Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br />C-l 1 <br />•. .*1*L <br />SUBJECT:City of Long Lake, Minnesota <br />Orchard Pond Addition <br />MFRA #7085 <br />Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />Included herewith are materials supporting a proposal for Rezoning and <br />Preliminary Plat of the subject property, referred to as Orchard Pond <br />Addition. Said proposal also requires a revision of the Comprehensive Plan and <br />M.U.S.A. Line in Orono. The 25 acre parcel is currently zoned RR-IB (Rural <br />Residential Single Family District - minimum 2 acres) and guided <br />appropriately. The proposed zoning is R-IA (One Family Residential District <br />1 acre minimum). <br />As is well known, the subject property is owned by the City of Long Lake <br />and was formerly the site for the city’s waste water treatment facility. The <br />treatme'-t facilities and pond were abandoned in the 1960's. Currently, the <br />property has an MWCC Lift Station on the portion noted as "Exception" on the <br />plan drawings. The balance of the site is unused except for a small part in <br />the southwest corner which is used by the city for storage of various <br />materials. A 16" force main runs from the lift station to Orono Orchard Road <br />along the entrance road alignment. <br />The City of Long Lake has wanted to annex and develop this oroperty for <br />some time, and in July of this year, agreement was reached between the Cities <br />of Long Lake and Orono which will result in this property becoming part of Long <br />Lake. In their part of the agreement, the City of Oreno has agreed to review <br />and approve this development prior to deannexation by Orono and annexation by <br />Long Lake. Hence, this submission. <br />The development calls for 13 one-acre lots, accessed primarily by a public <br />street (designated Orchard Pond Trail) that will closely follow the current <br />entrance drive in both grade and alignment. Orchard Pond Trail may eventually <br />be extended north of the Burlington Northern Railroad. Two lots will orient <br />toward Orono Orchard Road with building envelopes located on the high ground <br />between the road and Long Lake Creek. <br />An Eauai Opportunif/ Empiovcf
