Per Exhibit C, the Bryson parcel will incorporate Record Lots 66, 59 and½ of 44. The Johnson parcel will include½ of Record Lot 44 plus the 4 parcels that comprise Record Lot 31. Staff will be presenting a comprehensive update of Section 10.31 (the RS District/Big Island) later this year to make all the changes to it since 1984.

Based on the new property line location, the drainfield and tanks would now be located on the same property as the cabin they serve. 3. Propet1y owners shall have their surveyor provide legal descriptions for drainage and utility easements 5' along the interior prope11y line and 1 O' on exterior propet1y lines. 4. A title opinion shall be completed and provided to the City of Orono, prior to filing the new property descriptions. 5.
