The site is currently occupied by a former <br /> daycare facility which has been vacant for a number of years. <br /> Project Overview <br /> The property owners are requesting approval of a reguiding from Rural Residential to Urban <br /> Residential (0.5 acre) for the above-referenced site. The requested reguiding to Urban <br /> Residential would allow municipal utilities to be extended to the site for the construction of a <br /> 12-unit townhome development. A concept plan has been submitted with this application, <br /> which is intended to provide the City with an idea of how the property could be developed. <br /> However, the property owners are not requesting concept plan review or approval at this <br /> time. If the Planning Commission and the City Council act favorably on the land use guide <br /> amendment application, we anticipate submitting an application for rezoning with a PUD <br /> overlay and a PUD Concept Plan/Site Plan for review and approval by the City. <br /> Property Description <br /> The property is currently zoned Single Family Rural Residential and is located within the <br /> City of Orono's Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. Water Service is <br /> currently provided to the site. The existing building was served with an on-site wastewater <br /> treatment system. Municipaf sanitary sewer is available from adjacent properties. The <br /> southern portions of the site are generally flat rising in elevation to the adjacent Highway 12 <br /> and the Luce Line regional trail. The west side of the site contains a large wetland complex <br /> and the east side of the site consists of buildable uplands. The vacant daycare building on <br /> the east side of the site has access from Wayzata Boufevard West. � <br /> � �, .,:a.�:,�n F:..,,. _ <br /> ,� `y>- �..�:� ��: �+.. <br /> �, � ��� �� �::: �1 �'� �::,�. �ix <br /> �, G;t..;."� I! ..� �:,aa <br /> c'h I ,: j•'� ;�' ,� r.7 � ; � �;�� <br /> . . r . �i1L:•:'�if �`��'�`.iw�;l� ������::J::'� F,:�-r�i1:'..�.0 <br /> G50 BUTLER NORTH BUILDING 510 FIRST AVENUE NORTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55403 <br /> OFFICE:G12.252.9070 FAX:�12.252.9077 www.landform.net <br />
