The current plan shows 71 standard stalls plus 4 handicap stalls. The minimum requirement is met, and a few stalls could technically be eliminated. Applicants are concerned about parking due to the daily high patient turnover for orthodontics, and would prefer to not lose stalls. Again the issue is loss of green space to serve those stalls. Stormwater Management - Easements Needed Applicant proposes to discharge stormwater to the regional ponding area proposed by Dahlstrom Development LLC to the east along Highway 12. The applicants proposal relies heavily on that pond being developed, since no stormwater storage facilities are being provided on site. This is a viable plan as long as the regional pond is constructed in a timely fashion. Sec City Engineer Tom Kellogg’s comments also in relation to stormwater management (Exhibit D). The applicants will potentially have to obtain easements over the properties to the east based on their draft utility plan. The stormwater management issues may ultimately pose some scheduling problems for the applicant. Stormwater Drainage Trunk Fee This new development will be subject to the City’s recently enacted Stomi Water Trunk Fee. At the current 2002 Fee Schedule commercial rate of $6,480 per acre, the site will be charged for 2.0 acres or a total fee of $ 12,960. Trails and Park Dedication The proposed site plan indicates the location of the existing City/County trail along OCB Rd. which Orono wants to remain as-is in its current location. An easement for that trail will be defined and dedicated prior to the sale of the property to the applicant. The proposal indicates a 6' sidewalk within the Kelley Parkway right-of-way, leaving a 4' green boulevard to Kelley and a 10 ’ setback to parking on-site. The City has not established standards for sidewalk width along Kelley Parkway. A six-foot sidewalk may be adequate; however, we have 8' in areas along Highway 12... The sidewalk/trail proposed along Highway 12 south of the property appears to be located south of the road ditch. This sidewalk should be north of the ditch, tucked up against the south property boundary, and 8' in width to match those walks further east along 1 2. In reviewing the Park Dedication ordinance, staff notes that in 1998 the ordinance was amended to require that all planned unit developments are subject to park dedication. While this language is in the subdivision code, the current proposal is not a subdivision, hence the Council will have to interpret whether this application is subject to park dedication. The ordinance reads as follows: #02-2782 Professional Properties of Orono May 17, 2002 Page 5 of 7
