CMP Part 3B. Laad Use Plan Additional Development Factors,Parcel Group 2 This parcel group has a number of factois which make it anattractive for 2-acre rural re.sid�tial development as curre�ly zoned,including: - I.ocation between two highway corridors is not conducive to nual development. - Location across from Industrial Park is not conducive to rural developmen� - East portion abuts one of ffie busiest intersections in Orono. - Much of site is poody suited for deveiopment with septic systems due to soils and topo�aphy. Municipal sewer and water are relatively available as compared to most other areas of the City. Group 2 has direct access to arterial and collector road system, and is relatively near urban services as compared to most other areas of the City. Furthermore, the Group is separated from existing n�ral neighborhoods by the Orono Schools, by ex,isting wetlands, by the existing railroad and freeway corridor. Because of ti�ese separations, developme�t at higher densities wilt havc minimal impact on adjacent or nearby rural character neighborhoods. Development of this Gtoup will be required to adhere to the principles of Conservation Design.

Parcel Group 3 9 acres east of Willow Drfve between Glendale Drive and new Hwy 12 Background,Site Characteristics This acreage is the northerly portion of a group of properties reguided in the 2000-2020 CMP to a11ow for developmtnt of urban density single family homes. The southerly portion of the original group remains z,oned 2-acre rural residential develapment,to be rezoned to RPUD at a densiiy of 2-3 units per acre as development occurs. The northerly 9 acres is reguided via this Update to allow for muJ.ti-femily residential use. Municipal sewer is potentially available via connections to either the Fiackberry neighborhood system or the Fire Station e�rtension, both of which discharge to the Long Lakc sewer system. The area is traversed by a small creek, and is characterized by gently sloping uplands. The location between two azeas of denser development make this is an appropriate location for higher density residential uses. C�ty of Orono Community Management Plan 2Q0�2030 Page 3B-34
