John Ploetz, attorney for the applicants, was present. Mabusth explained this is a two lot subdivision in a 2 acre zoning district, of which both lots meet the area requirement. Lot 2 does not meet the required lot width at the 50’ setback. Both lots were shown meeting the iot wjtn standards with The original application. Septic information has been provided for both lots. She explained, a permit was issued by the State for the well for the existing residence, however, the well was approved at a 50’ setback opposed to a 75’ setback as required by Orono, for which a variance was granted. It has now been determined that the well is only 40’ from the alternate septic site, and if the alternate site is ever used, a new well would be required. It will be Imperative to make this known to future owners of the property. Drainage through the property has been rerouted along the west lot line to southern lot line. The applicant has agreed to reduce the size of the oversized accessory structure on the property, which currently exceeds 750 s.f. and requires a 15’ side setback. The applicants have agreed to develop the drive to the west of the outlet to provide a greater setback from trie lot line. She noted the City does not have setback requirements for private driveways and this may be included as a condition of subdivision approval. Ploetz noted the oroposed lot lines conform more closely with the current drainage pattern on the property. He reported the applicant has no problem with constructing the drive to the west of the out V r reducing the size of the accessory structure. Chair Senroeder inquired about the ownership of the property.
