Box 66 Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 September 26,2003 Jane Lee,Real Estate Representative MnDOT -Metropolitan Division Waters Edge Building 1500 County Road B2 Roseville, MN 55113 Re: Post-acquisition Zoning Status of Properties along Highway 12 Route Dear Ms. Lee: You have inquired as to the post-acquisition zoning status of certain MnDOT-acquired properties which MnDOT proposes to re-sell. The properties you have inquired about specifically include: 1200/1230/1290 Orono Oaks Drive; 1180 Lyman Avenue; 365 Old Crystal Bay Road North; and 375/380 Silver Meadow Drive. All of the above properties are located in the RR-1B Rural Residential Zoning District requiring a minimum lot area of 2.0 dry buildable acres and a minimum lot width of 200'. Required property setbacks for principal structures are 50'front and rear, 30'sides, 50'side street. We have now been provided with approximate"before"and"after"lot azea information for the properties in question. None of the above listed properties are provided with municipal sanitary sewer; they are all served by septic systems.Each non-served property is required to have a conforming septic system and an alternate site available for future use. You have provided the City with septic system testing information which we have reviewed. Based on the information provided,the following are our conclusions regarding the status of these properties as you prepare to re-sell them: Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 www ci.orono.mn.us . MnDOT Lots 9/26/03 Page 2 1180 Lpman Avenue(Developed residential lot) Proposed Legal Description: (metes and bounds) Lot Standards: Gross area prior to MnDOT Acquisition: 1.48 acres (Area var. granted 1987) Proposed gross area: 1.1 acre approx. Lot area becomes more nonconforming to the 2.0 acre minimum standazd. The impact of this is that total reconstruction on the site would require a lot area variance. House Setbacks: Proposed rear house setback is approximately 20-25'. Required = 50'. The rear yard becomes substandard, and no additions to the existing home within 50' of the rear lot line would be allowed. The house becomes nonconforming as to location. On-site systems: Proposed tested drainfield sites have been rejected because they do not conform to minimum City requirements, to wit: a) Primary site is a performance system. b) Alternate site is within City cul-de-sac easement, the ultimate use of which would be for road purposes. c) Primary site does not meet required 20' setback to property line. The use of a performance system as a primary system for an existing residence is allowed only when a standard system is not feasible due to pre-existing lot limitations, or only when a site is concurrently approved and preserved meeting the requirements for a standard system. The use of the City road easement for a primary or alternate site will not be allowed. The extreme length of Lyman Avenue suggests that future development of a cul-de- sac will likely be warranted,and the City has to date acquired 2/3 of the area for such a cul-de-sac, including the easement area within 1180 Lyman Avenue. If septic sites do not exist,the only reasonable alternative would be to remove the house,the site becomes unbuildable, and attach it to adjoining lot(s) as additional yard area. MnDOT Lots 9/26/03 Page 3 1200 Orono Oaks Drive (Developed residential lot) Proposed Brief Legal Description: Lot 6 and part of Lot 5, Block 1, Orono Oaks Lot standazds: Proposed gross area(no wetlands): 2.8 acres (Conforming lot area) House setbacks remain conforming. On-site systems: Proposed tested drainfield sites have been rejected because they do not conform to minimum City requirements, to wit: a) Neither mound site proposed meets City setback to driveway of 20'or state code setback of 10'. b) Alternate site does not meet 20'required setback to property line. c) Primary site does not meet required 20' setback to property line. While the 10' setbacks to lot lines are not necessarily onerous, the setbacks to the driveway are of particular concern, because the primary site will impose lateral underground flows downhill directly towazd the existing driveway,potentially causing it damage and/or the driveway compaction will tend to block any such potential flows, which could cause surfacing of sewage; and the alternate site abutting the downhill side of the driveway will potentially be negatively impacted by runoff directly from the driveway or by snowmelt from snow plowed onto the mound. Because both sites as designed contain inherent risks, the City is not supportive of granting variances to allow such systems. MnDOT Lots 9/26/03 Page 4 1230 Orono Oaks Drive (Developed residential lot) Proposed Brief Legal Description: Part of Lot 4 and Part of Lot 5,Block 1, Orono Oaks Lot Standards: Proposed gross lot area: 1.8 acres (Appears to include no wetlands) Lot area becomes non-conforming to the 2.0 acre minimum standard. The impact of this is that total reconshuction on the site would require a lot azea variance. House setbacks: Proposed rear house setback: 25' (15' from wall easement); Required=50' The rear yard becomes substandard, and no additions to the existing home within 50' of the rear lot line would be allowed. The house becomes nonconfornung as to location. On-Site Systems: Proposed tested drainfield sites and designs are acceptable.Highway construction will eliminate part or all of existing drainfield (which is nonconforming and must be replaced by 2010). Once existing system is destroyed,City will not allow occupancy of residence until new primary septic system is installed. 1290 Orono Oaks Drive (Developed residential lot) Proposed Brief Legal Description: Part of Lot 3 and Part of Lot 4,Block 1, Orono Oaks Lot Standards: Proposed gross lot area: 1.9 acres Proposed net dry buildable lot azea(excl.wetlands): 1.8 acres Lot area becomes non-conforming to the 2.0 acre minimum standard. The impact of this is that total reconstruction on the site would require a lot area variance. House setbacks: Rear corner of house ends up 20' from reaz lot line, 10' from perm. wall easement and abutting temp. construction easement. Required rear yard setback is 50'. The rear yard becomes substandazd, and no additions to the existing home within 50' of the rear lot line would be allowed. The house becomes nonconforming as to location. On-site systems: Existing and identified future drainfield sites not affected. The existing on- site system is considered as conforming. MnDOT Lots 9/26/03 Page 5 380 Silver Meadow Drive (Developed residential lot) Proposed Brief Legal Description: Part of Lot 4,Block 1,Meyer Dairy Addition Lot Standards: Proposed Gross Lot Area:: 1.6 Acres approx. Lot area becomes non-conforming to the 2.0 acre minimum standard. The impact of this is that total reconstruction on the site would require a lot area variance. House setbacks: Proposed rear(north)yard setback appears to be reduced to 40'where 50'is required. The rear yard becomes substandard, and no additions to the existing home within 50' of the rear lot line would be allowed. The house becomes nonconforming as to location. On-Site Systems: Existing septic system is not impacted. Highway construction will eliminate part or all of former tested alternate site, so a new alternate site should be tested and submitted for approval. 375 Silver Meadow Drive (Previously developed residential lot now vacant) Proposed Brief Legal Description: Part of Lot 3,Block 1, Meyer Dairy Addition Lot Standards: Proposed Gross Lot Area: 1.2-1.4 Acres approx. Lot area becomes non-conforming to the 2.0 acre minimum standard. The impact of this is that total reconstruction on the site would require a lot area variance. House setbacks: House has been removed. Re-use of the site for residential use would require a lot area variance, and provision of conforming house location and septic system sites. On-Site Systems: Re-usability of existing system is unknown but doubtful. Potential impacts may have occurred to possible alternate sites by house moving process. This azea is not provided with municipal sewer.The post-taking lot size of just over one acre is nonconforming. If MnDOT can show that suitable primary and alternate drainfield sites are available,and that a new home can be constructed meeting all City location requirements, then a variance for lot area might be granted if applied for.The alternative is to sell this land to one or more adjacent property owners as additional yard area. MnDOT Lots 9/26/03 Page 6 365 Old Crystal Bay Road N. (Previously developed residential lot now vacant) Proposed Legal Description: (metes and bounds) Lot Standazds: Proposed Gross Lot Area: Approx. 6.0 acres Lot area is conforming to the 2.0 acre minimum. Lot width remaining is approximately 200'(requires 200'to be considered as conforming in width). House setbacks: House has been removed. Subdividability: Lot has potential to be divided into two lots, a front lot of at least two acres and a reaz lot of at least 3 acres would be required. The rear lot would be accessed by a 30'outlot containing a private driveway under city codes. � On-Site Systems: Testing has been submitted and approved for primary and alternate drainfield sites for a"west lot" and an"east lot". As we discussed on September 11,we understand it is MnDOT's policy to sell the properties as-is with full disclosure of their status in relation to local codes. You are free to distribute the above information,with the caveat that lot azea and setback data is merely estimated from provided plans and may not be completely accurate. In cases where you propose to move lot lines or create new lots, Orono does have a subdivision ordinance requiring Planning Commission review and Council approval. I am enclosing the on-site system review information from Matt Bolterman,Orono's Septic Systems Inspector. You can contact Matt at 952-249-4600 if you wish to discuss his conclusions. We have the copies of the septic testing and design reports here in the office if you wish to retrieve them. Please feel free to contact me at 952-249-4600 if I can be of further assistance. I will be on vacation from September 27 through October 13, so if you have questions during that time please feel free to contact Matt Bolterman or City Administrator Ron Moorse.
