Property includes <br />SITE B 5 separate tax parcels with 5 existing residences plus outbuildings, and is <br />(Parcel Group 2, currently zoned for single family rural development at a density of 1 unit per 2 <br />Map 3B-7) acres, llie new Highway 12 route is planned to abut the south side of this <br />property, paralleling the railroad track. <br />SmClnra^traUai <br />Gross site area east of major wetland: 35 Kres l <br />Area of additional wetlands In e^ half of site: • 4 acres t <br />AreatobelostductoHwy I2b>'pass: ■ 2 acres ♦ <br />Net dry buildabte for development: 49 acres t <br />Easterly 25 acres b relatively flat will, high-watertable solb <br />and interspersed wetland pockets. Not easily developable <br />with septic systems. Mostly open fields that have been <br />firmed previously. <br />Westerly 30 acres has 5V^•\5V^ slopes, eventually dropping a <br />total of 50* down to major wetland basin. Soils are better <br />suited for use of septic systems, but slopes may be a factor <br />for individual sites. Thb area is more wooded and contains <br />apple orchard. <br />This site has a number of factors which make it unattractive <br />for 2-acre rural residential development as currently zoned, <br />including: <br />• Location between two highway corridors b not conducive <br />to rural development, <br />- Location across from Indus^l Park b not conducive to <br />rural development. <br />• Site abutt one of the busiest Intersections In Orono. <br />• East half of site b poorly suited for development w ith <br />septic sy stems <br />Municipal sewer and water are relatively available as <br />compared to most other areas of the City; the site b adjacent <br />to exbting MUSA and b a logical MUSA expansion point. <br />Thb site has d’lrec' access to iilerial and collector road <br />system, and b relatively near urban services as compared to <br />most other areas of the City. Furthermore, thb site b <br />separated fn>m existing rural neighborhoods by the Orono <br />Schools, by existing wetlands, by the existing railroad, and by <br />e.xbting and future road/railroad corridors. Because of these <br />separations, development at higher densities will have little <br />impact on adjacent rural character neighborhoods. <br />Site B Residential Development Options! <br />pnEMUtir PgtlHngVnm PimltY. <br />Current 2-acre zoning 16-18 Uniu OJunits/ac. <br />(septic s> stems) <br />2-acre zoning 20-22 Units 0.4 units/ac. <br />(sewered, standard plat) <br />2-acrc zoning 24 Uniu 0.5 units.ac. <br />(sewered.
