n <br />fi <br />Other considerations for approval from the City of Orono: <br />We understand that the ability to create more dense neighborhoods is limited in <br />the City due to sewer/water access and it is a goal to create more of these <br />opportunities. This proposal conforms to this area of Orono and would have a <br />neighborhood feel similar to the density that surrounds this area of Orono and <br />Long Lake. This new neighborhood would provide the opportunity to create lot <br />ffires at 14,000 square feet and would fit Avell into the surrounding area. <br />This proposal offers a private recreation outlot area and it is our recommendation <br />that a trail be created along side the easement for the city water from Long Lake. <br />This can be used for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. This would provide a <br />connection fi’om the Hackberry neighborhood to the west to the more dense area <br />of Glendale etc. in Long Lake to the east. This would tie together an extensive <br />pedestrian/bicycle corridor. <br />We appreciate your consideration of our proposed plan. We have addressed many of the <br />comments by staff and Planning Conunission. During this approval process we have also <br />encountered the change in the Wetland Ordinance and have done our best tc comply. It <br />appears that without the recent changes this proposal would meet the requirements of the <br />City of Orono and the MCWD. We arc asking for a relatively minor compromise to the <br />new ordinance *nd hope that the benefits of this new neighborhood offset these requests. <br />mmmmm• i”.>4:? .f.-:■ <br />'iV'flhTi'mtl lil p-Jt* I Ill'll ^111
