He noted they have redesigned the plat and the road alignment as directed by the City Council. He stated he was there to request Planning Commission action on this matter. • Mabusth noted that this property was excluded from the subdivision moratorium. She noted they are proposing a 13 lot PRD development based on standards of the 2 acre zoning. The property consists of 24.5 acres and 26 acres are needed to satisfy the PRD requirements. Applicants are seeking a lot area variance of 1.5 acre. Each pad meets approximately a 1 acre density. She stated that Lot 1, Block 1 would not have interior access. Mabusth pointed out the outlot would be retained for possible future expansion to the north. The floodplain has been designed at 947.3' and therefore the lagoon cannot be used for drainage of the runoff as it is below that elevation. She noted that a retention pond would be developed in the southern portion of the property directing runoff through a culvert and through the private property to the east. A retention pond is considered for the northern portion also. Mabusth stated that the applicants propose special setbacks for several of the lots. Lot 1, Block 1 would have a 25' setback from the roadway. Pads along Orono Oaks plat would have a 50' rear setback. All lots include a 35' street setback and a 10' side setback. She noted that building pads have been proposed on either side of the forcemain, which may be an issue to consider. Jim Palmer, 1350 Orono Oaks Drive, stated that he is the property owner to the east and is shocked to find that the City •is considering directing runoff through his property. He noted that he was not prepared to address the issue.
