Also examining grading costs and utility extension for a 2 acre plan shows u^t the the city promotes and would not be economically feasible for any developmem to occur. The orooosed revised Lundgren plan separates a 15 acre oudot along Highway 6. This oudot would te used to create ponding and weUand mitigation with fdl material being ^ rmsc the budding pads above the very high water table. The proposed road system winds its way ^fuUy through tire weti^pattems on tte site to minimize filling and to cluster the homes naturally with minimal disturbance to tire woods and perimeter areas. The revised Lundgren plan continues to access ad the proposed lots from an interior road sys^ No new lots would be created on the perimeter with direct driveway access out onto existmg roads. Wet^ aie^ could be controlled by conservation easements to protect the loijgterm nam^ .li homeowner’s association could be created to maintain common features of the subdmsion. ^erall revised plan represents high quality development that Lundgren bnn^ to aU of its .wbdivisi^ and we believe will be an asset to the Qty of Orono by providing diverse housing opportunities consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plaa With the development being close to Highway 12 and adjacent to Highway 6 and directly east of tire ICgh School property, we feel that tire proposed development matches its surrounding land uses and provides significant open space to tire north, promoting the rural character of the area. Based on concerns expressed by tire city, we beUeve our new plan tops aU the fine afreets ofour original proposal while addressing the Qty’s request for a reduced density for this parcel of pr^rty. I beSve tire plan offers a good blend of urban service development and mamtenance of the rural characteristics of the City of Orono. Sincerely. DAHLGREN. SHARDLOW AND UBAN C. John Uban CJUrsm
