leading into their property. Dunkley stated if the <br /> access onto Walters Port is not necessary,she would be very happy with that,and that they are looking <br /> for direction from the Planning Commission. Dunkley stated they would like the three properties to have <br /> access through the gate. <br /> Leskinen asked if the road would then need to be 50 feet wide. <br /> Curtis indicated the platted right-of-way would need to be 50 feet wide and the paved surface would be 24 <br /> feet wide. <br /> Thiesse stated if Lot 1 were served by Walters Port Lane,then the other two homes would not need a <br /> private road. <br /> Sue Dunkley stated the reason they are buying the other piece is to have the access come in the other way. <br /> Dunkley stated the current entrance looks like the home is sitting in a back alley. <br /> Thiesse stated the three homes is what triggers the need for the larger road. Thiesse noted the connection <br /> will be gated but that emergency vehicles will have access without the need for a code. Thiesse <br /> recommend they look at the radii of the angles. <br /> Landgraver recommended the plan be further defined before it goes to the City Council. <br /> Thiesse noted the Planning Commission has discussed No.4 concerning the existing entrance monuments <br /> and gate. Thiesse stated to his understanding Orono does not have any other gates that require a code. <br /> Sue Dunkley indicated there would also be cameras on the gate so they would know who is there. <br /> Dunkley stated Walters Port is also a private road. <br /> Curtis noted there would still be underlying easements for access and utilities under the outlot for the <br /> roadway. <br /> Landgraver stated he has a preference for the way it is now since it will provide some exclusivity or a <br /> barrier but that in his view a code might be going too far. <br /> Vogstrom stated they can have it where if someone drives up to it,it will open automatically. <br /> Thiesse asked if Outlot B would provide access to the Huelers' property. <br /> Vogstrom indicated it is if they choose to use that. <br /> Thiesse noted if Outlot D were to exist,the Huelers would not require an additional easement. <br /> Sue Dunkley indicated the Huelers would still come in through the gate but more of their driveway would <br /> be on their land. <br /> Vogstrom noted there would still be an easement from Kelly to the gate. <br /> Landgraver noted the City has received a comment regarding a shed. <br /> Page 15 of 20 <br />
