Michaef Gaffron Page 2 Re: Orono Village Revisions June 24. 2002 We have reduced the number of units In this development from 235 homes to 168 homes. The area north of Kelley Parkway is planned with a mix of 59 rambler townhomes, 43 two-story townhomes and 66 loft units. The proposed density In this area is six units per acre, which is consistent with the City of Orono Community Management Plan. We are continuing to request a rezoning from RR-1B to RPUD for this area. The RPUD concept plan complies with ail ordinance requirements and the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Urban Residential Medium Density land use classification identified in the Community Management Plan. Our proposal continues to include construction of the planned Kelley Parkway in the first phase of development. The revised alignment of Kelley Parkway is consistent with the alignment shown in the Community Management Plan and allows us to reduce the amount of wetland impact. The sketch plat shows the townhomes platted as envelope lots surrounded by a common lot and the loft buildings would be platted on a single lot. As noted earlier, the property south of Kelley Parkway would be platted as two outlots to be developed at a later date. Upon City approval of the requested rezoning, PUD concept plan and sketch plat, we would prepare the required PUD master plan and plat applications for development of the site. Any City comments on the PUD concept plan and sketch plat would be incorporated into the PUD master plan and plat, which would be submitted for City review and approval in August of this year. We continue to request that City Council approval of the rezoning, PUD concept stage plan and sketch plan be contingent upon filing the final plat. It is my understanding that this item will be scheduled for Planning Commission review on July 15, 2002. We request that a joint Planning Commission/City Council be scheduled for the week of July 8*’ to allow both the Planning Commission and City Council to review the revisions prior to taking action on the request in mid-July. As requested by staff, we hereby grant an additional 60-days to the City review period for the rezoning, PUD concept plan and sketch plat. 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.
