Of the 1] lots,nine <br /> will be served by new private roads with cul-de-sacs extending northerly from Sixt11 Avenue North, The <br /> remaining two lots will access direcfly fram Hunter Drive.A11 lats will be served by individuial on-site <br /> sewage treatrnent systems and private wells. <br /> The property coafi�ains a large area of astablished prairie and for many decades has announced to <br /> passersby that this is the baundary ta rural Orono. The properiy extends fi�uther north into Medina and <br /> abuts the City of Medina on the north side. The big woods remnant provides a backdrop that is treasuzed <br /> by some of the area residents in equal measurement ta the prairie element,which are two natuxal elements <br /> that are worthy of discussion tonight. <br /> Gaffron stated the northeast quadran#of the property abuts Mooney Lake and seven of the eleven <br /> proposed lots will be Iskeshore lots. Mooney Lake is a recreational development lake classification and <br /> its shores abut property in Medina and Plymouth. <br /> The developer, in creating this plat called Mooney Lalce Preserve,h�s indicated to Staff that the two large <br /> outlots are to remain undevelapad and functionaily are not part of the development site. In that respect, it <br /> may be unportant to establish,for the portion of the property that is being developed,what elements are <br /> being preserved,how they are being preserved,why they are being preserved,and what the basis is for <br /> these decisions to fully preserva certain elements and not others. <br /> 'T�e propeity is zflned RR-IB,which allows for singl�family residential vses with a mi,n�imum lot size of <br /> two dry buildable acres. Each proposed lot has two dry buildable and contiguous acres of land. The <br /> average dry buildable is closer to t�ree acres for each of the proposed lots. Roughly over half of the <br /> properiy is located wit�in the Shoreland Overlay District. The ordinary high water level of Mooney Lake <br /> is 988.0. Based on that contour,a111akeshore lots as proposed meet the minimutu 20Q-foot width <br /> requirement at the shore and at the lake setback line. Each lot appears to have a suitable building site <br /> meeting the minimum lake,front,sido,and rear setbacks ofthe RR-1B District as well as having two <br /> septic sites. <br /> Page 8 of 37 <br />
