This will accomplish the following: <br /> 1) Provide optimum driveway access to the public road for all tots; 2) Significantly <br /> improve the transition to the private road for emergency service vehicles and delivery <br /> trucks(the proposed cul-de-sac meets the turn radius requirements of the Long <br /> Lake Fire Department for that intersection, as provided by the Fire Chief during the <br /> project briefing); 3)Substantially improve the quality of the storm water runoff into <br /> Lake Minnetonka from the existing roadway immediately adjacent to the shoreline; 4) <br /> Provide for uninterrupted direct access to the shoreline for Lots, 3, 4, and 5, and 5) <br /> Provide a public roadway that meets current design standards. The present <br /> Bracketts Point Road asphalt roadway surface will be removed (any asphalt surface <br /> on adjacent private property will also be removed at the Developer's expense, <br /> subject to property owner authorization) and replaced with a grass geo-grid over the <br /> existing roadway base, or equivalent (Grass Pave), and a portion of Lot 5;the geo- <br /> grid under consideration has a load strength of 88,000 pounds. A vacation of the <br /> present roadway ROW will be requested in favor of the existing adjacent property <br /> owners and this vacation will be immediately replaced by an easement, with <br /> appropriate signage, in favor of the City of Orono, for sanitary sewer utility <br /> maintenance purposes. <br /> • Sanitary sewer-The existing sanitary sewer will remain in place with easements for <br /> installation and maintenance provided as required; Lots 2, 3, 4, and 5 will connect <br /> directly to the present system or via a sanitary sewer extension. <br /> • Water- Each private residence will have their own private well for their water supply, <br /> installed at the time of residence construction. There are presently two wells on the <br /> property; one serving the existing residence and one serving the caretakers' <br /> residence. The well serving the current residence will be retained and the additional <br /> well will also be retained, until a residence design is provided,for possible use on <br /> that lot; if the additional well cannot be used due to home design/pad location then <br /> that well will be abandoned per MDH well abandonment procedures. <br /> RECEIVED <br /> SEP 2 0 2017 <br /> 397 7 CITY OF ORONO <br />
