1 <br />• i-' <br />comply with the requirements of the underlying zoning district. The density requirement is 1 <br />dwelling unit per 2 acres. Proposed is 7 lots on 13.7 acres, thus not meeting the density requirements <br />for the RR-IB zoning district. The Planning Commission had recommended the applicant reduce <br />the number of lots to 6 to maintain the required 1 dwelling unit per 2 acre density. <br />Summary of Request <br />The City of Orono has received a Preliminary' Plat application for a seven lot residential development <br />for property located at 120 ^••own Road South. The request would require the following approvals: <br />1. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />A Conditional Use Pennit for a Planned Residential Development -- This would allow the <br />property to develop at a two acre density using cluster development and preservation space. <br />Road width variance and a variance to allow the road to be d^ v^eloped at less than the <br />minimum requirements. Tract G is platted 40' in width where the City requires a minimum <br />platted width for a private residential road to be 50'. Although the plat indicates a 28' paved <br />width the applicant has proposed a 24' width road. The Subdivision Code requires a <br />minimum paved width for property serving 7 or more sites to develop the road at a 28' width. <br />The property is located outside of the Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA). A MUSA <br />amendment shall be approved by the City Council and the Met Council to provide sewer to <br />the site. <br />A small portion of the Tract G is platted to the center of Brown Road. Hennepin County has <br />indicated it would require the west 33' be dedicated to the County for right-of-way. <br />A Homeowner's Association shall be created for the maintenance of the private road and <br />drainage structures within the development. The owner of the 130 Brown Road property', <br />southwest of the development and south of Tract G. has access from the private drivew ay <br />w ithin Tract G and shall become part owner of a private road. <br />Revised Plan <br />The RR-1B zoning district allows a property to develop as a PRD as a conditional use. Under the <br />PRD the City can establish .setbacks for each of the lots. I he dry buildable areas ol lots 1,2,3 and <br />4 arc limited and arc between 1/2 acre to I acre diy buildable. The lots also are similar to the lots <br />located nc'rth of the development in the City of l.ong Lake. The proposed setbacks shown on the site <br />plan indicate a 35' front yard setback. 10' side yard setback and a 30' rear setback. The established <br />setbacks are similar to other lots in Orono that are zoned 1/2 acre to 1 acre in size. <br />The revised plan has maintained the lot arrangement for Block 1. The Planning Commission had <br />requested the lots be platted w ith an average size of about 1 acre, however to maintain the best <br />building sites, and to allow larger lots to the south in Block 2, the lots have remained similar to those <br />lots previously reviewed by the Planning Commission. They are consistent to the development to <br />the north in the City of Long Lake. <br />Block 2 has provided 3 lots with an average size of about 2 acres. The lot originally planned tor <br />wnerc Outlots C and D are located has been eliminated from the plan. Outlots C and D would be <br />platted as conservation outlots. Previously the lot were found to have adequate building sites.
