The individual <br />lot was platted at Tracts A and B, RLS 926. A copy of the RLS is attached as Exhibit F. <br />The property totals only 3 .66 acres. Based on the property having only 3 .66 acres it is not possible to <br />subdivide the property without granting a lot area variance for one of the properties for a lot less than <br />2 acres. If the properties would be split along the old property line a lot width variance would be <br />required because the lot would have frontage along the street of less than 200'. <br />Mike Gaffron, Orono Planning Director, has prepared a memo that provides a background history of <br />the 960 North Brown Road property. The memo is attached as Exhibit E. <br />City Policy Relating to Combined Parcels <br />The City of Orono has encouraged parcels held in common ownership to be combined when <br />properties do not meet minimum requirements for lot area and/or width.
