FtEGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, AUGUST 29, 1978 Page 11 If an annexation and detachment of the property WAYZATA COUNTRY CLUB could be obtained, it would certainly make it niich (Continued) easier to develop the property, since we would only have to deal with one municipality. Since the sewer and water for the project would be provided by the City of [Jayzata, it is suggested that the land required to construct the project be detached from Orono and annexed by taayzata. In exchange, I would sug�est that Wayzata caould detach the property lying northerly of the center � line of old Highway 12 and west of the east half of the southeast quarter of Section �, To��inship 117, Range 23. If the property is going to be developed linder � the ordinances of the City of Orono, it will be necessary for us to ask for the rezoning of sufficient land to a half acre or a one acre zone to allow the construction of the residential units. Since this will be a 12-unit condominiun, we would probably be required to proceed under the planned residential section of your ordinances in order to obtain the right to construct coru�on walls. Prior to proceeding with the time and effort required in a rezoning application and a planned residential development, I would like some pre- liMinary indication from the Council on the following points: l. Whether or not an annexation and detachment between the City of Orono and Wayzata would be feasible as being in the best interests of both �unicipalities for the purpose of allowing the proposal to be under the jurisdiction of a single municipality. 2. If the proposal is to be developed under the _ ordinances of the City of Orono, does the proposal as submitted run contrary to the co�prehensive plan of the City of Orono. In other words, from a policy standpoint does the development as proposed create a conflict with the comprehensive plan for the City of Orono which would nake it iMprobable if not i�possible to obtain the necessary approval. The questions are not asked for the purpose of attempting to gain a commitment in favor of the proposed develop�ent, but it is being asked ior the � purpose of ascertaining whether or not the Droposed developMent has such limited chance of success that the expenditure of future time an d effort on behalf of the Wayzata Country Club would be an exercise in futility.
