GlTYofORONO 4IM:RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 4619NO. II. south in ihe City of Long Lake arc or will be mostly commercially developed. Properties located west of the project are commercially developed as the Orono Shopping Center and Conoco gas station. Stormwater management will be provided by storm drains discharging to the e.xisting stormwater pond located adjacent to the property. The pond is owned by MnDOT and has been designed with the capacity to handle stormwater flows from the property. In addition to the City of Orono, MnDOT and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District have approval authority over the stormwater management plan. Vehicular access to the property will primarily be via a private road entering Brown Road north of the stormwater pond. This is the ideal primar>' ingress/egress to the property because a signalized intersection is planned for Highway 12 and Brown Road as part of the Highway 12 re-routing process. The City intends that this signalization be completed concurrent with completion of development of the property. Secondary access to the property will be via a right-in right-out access directly to Highway 12 at the boundaiy between proposed Lots 1 and 2. At this location a full access to Highway 12 is not appropriate because of proximity to the Brown'12 intersection. The Orono Comprehensive Plan docs include a future service road connection between Brown Road and the properties to the west. The service drive has been designed to allow for a future connection to the west via the northwest comer of the ofTice parking lot. This would connect with e.\isting future road Outlots existing within the plats of Sugar Woods and East Willow Woods, with potential future service road connections to a location directly across 12 from Brimhall Avenue or continuing west to Willow Drive. Such future connections would likely reduce the amount of through traffic affecting the senior housing visitor parking areas. Page 4 of 13 i
