RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO.�} <br />4. The Property is guided in the 2008-2030 Orono Community Management Plan <br />(CMP) for single family residential use at a density of 1 unit per 5 acres (0.2 units <br />per acre). The proposed layout contains 2 lots on 16.16 non -wetland acres, for an <br />average density of 0.12 units per acre. <br />5. The proposed Lots and Outlots are characterized as follows: <br />Lot Areas <br />(all figures are approximate) <br />Wetland (acres) Total Dry (acres) <br />Total (acres) <br />Lot 1 <br />5.42 5.26 <br />10.68 <br />Lot 2 <br />1.58 936 <br />10.94 <br />(Addition to 480 Orchard Pk Rd) Outlot A <br />0.00 0.16 <br />0.16 <br />(Shared Driveway) Outlot B <br />0.01 1.38 <br />1.39 <br />Total <br />7.01 16.16 <br />23.17 <br />6. The proposed single-family development with 5 -plus acre lot sizes is consistent <br />with existing development in the surrounding neighborhood. Developed single <br />family lots surround this site on the west, south and east; an undeveloped 10 -acre <br />parcel is to the immediate north. While a majority of the surrounding properties <br />are nominally 5 acres in area, a very small 0.4 acre lot with existing home (480 <br />Orchard Park Road) abuts a westerly corner of the property. The property <br />includes a considerable amount of delineated wetland in 4 distinct basins, <br />scattered among low hills. Most of the property is open fields, with scattered <br />trees near the homestead and along wetland edges. The property consists of parts <br />or all of 5 existing lots originally platted in 1914. <br />7. The property currently consists of a single 23 -acre parcel with a home, detached <br />garage and a number of other accessory structures. The proposed plat splits the <br />site to create two lots for single family residential development. Both lots will be <br />served by a shared driveway extending eastward from Orchard Park Road in <br />Outlot B, such shared driveway splitting into two individual driveways at the <br />eastern terminus of Outlot B. Lots 1 and 2 are quite irregularly shaped due to the <br />odd overall property shape, the location of wetlands, and in order to contain <br />sufficient dry buildable acreage in each lot while establishing desirable homesites <br />and incorporating suitable sites for on-site sewage treatment systems. <br />Page 2 of 9 <br />
