Zoning File #1691 November €, 1991 Page 2 In approximately 1982 the entire parcel consisted of 25 acres. one-half acre was divided off and is shown as the exception on the plat. The 1/2 acre parcel was conveyed to the HWCC for the lift station. Appropriate easements were granted over the 16" force main that extends southward to Orono Orchard Road. The force main appears to follow predominantly the path of the existing driveway that serves the MWCC lift station and former sewer pond site. The property is currently used by the City of Long Lake for outside storage, both permanent and temporaryr similar to Orono’s use of the Orono sewer pond site. Based on the directives in the Settlement Agreement (Exhibit E) entered into by both Cities, the applicant has been advised to seek rezoning to 1 acre. When staff was contacted by the surrounding property owners, they questioned the rezoning to 1 acre and were concerned that Long Lake could further subdivide in the future. Staff responded that with the conventional plat the property would be completely restricted from future development of open space areas as may possibly be the case with a PRD. The agreements between the two Cities also suggested that covenants were to be filed against the Chain of Title of the property once again reaffirming the development controls of the City of Orono (review Exhibit D). There were several other issues raised in the review memo prepared for the Planning Commission that were unfortunately not addressed because the Planning Commission refused to discuss the current proposal because it included a rezoning application from the 2 acre to 1 acre zoning. The Planning Commission denied the rezoning application finding ‘he rezoning to be in complete conflict with the directives .-i the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Members should review the minutes of the October 21st meeting for specific comments of the >lic in attendance. Based on the conceptual direction given staff by the four Council members in attendance at that meeting, staff has prepared a denial resolution for the rezoning phase of Applicatio; #1691. A public hearing has been scheduled at the Planning Comirission's meeting of November 21st at 7:00 p.m. to once again review comprehensive land use Application #1691 that will now include a conditional use permit for a Planned Residential Development of 13 units based on the current RR-IB zoning. Please review the enclosed letter to David Squire (Exhibit P)r planning consultant for the City of Long Lake. Please note the applicant was given the opportunity to withdraw the application and to apply the original fee against the conditional use permit. Squire advised that the City of Long Lake at a recent meeting requested action on the rezoning application. Please note staff has recommended the tabling of the comprehensive application because we failed to receive the necessary hydraulic information to determine ordering high water mark of pond and flood plain elevation. We have received confirmation from the Department of Natural Resources that the Ordinary Bigh Water Mark has been determined for the sewer pond/lagoon area and the necessary hydraulic information to
