Mr. Van Eeckhout has revised his plan to not create a lot south of the Creek. This eliminates any concerns of placing hardcover and grading within 75' of a protected waterway. The DNR, Trails and Waterways Unit had requested the developer dedicate a conservation easement along the south boundary of the property. By not developing the southern lot and platting it as a conservation outlot the buffer area between development and the Luce Line Trail will be preserved. Revised Plan: The RR-1B zoning district allows a property to develop as a PRD as a conditional use. Under the PRD the City can establish setbacks for each of the lots. The dry buildable areas of lots 1,2,3 and 4 are limited and are between 1/2 acre to 1 acre dry buildable. The lots also are similar to the lots located north of the development in the City of Long Lake. The proposed setbacks shown on the site plan indicate a 35' front yard setback, 10' side yard setback and a 30' rear setback. The established setbacks are similar to other lots in Orono that are zoned 1/2 acre to 1 acre in size. The revised plan has maintained the lot arrangement for Block 1 . The Planning Commission had requested the lots be platted with an average size of about 1 acre, however to maintain the best building sites, and to allow larger lots to the south in Block 2, the lots have remained similar to those lots previously reviewed by the Planning Commission. They are consistent to the development to the north in the City of Long Lake. Block 2 has provided 3 lots with an average size of about 2 acres. The lot originally planned for where Outlets C and D are located has been eliminated from the plan. Outlets C and D would be platted as conservation outlets. Previously the lot were found to have adequate building sites. Summar>' of Request: The City of Orono has received a Preliminary Plat application for a seven lot residential development for property located at 120 Brown Road South. The request would require the following approvals: 1.A Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Residential Development — This would allow the property to develop at a two acre density using cluster development and preservation space. 2.Road width variance and a variance to allow the road to be developed at less than the minimum requirements. Tract G is placted 40' in width where the City requires a minimum platted width for a private residential road to be 50'. Although the plat indicates a 28' paved width the applicant has proposed a 24' width road. The Subdivision Code requires a minimum paved width for property serving 7 or more sites to develop the road at a 28' width. 3. The property is located outside of the Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA). A MUSA amendment shall be approved by the City Council and the Met Council to provide sewer to •^2550 Charlts Taw Eeckhout 170 Brown Road South Subdivision 1/19/00 pagi-2
