LANDFORM <br />April 17,2002 <br />Michael Gaffron <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />PO Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />RE: Orono Village PUD Concept Plan. Commercial Site Plan, Sketch Plat, Rezoning <br />and Land Use Guide Plan Amendment Submittal <br />Dear Mr. Gaffron, <br />On behalf of our client, Landform is pleased to submit this application for PUD concept <br />stage plan, commercial site plan, sketch plat, rezoning and land use guide plan <br />amendment for property located at the northwest comer of the intersection of Willow <br />Drive and Highway 12. <br />We are requesting approval of a PUD concept stage plan/site plan and sketch plat for <br />the Orono Village mixed-use development. The plan includes a mix of 235 housing <br />units, including low-density townhomes north of Kelley Parkway, rowhouses south of <br />Kelley Parkway and the Lofts in the southwest corner of the site. We are also <br />proposing approximately 38,000 square feet of commercial development on the <br />southeast comer of the property. Our proposal includes construction of the planned <br />Kelley Parkway in the first phase of development. <br />We are requesting approval of a reguiding from Commercial to Urban Residential <br />Medium Density (SFR/MFR) for approximately 7.22-acres and a reguiding from Urban <br />Residential Medium Density to Commercial for 0.49-acres of this 51-acre site to allow <br />development of the rowhouses and the Lofts south of Kelley Parkway, townhomes <br />north of Kelley Parkway, and commercial In the southeast comer of the site, as shown <br />on the attached plans. The land use guide plan amendment is also required to <br />accommodate the proposed location of Kelley Parkway. We have shifted this street <br />slightly north to accommodate the topography, wetlands and align with the existing curb <br />cuts. <br />The proposed Orono Village project would require a rezoning from Single Family Rural <br />Residential (RR-1B) to Residential Planned Unit Development District (RPUD) and <br />Highway Commercial District (B-6) with a Planned Unit Development (PUD) overlay <br />district. The rezoning would be required in order to comply with the existing land use <br />plan and the requested reguiding. If the City approves the requested reguiding, <br />rezoning, sketch plat and PUD concept stage plan/site plan, we would prepare the <br />required PUD master plan and plat applications for development of the site. <br />•SO BUTLf ft NORTH BUILDING SlO FIRST AVCNUC NOfl <br />OFFICC: BlXaS2.B070* FAX: •t2.2Sj7BGr
