I have attached a copy of zoning application#2293 and minutes from 1997 where a developer had requested rezoning/comprehensive plan amendment/subdivision/vacation. Please be aware that the westerly 10-acre parcel is zoned for 2-acre minimum lot size and is not in the MUSA, hence cannot be provided with municipal sewer. The properties east of the 10-acre parcel are zoned for 1-acre lots and are within the MUSA and therefore can be served with municipal sewer. As Hennepin County's website shows,there are platted dedicated rights-of-way separating the various components of the Morgart property. Whether the City would vacate the rights-of-way will not be determined until a proposal for development appears before the City. If it is determined that some combination of the rights-of-way provides potential public access to Lake Minnetonka, a vacation is unlikely. Vacation of certain elements of the right-of-way not related to lake access might be feasible. All existing Joint Use Dock lots in Orono were created several decades ago. According to an excerpt from City Code Section 78-1330(3)within the RPD/PUD Standards...The number of dwelling units or sites which maybe granted lake access shall not exceed the number of riparian dwelling units or sites which could be created under a standard subdivision. In this case the zoning district is 1 acre requiring 140' in width. The land that directly abuts the ordinary high water level (OHWL is approximately 305 feet. Only the two lots that directly abut the lake would be allowed a dock, none of the other lots would qualify. The City would not approve a joint use dock system for the property in question. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
