Lots abutting a lake or tributary(lots 3, <br /> 4, and 5) are measured at the OHWL and at the building setback line. Lot 1 is a corner <br /> lot, with frontage on both Orono Orchard Road and the new road. The ordinance requires <br /> a width measurement at the narrowest frontage, Orono Orchard Road. <br /> Gross Buildable Width Adjusted <br /> area Area (acres) (feet) width (feet) <br /> Lot 1 2.19 2.07 21 200+* *removing OOR frontage <br /> Lot 2 8.17 2.3 132 <br /> Lot 3 3.53 2.53 200+ Lot abutting tributary <br /> Lot 4 7.84 2.01 200+ Lot abutting tributary <br /> Lot 5 16.72 , 2 200+ Lot abutting tributary <br /> The applicant's engineers have provided documentation suggesting that all lots meet the <br /> 2.0 acre dry buildable requirements. Buildable area is shown in gray on Exhibit C. <br /> Lots. Septic sites have not been verified for the proposed lots. Additional analysis <br /> follows: <br /> Lot 1. Most of Lot 1 is buildable, though a wetland and its buffer dominates the <br /> buildable area. However,the lot appears to include adequate area for a house pad. <br /> The width of Lot 1 does not meet the strict requirements written in the ordinance. <br /> However, if an outlot is added(for a future entrance monument or similar feature) <br /> between lot 1 and Orono Orchard Road, removing this frontage from Lot 1, Lot 1 will <br /> meet the requirement. <br /> Lot 2. About 30% of lot 2 is buildable,with the balance being a large wetland. There <br /> appear to be some steep slopes on the property, limiting building sites. The Planning <br /> Commission should discuss whether the buildable area(in gray_on the sketch plan <br /> represents contiguous area. There does appear to be adequate space for home <br /> construction. Lot 2 cannot meet the width requirement at the current configuration. <br /> Lengthening the road to increase frontage for lot 2 may correct the issue. <br /> Lot 3. Lot 3 represents the most challenging lot for future building, given the scale of <br /> home anticipated, and the limited building area. The northern edge of the lot is a <br /> tributary, Long Lake Creek. An existing sanitary sewer easement runs through the <br /> property. Lot 3 also contains a small wetland, in addition to a portion of the larger <br /> wetland on the west side of the property. The buildable area for Lot 3 is minimal. <br /> Due to the sanitary sewer easement and the tributary setbacks,the house will likely be <br /> forced to the south of the easement, where the buildable envelope is approximately 90 <br /> feet wide, including the side yard setback of 30 feet. <br /> Lot 4. Lot 4 is a large lot, with about 75% in wetland. There appears to be adequate <br /> area for a house pad on generally flat ground. <br />
