SECTION 10.03, SIIBDIVISION 19 � • - FILE #1234 WHEREAS, John F. Dougan (hereinafter "the applicant") is the owner of the property located at 2785 White Oak Circle within the City of Orono (her'einafter "City") and legally described as follows: . Tract A, Registered Land Survey No. 1447, Hennepin County, Minnesota (hereinafter "the property" ) ; and WHER$AS, the applicant has applied to the City of Orono for a Conditional Use Permit to permit grading and excavation of a retention pond and swale for flood control purposes, per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdivision 19. • NOW, TH$REFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, i Minnesota: . . FIAIY3INGS l. This application was reviewed as Zoning File #1234. 2. The property is located in the RR-1B Single Family Rural Residential Zoning District. 3. On January 27, 1988, the Orono Planning Commission reviewed the application as proposed and recommended approval, finding that: A) The applicant°s property suffers flooding on an occasional basis. The property is relatively low within the watershed and the property is nearly level from west to east, hence drainage from the steeper watershed upstream slows down and accumulates on � app 1 icant's property. B) The drainageway through applicant's property is not a designated wetland. C) The applicant's drainfield is within the area that is occasionally flooded and is affected adversely during such ' periods. • Page 1 of 4 Cit� o� ORONO • RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � : � NO. 2365 • - • • D) The combination of pond excavation and associated fill to direct the drainage away from applicant's drainfield may have some beneficial effect on the drainfield but might not solve the back yard flooding problem without a more comprehensive project including neighboring properties downstream. The applicant has � acknowledged that this project may not solve the entire flooding problem. , E) The applicant has obtained the required permit from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. � 4. Work done by private property owners which was tacitly allowed by the City, which resulted in channelization of portions of the upstream watershed, may be contributing to some degree to the rate of run-off reaching applicant' s property. 5. The proposed grading and excavation will have no anticipated effect on the watershed upstream of the property, and is expected to have no significant effect on nutrient retention or rates or amounts � of run-off downstream from the property. 6. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by staff and commen�ts of the applicant and the effect of the proposed use on the health, safety and welfare of the community. 7. The City Counci 1 f inds• that granting a Conditiona 1 Use Permit to allow the grading and excavation of a retention pond and swale will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the public, would not adversely affect light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring properties, nor will it depreciate surrounding property values and that the proposed level of use of the property will be in keeping with the intent and objectives of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. CONCLIISIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS • Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a Conditional Use Permit per Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.03, Subdiv.ision 19 to permit the grading and excavation of a retentiori pond and swale for flood control purposes, subject to the following conditions: l.
