This property is located in the RR-1B, Rural Residential zoning district which <br /> requires a minimum of 2.0 dry acres and 200'of frontage. <br /> As we discussed during our meeting,since we last discussed the regulations in 2010,Orono City Codes have <br /> been amended regarding the use of nonconforming lots of record. According to City Code Section 78- <br /> 72(b)(2), an existing nonconforming lot of record can be developed without variances to lot area and lot <br /> width if the specified Code standards are met. A copy of this City Code section is attached for your review. <br /> Further,the City in 2013 updated the wetland regulations to eliminate the City buffer requirements and the <br /> buffer setback and now require only a 35-foot setback from the delineated edge of wetlands. Please note <br /> the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District may require a wetland buffer. <br /> The subject property,according to a survey on file and Hennepin County records is 1.54 acres in area;the <br /> width of the property at the front is±130 feet. It is served by sanitary sewer and appears that a home could <br /> be constructed on the property which would meet the RR-1B district setbacks as well as the 35-foot wetland <br /> setback. Based on the above analysis, lot width and lot area variances are not required for development of <br /> the property at 190 Orono Orchard Road S;all other zoning and building codes shall apply. <br /> I have enclosed a revised Zoning Disclosure Form for your records. <br /> Please contact me at mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us or 952.249.4627 if you have any questions on this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> (f.1141/12e.' <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning&Zoning Coordinator <br /> c Jeff Nikkei via email <br /> William& Nadine McGuire;315 Woodhill Road;Wayzata, MN 55391 <br /> enclosures <br />
