Zoning File 11691 & #1702 November 21# 1991 Page 5 Road and Utilities The plat road is designated at a 50' width with 100' cul-de- sac. The extension road starting at the southwest corner of pad/Lot 12 shall be designated as a separate road outlot and should be developed at the time t'e roadway serves the development on the north side of the Burlington Northern Railroad. Note an access easement must be obtained from the MWCC if this is to be realized. In preliminary discussions with applicant's consultants they were asked to provide Information as to the potential development densities on the north side of the Burlington Northern Railroad. Please review Page 2 of Exhibit A- 1. Nr. Roos advises there have been no plats proposed for the development of this property but there is potential for 16 to 50 units depending on type of development and restrictions by the regulatory agency. The property is zoned R-5r Multiple Family Residential and there is approximately 5.2 acres of dry buildable area. Applicant has realigned the curb cut at Orono Orchard Road in response to an Orono resident's concern for impact of car lights. With the moving of the road it becomes necessary to raise the elevation of the roadway as it approaches Orono Orchard Road to improve sighting as plat road is moved closer to the curve and hill. Final preliminary grading and drainage plans must provide detail on entrance section of road. To be consistnet with Long Lake's policy, the roadway will be public. All municipal utilities will be publicly owned and maintained. Sewer to serve Lot 1, Block 1 will come from Orchard Drive on the south !e of Orono Orchard Road. Water serving all of the lots will also cone fron the Orchard Meadows ^ylat on the south side of the road. Sewer to Pads 1-12 will come from a line extending from the MWCC lift station. The City of Orono will not ask for final engineering plans for the interior plat road or utilities as the improvements will be installed at the time the property is de-annexed by the City of Orono. The Public Hor’ Department has asked that any disruption of Orono Orchard Roa«*' the expansion of municipal services should require the repaxi of the road to its original state. Please review Exhibit O. Note the comprehensive trail system approved by the City shows a trail extending northward along Orono Orchard Road to the south side of the Luce Line Trail. There is no trail extension north of the Luce Line Trail nor was it planned by the City as the northern portions of Orono Orchard Road are surrounded by both Orono and Long Lake properties. Zt may be appropriate for the City to encourage discussions between the cities' Park Commissions regarding a trail connecting to the Luce Line. This issue is raised in response to Mr. Kellenberger's letter, Exhibit T, and other comments raised at the first public hearing on this application.
