RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> � ��kESH04��' NO. � e� $�' � ' <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon one or more of <br /> the fmdings noted above, the City Council of the City of Orono hereby denies the requests for <br /> rezoning and a Comprehensive Plan amendment on a vote of 5 to 0 based on the following <br /> findings of fact: � <br /> FINDINGS <br /> 1. The applicant had submitted a request for rezoning the property from RR-1B two <br /> acre rural residential to R-lA one acre residential. The rezoning of the property <br /> - requires a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to allow the property to be <br /> developed at greater than two acre density. <br /> 2. The application was part of an request for a 49 lot subdivision and a conditional <br /> use permit to permit the property to develop as a Planned Residential <br /> Development. <br /> • 3. The property contains a total of 58.43 acres of land, w-ith 51.89 acres being dry <br /> buildable. <br /> � 4. On May 23, 1988 the City Council adopted Comprehensive Plan Amendment #2. <br /> Amendment 2 was a result of a land use study along the Highway 12 corridor. <br /> The area east of Old Crystal Bay Road, north of Highway 12, south of County <br /> Road 6 and west of Willow Drive was guided for two acre density single family <br /> homes. The Comprehensive Plan states the wetlands and natural vegetation in <br /> the area provide an excellent transition between the more intense use planned for <br /> the south and single family 2-acre to the north. Utilizing this as a break, the <br /> area to the north will remain at the 2-acre rural residential standard. <br /> 5. Rezoning the property would not provide an alternative housing style or provide <br /> . � for a housing need not being met. This plan appears to provide the types of <br /> housing that would be provided under the existing zoning. � <br /> • Page 2 of 4 <br />
