Reliance Development Company <br />February S. 2004 <br />Mr. Mike OafTron <br />City ofOrono <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Oronok MN 55323 <br />R£: Stonebey Site Plan <br />Dear Mike. <br />Landform has lent over to you with this letter the revised site plan for Stonebay Marketplace <br />thtt we prepared after hearing your comments at our last work session. There were two <br />thinp we did a bit diffetenlly and I wanted to have a chance to explain them to you. <br />First, for the bank/officeAreUil building on Lot I (north of Walgreen't). we had discussed <br />angled parking and a one-wray driveway along the front of the building. Our site plan shows <br />90 degree parking and two way traffic. I would like to propose that we try it this way. Our <br />strong belief is that very few can will be turning right from Willow Drive and then right <br />again into Lot 1. The traffic conflicts would be minimal. If there was a problem, we would <br />restripe the lot for angled parking, narrow down the “throat" of the driveway and install <br />signage to indicate the driveway is one-way. The decision to make that change could rest <br />solely with the City of Orono. We would also be willing to escrow funds to ensure the work <br />would be done when you requested it. <br />Second, rather than flip-flop the tnsh enclosure area we added additional screening on the <br />wjst side of the building. If we flip-flopped that area, the trash compacter would end up <br />^jac«t to the pharmacy area. We can ’t move the pharmacy area because of the location of <br />the drive thro. It’s all interconnected. We thought the best course would be to try and <br />accomplish the goal of hiding the trash enclosure area by moving the driveway ofTof Kellv to <br />the west and adding additional screening. <br />1 look forward to your comments. <br />Sinaerely. <br />Reliance Development Company.
