0,4 a �4 CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. `a 608 9. The Planning Commission has recommended that a conservation easement be dedicated over the rear portions all properties, with the exception of Lot 1, Block 3, in order to preserve the natural viewshed provided by the long slopes. 10. Due to steep slopes and the proximity to wetlands, it is critical that as much stormwater and snowmelt runoff from the development as is feasible be discharged to the proposed stormwater quality pond to be located within Lot 1, Block 2, and within Outlot A. 11. The City has no current plans for trails or parks that specifically require dedication of land from this property. Because dedication of land for park purposes is not required at this location, a Park Dedication Fee in lieu of land per City Ordinance would be appropriate. 13. The applicant has submitted preliminary recommendations from Applied Ecological Services (AES) dated January 15, 2007 with regards to Conservation Design. The topics addressed by AES include forest preservation; forest enhancement and expansion; wetland preservation; wetland replacement and enhancement; vegetated buffer establishment; stormwater management; and ecological restoration and management. It would be appropriate and desirable that the developer adhere to the AES recommendations. 14. All proposed lots have been tested and found capable of providing suitable primary and alternate sites for on-site sewage treatment systems. For all lots, mound systems will be required. Special precautions, including but not limited to protective covenants as well as physical barriers during construction activity, must be taken to protect these sites on both a short-term and long-term basis, as municipal sewers are not projected to be extended to serve this area of Orono. 15. All proposed lots will contain suitable area meeting all established setback requirements to allow the construction of single family residences. Page 3 of 10
