Typically, in lieu of establishing a new zoning district,the city rezones <br /> • these types of developments to RPUD, which was established for this purpose. Noted above, a <br /> variance may be necessary to meet this setback. Previous approvals for this site were granted <br /> this flexibility; (Eisinger Flats 16-3822). This setback and external setbacks are the only identified <br /> flexibilities requested. Alternatively,for discussion, a new zoning district could be created. <br /> Building design <br /> The building style and design are the important component of the overall character of the <br /> neighborhood. While the final design of the buildings hasn't yet been established, the Planning <br /> Commission should talk about their goals for the property. <br /> The applicant has offered different possibilities for the building architecture. The buildings are <br /> predominately 2 stories, with varying facade planes, to break up the long buildings and adding <br /> shadow and other'texture'. The buildings are of a stacked design,the developer intends for one <br /> unit to be above another;for example,there would be 8 units on the ground floor and 8 units on <br /> the second floor,all with ground level private entry,as described in the applicant's narrative. This <br /> is a unique building style in Orono in recent years,the Planning Commission may want to provide <br /> feedback. <br /> Public Comments <br /> To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> • Issues for Consideration <br />
