^ #OS-3161 � November 16,2005 Page 5 of 6 �. ParkJTrail Easement or Dedication Needed The CMP indicates a firture trail along North Shore Drive and Shadywood Road. The CMP has not indicated which side of the road the tr�ils are plaiu-ied for but it does indicate the trail would be on the shoulder o2� separated. The Park Commission will be asked to review and conunent on the proposed plat with relation to required park dedication and whether cash anci/or land dedication will be required. The park dedication fee would be as follows: 8% of the fair market value of the land with a minimum of$3,250 and a cap of$5550 per lot (excluding the number of homes existing or e�isted): 2 Lots x$S,SSO = �11,100.00 Road Improvements and/or Easements Needed It is not anticipated that any improvements to North Shore Drive or Shadywood Road would be required and no new accesses are proposed. Two private access outlots will be platted, with Outlot A providing access for Lots 1 and 3 and Outlot B providing access for Lots 4 and 5. Staff is somewhat concerned with the driveway orientation of the driveway proposed to serve Lot 4. The concerns arise by the extensive ainount of retairung wall necessary and the proximity of that retaining wall and driveway to the lot to the west. The back lot stanclards listed in Section 78-1370 (3) (c) require a minimlm� of a 10' dt•iveway setback when abutting a side or rear lot line of an adjacent lot. The applicant should revise the driveway within Outlot B to meet a 10' setback, and also address the City Engineer recommendations on this issue noted in Exhibit O (first bullet). Secondly, Hennepin County has reviewed the proposed plat and provided comments to the owner. Those comments are attached as Exhibit P, whereby the County is requesting that the City require dedication of an additional 7' of right-of-way along North Shore Drive (CSAH 19) for a firture right turn lane onto Shadywood Road (Co. Rd. 51). It has been the City of Orono's practice to not require these dedications as the property owner could be compensated for the dedication at the time the improvement is planned. The Plamiing Conunission may want to determine whether an additional 7' should be dedicated and how that impacts the proposed plat with respect to required setbacks and lot areas. Lastly, the City will require standard 10' drainage and utility easements along all periphery property boundaries and 5' drainage and utility easements along all interior property boundaries, as well as conservation and flowage easements over the delineated wetland on Lot 4. Stormwater and Drainage Improvements The applicants have not provided aily water quality or rate control, wluch the City Engineer has determined will be rec�uired. The property will also be subject to the Stormwater ancl Drainage Trunlc Fee, established by the 2005 fee schedule 1s $4,160 per acre for the '/2 acre zone. The total acreage is 3.85 aci�es. Payment of the Stormwater aud Drainage Tilililc I'ee consists as follows:
