Watertown Road needing sanitary sewer. The Van Eeckhout plans include a preliminary design for sanitary <br />sewer to serve the site. The plans show a gravity sewer system that ties into an existing sanitary manhole <br />at the south end of Apple Glen Road in Long Lake. This proposed system could potentially serve the Fox <br />Ridge neighborhood if the DNR issued permits for to cross the Luce Line Trail. The proposed alignment <br />as shown would not provide sewer service to properties along South Brown Road. The topographywould <br />allow a gravity sewer to be extended westerly in the proposed roadway to South Brown Road to provide <br />future sanitary service. <br />Surrounding Properties <br />The property abuts the City of Long Lake to the north, where properties are provided with sewer and the <br />minimum zoning lot size is 10,000 s. f. ( approx 1 / 4 acre). The property abuts the Luce Line trail on the <br />south, and on the east and west abuts neighboring rural residential properties in Orono zoned RR-lB. Just <br />to the south of the Luce Line is the Fox Ridge neighborhood containing 7 lots averaging 1 acre in area, <br />developed in the 1960's. <br />Easements <br />1. Standard drainage and utility easements along the property lines will be required for the final plat. <br />2. Subdivider shall grant Conservation and Flowage easements across the wetlands and ponding <br />areas located within the development. Language in the easement documents shall restrict land <br />alteration and removal of vegetation in all wetland areas and within 75' of Long Lake Creek. <br />3. The DNR has made efforts to maintain a wooded and natural corridor along the Luce Line Trail. <br />They have requested the applicant dedicate a 50' conservation easement over the southern portion <br />oflot 7. <br />Park Dedication Fee <br />8% of the land value, to be determined by the City Assessor, will be required for Park Dedication Fee. <br />The City of Orono has established a minimum park dedication fee per lot of $2,900 and a maximum of <br />$4,900 per lot. <br />Issues for discussion <br />1. Access to the property is via a Tract G which is not owned by Mr. Van Eeckhout. Staff is <br />recommending the owner of Tract G become a joint applicant and the corridor be replatted as part <br />#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout <br />120 Brown Road South <br />Subdivision <br />11/15199 <br />page--5
