� CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan <br /> 5. The property abuts the Luce Line Trail,which as it traverses Orono has a completely different feel than it does in <br /> Plymouth to the east;a rura] feel rather than a suburban feel. Development of a 50 unit residential building rather <br /> than 9 individual buildings is anticipated to result in a more compact, centered footprint, not as spread out as the <br /> previously approved 9 single family homes. This has a potential to then retain more of the long views to the <br /> southwest enjoyed by trail users, given that those views are now of a freeway and railroad corridor. Due to the <br /> trail crossing of the freeway immediately west of the property, this is one of the very few locations in Orono <br /> traversed by the trail where denser development might not seem out of place. <br /> 6. Residential development at a densiry of 2 or more units per dry buildable acre would be inconsistent with eaisting <br /> and expected residential development surrounding tlle property. While the property in Lon� Lake to the north is <br /> zoned to allow up to 4 units per acre, it has developed in the past with a wide ran�e of lot sizes and at a <br /> substantially lower density than it is zoned for. The above factors suggest that this location lends itself to a low- <br /> inte��sity, low-profile multi-family use such as senior assisted living. The traffic �enerated by this use would be <br /> limited, and the profile of the residents would not require immediate adjacency to most urban amenities. <br /> Therefore,development of such a use at a density of up to 10-15 dwelling units per acre would be appropriate for <br /> the site. <br /> Planned Development Parameters <br /> Land Use Plan Amendment-2009 <br /> In addition to the permitted, conditional and accessory uses allowed within the RR-lB zoning district, this <br /> amendment allows for residential development of Parcel Group 5 at a density of 10-]5 dwelling units per net dry <br /> buildable acre (i.e. exclusive of wetlands and required wetland buffers). Based on the net area being 5.9 acres, this <br /> would allow a minimum of 59 units. The following parameters shall be adhered to for any residential development <br /> of PG-5 at a density greater than 0.5 units per net dry buildable acre of land: <br /> 1. All dwellin� units shall be contained within a single residential building that shall not e�ceed two (2) <br /> stories in height and have a footprint of no greater than 20,000 square feet. <br /> 2. The residential building shall maintain a low-profile and be designed in a residential architectural style that <br /> blends with the natural surroundin�s of the site. <br /> � <br /> 3. The development shall be subject to the PUD development process, and shall be rezoned to RPUD Residential <br /> Planned Unit Development. The entirety of the property shall be so developed as a single PUD project. <br /> 4. The development shall be served with municipal sewer and water. <br /> 5. The development shall adhere to all regulations of the City with respect to wetland protection. <br /> 6. The development shall adhere to the principals of Conservation Design as established through the Orono Rural <br /> Oasis visioning process. <br /> 7. Site development shall be desiQned and constructed in such a manner that projects a rural character as viewed <br /> from Wayzata Boulevard as motorists enter the cities of Orono and Long Lake from the east. <br /> 8. Site development shall be desianed and constructed in such a manner that minimizes the visual impact of <br /> density as viewed from the Luce Line Trail. <br /> 9. Site vehicular access shall be via a single connection to Wayzata Boulevard. <br /> * This table corresponds with Map 3B-7. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-36 <br />
