McDonald <br />stated that she was also concerned with the pollution <br />in Painters Creek and that with this proposed density <br />It could get worse. ^ <br />Adams stated that he sensed a great deal of opposition <br />on the part of the public but that he personally liked <br />the looks of the development. Adams stated that the <br />developers could come in and meet the letter of the law <br />and the development probably wouldn’t look as nice. <br />Adams noted that the development would be well <br />screened and that the extra 7 houses wouldn’t be that <br />noticeable. <br />Chairperson Goetten stated that at the last meeting <br />she was in favor of the application but that the <br />neighbor opposition concerns her. Goetten stated <br />that this IS a very well-designed plan and that she was <br />concerned with what the future will hold with this <br />piece of property. <br />Kelley stated that when he first saw the plan he was <br />overly impressed too but hearing the publics comments <br />stirred the real reason he joined the Planning <br />Commission. Kelley stated that the density should be <br />reduced. <br />McDonald stated that by approving the rezoning it <br />could set a precedent. <br />Goetten read for the record sections from the <br />Comprehensive Plan: <br />Although the typical two acre rural residential is <br />appropriate for the entire rural service area, the <br />northwest corner of the City is planned for a lower <br />density of one-unit per five acres . The citizens have <br />a traditional desire for more intensive rural guasi- <br />agricultural activites which require and support the <br />larger minimum lot density. Thus historical land use <br />and not environmental concerns have determined the <br />land use classification." <br />"Rural residential one-dwelling per two acre. This <br />IS the typical rural residential density developed and <br />planned to be permanently self supporting in all of <br />Orono s rural service area. No rural density will be <br />allowed greater than one unit per two acre except for <br />those existing residences and existing housing <br />clusters as identified in the CSPP. New rural <br />development may include housing clustering when <br />environmental and site conditions allow provided the <br />ovoiaJl density within the development conforms to <br />these requirements . <br />k Sv;. <br />V ^m <br />i <br />_ _“ •• - i - <br />tm•■31 <br />i <br />liMmm <br />paint:DEVELOPMEN <br />#805 JOHN <br />2640 WATEf <br />PRELIMINAP <br />PUBLIC HE/ <br />9:25 - 9:
