resolution of denial on a vote of 7-0.
4. Based on the testimony, evidence presented, and files and records, the City Council does
hereby fmd that the proposed 10 lot preliminary plat called Oriole Oaks does not comply
with City Ordinance in several pertinent respects, namely:
A. The Ordinance specifies that the maximum length of a cul-de-sac shall not
exceed 500 feet while the proposed cul-de-sac is approximately 1,000 feet in
length.
B. The Ordinance specifies that the minimum right-of-way width for marginal
access streets is 50 feet while the proposed right-of-way width is 35 feet for
approximately one-half the length of the proposed street.
C. The Ordinance requires a minimum pavement width of 28 feet while the
proposed pavement width is 24 feet.
D. The utility plans as proposed cannot be approved because the Minnesota
Department of Transportation will not issue a permit for utilities on the right-
of-way of Highway 169.
5. The contents of Planning Case File 89-29-S are hereby entered into and made part of the
public hearing record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION

for property located east of Highway 169 and south of West 23rd Street is hereby denied
based on the fmdings set forth above.
