MAIL <br /> Attention Chair Ressler <br /> Orono City Planning Commission Members <br /> 2780 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Re: 1700 Shoreline Drive Subdivision Proposal <br /> Our File No.: 61540.1 <br /> Dear Chair Ressler and Planning Commission Members: <br /> I represent Barbara Burwell. <br /> This evening, the Orono Planning Commission will review a proposed six-lot development for the <br /> property owned by the Irwin Jacobs Estate located at 1700 Shoreline Drive. <br /> Reprinted below is a Table Summary from Jeremy Barnhart's January 19, 2021, memo to the <br /> Orono Planning Commission. <br /> LR-1A Required Area Provided Area <br /> (acres) (acres) Required Width(feet) Conforming <br /> Buildable Gross Buildable Gross @BSL (ciOHWL/75 <br /> Lot 1* 0.5 2.0 1.08 3.25 200 225'225 Yes <br /> Lot 2* 0.5 2.0 1.06 3.67 200 213/213 Yes <br /> Lot 3* 0.5 2.0 2.20 4.69 200 216/222 Yes <br /> Lot 4 0.5 2.0 2.04 2.07 200 200 Yes <br /> Lot 5(Lake) 0.5 2.0 2.78 3.09 200 257.16 200 Yes <br /> Lot 6 0.5 2.0 2.12 2.12 200 216 Yes <br /> The Table Summary highlights the basic problem with the proposed development. <br /> There are 18.89 total acres, but only 11.28 buildable acres. Less than 60% of the approximate <br /> 19 acres are buildable. <br /> This Jacobs Estate land presents challenges for development. There are wetlands, two lakes, <br /> bluffs, and existing neighbors. It is no one's fault, but a seven-lot development does not work <br /> and a six-lot development does not work either. <br /> 150 South Fifth Street I Suite 1200 I Minneapolis, MN 55402 <br /> P:612-877-5000 F:612-877-5999 W:LawMoss.com <br /> 6733724v1 <br />
