A RESOLUTION GRANTING PRELIMINARY
APPROVAL OF A SUBDIVISION
FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 340 WILLOW DRIVE NORTH
- FILE NO. 02-2755
WHEREAS, Ronald J. Moorse on behalf of the City of Orono (hereinafter the
"subdivider") in February 2002 filed a formal subdivision application with the City of Orono
(hereinafter"the City") for approval of a two lot plat of property legally described as:
All that part of the Southwest 1/4 of Section 34, Township 118 North, Range 23
West of the 5th Principal Meridian, described as follows: Beginning at a point on
the West line of said Southwest 1/4 distant 1876 feet North of the Southwest corner
thereof; thence North along said West line 387.8 feet; thence East parallel with the
South line of said Southwest 1/4 a distance of 693 feet; thence South parallel with said
• West line 387.8 feet; thence West 693 feet to the point of beginning.
Hennepin County, Minnesota.
(hereinafter "the property"); and
WHEREAS, after due published and mailed notice in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes 462.358 et. seq. and the City of Orono's Zoning and Subdivision Codes, the Orono
Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 19, 2002, at which time all persons
desiring to be heard concerning this application were given the opportunity to speak thereon;
and
WHEREAS, at their regular meeting held on February 25, 2002 the Orono City
Council considered the subdivision application of the subdivider, and on a vote of 4-0 approved
the preliminary plat subject to a number of conditions and directed City staff to draft a
preliminary plat approval resolution documenting findings of fact and conditions of preliminary
plat approval; and
WHEREAS, the Orono City Council makes the following findings of fact in
relation to this application:
1. The property is located within the RR-1B Single Family Rural Residential
Zoning District requiring a minimum of two acres of contiguous dry buildable
• land within each newly created residential lot.

2. The property is guided by the 2000-2020 Orono Community Management Plan
for single family residential use at a density of 2-3 units per acre.
3. The property contains a total of approximately 6.17 acres gross area, or 5.88
acres of land exclusive of the 33' of right-of-way used for Willow Drive North.
4. The proposed plat creates a 2.04 acre lot (Lot 1) to accommodate the proposed
new Long Lake Fire Station; a 3.42 acre outlot (Outlot A) to be retained by the
City of Orono for potential future residential use upon replatting; and dedication
of right-of-way for a new public road to serve the subdivision. The plat will
also dedicate 33' of right-of-way for existing Willow Drive North.
5. The plat will be served with municipal sewer and water service extending
westward from Long Lake at the east boundary of the site. An easement corridor
40' in width bisecting Outlot A will be dedicated to accommodate the sewer and
• water extension.
6. There are no City-protected wetlands located on the property. A preliminary
wetland delineation has been completed for the property and has confirmed that
linear wetlands protected under the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) exist along
the southerly and easterly borders of the property, such wetlands being
approximately 0.58 acres in area. The net property area exclusive of Willow
Drive right-of-way and exclusive of WCA-protected wetlands is 5.30 acres.
Proposed Lot 1 contains approximately 1.90 acres of non-wetland area and 0.14
acres of wetland. Proposed Outlot A contains approximately 3.05 acres of non-
wetland area and 0.37 acres of wetland.
7. In order to accommodate the proposed Fire Station, approximately 0.20 acre of
wetland, primarily in Lot 1, will be filled. Mitigation meeting or exceeding the
required 2:1 ratio for this filling is planned to occur within Outlot A south of
the existing drainageway, by creating new wetland from existing upland. This
plan is subject to final approval by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.
8. Stormwater ponding to serve the Fire Station will be developed in Outlot A,
north of the existing drainageway and south of the proposed sewer and water
easement corridor. The area planned for this proposed pond is large enough to
• allow some expansion to serve future development within Outlot A. If the future
Page 2 of 8
• O0 \, CITY of ORONO
\�C� oi ;�M'A 477RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
\�9kEsti� ' NO. 4769
development of Outlot A results in the need for expansion greater than can be
accommodated south of the utility corridor, a second ponding cell could be
developed to the north of the utility easement. The area of Outlot A that will
be undevelopable due to easements for existing wetlands, wetland mitigation,
stormwater ponding and sewer and water utilities is approximately 1.74 acres,
leaving 1.68 acres in Outlot A for future development. A portion of the 0.38
acre area of the utility corridor could be usable for roadways or driveways
serving development in Outlot A.
9. Although the property has not yet been rezoned to conform with the 2000-2020
Community Management Plan, proposed Outlot A is large enough (exclusive of
the necessary easements to accommodate wetlands, wetland mitigation, stormwater
ponding and utility easements) to accommodate reasonable future residential
development at the guide-planned density of 2-3 residential units per acre.
10. Lot 1 will access directly west to Willow Drive per the approved Fire Station
site plan, and will also gain access to the new public road south of Lot 1.
Outlot A will gain access to Willow Drive via the the new public road south of
Lot 1.
11. The City expects that in the future the new public road will be extended into
Outlot A either as a public road or a private driveway as part of a future
development. There is no intent at the present time to extend the new road
eastward to connect with roads in Long Lake; however, the "outlot" status of
Outlot A allows for decisions on the ultimate road configuration to be deferred
until Outlot A is developed.
12. Because the Fire Station is a municipal building which creates no new impact
on park use or park needs, it is appropriate to waive the Park Dedication
requirement for Lot 1. Because the future use of Outlot A is not determined,
Park Dedication requirements for Outlot A should be deferred until such future
time that Outlot A is developed.
13. Because the Fire Station site will be approximately 60% hardsurfaced, the station
will have stormwater impacts potentially even greater than if the site was used
for residential development. Therefore, the Fire Station shall be subject to the
. Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee per Orono Municipal Code Section 3.22.

Because the future use of Outlot A is not determined, the Stormwater and
Drainage Trunk Fee for Outlot A should be deferred until such future time that
Outlot A is developed.
14. Because required improvements to the property are being completed as a joint
project of the Cities of Long Lake and Orono, the standard requirement for
Developers Agreement and Financial Security should be waived.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon one or more of
the findings noted above, the City Council of the City of Orono hereby approves the
preliminary plat application of Ron Moorse on behalf of the City of Orono per the preliminary
plat drawings by Thomas J. Stearns, a licensed surveyor of SEH, Inc, dated February 1, 2002,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Applicant shall dedicate on the plat 33' of public right-of-way for Willow
• Drive North per the above-referenced preliminary plat drawing. Additionally,
applicant shall dedicate public right-of-way for a new public road on the plat
instead of the road outlot depicted in the preliminary plat drawing. Said new
public road shall be named .
2. Lot 2 as depicted on the preliminary plat drawing shall be platted as Outlot A
rather than as Lot 2. Outlot A is intended for future development. However,
no future development of Outlot A shall occur until such time that Outlot A is
replatted into one or more Lots.
3. Lot 1 shall be allowed direct access to Willow Drive as well as to the new
public road south of Lot 1, per the approved Fire Station site plan. Outlot A
shall access the new public road as shown on the preliminary plat drawings. The
new public road south of Lot 1 shall be constructed to City of Orono urban
section standards at a width of 28'.
4. Stormwater, drainage and wetland mitigation:
a) Prior to final plat approval applicant shall provide a final wetland
delineation report for the property identifying the boundaries of WCA
protected wetlands and showing the wetland buffers required by the
• Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.

b) The wetlands and buffers shall be subject to covenants advising future
property owners of the limitations on alterations of said features.
c) Drainage easements shall be designated over all wetlands, drainageways
and stormwater ponding areas as shown on the preliminary plat drawings.
d) The City will not grant final plat approval until the site grading, drainage,
stormwater and wetland mitigation plans have been approved by the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Applicant shall construct all
stormwater and drainage improvements and wetland mitigation according
to the approved plans and adhering to Best Management Practices for
Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas.
5. The Park Dedication requirement for Lot 1 is waived. The Park Dedication
requirement for Outlot A is deferred until such future time that Outlot A
• is developed.
6. Lot 1 is subject to the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee per Orono Municipal
Code Section 3.22. The amount of such fee shall be $13,220 (calculated as 2.04
acres x the commercial/industrial rate of $6,480 per acre per the 2002 Orono
Fee Schedule) and shall be paid upon final plat approval and prior to filing of
the subdivision with Hennepin County. The Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee
for Outlot A is deferred until such future time that Outlot A is developed.
7. The standard requirements for Developers Agreement and Financial Security in
relation to site improvements are hereby waived.
8. It is the Council's intent in approving this preliminary plat to accommodate the
needs of the citizenry of Orono, Long Lake and Medina by providing a site for
a new Long Lake Fire Station; however, because of the location of the site in
a rural residential neighborhood, it is imperative that the character of that
neighborhood be preserved to the greatest extent possible. Ancillary elements of
the Fire Station use such as lighting and signage could have negative impacts on
the neighborhood if not developed in a subdued, low-key manner. Therefore, the
applicants are advised to work with City staff in ensuring that the lighting,
signage and other elements of the Fire Station use are developed in a manner
• sensitive to the surrounding area.
