I had an informal site visit with Dave Zetterstrom with Hennepin <br />County. He felt that the access onto Brown Rd. would be a safe and better situation then <br />adding additional traffic to Willow Dr. and the hidden intersection of Willow Dr. and <br />Brown Rd. <br />The access for lot one would follow the King Street Road, which currently serves one <br />property, 775 Brown Road. Dave Zetterstrom commented that this would be a safe <br />entrance for both properties and could be positioned within 30-40 feet to either side of <br />King Street. My proposal would include grading the southern portion of the King Street <br />entrance to allow foi the additional driveway. The grading would be limited to avoid <br />removing any significant trees. The other option would be to move the driveway <br />approximately 500 feet to the south across the street from another driveway. This is not <br />the best solution because it would require the removal of more significant trees. The <br />King Street Road was originally intended for access to both of these properties. <br />It is our understanding that the City of Orono wetland map is what is to be used for <br />density calculations for lot area. We have delineated the wetlands and are using these <br />delineations for our calculations. Please inform us what is appropriate. I have left a <br />message for Jim Hafner at MCWD. He was out of town until Monday 8, and I hope to <br />meet with him this week. <br />The NURP pond is sized to accommodate the area of all six lots to the southerly portion <br />of the property. Please note that the size of the NURP pond includes calculating the <br />acreage for all six lots. The area for lot four is approx. 2.34 total acres. The size of the <br />NURP pond is approx. .18 acre. The delineated wetland is appro.x. .22 acre. The net <br />420 Upland Lone North • Plymouth, MN 55447 • Phone (612) 476*4459 • FAX (612) 476*4459
