2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. The property is guided by the 2000-2020 Orono Community Management Plan for single family residential use at a density of 2-3 units per acre. The property contains a total of approximately 6.17 acres gross area, or 5.88 acres of land exclusive of the 33’ of right-of-way used for Willow Drive North. The proposed plat creates a 2.04 acre lot (Lot I) to accommodate the proposed new Long Lake Fire Station; a 3.42 acre outlot (Outlot A) to be retained by the City of Orono for potential future residential use upon replatting; and dedication of right-of-way for a new public road to serve the subdivision. The plat will also dedicate 33' of right-of-way for existing Willow Drive North. The plat will be served with municipal sewer and water service extending westward from Long Lake at the east boundary of the site. An easement corridor 40* in width bisecting Outlot A will be dedicated to accommodate the sewer and water extension. There are no City-protected wetlands located on the property. A preliminary wetland delineation has been completed for the property and has confirmed that linear wetlands protected under the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) exist along the southerly and easterly borders of the property, such wetlands being approximately 0.58 acres in area. The net property area exclusive of Willow Drive right-of-way and exclusive of WCA-protected wetlands is 5.30 acres. Proposed Lot 1 contains approximately 1.90 acres of non-wetland area and 0.14 acres of wetland. Proposed Outlot A contains approximately 3.05 acres of non wetland area and 0.37 acres of wetland. In order to accommodate the proposed Fire Station, approximately 0.20 acre of wetland, primarily in Lot I, will be filled. Mitigation meeting or exceeding the required 2:1 ratio for this filling is planned to occur within Outlot A south of the existing drainageway, by creating new wetland from existing upland. This plan is subject to final approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Stormwater ponding to serve the Fire Station will be developed in Outlot A, north of the existing drainageway and south of the proposed sewer and water easement corridor. The area planned for this proposed pond is large enough to allow some expansion to serve future development within Outlot A. If the future Page 2 of8
