MEMORANDUM 9-29-09 Work Session <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Mike Gaffron, Asst. City Administrator 4 <br /> Date: September 29, 2009 <br /> Subject: City Property Behind Long Lake Fire Station#1 - Information Only <br /> Parcel Data: Tax ID#34-118-23 32 0051 <br /> Legal Description: Outlot A, Willowfire Addition <br /> Total Lot Area: 3.42 acres <br /> Net Area Not Encumbered by Easements: 1.68 acres+ <br /> Attachments: <br /> A- Copy of Final Plat Drawing with Notations <br /> B -Preliminary and Final Plat Resolutions <br /> C -Airphoto,Tax Information <br /> This parcel platted as Outlot A is part of the property purchased by Orono for the Long Lake Fire <br /> Station. Outlot A was platted separately as excess land not needed for the Station. <br /> Easements Approximately half of Outlot A is encumbered by drainage and/or utility easements <br /> which contain linear wetlands (creek beds); a stormwater detention pond; an area of wetland <br /> mitigation compensating for wetlands that were filled to accommodate the Station; and a 40' <br /> utility corridor containing existing sewer and water lines. <br /> Guideplan The property is guided for single-family residential use at a density of 2-3 units per <br /> acre. A comprehensive plan amendment would be needed to develop the parcel at a higher <br /> density or for attached dwelling use. <br /> Re-plat Required As an Outlot, the parcel must be re-platted before it can be used for <br /> residential or other uses. <br /> Access Fire Station Drive is a public dedicated road owned and maintained by the City of <br /> Orono. Access to Outlot A would be via this road. <br /> Stormwater Management The stormwater detention pond just south of the utility corridor was <br /> sized to serve the Fire Station, but may or may not have capacity to serve development on Outlot <br /> A, depending on the nature of that development. Some pond expansion area is available south of <br /> the utility corridor; but it is unknown whether there is adequate expansion area to serve <br /> development of Outlot A without additional ponding north of that corridor. <br /> Park & Stormwater Trunk Fees Due The Park Dedication Fee and Stormwater & Drainage <br /> Trunk Fee were deferred for Outlot A when it was platted, with the intent that those fees would <br /> be collected at such time the property is developed. <br /> Adjacent Vacant Property A privately-owned vacant 1.7-acre parcel exists directly north of <br /> Outlot A and extends westward to Willow Drive, with approximately 110 feet of frontage on <br /> Willow. <br />
