ff04-3007 October 21,2004 Page 2 2.An additional drainage easement shall be required along the route of the ditch, to the 1012' elevation contour. No filling, structures or obstructions may be allowed within the drainage easement. 3.All structures shall be set back a minimum of 10' from the drainage easement, to allow for protection of the structures and to allow access to the rear of the house. 4.The lot shall also be subject to the standard LR-1A setbacks of 50' front and rear, 30' on the sides. The various setback requirements noted here and above result in a buildablc envelope approximately 50 ’ deep by 75 ’ wide. 5.A driveway to access the site shall be located so that it meets the required wetland setbacks and does not encroach the drainage easements. 6. 7. Lowest habitable floor elevation shall be no lower than elevation 1014'. Prior to Council action on the variance application, applicant shall provide for City Engineer approval a schematic house design and grading plan showing how all of the above conditions can be satisfied. 8.Prior to issuance of building permits, applicant shall provide sufficient soils/geotechnical and design information to establish that the proposed improvements will be structurally stable. 9. The City will concurrently with the resolution of variance approval adopt an ordinance amending the City ’s wetland map. 10.

The applicant has expressed an objection to Condition 10 which requires the property owner or developer of this lot to grant an easement west of the ditch and construct ponding, as well as pay for a portion of the road culvert replacement. The culvert replacement is part of a stormwater system upgrade for this sub-watershed as spelled out in the Orono Surface Water Management Plan. This culvert upgrade is necessary regardless whether this lot is developed, so there is a basis to eliminate this approval condition. Also in relation to Condition 10, the construction of ponding along the west property boundary is suggested by the City Engineer as a potential City project, although it would be relatively inexpensive to construct if such ponding became part of the required site grading plan rather than done by the City at a later date. Such ponding may reduce the overall size of any future upstream ponding needs. As a minimum, staff feels
