7773 <br />To: Mayor Butler FE6111985 <br />Orono Council Members <br />From: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Zoning Administrator LiF ORONO <br />Date: February 7, 1985 <br />Subject: Conceptual Review of Sketch Plan for Residential Development <br />of Long Lake's Property on Orono Orchard Road <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - Soils Map <br />Exhibit B - Existing Site Plan <br />Exhibit C - Plan A <br />Exhibit D - Plan. B <br />The City of Tong Lake plans to develop the old sewer pond <br />property on Orono Orchard Road sometime this year. They have asked to <br />be scheduled before the Orono Council so that they can receive early <br />direction and input from Council. The two sketches submitted for this <br />preliminary sketch plan review are crude and do not attempt to address <br />topographic l_`:nitations, wetlands/drainageway setbacks, building <br />envelopes r.elatier to location of interceptor buildablity of filled <br />lagoon area, etc. Long Lake will be the developer/applicant of the <br />property. Clearly, the proposed densities reflect Long Lake's Zoning <br />Districts - Oro:jo has nothing greater than 3 units per acre and that <br />exists only in la.�eshore residential districts surrounded by existing <br />development of similar densities. <br />Staff Review <br />There is approximately 24.69 acres of land owned by the city of <br />Long Lake within the corporate limits of Oronc. There is <br />approximately 13 to 14 acres of dry contiguous marginal lands that <br />could be developed per current rural standards. The soils make up of <br />the 13+ acres based on Soil Survey by Hennepin County (see Exhibit A) <br />shows predominately Erin soils with the characteristics of high water <br />tables, slow peres and slope concerns. Mound systems would be re- <br />quired and the degree of slope may limit septic installation. A 2+ <br />acre site on this property may not have suitable area for an on -site <br />septic system. <br />The 10+ acres of lagoon, roadways, wetlands etc. is not suitable <br />for on -site septic installation. Staff would concur that if this land <br />is to be developed, the sites should be served by sewer and, if <br />Council agrees, with municipal water from nearby Long Lake lines. The <br />sewering of this property would require the following: <br />1. <br />Approval <br />by <br />P.C.A. <br />and M.W.C.C. <br />for new <br />sewer <br />extension. <br />2. <br />Amendment <br />of <br />Orono <br />Comprehensive <br />Sewer <br />Policy <br />i Plan. <br />1 <br />
