CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 54 34 The property is guided in the 2000-2020 Orono Community Management Plan (CMP) for single family residential use at a density of 2 units per acre. The proposed development with single family homes is consistent with the provisions of the CMP, and is consistent with surrounding development. The property is located within the MUSA and will be served with city sewer and city water. 4. Proposed Lots 2 and 5 contain existing homes that will remain as part of the plat. Also as part of the plat, an existing rear yard setback variance for Lot 5 will be eliminated with the new lot line configurations. A home previously existed on Lot 1 but has recently been demolished. Proposed building pad locations shown for Lots 1, 3 and 4 are depicted in the preliminary plat at 50' x 60' with the exception of the building pad on Lot 4. The northwest corner of the 50' x 60' pad on Lot 4 is eliminated to accommodate the required 20' structure setback from a wetland buffer. 5. Proposed Lots 3 and 4 are back lots that do not abut a public right-of-way but will be accessed via Outlots A and B respectively. Lots 3 and 4 meet pertinent back lot standards. Outlots A and B each meet the 30' width code standard. 6. The only wetland on the site exists at the western end of the property, minimally impacting proposed Lot 4. This wetland is classified as "Manage 1" requiring implementation of a 35' wetland buffer and a 20' structure setback from that buffer for a total of 55' of setback. The proposed building pad and driveway locations meet the 55' total required wetland setback. A buffer establishment and maintenance covenant will be required. 7. The property lies within 1,000' of North Arm and Crystal Bay of Lake Minnetonka requiring conformance with the hardcover regulations of Section 78- 1288 of the Shoreland Overlay District. The applicant has provided existing and proposed hardcover calculation worksheets for all five lots indicating no hardcover variances are necessary under the proposed plan. 8. _ While the CMP Parks Plan indicates a future trail along North Shore Drive and Shadywood Road, it does not indicate which side of the road the trail is planned for but it does indicate the trail would be on the shoulder or separated. The Park Commission will be asked to review and make a recommendation regarding whether dedication of a trail easement will be required. Because dedication of actual land for park purposes is not required at this location, a Park Dedication Fee in lieu of land per City Ordinance would be appropriate. Page 2 of 9
