15-3734 � � <br /> May 14,2015 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> Relationship to Surrounding Development <br /> The proposed single-family development with 2-plus acre lot sizes is cflnsistent with existing <br /> development in the surrounding neighborhood. Rural-scale single family lots surround this site <br /> on all sides. <br /> General Site Chacacteristics <br /> The portion of the properties to be developed for new single-family lots is somewhat remote <br /> from surrounding public raads. The properry slopes downward generally frorn a high point at the <br /> southwest to a large we�Iand complex to the northeast and east. A srnaller wetland to the <br /> northwest will also impact development of the site. The wetlands have been delineated an.d aze <br /> depicted on the sketch plan - MCWD confirmation of the wetland boundaries is apparently <br /> pending. The portion of the properties encompassed by the wetland to the east is within the <br /> Shoreland Overlay District, while the uplauds are outside that District. The area being developed <br /> is for the most part open field, with a larger wooded area encompassing most of the "firture <br /> development"pazcel in the west portion of the site. <br /> Lot Layout and Lat Standards <br /> The property consists of two sepazate parcels totaling 31 acres. "l�he northerly parcel, 350 Stubbs <br /> Bay Rd.N., contains an existi.ng single fa,mily residence which accesses from Stubbs Bay Rd and <br /> will be conta.ined within proposed Lot 5. An existing older residence structure on the southerly <br /> parcel would be removed, as it is within the proposed private road conidor just north of the <br /> existing Kintyre road cul-de-sac. All lots are proposed to be served with private wells and septic <br /> systems. Septic testing has not yet been conducted. <br /> According to the RR-1B Zoning District standards all of the lots must contain 2.0 dry, buildable <br /> acres and meet a 200' width requirement at the road frontage as well as at the 50-foot principal <br /> building setback from the road. The individual lots lay out as follows: <br /> Lot 1� This lot is shown as having 2.25 dry acres and a portion of a small open pond <br /> at the extreme I�,� corner. The lot contains an area of 2Q% + slopes with more <br /> gradual slopes further east. As depicted, the lot width is 196' at the S4' front <br /> setback, just short of the 200' width requirement. The lot narrows slightly to <br /> 149' at the rear. Wetland 2 is shown to be located entirely within this proposed <br /> lot. <br /> Lot 2: Tl�is lot contains 0.26 acres of wetland, the larger being along its north <br /> boundary, and a portion of a sma11 open pond at the extreme SE corner. the lot <br /> has a dry buildable area of 2.02 acres. A portion of the lot neaz the anticipated <br /> building site has slapes in the 20%range. The required 35' wetland setback to <br /> structures will likely force the building to be in the south half of the lot. <br /> Lot 3: The lat as proposed contains 2.00 acres of dry buildable plus a 0.1 b acre <br /> portion of wetland at the very eas� end. Slopes appear to be in the 5-10% <br /> range. Thi.s lot rneets the 200' width requirement and there should be no <br /> problem meeting all required setbacks. <br />
