MN 55416 <br />The Planning Commission <br />City of Orono <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Orono, MN 55323 <br />RE: 2580 Fox Street <br />JM7T <br />i-•y ri '..f r- <br />-*? J <br />\ « <br />y <br />} <br />Dear Commissioners: <br />We are the purchasers of the 10.23 acre site Iccated at 2580 Fox Street (“Property") from John B.A. <br />Idstrom. We propose to move into the existing home and homestead the properly upon closing later <br />this summer. The Properly is a long narrow parcel The north part of the Property is where the <br />house is located, and the north pan contains approximately 6 acres. The south portion contains <br />approximately 4 acres. Both parts are serviced by an existing driveway that also serves the Cassotti <br />property at 2560 Fox Street. We are proposing a simple subdivision or replat to allow us to sell the <br />South 4 acre parcel. <br />PLAN A <br />Plan A is to incorporate the existing driveway and easements into the subdivision so that ail three <br />lots are served by the existing driveway. This plan has no major wetlands impact, unless the <br />driveway is reguired to be upgraded. This plan also causes no tree removal. <br />PLANB <br />Plan B is to relocate the driveway along the eastern border of the Property. This driveway would <br />presumably have the greatest impact on the wetlands and would probably require an outlot. This <br />Plan B also requires tree removal and extensive grading. The estimated wetland disturbance is <br />approximateiy 4000 sq. Ft. If a full road and cul-de-sac are required, this 4000 sq. Ft. Would <br />increase to 18,000 sq. Ft. <br />PLANC <br />We have approached the owners of the private cul-de-sac west of and adjacent to the Property, <br />which is known as Fox Run to see if two adjacent driveways to the Property can be accessed from <br />Fox Run. That appears unlikely as the owners are not interested. There would be a minor amount <br />of wetland crossing but this does reduce overall hardcover as some of the existing driveway would <br />be eliminated. In the event Fox Run becomes a public street, then Plan C becomes a better option. <br />6327 Cambridge St., St. Louis Park, MN 5S416 (612) 929-8825
