� o� <br /> 0 0 <br /> '�� - CITY of ORONO <br /> � <br /> ,� , ;� �, <br /> �',� ;� �'�' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> �`9.k- SI'ip4"� NO. � � � � <br /> e property is guided in the 2000-2020 Orono Community Management Plan(CMP) <br /> for single family residential use at a density of 1 unit per 2 acres. The proposed layout <br /> contains 7 lots on 14.0 non-wetland acres. Based on the City ordinances that <br /> exclude road right-of-way from a calculable area, the only way the code density <br /> requirement can be met for 7 lots is via a Planned Residential Development (PRD). <br /> 4. The Property is located within the MUSA and is intended to be developed using <br /> municipal sewer. The proposed use for residential purposes would be in conformity <br /> with the CMP as long as density standards are met. <br /> 5. The nature of the Property is such that a relatively small poi-tion of the 20-acre total <br /> is suitable for ach.tal construction, due to the existence within the boi.uldaries of the site <br /> of wetlands, draina�e ways, Lonj Lake Creek, steep slopes, and discontinuous areas <br /> of dry buildable land that would have to be linked via lon�dnveways across wetlands <br /> or the creek in order to be developed. The Council finds that the property is <br /> appropriate for development as a PRD, specifically to allow for clustering of <br /> development to allow for preservation of a large portion of the site. <br /> 6. The proposed plat creates 7 individual lots that are proposed to be developed with <br /> hoines clustered within an area approximately 300 feet by 500 feet, on the high knoll <br /> in the westerly quadrant of the property. Individual lot sizes exclusive of proposed <br /> road and conservation outlot areas and stormwater ponding areas,will range in gross <br /> area from approxinlately 3/4 acre to just over 2 acres. Lot widths measured at the <br /> street setback line range from approximately 90' to over 200'. <br /> 7. In arder to create the degree of open space and building separation that characterizes <br /> Orono's 2-acre zones, the Developer has agreed to maintain 30' side setbacks for all <br /> lots, regardless of the size of the lot. Proposed Lot 3 contains an existing residence <br /> which will be only 15' from its northerly side lot line;this residence will be recognized <br /> as havin; a legal nonconforming setback, and if the house is replaced, all new <br /> construction would have to meet the 30' setback requirement. Additionally,to retain <br /> a buffer between the proposed homes and the two existing homes directly west in the <br /> Kallestad Acres subdivision,the westerly 50'of proposed Lots 1 and 2 will be subject <br /> to a conservation easement that disallows tree or vegetation removal or any accessory <br /> structures. <br /> Page 2 of 13 <br />
