Karl Berg <br />January 31,2002 <br />Page 3 <br />Applicable Code Sections The Orono Zoning Code sections which apply to this project include the <br />following: <br />Section 10.52: Special Requirements for Rezoning in the Highway 12 Corridor Study Area. <br />The requirements are summarized as follows: <br />a) Minimum site area for rezoning is 5 acres; applicant must demonstrate the proposal is <br />compatible with surrounding uses. <br />b) Access and circulation plan required, must be consistent with City transportation goals and <br />policies; must dedicate necessary right-of-ways. <br />c) Sewer and water must be available (it is, but connection charges apply). <br />d) Stormwater Management Plan is required. <br />e) PUD development required for any proposal requiring zoning changes <br />f) Building design and construction standards enumerated as to exterior finishes, outbuilding <br />compatibility with original buildings, no temporary buildings <br />g) Development Agreement required <br />Section 10.53: Planned Unit Development, lliis section defines the PUD review and approval <br />process including application and submittal requirements. Refer to Section 10.53 Subd. 8A(4) on <br />page 359-6 thru 359-9 regarding the necessary General Concept Stage submittals. <br />Section 10.45: B-6 District Standards. These standards provide information regarding site <br />plaruiing requirements and other topics. <br />Copies of the noted Ordinance sections are attached for your use. <br />Preliminary Kev Issues There are perhaps two key issues which the City staff sees as critical in <br />development of this site: <br />A. Stormwater Management. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District will likely require that <br />stormwater runoff rate control ponding be developed on the site. As far as stormwater quality <br />management is concerned, two existing stormwater ponds adjacent to Highway 12 about 1/4 <br />mile east of your site, are owned and controlled by MnDOT. The probable developer of the <br />50 acres east of the City Facilities complex plans to expand those ponds to meet their <br />stormwater quantity and quality management needs, and Orono intends to assist them as <br />necessary to obtain MnDOT permits/approvals for use and expansion of those ponds to serve <br />their development as well as your parcel and the one to your immediate east.
