Aesthetically, <br />aecoasory structure such as garages, sheds, barns, etc. do not <br />mil me T It visually enhance a residential neighborhood. ; ii. Accessory <br />etructuro* over 1000 s.f. are classified differently in the Building <br />Code and have different standards for construction and design than <br />those under 1000 s.f.jlii. Accessory structures over 1000 s.f. have a <br />high potential for housing a commvrciai operation in a residential <br />tone. <br />Staff mould ask Planning Commission to consider the -uture <br />impact of allowing a 12,000 s.f. recreational facility to be <br />eenatrueted in a residential zone. Although the MacMiliana have <br />resided in Orono a long time and apparently do not anticipate any <br />change# this structure will likely be in place for many decades. It <br />has a DOtential to be used as a commercial recreational facility, <br />although ttMt is not the owner's intent. <br />Planning Commission should consider the future ramifications of <br />the recreational structure, and perhaps consider what conditions <br />should be placed on its use (since this is a variance request, you can <br />put conditions on the approval). <br />Item P. OtiUtes <br />i. ON-8ZTB 8EMAGE TREATMENT. Municipal sewer is not available to <br />serve this property, hence all sewage treatment needs moat be met on­ <br />site. No soil testing has been performed or submitted yet due to <br />frosen ground conditions, but staff has reviewed the aenn. Co. Soil <br />Survey which indicates the soils on the site consist mainly of <br />"Kilkenny* loams and clay loams with relatively steep slopes. Tmm <br />•oils generally have slower percolation rates and seasonally high <br />voter tables, often requiring the use of mound-type dralnflelds (the <br />•oioting residence uses a mound system located adjacent (or under) to <br />the proposed access driveway). <br />Staff suggests that given the site includes 13.S acres, it is <br />probable that suitable drainfield sites can be found, but the best <br />sites might net be very close to the proposed structures. Careful <br />testing and design work will be needed to assure that the sewage <br />treatment needs will be met. A separata system should be constructed <br />and alternate site preserved for each structure. The existing mound <br />for the existing residence is apparently in a functional condition, <br />but the proposed driveway must be relocated about 40*-50* further <br />south to avoid any disturbance of that system (note that it appears a <br />vehicle has already driven right over the top of the mound and left <br />wheel ruts over its base - this must not be used as an access unless <br />applicant plans to replace this systemT) <br />ii.
