Option 1. Shared approx. 100 ft. driveway for 1010, 1020, 1030 and 1070 <br />with a split after about 70 ft. as proposed in the initial Phase II preliminary <br />plan. <br />Option 2. Approximately 75ft by 20 ft slab with a single curb cut shared by <br />1010, 1020, 1030, 1070 but with a 2 ft. concrete section to delineate the <br />driveway of 1010, 1020 and 1030 from the driveway of 1070. This option <br />was presented by the County in Feb. 2017 <br />Option 3: Completely separate driveways about 75 feet long. One drive for <br />1010, 1020, 1030 and a second separate driveway for 1070 presented by <br />the county in March 2017. <br />Option 4: The driveway presented at the July 5 Long Lake City Council <br />meeting which has a single curb cut with 60ft x 18ft shared slab that leads <br />to two approximately 25 ft. separated driveways for 1070 and <br />1010/1020/1030. <br />We reached the unanimous conclusion that Option 2 or Option 4 with revision to <br />address legal separation of ownership of the driveways to 1010, 1020, 1030 and <br />1070 meet the criteria of the county, the City of Long Lake and the affected <br />homeowners. Our major requirements for the driveway design are: (1) safety for <br />residents and drivers, and (2) minimize legal costs and now and in future that <br />could arise without legal separation of the driveways of 1010/1020/1030 and <br />1070. <br />Option 2 provides legal separation of the driveway for 1010, 1020, 1030 and the <br />driveway for 1070. It also provides unobstructed space for parking fire trucks etc. <br />The owners of the properties would be required to provide maintenance for their <br />respective driveways. We prefer to provide maintenance rather than risk present <br />and future legal issues that we anticipate will arise if our private driveway is <br />shared with the driveway of 1070. The downside of this option from our <br />perspective is the cost of maintenance is borne by the homeowners and there are <br />potential safety concerns with placement of mailboxes on Old Long Lake Rd very <br />close to County Rd. 112. <br />Option 4 as presented by the City of Long Lake on July 5 includes a shared apron <br />for 1010, 1020, 1030 and 1070. This option is acceptable to us if the shared <br />section in a legal public road, rather than a private drive. We ask the county and <br />cities of Long Lake and Orono to provide the following attributes for this option. <br />2 <br />
