COUNCIL REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION WHONO DATE: May 3,2000 ITEM NO: / ^ Department Approval: Name Ron Moorse Title City Administrator Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: City Administrator’s Report Item Description: Revised Site Plan andi^ovenants Related tu the Fleming Trail Addition Property In 1993, as part of the annexation of the Fleming Trail Addition property into Long Lake irom Orono, the City approved a site plan and covenants to allow 13 lots on the property. These covenants are attached. Since that time, a portion of the Fleming Trail property has been designated for acquisition by Mn/DOT as right-of-way for the Highway 12 upgrade project. In response to the right-of-way acquisition, the City of Long Lake has redesigned the Fleming Trail subdivision to cluster the 13 lots on a smaller area of the property, which has enabled the preservation of a substantial amount of open space at the northeast comer of Orono Orchard Road and Orono Oaks Drive. Amended Covenants The revised site plan requires approval by a majority of the Council, and also requires two changes in the covenants that are currently in place on the property. The changes in the covenants are as follows: 1 . The current covenants require a front yard or street setback of 35', which is consistent with the City’s one acre development standards. The proposed site plan has a 30' front yard setback. This setback is consistent with the City’s one-half acre development standards. 2.The covenants prohibit vehicular and pedestrian access to Orono Oaks Drive from the Fleming Trail Addition. The proposed site plan has vehicular access from Orono Oaks Drive. Additional Covenants When the Council discussed the revised site plan at its April 27 work session, the Council directed that the areas shown as park/open space and the ponding areas and wetland areas be permanently dedicated as such. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to approve the revised site plan for the Fleming Trail Addition, attached as preliminary concept “A”, and to revise the covenants on the property to enable a 30’ front yard setback, to enable vehicular access to Orono Oaks Drive, and to require that the areas shown as park/open space and the ponding areas and wetland areas be permanently dedicated as such; and to direct amended covenants to be drafted to reflect the changes, and to authorize the Mayor to sign the amended covenants. ----I jm~ rttn.
