CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan <br /> Additional Development Factors, Site B <br /> This site has a number of factors which make it unamactive for 2-acre rural residential development as currently <br /> zoned, including: <br /> - Location between two highway corridors is not conducive to rural development. <br /> - Location across from Industrial Park is not conducive to rural development. <br /> - Site abuts one of the busiest intersections in Orono. <br /> - East half of site is poorly suited for development with septic systems. <br /> Municipal sewer and water are relatively available as compared to most other areas of the City. The site has direct <br /> access to arterial and collector road system, and is relatively near urban services as compared to most other areas of <br /> the City. Furthermore,the site is separated from existing rural nei�hborhoods by the Orono Schools,by existing <br /> wetlands, by the existing railroad, and by existing and future road/railroad corridors. Because of these separations, <br /> development at higher densities will have little impact on adjacent rural character neighborhoods. <br /> Development of this site will be required to adhere to the principles of Conservation Design. <br /> SITE C 20-30 acres east of Willow Drive <br /> (Parcel Group 3,Map 3B-7) between Watertown Road and BN Railway. <br /> Background,Site Characteristics Planned Development Current Development <br /> Parameters Status <br /> This group of properties was reguided in the 2000- Conversion from rural This properiy group <br /> 2020 CMP to allow for development of urban residential use(1 unit per 2 contains a church and the <br /> density single family homes.
