Page 8 of 20 be established indicating the road potentially will be extended in the future. 22. Lighting. Internal street lighting should be at a low level consistent with the surrounding rural residential character while providing the necessary level of security, and will be maintained by the homeowners association. Private street lighting will be provided by the developer, then maintained through standard agreement between the homeowners association and the appropriate public utility company. 23. 10% Private Park RPUD Requirement. The private recreation area of ‘10% of the platted property’ required under the RPUD standards will be satisfied via a neighborhood park near the west end of the development, plus a trail system throughout the perimeter of the landfill area as shown in the attached Trail Plan. 24. Park and Trail Dedication. There are no identifiable public parkland needs at this location. However, development of the proposed housing will generate additional use of existing City park facilities in the area. The Council finds that no park lands need to be dedicated and the park dedication should be in the form of a Cash Contribution in Lieu of Lands as allowed by the Municipal Code.

Stormwater Management. Stormwater management is proposed to be provided by a stormwater pond area at the west end of the site, which will ultimately discharge to the major wetland on the site. The stormwater facilities will be subject to standard drainage easements. In addition to the City of Orono, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District have approval authority over the applicants’ stormwater management plan. Final stormwater plans will be subject to the recommnedations and approval of the City Engineer. 26. Stormwater and Drainage Improvements & Fees. The property will be subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee. Recent Council action to revise the Trunk Fee provisions would result in a fee (for development at greater than 4.0 units per acre) of $8,490 per acre (2016 Fee Schedule), based on non-wetland acreage. The area of the landfill shall not be included in the acreage char ged. The
