r TO: Orono Planning Commission <br />FROM: Dan and Ruth Parten <br />RE: Bayside Woods Subdivision <br />I. Proposal - Three Lot Subdivision <br />We propose a 3 lot subdivision with road outlot# including <br />r 18 foot wide gravel driveway to the turnaround, and a 14 <br />fwot wide gravel driveway co Lots 2 and 3. Lot 1 is <br />arranged to incorporate an alternate septic site as shown. <br />Variance Request - Lot Area <br />Proposed Lots 2 and 3 are 4.3 and 4.4 acres respectively, <br />Lot 1 is 6.0 acres and the proposed road outlot is 2.3 <br />acres. <br />The overall density of this project is 5.6 acres per <br />residence. The unique terrain of the property together with <br />the creation of a 50 foot wide road outlot of 2.3 acres <br />creates a hardship that we feel justifies the granting of a <br />variance. <br />Variance Reauest ^2 - Paving <br />We recognize that at t <br />could access up to si:, <br />three landlocked parcels <br />future date the driveway Outlot <br />jperties and provide access to <br />The additional cost of bituminous paving for the 1,250 foot <br />long driveway to the turnaround is approximately $23,000. <br />We feel that if paving is a requirement, those costs should <br />be shared by all benefiting parties. Therefore a variance is <br />being requested to waive, for the present time, paving of <br />the driveway. <br />II. Alternate - Two Lot Subdivision <br />If a variance for paving is out of the question we propose a <br />two lot subdivision, shown as "Exhibit A". The additional <br />expense of paving the driveway and turnaround make a three <br />lot plan economically impractical. <br />This plan produces two 5 acre plus parcels with no variances <br />required.
