Senn Lots Analysis Memo 4-3-03 Page 5 VI. Building& Development Standards The following are the minimum standards required to develop the lots at 3220 and 3240 Watertown Road for single family use: 1. Lot Area/Width Both lots are zoned RR-1B requiring a minimum contiguous dry buildable lot area of 2 acres and minimum lot width of 200 feet. While each of the two lots meets the 200' width standard, absent a wetland delineation it is unknown whether each meets the contiguous dry buildable area requirement. 2. Building Standards The maximum height permitted for a single family home is 30 feet and 2 '/2 stories. The setbacks for a principal structure in the RR-1B district, measured from the property lines, are as follows: Front Yard(from the south boundary of each lot): 50' Rear Yard(opposite the front): 50' Side Yard (abutting property to the east): 30' Side Yard (abutting property to the west): 30' From wells: 3' From septic systems: 20' From Stubbs Bay Creek: 100' from the OHWL From wetlands: 26' 3. Creek Requirements Stubbs Bay Creek, classified as a Tributary Stream, runs through both properties. All land within 300' of a Tributary Stream is subject to shoreland district requirements. Also, no hardcover is permitted within 75' of the OHWL of the Creek. Within the area from 75' to 250' of the OHWL of the Creek,no more than 25%hardcover is permitted. There is a flowage and conservation easement(labeled as a drainage easement on the plat) on the property that limits the use of the wetland and drainage ways. The easement surrounds the area located below the 970' elevation of the Creek. Today,the easement may not cover all areas of the wetland if the boundaries change due to delineation, and it may not accurately reflect the OHWL once that is determined for all segments of the creek.. A copy of the drainage easement and plat are attached. 4. Septic Systems All septic systems must be located at least 75 feet from the OHWL of Stubbs Bay Creek, 75' from wetlands, 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 minimum capability to serve a 5- bedroom home must be identified.
