' • � � � <br /> CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan <br /> 5. The property abuts the Luce Line Trail,which as it traverses Orono has a completely different feel than it does in <br /> Plymouth to the east;a rural feel rather than a suburban feel.Development of a 50 unit residential building rather <br /> than 9 individual buildings is anticipated to result in a more compact,centered footprint,not as spread out as the <br /> previously approved 9 single family homes. This has a potential to then retain more of the long views to the <br /> southwest enjoyed by trail users,given that those views are now of a freeway and railroad corridor. Due to the <br /> trail crossing of the freeway immediately west of the property, this is one of the very few locations in Orono . <br /> traversed by the trail where denser development might not seem out of place. <br /> 6.Residential development at a density of 2 or more units per dry buildable acre would be inconsistent with existing <br /> and expected residential development surrounding the property.While the properly in Long Lake to the north is <br /> "zoned to allow up to 4 units per acre, it has developed in the past with a wide range of lot sizes and at a <br /> substantially lower density than it is zoned for.The above factors suggest that this location lends itself to a low- <br /> intensity, low-profile multi-family use such as senior assisted living.The traffic generated by this use would be <br /> limited, and the profile of the residents would not require immediate adjacency to most urban amenities. <br /> Therefore,development of such a use af a density of up to 10-15 dwelling units per acre would be appropriate for <br /> the site. <br /> Planned Development Parameters <br /> � Land Use Plan Amendment-2009 <br /> In addition to the permitted, conditional and accessory uses allowed within the RR-1B zoning district, this <br /> amendment allows for residential development of Parcel Group 5 at a density of 10-15 dwelling units per net dry <br /> buildable acre(i.e. exclusive of wetlands and required wetland buffers).Based on the net area being 5.9 acres,this <br /> would allow a minimum of 59 units. The following parameters shall be adhered to for any residential development <br /> of PG-5 at a density greater than 0.5 units per net dry buildable acre of land: . <br /> 1. All dwelling units shall be contained within a single residential building that shall not exceed two (2) <br /> stories in height and have a footprint of no greater than 20,000 square feet. <br /> 2. The residential building shall maintain a low-profile and be designed in a residential architectural style that <br /> blends with the natural surroundings of the site. <br /> 3. The development shall be subject to the PUD development process,and shall be rezoned to RPUD Residential <br /> Planned Unit Development. The entirety of the property shall be so developed as a single PUD project. <br /> 4. T'he development shall be served with municipal sewer and water. ' <br /> 5. The development shall adhere to all regulations of the City with respect to wetland protection. . <br /> 6. The development shall adhere to the principals of Conservation Design as established through the Orono Rural <br /> Oasis visioning process. • <br /> 7. Site development shall be designed and constructed in such a manner that projects a rural character as viewed <br /> from Wayzata Boulevard as motorists enter the cities of Orono and Long Lake from the east. <br /> 8. Site development sha11 be designed and constructed in such a manner that minimizes the visual impact of <br /> density as viewed from the Luce Line Trail. <br /> ' 9. Site vehicular access shall be via a single connection to Wayzata Boulevard. <br /> *This table corresponds with Map 3B-7. _ <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-36 <br />
