E /F To: Planning Commission [Members From: mic)ael P. Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Date: Februar_, 6, 1986 Subject: #990 Ward Ferrell 3405-3411-3415 Watertown Road - Variances - Update to Memo of November 13, 1985 List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Memo of 11/13/85 With Exhibits Exhibit B - Survey of Property With Existing House Exhibit C - Soils Report, Site Plan For Existing House Exhibit D - Planning Commission Minutes 11/18/85 F_xH, E — C0rM0bt'?S1rF Sf- PLAN Mr. Ferrell has nu%, submitted the additional survey and soils report to show ail alternate drainfield site for the existing house. Given no future encroachments, there is adequate area on the lot with the existing house to replace the septic syst-m with a fully conforming system. Please review the memo of 11/13/85. As noted . n that memo and considering the additional information submitted, it appears technically possible to place a house, garage, driveway, well, and primary and alternate septic systems cn each of the lots. The possible house location would be somewhat l.mited by the drainfield sites. There wo-ild be potential c,)nf licts 4 f a situation occurred where an extremely large hcuso, pool, tennis cr,u-'�, etc. were proposed. The properties lerd themselves to rel :vely low levels of development. Finally, from a zoning code standpoint, evt.;n 'f only one new building site is granted, this is precedent. setting. In the past, Council and Planning Commission have generall.held the line in similar unsewered common ownership situations. Approval of 1 or 2 new building sites might have long-term i-pact on Orono's effectiveness in avoiding sewer. Weigh this against the applicant's meal and preceived rights as a property owner and the history of zoning code changes over the years. Are there sufficient justifications to grar:t a variance?
