Orono Property P.U.D. Submittal 5 November 1993 C.Zoning The property is currently zoned RRIB, one family rural residential - 2 ac. The developer proposes to rezone the property to a residential P.U.D. with a gross density of 1 unit per acre. D. The Project The project site is located within the MUSA line and is considered pan of the Highway 12 Corridor. The general area to the west and south is undeveloped but guided for multiple housing to the south and commercial adjacent to Highway 12. To the west the Orono school system is planning a new elementary school and is presently using the old church site for daycare and other school purposes. Also, part of the Orono School site has a proposed ballfield recreational complex which is adjacent to the project site. The site itself has been heavily cultivated except for the wetlands along Willow Drive and the southern border of the property. The property has a very high water table making onsite septic systems unfeasible and envronmentally restrictive. City sewer and water can be extendi to the site which makes the project suitable for development witl'.out onsite septic systems. Of the various areas in Orono th:.t aie within the MUSA line and exhibit severe conditions for onsite septic systems, this property clearly should be served with City utilities and developed with reasonable density to make utility construction economically feasible. The development is being proposed at one unit per acre which is at the very low end of density that can afford the construction of City sewer and water. The project consists of 58 single family residential home sites that will be developed on lots ranging from 100 feet to 150 feec in width with lot depths varying from 170 feet to 400 feet plus. Each lot will be developed to match the site with a choice of pre-designed models. Each home will have a minimum two car garage with a driveway and major emphasis placed on walkout basements where topography allows.
