1 2. The property contains 1.58 acres in total lot area# all of which is considered as dry buildable land. 3. The proposed subdivision contains two lots. Proposed Lot 1 contains the existing residence and detached garage# and contains approximately 0.62 acres in lot area and 76* in lot width. Proposed Lot 2 is proposed as a new vacant building site# and contains 0.96 acre in total lot area and approximately 300* in lot width. The lot area of Lot 2 by definition is r':.duced to approximately 0.90 acre due to the reduction for a driveway easement bisecting the property. 4. Proposed Lot 1 requires a lot area variance of .38 acres or 38% and a 2 requires a lot width variance of 64* or 46%. Proposed Lot lot area variance of 0.10 acre or 10%. 5. The property is served by two existing sewer stubs, one of which is currently used for the existing residence. The property was assessed a total of two sewer units as part of the 1970 LS“1 sewer project. 6. The proposed subdivision would leave an excessive amount of hardcover on Lot 1 with the existing residence. In the 250-500* zone, hardcover on Lot 1 would be 74.13% where a maximum hardcover allowance of 30% normally applies. Lot 2 would not require a hardcover variance, and could potentially be developed without the need for a hardcover variance. The property in total contains approximately 16.4% hardcover in the 75-250* zone, and approximately 17.9% in the 250-500* zone, conforming to the maximum respective 25% and 30% hardcover allowances for a single lot. However, in order to have Lot 1 continue with conforming hardcover percentages, the 250-500* zone area for Lot 1 would have to increase by approximately 8,176 s.f., which would make Lot 2, the proposed building site, even more substandard in lot area. 7. The Orono Zoning Code has required a minimum of 140* width and 1 acre building lot size for this property since 1959. Page 2 of 8 •*-* wv. r—V r*<-
