There is no plan for this property to develop at any higher density than allowed by
the current zoning - one dwelling unit for every 2 acres. It might be possible to
develop the property with lots of less than two acres with the balance being
commonly held, under the Conservation Design principals. But the number of units
allowed would be no more than allowed under the standard subdivision standards.
1. The two acres must be not wetland and contiguous.
2. Any roads would be private. The City would have an easement that granted it the
right to take over the street if the homeowners' association failed to properly
maintain it.
3. Without a wetland delineation, topography, septic sites, and a survey it is
impossible to determine the maximum density. The lots must be 200 feet wide.
Each lot must a primary and secondary septic site.
4. The property is not within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) so it is not
anticipated the property will be served by City sewer. Even if it were placed within
the MUSA the density would not increase. (Currently the Metro Council is not
approving the addition of property to the MUSA unless it is zoned to allow a
minimum of 3 d.u./acre.)

Evelyn,
My name is John van Dyck with Gordon James Construction. I recently had a conversation with the owners of
15.02 Acres on 2700 6th Ave No, John & Connie Lein about purchasing their property for future development.
They communicated that some of their land had the potential for higher density in the future. I do not find any
evidence of this when I have researched information on the city web site. To help us in our analysis of this could
you please answer a few questions-

.
• The current zoning appears to be 2 acre minimum lots, does this relate to the entire area, or just to the
non-wetland area?
• If a road/cul-de-sac is put in would it be private or city owned?
• Is the current maximum density 7 single family homes?
. Is there any city plan for water/sewer on this lot allowing for higher density?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Sincerely,
John van Dyck

RE: 2700 Sixth Avenue
John,
Thank you for stopping by last week to discuss your potential future plans for your property. To
follow-up:
• I put together and attached some maps with information about our property
• I attached the Subdivision Code, Wetland Protection Code and Conservation Design
Code
• I wasn't able to find information regarding accessing Keller Road with a driveway
Please review the information and if you would like, we can set-up a meeting to discuss your
questions or a subdivision application. I can be reached at 952.249.4627.
Sincerely,
CITY OF ORONO
