MEMORANI�UIVI To: Mike Gaffron Fromo Steve Bohl Date: January 20,2006 Re: MacKinnon Hill Proposal,Prelimiinar�y 1'lat Application (Revised) Revisions: Januaiy 20, 2006 1. Following the meeting last BVednesday regarding the storm water/wetland issues we will be moving the storm water pond to east side of the wetland. Thi� was recommended by Renae from MCWD and appears to accomplish our need to minimize mitigation. We u�nderstand that any grading needed to create this storm water pond will need to be brought back to a candition that will appear natural. We will submit this to you for review as soon as complete. At that tiane we will also be submittang this application to MCWD, MCWD staff said they will complete the review and scheclnle for the Board af Managers meeting as soon as a preliminary plat is approved by Oa�ono. 2. We have shown the road at 24' in width as suggested in the Resolution. 3. Lot 3,Block 2 I have in�cluded a house plan and grading plan for this site. This is a plan that I will 6uild as a model for this lot. This will help us determine how we can best design this home on the lot. The grading plan for Lot 3, Block 2 has a 30' side setback on the south property line. Previous notes suggested 40',however with this grading plan it has a better solution for limiting gr-ading and retaining trees. 4. Regarding limiting grading on the rear yards for lots 1 & Z Block 3. I believe we can manage this by using best practices when we design the home. In ord�er to ensure that grades are not draanatically changed in the future I would suggest we include in the Covenants; Any boulder walls th�t are constructed (other than those used for a�alkaut grade next to the home) be limited to 3-4 ` in height. At no time may the rear yard retaining walis exceed 6 feet in height i� the effort to flatten out a back yard� 5. ltegarding the setbacks on I,ots 1-3,Block 1 for lim►iting uses around tl�e septic sites,I would like to limit to �25' setback froan the proposed sites that I believe is customary in Orono.
