Members of the City of Orono Planning Commission Ms. Jeanne Mabusth August 31, 1989 Page Four 1. It is not clear from the Developer's Revised Plat whether the lots bordering Leaf Street and Fox Street will have direct access to these streets. We would like the Developer to clarify that double access will not be permitted, dnd that no variances will be sought for double access. The lots should derive access exclusively from the proposed arterial roadway. 2. To insure that all state and federal laws are complied with, the City should require the Developer tc indicate wt-ether any of the ponds and low areas located on the Proposed Development come within the jurisdiction of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the United States Department of Fish and Wildlife, or the Army Corp of Engineers. 3. We note that Lake Minnetonka is 3 to 4 feet below its normal level. It is reasonable to assume that this has an effect on the water level of the ponds and low areas located on the Proposed Development. The City should ascertain that the Developer's Revised Plat takes account of the current. low water level. 4. .1 a Developer should, as required, provide the City with a SLJ,!3 Water Management Plan and a Soil Erosion Control Plan. Sir( - runoff to Lake Minnetonka flows through the property .:•f one of us, we wou:.d like to review these plans as soon as they are submitted to the Planning Commission. 5. On -site septic testing should be completed to the Planning Commission's satisfaction on each of the proposed lots. 6. The Developer should provide the City with a vegetation map, indicatir7 the location of existing shade trees and proposed buffer trees. The City should insist on the reasonable pre-ervation oi: all existing trees, and should require, in addition to landscape buffering, that new shade trees be planted in the cpen areas of the Propcsed Development.
