Home My WebLink Aboutre: driveway request To: Chairman Relley and Planning Commission Members � Mayor Peterson and City Council Ron Moorse, City Administrator From: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator Date: June 9, 1992 Subject: 2110 Sugarwood Drive - Request to Realign Entrance Drive List of $xhibits A - Applicant' s Addendum B - Gustafson' s Report Dated 6/5/92 C - Site Plan Approved with Building Permit D - Hardcover Proposed with Building Permit E - Hardcover Proposed with Driveway Realignment F - Realigned Driveway Proposal G - Topographic Mapping of Sugarwoods Plat Description of Reqeiest Applicant seeks to vary from standards adopted at the time of the conditional use permit approval for the planned residential development of Sugarwoods. Resolution #2652 required "each lot to be served by a single driveway or one curb cut at a 2Q' maximum allowed width. Driveway width is to be measured parallel to the loop road, Sugarwood Drive. The portion of the drive located within the front street setback shall be placed in a straight alignment from the loop road and shall not exceed a width of 20' within the front street setback area." At the time of the issuance of the building permit, the issue of a realigned drive was discussed and applicant was advised of the need to apply for special permission of the City for any change to the standards approved for the Sugarwoods plat. The applicant also noted that the house was planned for the fall parade of homes and that it was imperative for a building permit to be issued as soon as possible. The building staff was advised that the only way a building permit could be issued was for the applicant to provide a site plan that met the standards of the PRD. Staff accepted the site plan with the building permit (Exhibit C). Unfortunately, during this review staff noted that the proposed paved drive exceeds the 20' allowed width through the 50' street setback. If applicant does not receive approval of the realigned drive, it will be necessary for the applicant to realign the portion of the drive that exceeds the 20' required width. Please review Exhibit A. Mr. Bonner has reviewed many of the physical conditions unique to the property suggesting a need for special consideration. Staff has also enclosed the original topographic map done for the Sugarwoods plat, Exhibit G, note the severe drop in topography to the south of lot. Zoning File - 2110 Sugarwood June 9, 1992 Page 2 As with all Sugarwoods special requests, the City does not charge for these special reviews and it is the obligation of the applicant to present the information to the Planning Commission. It is staff's understanding tl�at William Bonner will present this request to the Planning Commission. If there is a lot that needs special attention, it is clearly Lot 6, Block 4. It is the desire of the developer of Sugarwoods to retain the original retaining wall and preserve the mature basswood tree. The temporary accesses created on the east and west side of the property lines were developed first to provide a corridor for the utilities and secondly, the most extreme west access provides desired siting distance for trucks entering and exiting the property. The most eastern access that provided the corridor for the utilities required the removal of three mature trees that are to be replaced with the final grading and landscaping. The most western access corridor required removal of underbrush. Options of Action Approve applicant' s proposal for a curved, realigned drive or Approve site plan submitted with building permit or Require drive to be altered to meet 20' width throughout entire depth of 50' street setback area. ch • -�� /� �i� J i�/j%ii'/��i�'�-\ / � / � � � / � � '� � �� -- w_.i i / �i��/i i / \ \ � � �/ �/ � � � !

Mabusth Building and Zoning Administrator City of Orono Box 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 Re: Cudd Construction Driveway Alignment Request Our File No. 139-1334 Dear Jeanne: We have reviewed the request by Cudd Construction to construct a curved driveway at 2110 Sugarwood Drive. The proposed driveway alignment is different than that allowed by the required standards set forth for Sugarwood's PRD. The standards require a straight alignment which is at right angles to the street. The proposed alignment begins at right angles to the street, but then curves around an immense Basswood tree and angles to the residence currently under construction. Due to the topography of the property, the vertical alignment of Sugarwood Drive and the e�cisting boulder wall along the property frontage, the proposed driveway location is the most feasible. The proposed alignment and location will minimize disruption and should be easily constructed. We recommend that the requested driveway alignment be approved. However, there are several issues related to constructing the driveway that need to be resolved. There is an existing catchbasin at the proposed driveway location. The frame and casting on the catchbasin is the City standard R3067V with a B618 concrete curb transition into the surmountable curb, typical of the rest of Sugarwood Drive. The e�cisting frame and casting and approximately 20 feet of concrete curb and gutter must be removed to facilitate the driveway construction. The frame and casting should be replaced with a Neenah Foundry Company R- 3290, with a Type V grate. The concrete curb should be replaced with the typical surmountable curb and gutter. Please contact me at this office if you have any questions. Yours very truly, BO ESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC. ,��► J- Shawn D.
