r^f^ne C <br />s?• ♦ 1 <br />»•y <br />HARDCOVER ORPmANCT - In 1975, ^€Ke Orono City Council adopted an ordinance Uniting <br />the percentage of lot area that can be covered with impervious surfaces Chardcover-) <br />such as roofs, driveways, sidewalks, etc. on properties located within 1,000 feet of <br />a lake. Studies have shown that sediments, oils, and debris carried into the lake <br />from highly urbanised areas have a detrimental impact on the quality of water in the <br />lake. The Intent of Orono's ordinance is to ensure that rainfall run-off will be <br />cleansed by filtering through grassed or vegetated yard areas before entering the <br />lake. ^ <br />•• ♦ - <br />lake. <br />HARDCOVER SETBACK ZONES - PERCENTAGE ALLOWED <br />I. 0-75'* in the area within 75* of the lakeshore.
