3. Building Massing <br />We will design the projects to have a height of 30' (average of roof slope). The <br />highpoint of the Orono Apartments is 14'2" LOWER than the highpoint of the <br />Stonebay condos. We are also comparable in height to the recently approved <br />Orono Senior Housing Community on the adjacent site to the East of our site. <br />We believe that our project will fit well into the community physically while meeting the <br />needs of the community in general by providing market rate rental housing in an area <br />that has a great need for this type of housing. We will look forward to concept approval <br />so that we can develop the engineering and architectural plans for your review and final <br />approval. <br />We have updated the area calculations for the parking, hard cover areas and the floor <br />area ratios based the developed plan. <br />The final hard cover calculations show a hardcover of 55% which means that we have <br />45% green space. The previous plan approved (Phase II of the medical office proposal) <br />had a hard cover of 71.14% thus leaving a green space of 28.86%. We have therefore <br />decreased the hard cover by 16.14%. Therefore, storm water runoff has been <br />decreased from the previous project. <br />Thank you for your consideration. We will look forward to addressing any questions you <br />have of us. <br />John Patch <br />Orono Apartments <br />Neil Weber, AIA <br />Weber Architects & Planners <br />
