MEMORAND UM ADDEND UM 9-14-09 Work Session <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Mike Gaffron, Asst. City Administrator <br /> Date: September 14, 2009 <br /> Subject: Comp Plan Update & Met Council Issues: Developable Parcels Inventory <br /> Attachments: <br /> A - Developable Parcels Inventory - Sorted by Map Key Number <br /> B - Developable Parcels Inventory - Sorted by Parcel Net Acreage <br /> C - Developable Parcels Inventory - Sorted by Zoning District <br /> D - Developable Parcels Inventory - Sorted by MUSA vs Non-MUSA <br /> E - Developable Parcels inventory - Excluding 32 Parcels - Sorted MUSA vs Non-MUSA <br /> F - Developable Parcels Inventory Maps: <br /> Northwest Orono Northeast Orono <br /> West Central Orono East Central Orono <br /> Navarre <br /> The attached inventory sheets and maps have been created to assist Council in discussing future <br /> development opportunities and limitations in Orono. They will also be useful as we move forward in <br /> discussions with Met Council to help illustrate the current status of development in the City, and why it <br /> is difficult to meet Met Council expectations for density and affordability. <br /> The maps are adapted from Comp Plan Map 3B-4, Remaining Developable Parcels, which shows all <br /> properties with a net acreage twice the zoning district minimum lot area after wetlands are excluded. <br /> The inventory assigns a map key prefix and number based on parcel location in one of 5 quadrants. <br /> Parcels are also identified by their Hennepin County PINS number and street address. <br /> "Net Acreage" is simply defined as the gross acreage of each parcel minus the estimated area of <br /> wetlands on the parcel, based on the City's wetland base maps and topography. <br /> The number of existing residences is shown, plus an estimate of the number of additional homes that <br /> could be developed on the property via subdivision. These are my estimates based on the site zoning <br /> and taking into account factors such as site shape and layout, topography, wetlands, lakeshare setbacks, <br /> and a variety of other factors that are often noted in the "Comments" column. <br /> See back of this sheet for some key statistics about our remaining developable lands. <br />
