( r LANDFORM September 18.2002 Michael Gaffron City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway PO Box 66 Crystal Bay. MN 55323 RE: RPUD Development Stage Plan, Preliminary Plat and Final Plat Request for StoneBay development to be located at Willow Drive and Highway 12 Dear Mr. Gaffron. On behalf of our client, Landform is pleased to submit the above-referenced applications for property located at the northwest comer of the intersection' of Willow Drive and Highway 12. The plans for the RPUD Development Stage Plan, Preliminary Plat and Phase I Final Plat are consistent with the RPUD concept plan approval granted by the City Council on August 26, 2002. At that meeting, the City Council also made findings that the requested rezoning from RR-1B to RPUD was appropriate and would be final at the time of RPUD development plan and plat approval. In accordance with the developer ’s purchase agreement, we request that City Council approval of the rezoning and RPUD development stage plan be contingent upon filing the final plat. The RPUD development stage plan is requested for the property north of Kelley Parkway. At this time, no development is planned south of Kelley Parkway. That property will be platted as two outlots. At some future date, development will be proposed south of Kelley Parkway and the applicant will be required to submit the necessary applications for site plan review. As always, our proposal includes construction of Kelley Parkway in the first phase of development. We are proposing a total of 167 homes, as approved in the RPUD concept plan. The area is planned with a mix of 56 rambler townhomes, 47 two-story townhomes and 64 loft units. The RPUD development stage plan complies with all ordinance requirements and the conditions in the concept plan approval. Furthermore, we have met with City staff to identify methods for making some of the units more affordable and we will continue to work with staff toward this end. It is my understanding that this Hern will be scheduled for Planning Commission review on October 21, 2002 and City Council action on November 12, 2002. We request that a joint Planning Commission/City Council workshop be scheduled for early October to allow both the Planning Commission and City Council an opportunity review the application and detailed drawings prior to taking action on the request. •SO BUTLCR north BUtLOiNQ 510 FIRST AVCNUC NORTH MlNNCAROLfS.
