Zoning File #1555 October 5, 1990 Page 2 of 5 Exhibit L - Paul Smith's Report - Determination of Park Dedication Fee Exhibit M - Wetlands Map Exhibit N - Crading/Utility Plan Exhibit 0 - Preliminary Plat Overall Review of Application - The application involves a subdivision of a total of 9 lots, 3 within the City of Minnetonka Beach, and 6 within the City of Orono. Lots 3 through 7 within Orono are residential and shall be served by individual accesses off of Old Beach Road. Lot 8 has been created along an existing B-4 zoning line and satisfies all B~4 zoning standards. It is staff's understanding that Lot 8 will be deeded to the Freshwater Foundation as well as Outlet A, the wetlands outlet, so that Foundation can retain control over the future use of the wetlands area. Review Mr. Jessen's letter (Exhibit J). Jessen advises that if the Foundation does not build upon Lot 8, that it will be offered to the University along with Outlot A. The City will protect the outlet by requiring flowage and open space easements oyer the entire wetland area. In the original preliminary plan reviewed at the July 16, 1990 public hearing, the applicant proposed excavations and filling within a portion of Minnetonka Beach with compensatory excavations within the City of Orono's wetland areas. This phase of the application has been withdrawn. The Planning Commission of the City of Minnetonka Beach granted unanimous approval of the preliminary plat at their September 17, 1990 meeting. PlCdse review the Orono Planning Commission minutes of September 17, 1990 for the Planning Commission's unanimous recommendation o^ the plat as amended. Each of the residential lots meets th required standards of the LR-lB zoning district. Although the is extensive wetland involvement within the subject property, each of the lots well satisfies the dry buildable contiguous above the 932 wetland elevation as noted above. Lot 8 meets all standards of the B-4 zoning district with 1.48 acres of dry land. In reviewing the grading plans (Exhibit N), note that there is adequate area within each defined building envelope. You should also note all proposed elevations for building sites are well beyond the 26' setback from the wetlands elevation at 932. The City has asked that each building site be provided with a basement floor elevation because of the depth of the sewer lines to serve the houses off Old Beach Road.
