3. A resolution approving extension of sewer to rural area and <br />as required by M.W.C.C. list the unique findings surrounding <br />sewering of this rural property. <br />Review of Proposed Densities <br />1. Units allowed <br />per RR-1B (2 acres <br />dry contiguous) <br />unsewered <br />2. Units Allowed <br />per RR-1B District <br />sewered <br />3. Plan A <br />52 units sewered <br />4. Plan B <br />56 units sewered <br />Land Credit Units Per Acre <br />14+ - dry acres 6 to 7 units (area <br />of lots must be <br />exclusive of roadway) <br />24.69 (sewer provides 11 to 12 units <br />ability to credit lagoon, (density must be <br />wetlands) exclusive of roadways) <br />24.69 (sewer provides .47 acres per unit <br />ability to credit lagoon, (roadway area included) <br />wetlands) <br />24.69 (sewer provides .44 acres per unit <br />ability to credit lagoon, (roadway area included) <br />wetlands) <br />The City of Orono has no zoning that provides densities at the <br />levels proposed in Plans A & B. A formal application proposed at <br />these densities would require an amendment of the code and rezoning. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. Has the City approved rezonings with other sewer projects - either <br />formally by amendment or informally with individual landowners by <br />special resolution? I cannot remember a formal rezoning to higher <br />densities at the time of a sewer project. I do remember special <br />concessions granted to landowners that dealt with special densities. <br />For example, the owner of a three acre pacrel that was approved a 2 <br />unit density in a 2 acre per unit zone. <br />2. In consideration of Orono's Comprehensive Plan and the guidelines <br />established for development of rural area, how would you reconsile <br />densities proposed at this level? at a lesser level? <br />3. How can the applicant reconsile densities at this level in <br />consideration of the surrounding patterns of Orono neighborhoods? <br />4. Should our code provide other density credits in rural districts <br />that are served by sewer? Existing density credits - credit of wet- <br />lands area, sewered PRD's credit for roadways, if special performance <br />standards are satisfied in the LR-lC-1 district, an owner receives 50% <br />credit for each 1/2 acre unit providing one additional unit credit for <br />each acre (3 units per acre). <br />
