STONEBAY MARKETPLACE NARRATIVE <br />We are proposing PUD concept stage plan, PUD general plan, commercial site plan, <br />preliminary plat, and final plat for Outlot A, StoneBay. <br />Lot Area & Width <br />The required minimum lot area for a B-6 district is 2 acres and the minimum lot width is <br />100 feet. We are proposing to create two lots with this subdivision. Walgreen's will <br />then own their own lot, which is preferable to both the developer and Walgreen's. <br />Although we have three buildings we are only proposing to subdivide into two lots <br />instead of three to keep the lot sizes as large as possible. <br />Setbacks <br />A month ago we brought a site plan to meet with City of Orono staff that complied with <br />all of the setback requirements, while maintaining our current building area. At that <br />time, staff suggested that they would rather have us provide additional green space on <br />the east side of the property then meat the setback on the west side of the property. <br />Therefore we made the change to our plan to accommodate staff comments. The <br />adjoining property currently belongs to MNDOT and therefore is being considered a <br />side street, requiring 35 ‘ building setback. However, in the future it is believed that this <br />pond will bocomo property of tho City of Orono, which would make this property lino an <br />interior side. If this was an internal side property line, then wo would only bo required to <br />have a 10-foot setback. <br />Site Drainage <br />We are proposing to fill in the ditch along Highway 12 and install storm sewer to convey <br />this water to tho pond. This will allow us to sod from the south edge of this <br />development to tho right-of-way and create a very aesthetically pleasing commercial <br />development. <br />Building Height <br />Tho majority of tho retail buildings are 24 -8" high with the gable peak extending to 33’« <br />4.5" high. Tho Walgreen's building has a roof elevation of 28'-3" with the gables <br />extending to 32'-6". The majority of both buildings meet tho 30' maximum requirement, <br />with exceptions at gable peaks.
