1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. FINDINGS The property is located within the RR-IB Single Family Rural Residential Zoning District requiring a minimum of 2 acres of contiguous dry buildable land within each buildable lot. The property contains a total of 50+ acres of land. Lots 1 and 2 each meet the minimum size requirements for lots in the RR-1B zoning district. Lot 1 meets the 3-acre minimum area requirement for a back lot per zoning code Section 11.31 Subd. S. Both lots have been found to have adequate and suitable soils and approved sites for on-site septic treatment facilities. Driveway access for Lot 1 and Lot 2 is via Outlot A with an opening from Watertown Road. The driveway access serving Lots 1 and 2 will cross a designated wetland that is protected by City Ordinance and WCA regulations. I1ie City Council finds that the wetland fill to create a driveway is necessary to preserve a property right of the applicant, and that the crossing will have minimal impact on the wetland and floodplain when properly constructed and mitigated. Single family residences can be constructed on Lot 1 and Lot 2 without the need for further variances. The Orono Planning Commission has recommended approval of the proposed plat and wetland variance. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon one or more of the findings noted above, the City Council of the City of Orono hereby approves the preliminary plat for Boyer Building Corporation per preliminary plat drawings by Mark Gronberg, Land Surveyor, Coffin & Gronberg, Inc., Land Surveyors dated 9/12/02, revis^ 9-30-2002, subject to the following conditions: 1. oubdivider shall pay the standard Park Dedication Fee for the one new lot and Page 2 of 6
