eshoreland district or right-of-way, unless the council finds the existence of one of the <br /> following: <br /> a. Unusual physical features of the property itself or of the surrounding neighborhood such <br /> that development as a RPUD will conserve a physical or topographic feature of importance to <br /> the neighborhood or community. <br /> b. The property is directly adjacent to or across a public street from property which has been <br /> developed previously as a RPUD or planned residential development and will be perceived as <br /> and will function as an extension of that previously approved development. <br /> c.The property is located in an area where the proposed development provides a transition <br /> between a commercial or industrial area and an existing residential area or on an <br /> intermediate or principal arterial as defined in the comprehensive plan. <br /> d. The property contains steep slopes or a substantial number of significant trees that could <br /> be preserved through the clustering of buildings or other design techniques not generally <br /> allowed by the existing zoning district." <br /> I do not believe that any of the exceptions qualify for the property to be rezoned to RPUD. <br /> None of the flexible zoning avenues work to the favor of your clients. To subdivide,you will need the Council to <br /> accept your practical difficulties for a variance, either for lot area and width,or from the standards applied to <br /> • the flexible zoning regulations. Staff will not recommend support for any variance. <br /> Please feel free to contact me at 952.249.4626 or by email at jbarnhart@ci.orono.mn.us if you have any questions <br /> on the above requirements. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br /> .Q.,.<7 C44Mr- <br /> Jeremy Barnhart,AICP <br /> Community Development Director <br /> 0 <br />
