Orono Zoning: The property is currently zoned RR-lB: Proposed Zoning-RR-lB Minimum Lot Area-2.0 acres Minimum Width-200 feet Front Yard Setback -50 feet Side Yard Setback -30 feet / 50 feet (street) Rear Yard Setback -50 feet A preliminary plat lot area tabulation sheet is in Appendix A of this narrative. Site Analysis: The site is bordered on the north by two existing homes. Both of these home sites were part of the plat application for Bayview Farms 2nd Addition. Access to the site is between these two homes within two proposed outlots. There are existing home sites surrounding the property. The site consists of existing farmland (hayfield) on the western half of the site. The northeastern side is sloping with a flat wetland in the middle of the site. A wooded area exists in the southeast comer of the site. Please see the existing conditions plan and the aerial site plan. The site topography is sloping within the site with peak elevations on the north end of the site at +/-1010 and sloping to the east and west. One wetland was delineated on the site in the middle of the eastern half of the side. The wetland elevation is+/-960 to 961. No wetland impacts are proposed for this project. The Soil Survey of Hennepin County indicates Lester, Cordova, Hamel, and Angus Loams over most of the site. The soils that are present on most of the site consist of mostly moderately drained loams and clayey loams with a moderate to low permeability. These soil types are typically suitable for residential development. The site is within the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Street Design: "BAYSIDE MEADOWS" proposes to have 20' wide bituminous pavement private streets with a 2' gravel shoulder, and a 2' deep ditch, the ditch bottom will be 3 feet with 3: 1 slopes. All streets will be constructed to the section proposed by the pavement design recommendations of the geotechnical engineer. A copy of the pavement design report, prepared by Haugo Geotechnical Services (Dated: January 10, 2013, Project #13-010) was submitted with the preliminary plat application. Site Grading: The site grading is planned to begin in the spring of 2013. The private roadway and the stormwater treatment pond will be graded in one phase. Some off-site grading will be required on the two adjacent parcels ( 4645 and 4665) for the private drive construction. The proposed house placements on Lots 1-5 are for illustrative purposes only, we have shown some possible future contours. Some minor lot grading adjustments may be required to balance the overall site -4- 1/23/2013 359 ).
