Zoning File #1583 <br />August 16r 1990 <br />Page 3 <br />Please Review Exhibit E. In the recent Sketch Plan reviews for <br />this property, the City staff has failed to note that there are no <br />designated wetlands on this property. The limitations on the site <br />remain the 75' setback line and the 931.5' flood plain elevation. <br />Review Exhibit I. The applicant proposes the filling in of the <br />flood plain and matching excavations in other sections of the flood <br />plain. This type of land alteration not only involves review by the <br />MCWD, but the DNR and Ih.j Corps of Engineers and will require separate <br />conditional use per^l■•^• * “'-<3 variance application with the City of <br />Orono. <br />In reviewing ExhiL^c I you will also note that applicant has <br />attempted to address the hardcover excesses by installing catch basins <br />and dry wells designed to treat run-off before entering lake. <br />Applicant notes that hardcover from all drives have been directed to <br />the catch basins. Note the drainage arrows designated on drainage <br />plan define drainage paths to catch basins. <br />Staff Connients <br />First, staff would like to compliment the applicant for <br />responding to the concerns addressed in the original sketch plan <br />review (Exhibit F). We have before us a far more realistic proposal, <br />very similar to the one approved in 1982 by the City for three units. <br />The following issues must be addressed to provide direction for the <br />filing of formal plans of development: <br />1. Access/sewer easements. The City will ask the applicant to <br />contact the three involved property owners. Depending upon <br />the individual responses, the City will be obligated to <br />commence condemnation if necessary. Responses of the <br />neighbors must be received prior to the filing of the formal <br />application so that the City may commence the condemnation <br />at the time of filing the application. <br />2. Approved densities. What level is reasonable for the site? <br />a. In 1982 the City approved three units. The exception <br />was included in these considerations. The majority of <br />Lot 31 is located within the 75' setback area. The <br />inclusion of 31 does not help the density. Remember <br />gross density is at 2.76. The area of Lot 31 does not <br />increase the buildable area of the restricted building <br />envelope. <br />b. Would you approve three units if hardcover was reduced? <br />j How does the Planning Commission accept applicant's <br />counter proposal with the catch basin/dry well <br />treatment of run-off? Will it affect your decision?
