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 subdivision request would require the following approvals; <br />1. A Conditional Use Permit 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 />2. Road width variance and a variance to allow the road to be developed at less than the <br />minimum requirements. The Subdivision Code requires a minimum paved width for <br />property serving 7 or more sites to develop the road at a 28' width. <br />3. 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 />4. Public vs. Private Road; Apple Glen Road is a public road. The Comprehensive Plan <br />suggests roads in the rural portion of Orono be developed as private roads. However, the <br />road would be an extension of a public road, for maintenance purposes it may be appropriate <br />to continue the entire road as public. <br />The primary difference is the way the road has been proposed to be constructed. Apple Glen <br />Road is a City Street with urban sections (curbing). The proposed road would be developed <br />with rural sections. <br />A private road would be owned and maintained by a homeowners association. <br />Sketch Plan <br />The City Council and Planning Commission have reviewed the proposal as part of the Sketch Plan <br />review process. Please note the attached Minutes (Exhibits J and K). <br />The Cit>- Council recommended to the property owner the City of Orono has no intent to rezone the <br />property from the two acre standard. The Council has indicated they would consider developing the <br />site as a PRD and make a provision for sewer. <br />Planned Residential Development <br />The RR-IB zoning district allows, by conditional use permit, the property to develop as a Planned <br />Residential Development (PRD). The purpose of a Planned Residential Development is to enhance <br />the appearance of neighborhoods through preservation of natural open spaces, to counteract the <br />1^2550 Charles Van Eeckhout <br />120 Brown Road South <br />Subdivision <br />B 21/00 <br />pagt~3
