Dahlstrom Development LLC #02-2789/02-2840 *Stonebay* Final Development Plan Review October 18,2002 Page 7 Interior Building Site Layout. Do the plans indicate sufficient open space between buildings? Do each of the townhomes have sufficien. yard area, and are they oriented to take advantage of view lines? Is there sufficient parking provided for each unit, and is the on-street parking handled appropriately? Recreation Amenities. New Sheet C2.1 (Exhibit C-1) indicates the shaded areas proposed as private recreation areas meeting the RPUD requirement for 10% of the site in private recreation areas. The designated areas are within the commons areas of the project and include 3.3 dry buildable acres. Since the dry buildable site acreage is 26 acres, it appears the 10% requirement is met.? Note that a tot-lot is proposed along East Lane and a fire pit is shown at the rear of the West Lane townhomes. Applicant should be asked to provide a calculation and diagram to show which 10% of the site is being proposed as meeting the 10% requirement. Entry Monument . Details of the entry monument are shown on new Sheet L7.1 (Exhibit C- Does Planning Commission have any comments? Use of MnDOT Pond Property for Kellev Parkway & Pond Expansion. Orono is submitting on Dahlstrom’s behalf a request for MnDOT permits for construction of Kelley Parkway and construction of the stormwater pond within existing MnDOT right-of-way. Those permits are likely to be processed and approved by MnDOT in early 2003. Concurrently, Orono is submitting a request to MnDOT for reconvey'ance to the City of the por^-nn of MnDOT right-of-way to be used for Kelley Parkway. This reconveyance would invef c deeding to MnDOT the portions of newly created pond that will be outside of L' J)OT’s current right-of way. An issue lor future discussions betw-een MnDOT, Orono and Hennepin County (w hich will ‘inherit’ the pond when New Highway 12 is completed) is who will maintain the stormw ater pond. It is being expanded to serve as a regional pond, benefitting the roadway, the Dahlstrom development, and additional areas upstream. Our expectation is that Orono will ultimately be responsible for maintaining the pond Development Phasing. The applicants have provided a phasing plan that establishes Phase 1 as construction of Kelley Parkway, the stormwater pond, and a westerly grouping of rambler and rivo-story townhomes. Future Phases with no distinct timeframe include (.^) the North Lane rambler townhomes; (B) the East Lane/East Circle rambler and two-stcr\' townhomes; (C) the four ‘Villas’ accessing directly from Willow Drive; and (D) the Lofts condominiums. Additionally, development of each of the two commercial outlets might be considered as separate phases, with no specified timeframe given. i
