t I FTHE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, January 20,2004 6:00 o'clock p.m. from creeks and wetlands since the late I970's; tested sites for Lot I were accepted at less than a 73' setback. Since the original subdivision was created prior to dtft 1994 adoption of "front lot/back lot" starulards (Sections 78*1370 and 82-256), the existing lots aren ’t subject to these special setback and area requirements, but because new lots are being created, the subdivision will be subject to those standards. The impacts include: - Lot I u a back lot must meet a 3 acre minimum (it does); - Lot I is subject to 130% of the standard setbacks. - Access to Lot I must be via a 30' driveway oudot (as proposed) • Lot 2 is subject to a 30' side street setback from the driveway outlet, rafrier dun a 30' side setback. Gaffron summarized the Regulatory Impacts as follows: 1. fr)r The 968' OHWL along frie creek is frie contour from which sefr)acks should be measured this pn^ierty. The key OHWL sediacks that affect development of the site are: • 100'structure seAack from OHWL • 73' septic setback from OHWL • no hardcover allowed within 75' of OHWL Areas below the OHWL will not count toward lot area calculations. The lot dxyAvet areas and fr» OHWL sed)scks as shown by die surveyor appear to be acceptable. Wetland delineations and the OHWL determination have established boundaries which have a somewhat limiting effect on the buildable area, especially of Lot 1, due to non-buildability of wetland and frie 26' setback requiienumt 4. The original ai^nrovals to constmct a driveway wifriin existing Oudot A paralleling the creek, and to construct a creek crouing, are no longer valid, because dre driveway and credc crossing were never constructed and new, more restrictive regulations have since been adopted which would make such construction a violation of current codes.
