#16-3828 June 8, 2016 Page 2 of 2 unavoidable in order to make the access feasible, and requires filling in a portion of the wetland. This wetland fill is being mitigated within the development area at a 2:1 ratio by restoring the hydrology and native vegetation of a portion of “Wetland G3” (see Exhibit D-1 of PC Memo) which is in the same Painter’s Creek subwatershed as the Orono wetland being filled. Orono code Section 78-1609(b) requires that mitigation for wetland fill must occur within Orono unless approved by City Council. It is staff’s opinion that the mitigation proposed within the overall project site should be acceptable to Orono, and staff recommends Council approval. The filled portion of wetland will be removed from the Wetland Overlay District via the rezoning ordinance attached. For additional detail, please review the PC memo, exhibits and minutes. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval per the following conditions which have been incorporated into the CUP approval resolution attached: 1. Applicant to provide Orono with a copy of the executed road easement document. 2. Resolution of CUP approval shall memorialize the intent and expectation of future road maintenance to be by City of Medina. 3. Approval of the 24’ paved width rather than 32’ required by Orono Code for a public street. 4. Future spur road connection to be reconsidered at the time the Orono property is developed for residential use, with a goal of minimizing additional wetland impacts. 5. Acceptance of wetland fill mitigation per the proposed plans, including wetland improvements to ‘Wetland G3’ within the development site in Medina. 6. Expectation that the road will be platted at the future time the Orono property is developed for residential use. 7. Subject to applicant addressing how visual impacts of headlights to the property on the west side of Homestead Trail will be mitigated. 8.
