CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan <br /> � 3. Vehicular access to the site has limitations due to e�cisting and future expected traffic patterns and <br /> adjacent roadway confi�urations, sugbesting that a low intensity residential use should be favored <br /> over potentially hiyher-intensity uses that miaht be available via a conditional use permit. <br /> 4. The property is at a location hiahly visible to traffic entering Orono from the east. Development <br /> at this site might be considered as a `main entrance' to Orono, and as such will inherently set a tone as <br /> to the character of the City, and therefore a visually low-intensiry use of the site should be strived for. <br /> 5. The property abuts the Luce Line Trail, which as it traverses Orono has a completely different <br /> feel than it does in Plymouth to the east; a rural feel rather than a suburban feel. Development of a 40- <br /> �0 unit residential buildin� rather than 9 individual buildin,s is anticipated to result in a more <br /> compact, centered footprint, not as spread out as the previousl�pproved 9 sin�le familv homes. This <br /> has a potential to then retain more of the lon�views to the southwest enjoyed bv trail users, �iven that <br /> those views are now of a freewav and railroad corridor. Due to the trail crossin� of the freeway <br /> immediatelv west of the property, this is one of the verv few locations in Orono traversed by the trail <br /> where denser development mi;ht not seem out of place. n����'��m��* ���;���� �'��c:'� �� ":b" <br /> b ' <br /> 6. Residential development at a density of 2 or more units per dry buildable acre would be <br /> inconsistent with existing and expected residential development surrounding the property. While the <br /> property in Long Lake to the north is zoned to allow up to 4 units per acre, it has developed in the <br /> past with a wide range of lot sizes and at a substantially lower density than it is zoned for. The above <br /> factors su�aest that this location tends itself to a low-intensit ,y low-profile multi-family use such as <br /> senior assisted living. The traffic �enerated by this use would be limited, and the profile of the <br /> residents would not require immediate adjacency to most urban amenities. Therefore,development of <br /> such a use at a densitv of up to 10 dwellin�units per acre would be appropriate for the site. <br /> Planned Development Parameters <br /> Land Use Plan Amendment-�98H 2O09 <br /> In addition to the permitted, conditional and accessory uses allowed within the RR-1 B zoning district, this <br /> amendment allows for residential development of Site E at a density of . �l��e <br /> no more than 10 dwellina units per net dry buildable acre (i.e. exclusive of <br /> wetlands and required wetland buffers). Based on the net area bein� 4.9 acres, this would allow a <br /> maYimum of 49 units. The followina parameters shall be adhered to for any residential development of <br /> Site E at a density greater than 0.5 units per aE�e-a�net dry buildable acre of land: <br /> . , <br /> ' b <br /> �Z�.g�� <br /> � nn.,�,:.�.,,.., ., ri,t,o.-„�a...oii:.,,� . ,:,� ,., e;+,, s ��,.,ii tio ., o in� <br /> ' ' b <br /> � <br /> ' D a b � <br /> � b ' <br /> f <br /> ' b ' <br /> ' D b <br /> � .. .. . <br /> 1.
