07' 1. 43 1- e-0 topography as is. 'Nees in the 0 -75 area are not shown on the sketch an approximation of trees inside the 75 - 125 are indicated. I would like to keep all trees if possible and the home design demonstrates this. The homes to be built will average approximately 5,500 sq. ft., three car garage (no boats will be allowed to be stored outside), normal deckage, and sidewalk from driveway to main entry. The existing PRD code is very brad and subject to approval of the council to grant \,ariances and in this case the undue hardship caused by the unique peninsula leaving a great amount of open land requires variances. I have proposed an optimal configuration for the city to give variances for proper placement of the three home sites rather than cramming into the envelope and destroying numerous trees. We would lik^ the Planning Commission to consider: TOTAL SITE 120,395 SQ. FT. BASED ON STAFF'S BUILDABLE ENVELOPE 22,000 SQ. FT. THE PER CENTAGE OF BUILDABLE LAND TO THE TOTAL LAND IS 18% With PRD format of development an applicant may gain benefit of total gross area for density credit. Total gross area 2.76 acres Allowed density is 5 units Refer to Exhibit B: The City approved plan of 1978 had a :iardcover of "i2% A revised PRD plan concept Jan 25, 1982 the hardcover was i4% Marco Franklins proposal 1990 Staff calculated at approximately 60% The City approved at Lot 20, 1376 Baldur Park (the property adjacent to the proposed site) a new garage in 1976 and renovated house 1980 with the HARDCOVER OF 121%, and I believe this home has been added to SINCE that time again. At 1408 Baldur Park Rd the Ci*y approved remodelirr the existing house and building a new garage with a variance for garage setback from 75' to 54'. We request a variance to allow a total of b6% hardcover in the buildable envelope to include the 3 homes, garage , decks, sidewalks, and driveways inside the 75-125 setback. This represents less than 12% of the total PRD land. In addition I am requesting that portions of the homesite number 1 be allowed a lakeshore setback to the DNR requirement of 50' as shown on the enclosed site plan. ,n turn, I will hold back from the 75' line on homesite 3. This will allow keeping of existing trees. As this is a sketch plan I am showing approximate pl:;i i^r a nl size of the homes. Some repositioning or shifting of homesites maybe necessary but within uie vva hardcover allowance. We have met with Jeanr. Mabusth on several occasions. ine have attended an Orono Planning Commission meeting as observers. We have met with the neighbors. Jean and I would very mu,-h like to become part of your Orono community and have put our hest faith effort forward for your review. We hope you look kindly on it. Thank You. r
