MN 55323 0066 March 13,2003 Mr. Loren Kochnen City of Medina 2025 county Road 24 Medina MN 55340-9790 Dear Loren; We are in receipt of the preliminary plans, dated March 7,2003, for the Keller Estates subdivision which is located west of Willow Drive between the Orono City Limits and the e.xisting Medina Momingside development. This subdivision contains 21 lots on 21.8 acres with typical lot size of 30,000 s.f. The area in the City of Orono directly south of this development is zoned for a 2-acre dry buildable minimum lot size with private wells and septic systems. The higher density of this urban development directly adjacent to the 2-acre zoning in Orono has the potential to be a significant concern. Sewer and Water Ser\ ice Our understanding is that Keller Estates will have municipal water and sewer service. The water supply will be from existing municipal wells in the Medina Momingside development with the potential for a future request to connect both the Keller Estates and the Medina Momingside developments to the Orono municipal water system. There is sufficient capacity in the Orono water s> stem should a future agreement between Orono and Medina be approved for the provision of water service to the Medina Momingside and Keller Estates developments. We also understand that this new development will have municipal sewer with gravity sewer discharging into the existing Medina Momingside sanitary sewer lift station. The forcemain from this lifi station flows south to County Road 6 then west eventually discharging into an Orono gra\ ity sewer in Old Crystal Bay Road. This gravity sewer then flows south and through the City Page 1 of 3 lUcphooe (952) 249-4600 • Fax (952) 249-46K wwweLoroaojBjx.as 1
