The proposed plat consists of two residential lots each meeting the minimum lot area requirement of the RR — 1A, One Family Rural Residential Zoning District each meeting a minimum of 5 acres of contiguous dry buildable land. 4. The proposed subdivision to create residential lots of five acres in area or larger conforms to the provision of the RR-lA Zoning District and the Rural Residential guiding as established in the Orono 2000-2020 Community Management Plan, with the following exceptions: a. Proposed Lot 1, Block 1, as shown on the survey by Meyer-Rohlin, Inc., dated January 24, 2006, has a width of 220.68' and requires a variance from the minimum 300' width requirement as established by the RR -1A, One Family Rural Residential Zoning District. • b. Proposed Lot 2, Block 1, as shown on the survey by Meyer-Rohlin, Inc., dated January 24, 2006, has a width of 270.19' and requires a variance from the minimum 300' width requirement as established by the RR-lA, One Family Rural Residential Zoning District 5. The required variances to lot width are justified by the existing width of the property; the fact that no additional land is available to be acquired to gain the necessary width; that platting of a front -back lot configuration would be impractical due to the topography related to the proposed building pad locations; and that the existing home and outbuildings as well as proposed residence structures can easily meet all setback requirements. 6. Both proposed Lots 1 and 2 will be served with private wells and septic systems. 7. Proposed Lot 2 contains an existing house and four outbuildings all of which will remain. 8. Both proposed Lots 1 and 2 will be served off the existing driveway access from Townline Road. 9. The westerly 33 feet of the property will be dedicated as Townline Road • public road right-of-way.
