r �� ' MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,June 15,2015 <br /> 6:30 dclock p.m. <br /> Ian Peterson, David Weekley Homes, stated the square footage for a single-level plan, without a <br /> basement, would be in the range of 2,000 to 2,400 square feet. A two-story home would probably start <br /> around 2,400 square feet up to approximately 3,100 square feet. <br /> Schoenzeit asked what the dollar range of the homes would be. <br /> Peterson stated in general terms they are probably looking at upper fours to mid sixes. <br /> Lemke asked if there is that much demand for that type of housing in this area. <br /> Peterson stated his background and specialty is in specialty projects. Peterson indicated they have done <br /> some market studies and analyses and that they are looking at an empty-nester or a couple whose children <br /> are in college or the divorcee market. <br /> Schoenzeit stated price-wise it is similar to the Red Oak development. <br /> Thiesse asked if he could discuss the 10 percent amenity requirement. <br /> Gonyea stated they did have some discussions with Staff about the idea of putting a common trail or <br /> something around the wetlands. Gonyea stated it could be done, but with the stormwater requirements <br /> and things of that nature, it becomes a little more difficult. Gonyea indicated he is not opposed to taking a <br /> look at it. <br /> Thiesse asked if the wetland extends out into the archard area. <br /> Gaffron stated they have not explored that to see whether the trail could be continued down by the Dumas <br /> property but it would be something to look at. <br /> Gonyea stated to his understanding Mn/DOT owns that small corner of property. <br /> Gaffron pointed out the property that Mn/DOT owns. Gaffron stated to his recollection the wetland does <br /> not continue past that area. <br /> Page 75 of 79 <br />
