Today,the easement may not cover all areas of the wetland if the boundaries change due to delineation. A copy of the drainage easement and plat are attached. 4. Septic Systems The septic systems must be located at least 75 feet from the OHWL of Stubbs Bay Creek and 20 feet from any hardcover. Each lot is required to have a primary and secondary septic site and their sizes will vary depending on the number of bedrooms in the proposed structure. Orono code requires that sites with a capability to serve a 5- bedroom home must be identified. 5. Access Outlot A was platted to serve as a shared driveway for Lots 1 and 2 as part of the 1990 subdivision approval. As a requirement of the subdivision approval, an engineering plan, illustrating the location of the driveway from Watertown Road to Lot 1, was required. The plan also showed a wood plank/steel bridge crossing the Creek on Lot 1. Since the approval,neither the driveway nor the bridge was constructed, and current codes would prohibit their installation today. In 1992, the City adopted regulations regarding shoreland management, adding structural setback and hardcover requirements from tributary streams which did not previously exist. As a result,the proposed driveway location in Outlot A and bridge crossing the Creek in Lot 1 are not permitted. By today's regulations, hardcover can not be located within 75' of the OHWL of Stubbs Bay Creek. The 1991 Wetland Conservation Act also has potentially severe limitations on buildability of the lots. Access to both Lots 1 and 2 must be relocated away from the Creek. In order to accomplish this, replatting of a new access outlot on Lot 2 may be required. An access outlot would likely be platted 30' in width along the eastern side lot line of Lot 2, serving as access for both Lots 1 and 2. The following additional requirements would also apply to each lot: Lot 2: 1) Driveway Setback 5' from the eastern side lot line within the access outlot 2) Building Setback 50' from the access outlot Lot 1: 1) Driveway Setback 10' from the eastern side lot line within the access outlot 2) Driveway Construction requires City and other Agency approvals to fill a wetland to access the buildable portion of the lot As an alternative, access to Lot 1 from the Boyer subdivision to the west has been suggested instead of through Lot 2/Outlot A. This would require cooperation from the owners of that subdivision and a replat to create an outlot corridor. 2
