CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL parking areas are existing, or are proposed to be tied to existing. 15. Building Height. The building height as shown on the plan is 29 feet. The developer recognizes that the building may not be higher than 30 feet. 16. Hardcover. By virtue of the RPUD zoning, per 78-1701(4)(a) the property is assigned to Hardcover Protection Tier 4, which allows up to 50% hardcover of the gross lot area. The proposed hardcover is 55%, due in part to the complex residential use, and need for onsite circulation. The Council finds flexibility is appropriate given the high intensity uses surround the property (Industrial and Wayzata Blvd to the south, Condominiums and Public Works facility to the North.) If the parcel was not zoned RPUD, there would be no hardcover limitation due to the site distance from lakes. 17. Trail, and sidewalks . The sidewalk along Kelley Parkway from the west terminates near the NW corner of the site. This sidewalk should be continued to the NE corner of the site. A trail along the south property line is anticipated as part of the Stonebay project. Preliminary Hennepin County plans for the upgrade of Wayzata Boulevard include a trail along the north side of Wayzata Boulevard from Willow Drive to Old Crystal Bay Road, within the right of way. The applicants should expect that a trail will be required along their south boundary, with a possible connecting link to Kelley Parkway along the west edge of the stormwater pond. If the trail is to be located on public right of way, the developer should anticipate paying the portion of the trail equal to their front foot costs. 18. 10% Private Park RPUD Requirement. In lieu of the property owner providing 10% of the land in a private recreational component as required by the RPUD zoning, it is suggested that that a recreation fee be paid. 10% of the land value is $41,500. The donation should equal that, less the developers portion of the cost for the trail improvement along the south property line. 19. Stormwater Management. Stormwater management is proposed to be provided on site. The stormwater facilities will be subject to standard drainage easements. In addition to the City of Orono, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District have approval authority over the applicants' stormwater management plan. Final stormwater plans will be subject to the recommendations and approval of the City Engineer. Page 6
