w ► F/;:fet’:,'. 2 ? i. \:\ c •* o .1 <2-= topography as is. Trees in the 0 -75 area are not shown on the sketch an approximation of trees inside the 75 - 125 are indicated. I would like to keep all trees if possible and the home design demonstrates this. The homes to be built will average approximately 5,500 sq. ft., three car garage (no boats will be allowed to be stored outside), normal deckage, and sidewalk from driveway to main entry. The existing PRD code is very broad and subject to approval of the council to grant variances and in this case the undue hardship caused by the unique peninsula leaving a great amount of open land requires variances. I have proposed an optimal configuration for the city to give variances for proper placement of the three home sites rather than cramming into the envelope and destroying nunerous trees. We would like the Planning Commission to consider: TOTAL SITE BASED ON STAFF'S BUILDABLE ENVELOPE 120,395 SQ. FT. 22,000 SQ. FT. THE PER CENTAGE OF BUILDABLE LAND TO THE TOTAL LAND IS 18% With PRD format of development an applicant may gain benefit of total gross area for density credit. Total gross area 2.76 acres Allowed density is 5 units Refer to Exhibit B: The City approved plan of 2978 had a hardcover of 72% A revised PRD plan concept Jan 25, 1982 the hardcover was 74% Marco Franklins proposal 1990 Staff calculated at approximately 60% Ihe City approved at Lot 20, 1376 Baldur Park (the property adjacent to the proposed site) a new garage in 1976 and renovated house 1980 with the HARDCOVER OF 121%, aux3 I believe this home has been added to SINCE that time again. At 1408 Baldur Park Rd the City approved remodeling the existing house and building a new garage with a variance for garage setback from 75* to 54'. We request a variance to allow a total of 66% hardcover in the buildable envelope to include the 3 homes, garages, decks, sidewalks, and driveways inside the 75-125 setbacic. This represents less than 12% of the total PRD land. In addition I am requesting that portions of the homesite nimber 1 be allowed a lakeshcre setback to the DNR requirement of 50' as shown on the enclosed site plan. In turn, I will hold back from the 75' line on homesite 3. This will allow keeping of existing trees. As this is a sketch plan I am showing approximate position and size of the homes. Some repositioning or shifting of homesites maybe necessary but within the 66% hardcover allowance. We have met with Jeanne Mabusth on several occasions. We have attended an Orono "Planning Commission meeting as observers. We have met with the neighbors. Jean and I would very much like to become part of your Orono community and have put our best faith effort forward for your review. We hc^ you look kindly on it. Thank You. -5-
