. �-o�o , CITY OF ORONO RESOLUT'ION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ��'l.� �,G`� N o. � 6 3 2 kESH�� 9) Is the proposed use 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? This standard requires that the proposed grading and improvements must not substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the properties in the area or have an 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 land alterations to create a road will not change the intended residential use of the property so there should be no change in the use of adjacent properties resulting from the project, subject to mitigation of potential vehicle headlight impacts to the property across Homestead Trail from the road entrance. However, the activity of land alteration generally for construction of the road as well as future development of homes in Medina served by the road may have a temporary adverse impact on neighbors. Trucks hauling and equipment working on the site will likely result in additional noise, dust, vi6ration and traffic on the haul routes and immediate neighbors. To the degree possible, negative impacts should be limited and mitigated. 10) Will the proposed use be provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses? The location of the road access onto Homestead Trail may have negative impacts to a future dwelling on the property directly west across Homestead Trail caused by vehicle headlights, such that mitigation on that neighboring property by vegetative screening or other means may be desirable. 11) Will the proposed use create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means? See#9 above. 12) Will the proposed use 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 within Orono, if any, should be submitted and will be monitored for damage and debris. The applicant will be required to keep debris off of the public roadways. The portions of the land alteration project in Orono will evaluated by and monitored by the City Engineer and planning staff so as to minimize nuisances during the project. Page 5 of 9
