CITY OF ORONO <br /> RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> NO. 683 <br /> � G <br /> lkESH0l''� <br /> NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Orono, Minnesota <br /> hereby approves the preliminary plat and PRD as described above based on one or more of the <br /> following findings of fact concerning the Property: <br /> FINDINGS OF FACT: <br /> 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #18-3994. The analysis contained within <br /> staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the above <br /> mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings are <br /> hereby incorporated by reference. <br /> 2. The Property is located in the LR-1C Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District. <br /> 3. The Property contains 2.44 acres in total area; 1.73 acres dry, buildable and 0.71 acres <br /> wetland. <br /> 4. The Property is guided 2008-2030 Orono Community Management Plan (CMP) for Low- <br /> Medium Density (2-3 units per acre). The project has a prescribed density of 1.22 units <br /> per acre based on the gross area; 1.73 units per acre upon removal of the wetland <br /> acreage. The proposal is less dense than the prescribed maximum density contemplated <br /> within the CMP. <br /> 5. The Property is wooded with somewhat bowl-shaped topography due to the 0.71 acre <br /> centrally-located wetland. There is an existing home and detached garage located in the <br /> northern portion of the property, which may remain following the subdivision; the setbacks <br /> are met. There is an existing 20 foot drainage and utility easement on the eastern property <br /> line accommodating an existing sewer line. <br /> 6. The Developer is requesting flexibility to allow for noncontiguous lot areas and reduced <br /> front yard setbacks through Planned Residential District (PRD) authority. <br /> 7. The preliminary plat reflects flexibility in reduced front yard setbacks for Lots 2 and 3 off <br /> of Northern Avenue. Development as a PRD will allow for relaxing the normal front yard <br /> setback of 30-feet to 20-feet as proposed for Lots 2 and 3. <br /> 8. A delineated wetland near the center of the Property impacts buildable areas of the two <br /> proposed southern lots.All lots will be served by City sewer and water. City Code requires <br /> that each sewered lot provide 0.5 acres minimum of contiguous dry buildable area. All <br /> lots, as proposed, meet the acreage requirement, however the acreage for the two <br /> southern lots is not contiguous. <br /> 2 <br />
