Office (612) 826-6764; (Fax) 826-6767. <br />December 6,1999 <br />City of Orono <br />Paul Weinberger <br />PO Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Dear Mr. Weinberger, <br />This is the second letter from the DNR, Trails & Waterways Unit in regards to the application #2550 <br />submitted by Chuck Van Eeckhout to the City of Orono Planning Commission for a subdivision and <br />conditional use permit for a Planned Residential Development for property located at 120 Bro^ <br />Road South. Please include this letter in the project file documenting the state’s concerns. <br />The proposed subdivision will create 7 building sites on 14 acres. Lot # 7 runs along the entire <br />southern boundary of the development and borders the Luce Line State Trail. The State of <br />Minnesota, Department of Natural Resources, Trails & Waterways Unit manages the multiple-use <br />recreational Luce Line State Trail. <br />There is a sewer line extension proposed in the development plan. As it exists on the preliminary <br />plat map dated 10-14-99, the sewer runs from north to south and intersects the trail east of Brown <br />Rd. S. Trails & Waterway’s preferred route for the sewer extension would be to follow the Brown <br />Road South right-of-way. This would minimize interference to the trail right-of-way and concentrate <br />utility crossings at road intersections. <br />We also support the City of Orono ’s position that Lot # 7 be set aside as a conservation outlot. This <br />would benefit both the landowners and the trail users by providing a screening of vegetation between <br />the housing development and the trail. <br />Please note the above concerns in the project review and keep us informed of future plans for this <br />development. <br />Thank you, <br />Suzann Willhite <br />Meuo Trails & Waterways Specialisi <br />cc: Martha Reger <br />D.NR Information: 612-296-6157. 1.800-766-6000 • TTY: 6l2-296-.'i-lS4. 1-800-6.^7-3929 <br />An EqujI Opportunity Employer <br />Who Valuer Di'ersiiy <br />PrinU’J on Recycled Paper C»»nijininy j <br />Minimum ol MIS Po^i-Con>umer Wjmc
