7. 8. The DNR has stated it is opposed to the line under the trail. Long term maintenance appears to be the main issue. Staff has met with representatives from the DNR and have determined the DNR would issue a permit for extending the sewer along Brown Road to the south. They have indicated this is the preferred location for a sewer line to cross the Luce Line Trail. 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 necessar)' for the City to acquire the road and open it as a public road. A Homeowner's Association shall be created for the maintenance of the private road and drainage structures within the development. The owner of the 130 Brown Road property, southwest of the development and south of Tmct G, has access from the private driveway within Tract G and shall become part owner of a private road. Sketch Plan The City Council and Planning Commission have reviewed the proposal as part of the Sketch Plan review process. Please note the attached Minutes (Exhibits J and K). The City Council recommended to the property owner the City of Orono lias no intent to rezone the property from the two acre standard. The Council has indicated they would consider developing the site as a PRD and make a provision for sewer service. Conformity to Zoning District Standards and Comprehensive 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 dr>' buildable areas of loi.s 1,2,3 and 4 are limited and arc 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. Lots 5,6 and 7 are located south of the proposed private road and be subject to setback standards for the RR-1 B zoning district. They would be developed with an average size close to two acres. They would be a transition betw een the higher density to the north and the RR-IB two acre south of the Luce Line Trail. All lots appear to provide suitable building sites based on sewer service being available to the property. Lot 7 is very wide and has ver> little lot depth. The property is bounded to the north by Long Lake Creek and the South by the Luce Line Trail. 1 he rear yard setback is along the Trail. 1 he front yard setback is 50', but Long Lake Creek is defined as a tributary stream and is within the shoreland protection area. A 75' setback for structure and hardcover is required the same as they apply to lakeshore areas. More detailed grading plans are required. The surveyor shall indicate on the plan set the OHWL of the Creek and 75' structure setback.
