MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING HELD AUGUST 15, 1988 REBHRS SUBDWISION PROPOSAL CONTINUED Access could take place off of Brown Road or Pine Ridge Road, which is dedicated and paved right to the westerly property line. There is no public right-of-way on the north, but considerable access opportunity along Wayzata Boulevard where there is currently 3 curb cuts to the commercial area and one that services the farm house. Brown Road would be the major access opportunity to the site, back to Wayzata Boulevard and County Road 6. ` A single family, detached sub -division, clustered around one cul de sac, with a design character unlike anything else in Orono is what Mr Jarvis is currently sugg,!sting. They are proposing cul de sac A th large islands, allowing the vegetation to remain undisturbed. There would be a large buffer area around the perimeter of the project to guarantee inperpetuity that there will be no disturbance within a minimum of 50' of the4.r residence, which is over and above and anaddition to any setback standards that would be self-imposed or required in terms of. Orono's standard setbacks as part of the zoning. They have ^ussed and concluded that they wanted to put in a Class 2, cr wood chip, path that would link every single lot. It tie a jogging or walking trail. They would also like to put 1 id system that would range from 24'to 26' wide with trees es a to the back of the curb as possible to maintain the eP tent. ..It looking at design alternatives for the single family detached, they were very concerned about the frontage. It was recommended that they abandon any commercial or retail development, due to the degree of slope along Wayzata Boulevard and the character of the land adjacent to it. As an alternative, they would nestle a small multi -family structure in the woods. He showed the proposed 44-unit, two story structure. There would be an underground parking facility that could alsc accommodate guest parking and rental storage for boats to avoid any outside -~ornge. There would be d requirement for sanitary sewer and water avai' ility would be necessary regardless of whether the land was u-llized as commercial/retail or a multi -family structure. The Rite plan showed two outlines for proposals for Sanitary sewer. One showed the code setbacks for the requested rezoning, which at this time is 351 in front, 35' in back, 10' on tte two sides. They purposely wanted to be more limiting than that and stay with the larger 50' in the front, 50' in the back and 30' on either s.'is. They wanted to investigate the impact of doing a raditional non-sewer.ed, residential 2-acre lot development. He showed a typical 2-acre lot without sewer with the same setback standards. The bottom line is that on 25 lots with City !ewer the entir.c area of disturbance is approximately 175,000 s.f. However, 15 lots with septic systems and the same average house :size and driveway length, would create an additional $3,000 s.f. 19
