8. 9. 10. CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 4 8 2 8 configuration and location to maintain a pedestrian corridor that is separated from Old Cr^’stal Bay Road. An easement will be required for this e.xisting trail. Sidewalks/trails v ithin the Kelley Parkway and Highway 12 rights-of-way are subject to appro\ il by Orono and MnDOT respectively. Stormwater management is an overriding concern with development of this site, since ponding is not proposed within the property. Stormwater management is proposed to be provided by stormwater catch basins and storm sewer lines which would discharge to a proposed storm sewer through properties to the east, then eventually outletting into a regional stormwater pond to be located appro.ximately 1/4 mile east of the property. This regional pond is proposed as an expansion of an existing MnDOT stormwater pond by Dahlstrom Development LLC to serve their proposed 50-acre development surrounding that pond. The timing of expansion of the MnDOT pond may not coincide with applicants intended schedule for the medical office. In addition to the City of Orono, MnDOT and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District have approval authority over the applicants’ stomnvater management plan. The City Council finds that the development of this critical comer property will set the standard for the quality, character, context and compatibility of development desired by the City for Kelley Parkway. WTiile Orono has not created specific design guidelines for commercial or residential development within the Highway 12 corridor area, minimum standards for site design and building construction have been incorporated into the applicable zoning codes. In order to ensure that development of the property will result in an expression of Orono’s open space character and image, City Council will herein establish minimum Concept Plan Approval conditions to be met by the developer in order to gain Development Plan Approval. The City Council finds that the proposed rezoning and proposed development of the site for a medical office building is appropriate for the property, will not have negative impacts on the surrounding properties when all Concept Plan Approval conditions are met, and is in keeping with the goals, policies and philosophies of the City.
