In August 1990, the City of Orono approved the plat of Senn Orono Addition, <br />creating Lot I (3240 Watertown Road), Lot 2 and Outlot A (combined 3220 Watertown Road). <br />The property contains protected wetlands and a protected tributary creek. The plat was approved <br />two years before adoption of Orono’s Shoreland Ordinance (Zoning Code Section 10.56) and one <br />year prior to enactment of the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). Both of these <br />subsequent regulations are applicable to the future development of the properties, and each has <br />significant impacts on their buildability. Neither lot has ever been built on. <br />As a result, applicants are proposing a complete lot line rearrangement to allow relocation of the <br />proposed driveway (which was never built and now would not be ^>proved in its 1990 <br />configuration due to Shoreland restrictions) and to allow for slight revisions in potential house <br />locations. The new plat is subject to *fix>nt lotA>ack lot* area and setback standards which were <br />also not in effect in 1990. <br />The application is incomplete pending a grading plan and design for the driveway and creek <br />crossing, which requires a number of variances. It is staffs intent to review the variances and <br />subdivision corKuirently, as they rely on each other for viability. <br />Staff Recommendation: Briefly review, provide comments, then table pending receipt and <br />City Engineer review of requested driveway and creek crossing plans. ______ <br />List of Exhibits <br />A • ^plication <br />B - Existing Plat: Senn Orono Addition <br />C • Survey/site plan including staff sketch <br />D • Aerial photos <br />E • Wetland delineation excerpts <br />F - Septic systems information <br />G • Plat m^ <br />H - Property owners list <br />Information requested but not submitted as of 1/14/04: <br />• Grading plan and design for driveway and creek crossing
