CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 7 Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; the Applicant is grading the Property to keep the mass of the proposed home lower while still creating a walk -out design. The proposed lower design is in order to attempt to be consistent with the surrounding residential neighborhood. 8. Compatible with the character of buildings anti site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; the Applicant is proposing to substantially grade the Property to create a large "swale" providing drainage from the proposed home and likely facilitate lake views from all levels of the proposed home. The grading will allow the height of the proposed home to be minimized and still allow for a lower level walk out on the lake side. The grading will be reviewed and monitored closely by the City's engineer to assure that all existing drainage patterns are maintained and adjacent properties are not adversely impacted. 9. Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; the result of the proposed grading will not change the intended residential use of the Property so there should be no change in the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties resulting from the export of fill materials. However, the activity of exporting approximately 2,000 cubic yards of fill, actively grading the property, and the construction of the home may have a temporary adverse impact on neighbors, surrounding properties in the Fox Hill neighborhood, and users of Heritage Lane. Trucks hauling materials will access via the existing Shoreline Drive curb cut. The trucks hauling and equipment working on the site will likely result in additional noise, dust, vibration and traffic on the haul routes and immediate neighbors. To the degree possible, negative impacts should be limited and mitigated. 10. Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; the finished grade will be vegetated and landscaped, it should blend into the property. The project, once completed, should not result in undesirable views requiring mitigation. 11. Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; See #9 above. 12. Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; The haul routes should be submitted to the City and will be monitored for damage and debris. The Applicants will be required to keep debris off of the public 6
