Michael Gaffron Page 2 Re: SlooeBay October 16. 2002 On behalf of our client. Landform is requesting that the development fees (park V . dedication, impact fees, etc.) be phased with development. As we will be final platting this project in three or more phases, we are requesting that the fees due at final plat stage be paid when the final plat is filed for each phase. This is consistent with what other communities require and would result in payment of the fees when the homes generating the demand for these City services are approved for construction. We are proposing to develop only the land north of Kelley Parkway. We do not have any immediate plans to develop the commercial/office property south of Kelley Parkway and, therefore, we are platting that area as two outlots. We have prepared a sketch plan showing how the outlots could be developed simply to ensure that the two outlots would be developable. While we are not proposing any development on the property south of Kelley Parkway, the City has requested copies of this sketch plan for their files. Copies of these sketch plans are provided for informational purposes only and are in no way to be construed as a request for approval or a plan for development on the commercial property. It is my understandirtg that this item will be scheduled for Plaruiing Commission review on October 21, 200‘1 and City Council action on November 12, 2002. Landform respectfully requests City Council approval of the RPUD development stage plan, prelin^inary plat and phase I 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 Viilage development is a multi-phase development that will be constructed over a period of 3-o years. Consequently, we request that the City extend the RPUD and other approvals for five years as allowed by State Statutes. As always, our development team is available to meet with City representatives at anytime to answer questions. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Steve Johnston or me at 612.252.9070.
