ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR JANUARY 19, 2000 <br /> • <br /> (#2550 Charles Van Eeckhout, Continued) <br /> development may not meet the minimum standards a NURP pond requires. <br /> 5. A permit from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is required for site land alteration <br /> and wetland mitigation. <br /> 6. All easement documents for utilities, drainage and conservation land shall be approved by <br /> the City Attorney. <br /> 7. Final plans for the construction of the roads shall be submitted for review. <br /> 8. The applicant provides final lot area (dry buildable acreage and wetland acreage) <br /> predevelopment. The Applicant shall be advised 14 acres dry buildable is required for a <br /> seven lot subdivision. <br /> City Staff is recommending this application be based to allow additional time to resolve a <br /> number of complex issues, which includes the following: <br /> A. The property owner of Tract G become a co-applicant and agree to allow the property to be <br /> replatted if he will remain the owner subsequent to plat approval. <br /> B. More detailed engineering data is required to ensure lots will be provided with safe driveway <br /> access. The City recommends driveways not exceed a 10 percent slope. <br /> • C. Stormwater calculations should be submitted for review to ensure the site can treat all <br /> runoff. Stormwater will flow directly to the Long Lake Creek which flows south directly to <br /> Tanager Lake of Lake Minnetonka. <br /> D. A grading and erosion control plan shall be submitted for the entire site shall be submitted <br /> for additional review. <br /> Weinberger noted the revised plan does meet the intent of a PRD. <br /> Van Eeckhout commented the road access issue is a legal issue and indicated he is willing to <br /> work with City Staff to resolve this issue. Van Eeckhout stated the letter received from his <br /> title insurance company indicates that they are willing to guarantee access to this subdivision <br /> via this driveway easement which was granted a number of years ago. <br /> Van Eeckhout stated he has revised the plans in an attempt to comply with the recommendations <br /> of the Planning Commission and City Staff. <br /> Berg stated they would be willing to relocate the road to help increase the lot size of the two <br /> north lots, reduce the encroachment into the wetland area, and preserve more trees. <br /> Smith inquired what the impact would be if the road were relocated right next to the wetland. <br /> Berg stated any runoff from the road would need to be directed to the other side into a holding <br /> pond and away from the wetland area. Berg commented in his view this would not be a major <br /> issue to resolve. <br /> • Smith commented the only way to create lots of one acre or more was to reduce the number of <br /> lots from four to three. <br /> Page 10 <br />
