<br />Commented [JB4]: Commissioner Bollis advocated for
<br />“an appropriate turnaround”. The term circular is critical as
<br />fire code allows for a hammerhead, the city of Orono has
<br />consistently required circular turnarounds. A non circular
<br />turnaround is a hammerhead, a definition that could be
<br />added.
<br />Commented [JB5]: Zoning: Dry buildable means that
<br />portion of the lot not encumbered by the waters of a
<br />duly recorded lake or river, wetlands, bluffs, or slopes

<br />classification, which we are doing away with.
