Re uested Action Prelimina and Final Plat review
Location and Size: Approximately 1.78 acres north of Meadowvale
Road
Overview
The applicant requests approval to subdivide his property into three lots. The future intended land
use is single family residential. The lots will be served by Municipal Water and Sewer.
Analysis
T'he property was originally the subject of an administrative subdivision, Rolfe's Addition. The
applicant originally applied for a simple plat. The ordinance does not allow the City to approve a
simple plat for previously administratively subdivided property. Due to the nature of the request,
Staff felt concurrent review of the Preliminary and Final Plat applications as appropriate.
Comprehensive Plan
The proposed land use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for the property.
Lots/density- The three created lots will range in size 21,545 to 29,657 square feet, all larger than
the minimum requirement of 11,000 square feet. The density proposed is consistent with that
prescribed in the comprehensive plan.
Natural Resources
Trees -The home construction on lots 1 and 3 may involve some impact on an existing tree line.
Wetlands -There appears to be no impact on any wetlands.
Parks
Park Plan -The Comprehensive Park Plan does not indicate any park target area in the wider area.
A trail corridor is indicated along Meadowvale Road. Given the limitations of the site, staff would
recommend that a 10' wide trial easement be placed along Meadowvale Road.
Park and Recreation Commission Recommendation -Given the Comprehensive Park Plan, staff
recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend that park dedication be paid in
the form of cash for 3 lots.

1. Park dedication shall be in the form of cash for three (3) lots at the rate applicable at
the time of final plat approval.
2. A 10-foot trail easement along the entire length of Meadowvale Road, as it adjoins

MEMORANDUM
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: April 11, 2007
SUBJECT: Orono Park Charette
Steve Wensman of Hoisington Koegler will be present to facilitate a design workshop for
the future development of Orono Park. The location of the YMCA and the potential future
change in land use on the county fair site make this a good time to consider all alternatives
for Orono Park.
Park Commissioners and parks and recreation staff will participate in an open discussion,
with multiple alternatives to react to. Participants will review the alternatives and use a
system to visually record preferences. Through this process we should see some direction on
a preferred or the likely new "consolidated" option.
