The standard requirements for Developers Agreement and Financial Security in relation to site improvements are hereby waived. It is the Council's intent in approving this preliminary plat to accommodate the needs of the citizenry of Orono, Long Lake and Medina by providing a site for a new Long Lake Fire Station; however, because of the location of the site in a rural residential neighborhood, it is imperative that the character of that neighborhood be preserved to the greatest extent possible. Ancillary elements of the Fire Station use such as lighting and signage could have negative impacts on the neighborhood if not developed in a subdued, low-key manner. Therefore, the applicants are advised to work with City staff in ensuring that the lighting, signage and other elements of the Fire Station use are developed in a manner sensitive to the surrounding area.
