A Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Residential Development - This would allow the property to develop at a two acre densiw using cluster development and preservation space. Road width variance and a variance to allow the road to be developed at less than the minimum requirements. Tract G is planed 40' in width where the City requires a minimum planed 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 mere sites to develop the road at a 28' width. The subdivision will require a road crossing of a City Protected Wetland and locating a NURP pond within 26' of the City protected wetland. The City Council and the MCWD shall approve any wetland alteration on site. The property is located outside of the Metropolitan Urban Services Area (MUSA). A MUSA amendment shall be approved by the Cit>- Council and the Met Council to provide sewer to the site. 5.The DNR has expressed concerns w ith the proposed sewer extension to the south end of the project, with the intent of the developer and City to extend sewer under the Luce Line Trail. Mr. Van Eeckhout would install sewer to the south boundarv' to provide service for the Fox Ridge Sewer Project area. Fox Ridge and Mr. Van Eeckhout's property are divided by the Trail. The DNR has stated it is opposed to the line under the trail. Long term maintenance appears to be the main issue. 6. 7. A small portion of the Tract G is platted to the center of Brown Road. Hennepin County has indicated it would require the west 33' be dedicated to the County for right-of-way. Tract G is owned by Mr. John Dunn. Mr. Dunn is not a co-applicant. He would be required to sign the plat documents and dedicate easements over the lot in favor of the City of Orono. The easements would be necessary for public utility and drainage purposes. The standard road easement would be required should it become necessary for the City to acquire the road and open it as a public road. ^2550 Charles Van Eeckhout 120 Brown Road South Subdivision 11/15/99 f>ijge-2
