Large singl�family lots surround this site on the north � snd east. The properties to the north are within d�e City of Medina and the properties to the east are located in the City of Plymouth. To the west and south,t�►e homes in Orono are generally on 2-plus acre lots. Gaffron stated there is aot city sewer available to this property and that private wells and septic systems are planned for this deve�opment. Gaffron noted Staff s report contains a brief description of each proposed lot along with tbe Applica�'s comments excerpted from the Conservation Design report. There are two praposed private toad corridors serving the proposed subdivision. Both are shown to be 50 feet in width. Both proposed roads are shown with a 100-foot dia�oaeter cu-de-sac as required by the Subdivision Ordinance and the CMP for a local private road. The standard paved width for the road in Outlots E and F would be 24 feet with an 80-foot diameter paved cul�de-sac. Praposed Lots 1 and 2,Block l,wiil be accessed off of Sixth Avenue North via a private road cont�ined within a 50-foot outlot Likewise, a 50-foot private raad outlot with cul-de-sac will provide ac�ess to Lots 3 through 7, Block 1,and Lo�s 1 and 2,Biock 2. Lots 1 $nd 2,Block 3,will have individual driveway access directly off ef H�mter Drive. The totaI lengti�of the rvad in autlot F is about 1,550 feet, which excceds the code staudsrd maximum length of 1,000 faet. The driveway to serve Lot 2,Block 2, adds an additiona1600 feet. The applicant has suggested that use of the existing roadbed is desi.red and the minimum width for the entire road s}ifluld be no less than 2a feet. The 30-foot access corridor shown for Lot 2,Block 1,would function as the access to the back lot. For Lot 2,Block 2,the acr.ess corridor has been widened to allow for flexibility in driveway placement to avoid tTee removaI. The City will require a mad,drainage and utilitias easement over the private roads. The CMP also proposes a future trail along County Road 6. As a result, an easement along tha roa.d for trail purposes should be e�lored. Development of the property would be subject to garlc dedication faes at approximately$5,550 per new lot. The total fee,excluding the one existing house,would be approxi.mately$56,000. The property is also subject to the stormwatex and draina.ge trunk fee for ten new lots. The City Council is expected to adopt an ordinance that revises the structure so that the applicant would likely be paying for ten lots at roughly$7,700 per lot for a total stormwater fee of agproximately$77,000. The lots will be served by private on-site sep�ic systems and private wells. Full soil testing and preliminary system designs have been completed for 5-bedroom homes, Final design for each site will be completed once the specific house sizes are lmown. The site contains a number of watlands. The applica�t should provide t�e City witi�evidence that the MCWD has approved tha wetland boundaries, and if any of the boundaries change, significant impacts to the plat layout could result. The MCWD will be involved 'vn establishment of mirigation reqwirements if needed and will also be eshablishing appropriate wetlaud buffers for the development. The Crty will require a Conservation and Flowage Easement over each of the wetlands as well as impose standard wetlat�d setback requirements. Page 9 of 37
