Other considerations for �pproval from the City of Orono: <br /> • We understand that tlie ability to create inore clense neighborhoo�s is liinited iii <br /> the City due to sewer/waier access and it is a goal to create 1ilore of these <br /> opporttmities. This proposal conforins to this area of Orono and would have a <br /> neighborhood feel sinlilar to the density thai surrounds this area of Orono and <br /> Loiig Lake. This new neighborhood would provide the opportunil:y to create lot <br /> sizes at 14,000 square feet and would fit well inio the surrounding area. <br /> . <br /> Tlus proposal offers a private recreation outlot area and it is our recommendai:ion <br /> that a trail be created along side the easement for the city water froin Long Lake. <br /> This ca.n be used for pedestria�l and bicycle tr•affic. This would provide a <br /> coiulection froin t11e Hackbeily neighborhood to the west to fihe more dense area <br /> of Glendale etc. in Long Lake to the east. This would tie together an extensive <br /> pedestrian/bicycle conidor. <br /> We appreciate your consideration of our proposed plan. We have addressed many of the <br /> coinments by staff and Planning Conunission. During this approval process we have also <br /> encountered the change in the Wetland Ordinance and have done our best to comply. It <br /> appears that without the recent changes this proposal would meet the requirements of the <br /> City of Orono a�ld the MCVVD. We are askiiig for a relatively minor compromise to the <br /> new ordinance and hope that the benefits of this new neighborhood offset these requests. <br />
