Dean Maeser <br />June 5, 1995 <br />Page 2 <br />If you have further questions regarding the above information or tax data, please address them <br />to Rolf Erickson, the City Assessor at 473-1844. <br />Regarding each of the scenarios noted above: <br />1. Rezoning. <br />Your nrocerty first came under zoning regulations in 1950. when the Towns^ <br />KrSa number of private residential districts. Your^P*.^ ^ <br />"^nihhs Rav District** rcQuiring a one acre nnininiuni lot size. <br />nonhwest portion of the «zo^ « eS^ «o^“ti,; <br />l^lstore’TOT rero^aT-LR-lA. One FamUy Lakeshore Residential <br />^uiring a two acre minimum lot size. Each of your ^ lots Jf <br />leM than one acre, and therefore each has been non-confomung m lot size since <br />1950. <br />Sewered oroperties directly south of "Hillside Park" remained at the one acre <br />Tonina standard in 1975. One of the main reasons the City chose to place a two <br />LT—fst^ on unsewered properties was that one acre lots genenj^ <br />were too small to support septic systems on a io^-term basts. ^ <br />1975 the City has brought sewer to a number of two acre zoned are^, but has <br />cSo Seduce theLmnum lot size requirement to one acre m those areas. <br />me rezoning of individual parcels in Orono is a rare occurrence, to <br />niThans ten cases since 1975. Each of those cases was umque, and those <br />^perries were uniquely situated. The majority involved commercially zoned <br />property. By comparison, your property is zoned residenual. and is <br />doz^of other sinular sewered properties in the two acre zone <br />although you are located very near the one acre zone, your <br />Ihat zone but is separated from it by right-of-way, the lake, ^d other lots. I cm <br />onlv envision the Planning Commission and Council considering a <br />vour moZZ ioonc acre in the context of rezoning your entire neighborhood. <br />1 expe« die^ity would be reluctant to do so, especially if a rezomng would allow <br />more houses to be developed in Orono’s low density rural zone. <br />Replat with lot area variances. <br />In this scenario you would propose to replat your three lots into wo lots, and <br />request lot area variances, me assumption is that your existing residence woul <br />recMin all other buildings would be removed, and a new house wouW <br />co^ti^aS on a lot to the west of your house. However, there are a number of <br />2.
