Hello Jeremy,
We discussed both items in our plat review committee mtg today (01/28) and offer the following
preliminary thoughts for your team’s consideration:
CSAH 15 (Carman St Parcels)
· If the watershed district concludes there to be developable land here, our 1st
recommendation would be to pursue an access easement to the east (commercial
parcel). With the high crash rates and nearly 20,000 vehicles per day along this segment
of Shoreline Dr we need to avoid direct access when we can. If an easement proves not
to be a viable option, will need to combine two sites into one shared access.
· Access should be between Navarre and the existing remnant curb cut app. 20’ to the
east. Most importantly would be ensuring adequate sight distance and maintaining a
positive offset for opposing left turns (with EB left turns @ Navarre) as we recently
restriped (2019 overlay) this segment into a shared center left-turn lane
· Driveway needs to have level landing to allow for optimal sight distance
· Need to have site grading avoid need for any retaining walls along Shoreline Dr
· If/when replatting we likely would request right-of-way dedication to match a 45’ half
section (33’ half ROW today).
· Please submit a drainage report when available
CSAH 6 (1485 6th Ave N)
Access is okay as is (pending verification of adequate sight distance)
When replatting we likely would request a 50’ half right-of-way section (33’ half today) + a
10’ D+U easement
For drainage pipe under CSAH 6, that empties into the lake on the west end of the
subdivision plat, ensure adequate easement exists or can be dedicated to allow sufficient
space for maintenance
We request the gravel driveway on the east side of the lake be removed (appears this is
no longer needed?)
Ensure an access easement covers all three existing parcels served by the driveway
Please submit a drainage report when available
Thank you Jeremy for bringing these items to our attention early on in the process. Please keep us
involved should either item continue to move forward

Subject: [External] Subdivisions proposed in Orono
Bob,
The City of Orono has received two sketch plan proposals for properties with frontage on Hennepin
County Roads. The first is a proposed subdivision of 2474 and 2480 Carman Street, the applicant
would split each of these lots, essentially creating two buildable lots with frontage and access off of
Shoreline Dr. (See attachment Subject Parcels). Does the County have any recommendation relative
to access location, type (shared driveway, etc.)?
The second is a proposed subdivision at 1485 Sixth Avenue (see Newell Sketch Plan, attached),
where the applicants proposed to split the large 24 acre parcel into three, with two lots fronting on
6th Avenue N. The proposed private road would be located over an existing driveway. The plans
suggest access off of this new private road.
We would appreciate any comments the County can offer prior to February 3rd. Please feel free to
give me a call if you have any questions.
