Measurements are based on this combination. The developer has not provided anticipated house design, though house pads have been anticipated. It is expected that each home would be individually designed to accommodate its particular lot. Conservation design. A conservation design plan has been prepared, and is attached as Exhibit K. This plan supplements the original conservation design plan prepared for the Tanager Estates Plat, Exhibit L. The grading plan (Exhibit C) also shows proposed tree removal due to grading, utility, or home construction. This should not be considered as the final tree removal plan, but was requested to get a sense of tree removal impacts based on information known at the time. Most of the environmentally sensitive areas of the property are located on the north side of the parcel. The bluff and heavy Shoreland vegetation in this area are proposed to be maintained. It should be noted that shoreland and bluff regulations, including additional setbacks and restrictions will apply in these areas, further protecting these areas. The objectives of the Conservation design process are: (1) Protection and enhancement of drainage-ways and water quality; The project will conform to water protection regulations and policies. (2) Protection and enhancement of ecological communities; The large wetland and the sensitive bluffs will be preserved. (3) Reinforcement and establishment of ecological connections throughout the city; The development is based on Orono’s rural development principals. (4) Augmentation and preservation of view sheds including corridor enclosure and buffering; The site is not a designated view corridor. The addition of the homes is not likely to negatively impact the views into the area. (5) Preservation and improvement of views; and The location of the homes and the plat improvements are not expected to negatively impact the view into or out of the property. (6) Preservation or reinterpretation of local landmarks. None have been identified The design plan comments on the control of invasive species, including Buckthorn, Reed Canary Grass and Garlic Mustard.
