Conforming <br />11 10% Private Recreational Area (Active <br />and/or Passive) <br />No final calculations have been completed, but <br />the Community amenity area would quality as <br />private recreation space. <br />12 Common Ownership Conforming. Association documents required. <br />13 Signage Signage located, details not yet developed. <br />14 Landscaping Landscaping plans have not been developed <br />15 Architectural Standards Elevations provided, conceptually appear <br />conforming. <br />16 Flexibility from standards Requested: External Setbacks. <br />17 Traffic Studies Not suggested. <br />18 Building Permits Expected. <br />19 General regulations applicability Expected. <br />20 Lighting Lighting plans not yet developed. <br />21 Trails Sidewalks and public walks proposed. <br /> <br /> <br />Analysis: <br />The current zoning, RR-1B, is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and the zoning must <br />change per state statute. 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 /> <br /> <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 /> <br />The applicant has offered different possibilities for the building architecture. The buildings are <br />predominately 2 stories, with varying façade 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 /> <br /> <br />Public Comments <br />To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> <br /> <br />Issues for Consideration
