Concept / Sketch Plan Review October 5, 2020 ORONO CROSSSINGS Page 4 of 5 Site Access, Pedestrian Circulation and Parking Vehicular access from public right of way to the proposed development will occur via a proposed road access to Kelley Parkway. The development will be providing a 4’ walkway connection to every unit’s front door. The 4’ walks will then connect to either; a 4’ private walkway network within the development or to a proposed 5’ public walk along Willow Drive or to an existing public walk on Kelley Parkway. The development will have ample parking to support the future residents and their guests. The plan as proposed provides the following parking: Parking Summary Off-street Guest 10 Public on-street No parking allowed Kelley Pkwy, Willow Dr or Wayzata Blvd Frontage Private Driveway (2/home) 70 Private Garage (2/home) 70 Total Available Parking 150 Stalls (4.3 stalls / unit) Grading The existing site area will be re-graded to shape in the proposed roadways, lot configurations, common area and all required stormwater management storage. The site will be graded to match elevations at the site perimeter and to capture site drainage as able. The elevation changes necessary to provide drainage within the site and to maintain maximum walkway and driveway slopes, does mean there will be situations where some private walkways will require private steps to make connections. The steps will be provided by means of 7” maximum height risers with railings when more than 1 step is needed. Sanitary Sewer and Watermain The proposed development would connect to public sanitary sewer and watermain within Kelley Parkway and extend public utilities within the development under the private roadway. The public utilities would be contained within an outlot that will be covered by public drainage and utility easement. Stormwater Management The development site falls within the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Management Organization (MCWD) boundary; therefore, the project will be subject to stormwater management regulations of the MCWD and the City of Orono. The site abuts an existing regional stormwater management basin. It is our understanding that the basin has been designed to accommodate some stormwater management for the development site. Any additional stormwater management required under current regulation will be provided onsite and could include best management practices such as: rain gardens, filtration basins, underground storage or other approved system.
