' Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> December 2, 2008 <br /> Brian Winges <br /> � <br /> Comforts of Home <br /> 1245 Gun Club Road � <br /> White Bear Lake, MN 55110 �a <br /> Re: Proposed Development at 875 Wayzata Boulevard West � <br /> Dear Mr. Winges: • <br /> This letter is intended to sumnlarize the application and review process for multi-family senior <br /> assisted living residential development at 875 Wayzata Boulevard West per our recent discussions. ' <br /> Your proposal for a 46-unit senior housing building on the approximately 6.5 buildable acres would - � - <br /> ' require the following applications: <br /> 1. A request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend the 2000-2020 Orono � <br /> � � Gomprehensive Plan(CMP)as well as the pending 2008-2030 CMP which is currently being <br /> drafted.This site is guided for Single-Family Urban Residential Use with specific and finite <br /> approvals for 9 single-family dwelling units at a density of approximately 1.5 units per acre. <br /> To accommodate your proposal, the site must be re-guided to Urban Residential Medium <br /> Density SFR/MFR with a density of approximately 7-10 units per acre. � <br /> � 2. A request for rezoning of the properiy to Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD) <br /> and a request for RPUD Master Development Plan approval as outlined in the RPUD <br /> - sections of the Zoning Ordinance. The property is currently zoned RR-1B Single Family <br /> Rural Residential, minimum lot size 2.0 acre. RPUD �zoning provides the flexibility to <br /> develop multi-family housing in the manner you have proposed. Note that the prior rezoning <br /> to RPUD to accommodate the Orono Villas project has not taken effect because that <br /> development has not proceeded. <br /> CMP Amendment Timing Issues.The Comprehensive Plan Amendment process requires review by <br /> the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council, as well as Metropolitan Council <br /> acceptance. The timing of your upcoming request for Comp Plan Amendment is problematic, <br /> because Orono is in the midst of updating its Comprehensive Plan. Plan updates were required to be <br /> submitted to adjacent municipalities for a 6-month review period by June 30, 2008 and formally <br /> submitted to Met Council by December 31,2008. Orono's Plan update is still being drafted and the <br /> City has recently received an extension to July 31, 2009 for submittal of the Plan to Met Council. <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 i <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> '�S <br />
