FILE #LA24-000028 <br />June 17, 2024 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />is currently improved with a single-family home and accessory building and meets the structural <br />coverage requirement at under 1% currently. While there are building footprints proposed for the <br />vacant lots, the buildings will need to adhere to all required zoning limitations and setbacks. <br /> <br />Section 78-1680 and 78-1700 - Hardcover Calculations: <br />The lot of the south side of Bayside Road is within Tier 1 of the Stormwater Overlay District with <br />a 25% maximum hardcover limit. This lot is currently improved with a single-family home and <br />accessory building, but is well below the limit of 25%. The newly created lots to the north of <br />Bayside Road are not within the Stormwater Overlay District and is therefore exempt from <br />hardcover limitations. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />Conformity with 2040 Orono Community Management Plan. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />guides the properties for Rural Residential and Rural Preserve. The lot currently addressed 4375 <br />Bayside Road is guided for Rural Residential at 1 unit per 2 acres. The proposal would create an <br />additional lot for the 34.14-acre site. This would be calculated at .06 units per acre, well below the <br />density guide from the comprehensive plan. 4246 Bayside Road is guided for Rural Preserve at 1 <br />unit per 5 acres. The proposed change in acreage with a lot line realignment would create a single <br />lot consisting of 14.5 acres. This change is also consistent with the comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />Conformity with Zoning District Standards. The properties to the north of Bayside Road are <br />currently zoned RR-1A One Family Rural Residential (5.0 acre). Lot 1, Block 2, which is south of <br />Bayside Road, has a split zoning between RR-1B and LR-1A. All three of the newly created parcels <br />are conforming to their zoning districts as it relates to size and width. The existing structures of Lot <br />1, Block 2 meet current setback requirements and any new buildings constructed on any lot will <br />need to meet the required zoning district’s standards as no variances have been requested. The <br />properties are outside of the MUSA and are will be served by private sewer and private well. <br /> <br />Relationship to Surrounding Development. The proposed lots are consistent in character with the <br />neighboring lots. Bayside Road is a County road. The surrounding area is unique in that there are <br />a variety of lot sizes from 1 acre in size to over 25 acres. <br /> <br />Conservation Design: The requirements of this conservation design ordinance are meant to preserve <br />and enhance this ecological/aesthetic character are the area. This is often triggered for properties <br />over 5 acres in size or with increased density. The proposed project does trigger the requirements <br />for a conservation design, which have been included in the packet as Exhibit D. Staff finds that the <br />assessment is appropriate. There are several wetlands throughout the properties. A delineation <br />report has been conducted and included in Exhibit E. <br /> <br />Utilities: The properties are not served by City water or sewer. The proposed lots will be served by <br />private well and septic. Preliminary septic locations have been shown on the preliminary plat. <br />served by City sewer and private water supply wells. <br /> <br />Minnehaha Creek Watershed District: The MCWD provided comment that the creation of an <br />additional lot does not trigger their permitting. Erosion control permits will be required for the <br />construction of new homes on the currently vacant parcels <br /> <br />Hennepin County: Hennepin County has provided preliminary comments below: <br />1. We request 45’ half right of way, or 90’ full. Easements could be accommodated (ie 10’) <br />if needed. <br />94
