Sketch Plat We have included a sketch plat for City review and approval. The sketch plat is simply intended to provide the City with some idea of how the property will be developed. Orono Village is proposed as a mixed-use PUD with common lots, private drives, private streets, private sidewalks. Town Square and Village Green that will be maintained by the association. The townhomes would be platted as envelope lots surrounded by a common lot, the rowhouses would be platted as condominiums and the loft buildings would be platted on a single lot. The commercial buildings are also proposed to be platted as condominium lots with shared parking and access. Summary Landform is pleased to submit this application for approval of the mixed-use Orono Village development. We request City Council approval of the PUD concept stage plan/site plan and sketch plan, as well as City Council approval of the land use guide plan amendment and rezoning to PUD contingent upon filing the final plat. We also request that the City of Orono extend the effect of the subdivision approvals pursuant to Minnesota State Statutes Section 462.358, Subd. 3c. which states that no amendment to a comprehensive plan or other official control shall apply to or affect the use, density, lot size, lot layout or dedication or platting required or permitted by the approved application. The Orono Village development is a multi-phase development that will be constructed over a period of 3-5 years. Consequently, we request that the City extend the PUD and other approvals for five years as allowed by State Statutes. 650 BUTLER NORTH BUILDING 510 FIRST AVENUE NORTH MINNEAPOUS.
