Zoning File #1583 August 16, 1990 Page 3 Please Review Exhibit E. In the recent Sketch Plan reviews for this property, the City staff has failed to note that there are no designated wetlands on this property. The limitations on the site remain the 75' setback line and the 931.5' flood plain elevation. Review Exhibit I. The applicant proposes the filli,ig in of the f lood plain and matching excavations in other- sections of the f lood plain. This type of land alteration not only involves review by the MCWD, but the DNR and the Corps of Engineers and will require separate conditional use permit and variance application with the City of Orono. In reviewing Exhibit I you will also note that applicant has attempted to ad(:Tess the hardcover excesses by installing catch basins and dry wells designed to treat run-off before entering lake. Applicant note: that hardcover from all drives have been directed to the catch basins. Note the drainage arrows designated on drainage plan define drainage paths to catch basins. Staff Comments First, staff would like to compliment the applicant for responding to the concerns addressed in the original sketch plan review (Exhibit F). We have before us a far more realistic proposal, very similar to the one approved in 1982 by the City for three units. The following issues must be addressed to provide direction for the filing of formal plans of development: 1. Access/sewer easements. The City will ask the applicant to contact the three involved property owners. Depending upon the individual responses, the City will be obligated to commence condemnation if necessary. Responses of the neighbors must be received prior to the filing of the formal application so that the City may com:hence the condemnation at the time of filing the application. 2. Approved densities. what level is reasonable for the site? a. 1n 1982 the City approved three units. The exception was included in these considerations. The majority of Lot 31 is located within the 75' setback ar-a. The inclusion of 31 does not help the density. Remember gross density is at 2.76. Tiie area of Lot 31 does not increast, the buildable area of the restricted buildinq envelope. h, would you approve three units :f hardcover was reduced? How does the Planning Commission accept applicant's counter proposal with the catch basin/dry well treatment of run-off? Will it affect your decision?
