1>eAfpr" MINUTES OF THE 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 7S'setback. Since the original subdivision was created prior to the 1994 adoption of “front lot/back lot” standards (Sections 78*1370 and 82>2S6), die 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 as a back lot must meet a 3 acre tmnitmim (it does); • Lot 1 is subject to 1S0% of the standard setbacks. • AcceutoLot I mustbe via a 30* driveway outlot (as proposed) • Lot 2 is subject to a SO* side street setback from the driveway outlet, rather than a 30* side setback. Gafifron lutranarized die Regulatory Impacts as follows: 1. for The 968' OHWL along the creek is the contour from which setbacks should be measured this property. The key OHWL setbacks that affect development of the site are: • 100* structure setback from OHWL • 75' septic setback from OHWL • no hardcover allowed within 75'of OHWL Areu below the OHWL will not count toward lot area calculations. The lot dry/wet areas and the OHWL setbacks as shown by the surveyor appesr 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 I, due to non-buddability of wetland and the 26' setback requirement. 4. The original approvals to construct a driveway within existing Outlot A die creek, and to construct a creek crossing, are no longer valid, because the driveway and creek crossing were never constructed and new, more restrictive regulations have since bees adopted which would make such construction a violation of current codes.
