CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. of -way would make the proposed southern lots (Lots 2 and 3) unbuildable. The Developer has shown a 15 -foot right-of-way dedication beyond the existing Northern Avenue consistent with the Staff recommendation during the sketch plan review. 10. The Property is within Hardcover Tier 3 allowing 35% impervious surface. Per the tier assignment methodology established in Zoning Code Section 78-1701, all proposed lots will remain within Tier 3. Each lot can be developed well within the hardcover limitation of 35%, as in each case the entire lot including the wetland and buffer areas would be creditable toward hardcover. 11. Standard perimeter drainage and utility easements around all individual property boundaries in the plat will be required. 12. The City has no current plans for trails or parks that specifically require dedication of land from this property. The Comprehensive Plan does not suggest the need for parks or trails in this area, therefore, park dedication will be satisfied with a cash donation as required by City Code. 13.

The Developer should prepare a final plat application which responds to and incorporates these recommendations. 14.
