all storm water management facilities. 16. 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. 17. 10% Private Park RPUD Requirement. The private recreation area of `10% of the platted property' required under the RPUD standards will be satisfied by the preservation of the wetland and a passive open space and the provision of trails along Shadywood Road. The Council finds this acceptable given the unique and sensitive features of the site, including the tree cover, wetland, and its location. 18. 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. Additionally, the Council finds that although no public trails along the property boundaries are planned, it would be prudent to obtain a trail easement over the northerly 10 feet of the property for potential future trail use, such easement to coincide with the required 10' drainage and utility easement in that same location. The developer and/or individual property owners shall be allowed to landscape the trail easement area with the understanding that if a future trail is constructed, the landscaping may be at risk and there will be no compensation for its removal as a result of the trail construction. 19. Stormwater Management. Stormwater management is proposed to be provided via several methods. The developer proposes to utilize permeable pavers in the driveways, reducing the percentage of hard cover to be below the watershed districts standards for rate and volume control. A storm water pond will be developed at the SE corner of the site, prior to discharge into the system along Shadywood Road. An additional pond will be provided near the SW corner of the developed area, to maintain rate and volume control of storm water prior to entering the wetland complex downstream. The storm water facilities will be subject to standard drainage easements. In addition to the City of Orono, the Minnehaha Page 6 of 15
