Stormwater plan. I believe the stormwater comments provided in Engineering Review #1 <br />have not yet been addressed (Sent to you on 12.23.24). No hydraulic / hydrologic calculations <br />have been provided to confirm sizing of the proposed on-site basin meets NPDES <br />requirements (or MCWD requirements). I have attached the previous comments for your <br />information, as I believe they are still applicable. Please provide this information. <br />2. Fire. The Fire Chief noted that the 70’ fire turn around anticipated with the construction of <br />the road (see road plan attached) no longer meets the fire turn around standards due to the <br />gate with the proposed garage condo construction plan. The proposed gate obstructs the <br />turn around. The gate can be removed, moved back, or the property to the north can be used <br />as the turn around, however a new plan should be submitted to ensure the fire code turn <br />around standards are met. <br /> <br />As far as the application timing, I don’t think it would be productive to present the final plat and the <br />preliminary plat concurrently. The new city council has not reviewed or weighed in on your <br />application and will not see it until February 24th at the soonest. In order to process a final plat <br />application, all plans must be finalized and must address the comments brought up by staff, any <br />amendments from the Planning Commission and/or City Council. Final mylars must be approved by <br />the county and submitted to us, required fees must be paid and the development agreement <br />drafted and ready for execution in order for the final plat to be placed on council agenda for <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Regarding permitting, once we are closer to a final plan set, you can apply for the necessary building <br />permits. We will not release the permit until the final plat is approved by the City Council and <br />recorded. There is some staging timing that needs to be considered due to the construction of the <br />road. <br /> <br />Let me know if you have further questions as we work through this project. <br /> <br /> <br />Laura Oakden <br />Community Development Director <br />City of Orono <br />Direct: 952-249-4602 <br />2750 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 <br />www.oronomn.gov <br />89
