Bellows, 265 Brown Road South - <br />Preliminary Subdivision <br />Zoning District - RR-lB - 2 acre <br />Application - 2 Lot Residential Subdivision <br />List of Exhibits <br />A - Application <br />B - Plat Map <br />C - Property Owners List <br />D - Survey <br />E - Air Photo with Wetlands Designation <br />Total Area = 7.09 acres <br />Contiguous Dry Buildable = 4.22 acres <br />Proposed Lot ”A" = 2.17 acres <br />Proposed Lot ”B” =2.05 acres (with existing house) <br />The applicants are planning to construct their new home on the <br />northerly portion of this property in approximately the location of <br />the existing shed. They plan to retain the house and property of Lot B <br />and rent out that house for a period of years to help finance the new <br />construction, then demolish the old house. Because Orono Code <br />generally does not allow a rental house on the same lot as the principal <br />structure, a subdivision is in order. <br />Applicant notes that she is proposing to use a shared driveway and <br />has discussed with Lhe County the possibility of moving the existing <br />driveway access further north where the grade will be flatter for a <br />safer access point. You may recall that the County requested an extra <br />7' of right-of-way be dedicated on the Krogness Plat in 1982, which the <br />Planning Commission at that time denied, noting that Brown Road is <br />classified in the Community Management Plan as a collector street and <br />that the existing 66' width was appropriate. Since the County <br />currently has no plans to expand Brown Road according to Les Weigelt of <br />the Planning Office, a 33' dedication is appropriate. <br />You will note that the proposed division line contains a number of <br />angles in order to accomodate the 30' side setback required while <br />maintaining primary and alternate drainfield sites for both lots, and <br />keeping 2 acres of contiguous dry buildable land for each let. Both <br />lots exceed the 200' required width at the building site and both lots <br />have adequate soils and area for primary and alternate drainfield <br />sites.
