However, it would appear that the application#08-3350 is premature unless a total site <br /> plan, that calls for no other variances,has been filed and approved pending the requested 2 variances. <br /> I simply do not have enough information about the total plan to know if the concerns I would have about <br /> the proj ect have any foundation. <br /> My chief concerns would be: <br /> 1. The adequacy of the grading, drainage and storm water runoff plan. <br /> 2. If Zoning Sec. 78-1404 (Tennis Courts) applies, does the site plan meet the side yard setbacks? <br /> 3. Does the site plan meet Sec. 78-1403 on lot coverage? <br /> 4. Does the site plan meet Sec. 78-1279 item#6 regarding lakeshore setback for the new home? <br /> I am particularly concern about storm water runoff. I believe that the regulations provide that no project <br /> will be perxnitted that that results in water runoff that deposits that runoff on adjacent properties. The <br /> 1984 storm water runoff plan that was part of the existing building plan for 3127 Casco was inadequate <br /> and I have experienced water runoff problems from that property on to mine for many years. A tennis <br /> court on the street yard could exasperate that problem unless the new site plan has a well engineered <br /> drainage plan. It would seem impossible to know the impact of storm water run off and the adequacy of <br /> the drainage plan unless these plans have been submitted and approved by Orono. <br /> 3/14/2008 <br />
