The current plan shows 71 standard stalls plus 4 handicap stalls. The minimum requirement is met, and a few stalls could technically be eliminated. Applicants arc concerned about parking due to the daily high patient turnover for orthodontics, and would prefer to not lose stalls. Again the issue is loss of green space to ser\ c those stalls. Stormwater Management - Easements Needed Applicant proposes to discharge stormwater to the regional ponding area proposed by Dahlstrom Development LLC to the cast along Highway 12. The applicants proposal relies heavily on that pond being developed, since no stormw'atcr storage facilities are being provided on site. This is a v iable plan as long as the regional pond is constructed in a timely fashion. See City Engineer Tom Kellogg's comments also in relation to stormwater ntanagemcnl (Exhibit D). The applicants w ill potentially have to obtain casements over the properties to the cast based on their draft utility plan. The stom- vater management issues may ultimately pose some scheduling problems for U.c rpp’tca :* Stormwater Drainage Trunk Fee This new development will be subject to the City ’s recently enacted Storm Water Trunk Fee. At the current 2002 Fee Schedule commercial rate of $6,480 per acre, the site w ill be charged for 2 0 acres or a total fee of $12,960. Trails and Park Dedication The proposed site plan indicates the location of the existing Ciiy/Counly trail along OCB Rd. w hich Orono wants to remain os-is in its current location. An easement for that trail w ill be defined and dedicated prior to the sale of the properly to the applicant. The proposal indicates a 6* sidewalk w ithin the Kelley Parkway right-of-way. leaving a 4* green boulevard to Kelley and a 1 O' setback to parking on-site. The City has not established standards for sidewalk width along Kelley Parkway. A six-foot sidewalk may be adequate, however, we have 8 ’ in areas along Highway 12... The sidew alkarail proposed along Highw ay 12 south of the property appears to be located south of liic road ditch. This sidewalk should be north of the ditch, tucked up against the south property boundary, and 8* in w idlh to match those walks further cast along 12. In reviewing the Park Dedication ordinance, staff notes that in 1998 the ordinance was amended to require that all planned unit developments arc subject to park dedication. While this language is in the subdivision code, the current proposal is not a subdivision, hence the Council will have to interpret whether this application is subject to park dedication. The ordinance reads as follows: «02-27a3 rrofmtoul Prvpmtn of Oroaa May 17,2002 rates of 7
