Memo to Mayor and City Council/P01-01 <br />February 20, 2001 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />the existing house is located. The property has frontage on Lake Orono and on <br />185th Avenue. <br /> <br />Access into the site is from 185th Avenue. The general layout of the plat is a loop <br />road with the lots fronting on the outside of the loop and the inside of the loop <br />being common open space. Five lots and one outlot will have frontage on Lake <br />Orono. The property is within the urban service area and the lots will be <br />connected to municipal sewer and water. <br /> <br />Layout <br /> <br />Streets <br /> <br />The main street through the plat is a loop road with a formal divided entrance and <br />exit from 185th Avenue. The applicant is proposing one-way traffic flow around <br />the loop. There will be a connection about midway through the loop to allow for <br />cross-over traffic. This connection will allow residents that live near the exit of the <br />development an opportunity to avoid driving all the way around the loop to get to <br />their driveway. <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing a 50 foot wide right-of-way and 20 foot wide roadway. <br />By having a narrower right-of-way, the developer is able to keep the house pads <br />out of the trees and preserve more of the trees on site. The 20 foot wide roadway <br />is wide enough to allow for one-way traffic. Typically with two-way traffic the city <br />requires roadways that are about 32 feet wide. The development will have <br />concrete curbs and gutters. The developer is proposing a 6 foot wide concrete <br />sidewalk on the dwelling side of the loop road. <br /> <br />Lots <br /> <br />The development includes 19 single family lots. The existing house will be <br />located on one of the lots. All of the lots exceed the 11,000 square foot minimum <br />lots size. Most of the lots(16) exceed 20,000 square feet in size. All of the lots <br />have frontage and access from the loop road. Six of the lots and one outlot have <br />lake frontage. <br /> <br />Five of the six outlots will be owned and maintained by a homeowners <br />association. Outlots A and E will provide a landscaped buffer along 185th <br />Avenue. Outlot B is the median on the entrance drive. Outlot C is the center <br />island of the loop road and will include a stormwater retention pond. Outlot D will <br />provide access to Lake Orono. Residents will be allowed to launch watercraft, <br />such as canoes, from this outlot. The number of boat slips and docks allowed on <br />this outlot is controlled by the Shoreline Ordinance and is based on the width of <br />the lot. Outlot F will be platted at some time in the future as two single family lots <br />and will be owned by the developer. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\SCOTT~P0101 CC. DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
