Contractor, were present. <br />Weinberger stated this is a sketch plan review. The Applicants are interested in subdividing the <br />property into two buildable tots. The total acreage consists of approximately nine acres of dry <br />buildable land, with the minimum lot size being five acres in the RR-1A district. Weinberger stated <br />there is an issue with the amount of v/etlands in the area. <br />Weinberger stated the most appropriate way to subdivide the property would be to do a lot line <br />r£ arrangement because three separate tax parcels exist. <br />Filbrandt stated in approximately 1979, the City Council elected to make this property five acres, <br />with the surrounding land being zoned two acres. Filbrandt acknowledged that there is some <br />wetlands in the area which will need to be delineated.

Weinberger staled they have considered a lot line rearrangement and a <br />replatting of the property. <br />Weinberger stated there currently exist three separate tax parcels which have not been combined <br />and could potentially be sold as three separate lots. Weinberger stated it is possible that Lot A <br />would meet the minimum five acre standard, which has not been determined at this time due to the <br />lack of a wetland delineation. The property consists of 27 acres. 17 of which are considered to be <br />wetland. <br />A lot line rearrangement is not currently permitted by code the way it could potentially occur on this <br />lot. The City of Orono has used lot line rearrangements when there are two lots that could be <br />developed residentially to create lots that are more comparable in size with the zoning in the area. <br />Weinberger staled a lot line rearrangement in this case would allow the number of dwelling units to <br />incr ease on this property from what currently exists. The ordinance requires that there be two <br />cc' t erming lots, and does not allow for any flexible zoning issues such as a variance. <br />Weinberger stated according to the way the Ordinance currently reads, the only way to legally <br />Page 13
