COUNCIL MEETING To: Orono Council Members I A A Y 2 s 1-1'5 CITY OF ORONO From: Michael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zonino Administrator Date: May 22, 1985 Sub;ect: #897 Janet & Chuck Peterson, 825 Old Long Lake Road - Preliminary Subdivision This item was tabled at your May 13th meeting pending testing of an alternate drainfield site for the existing house, and pending a review of the need for a drainage easement over the swaled area of the property. Septic testing has been submitted and has located suitable area for an alternate drainfield site adjacent to the existing drainfield. City Engineer, Glenn Cook and staff have reinspected the site and find that the swale which generally runs along or parallel to the lot boundary, drains essentially just these two properties, a relatively small area. The swale does not appear to have the characteristic vegetation or topography to warrant designation as a wetland. A 10' wide drainage and utility ease- ment along either side of the division line will be acceptable. Any future redevelopement or reconstruction on proposed Lot I may wish to consider a minor redirection of the swale to conform to the drainage easement along the lot line. Each lot contains the required two acres of dry buildable land. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary subdivision subject to the following conditions: 1. Standard drainage and utility easements to be shown on plat (10' wide drainage and utility easement along either side of the division line). 2. Park fee to be paid for the new lot in the amount of $209.
