Zoning File #1080 March 9, 1987 Page 5 Findings Based on Inventory: 1. 755% of the total lots surveyed within this portion of the Stubbs Bay I.R- lA zoning district are substandard - per required 2 acres standard. 2. 3 [ ( 1 ), ( 3 ) & ( 4 ) ref er to Exhibit M to determine numera 1 classification) of the 6 subject lots are substandard per proposed LR-lA zoning districts. 3. The rezoning of the subject properties will not result in an increase in density based on existing rural standards - required contiguous dry land per building area and no wetlands credit because area is unsewered. 4. If the area to be rezoned (southern portion) within the r property is replatted per current rural standards, it will resu7 a decrease in density. There is only enough dry contiguous la,.. co support 2 building sites. 5. If the Miner parcels are sold "as is", the lot containing the Andrew Miner homestead (3) per Exhibit F and the lake cabin lot (1) per Exhibit F, will not require variance reviews. 6. The six properties considered within the rezoning fall within the upper 25% of the 112 lots surveyed, ranging from 1.5 acres to 5acres building enielopes. 7. 23.6% of the 112 lots considered satisfy the current LR-lA zoning standards. 8. If the properties were to receive sewer, the Burger and Miner property densities could be increased under a PRD mode of development. It would be staffs opinion that standards of formal platting would not allow an increase in density (even with wetlands credit) based on configuration o: dry area in boner property and location of recent improvements and buildings .)n Burger property. This would also be true for the Maus property. Review of Application #1080 - Applicant, City of Orono - In November of 1986, staff met with Mr. McDowell and property owners to discus,-, amending the proposed application. In light of the ma jot outcry frc,m property owners within the surrounding RR-lA zoning -listrict - not to wtntion the opposition from the many property owners in surrounding LR-lA and LR-lB zoning districts - staff advised that the application be amended to include only the area of the prcperties located within 1,000 feet of the lakeshore in the rezoning.
