RESOLU�IITION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 6569 Tree Preservation Areas along the perimeter of the site and including the defined bluff areas, will be established, such areas to be subject to covenants for tree protection. The trees existing on the subject parcel range from poor to good health. The majority appear to be in good health. Dead trees will be removed from the lots if they are within grading areas or if they pose a safety hazard. Other protective measures include the review of any home building plans by an architectural review committee in order to minimize tree loss. Perimeter areas around the wetlands are protected by MCWD required wetland buffers. There will be 110 trees removed for the construction of the extension of Heritage Lane and the new cul de sac. Within individual lots, tree clearing will be avoided to the extent possible, but due to the lots being located within the maple basswood forest, a certain amount of tree clearing will be unavoidable. Building pad footprints have been selected to take advantage of natural clearings and existing flat grades whenever possible. When clearing is required, removal will first focus on undesirable tree species. Any significant trees that are removed will be replaced at the required ratio and all work will abide by any Orono city code regarding tree replacement. Due to the proposed house locations within the maple basswood forest, all positive views will remain, with the residences protected from view by the large trees. The rolling hills onsite will further assist with the protection from negative views. 15. The property is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The Developer has proposed to serve each of Lots 1, 2 and 3 with municipal sewer via the existing municipal pressure sewer force main located within Heritage Lane. The Property was not assessed for construction of the 1998 Shoreline/Heritage sewer project and will be subject to the appropriate connection charge per the Orono Fee Schedule. An engineering design for the new sewer connection will be required prior to final plat approval. The anticipated design will include an extension of the municipal forcemain to the new cul-de-sac, with each of the three new homes having an individual grinder pump discharging to the force main. 16. The proposed site grading plan includes creation of individual house building pads as part of the subdivision improvements for Lots 1 and 2. The "existing grades" for measuring building heights and number of stories will be the proposed grades as shown on the grading plan. Find 12/15/15 (V7) MPG Page 6 of 12
