Northgate Two was platted as a Planned Residential Development <br /> in 1979. As a result, the standards far setbacks, lot sizes, etc., are established within the plat resolution. <br /> The original plat created seven single-family building pads,plus two recreation outlots, a road outlot,and <br /> a commons open-space outlot. The building pads were established with the intent that new homes could <br /> be constructed within the confines of each pad without any setback or lot coverage limitations. <br /> The applicants would like to swap approximately 120 square feet of their property for an identically-sized <br /> portion of the Northgate Two commons outlot in order to allow construction of an addition to the existing <br /> residence behind the garage. The addition also requires a variance for structural lot coverage. The <br /> applicants are further requesting the vacation of a portion of an existing open space easement granted to <br /> the City over Outlot C. <br /> The covenants for Northgate Two established an open space easement over the entirety of Outlot C in <br /> favor of the City of Orono. The easement prohibits construction of"signs, billboards, accessory <br /> buildings, hardcover or roads of any nature whatsoever, or any other structure or improvements <br /> inconsistent with the natural state of the Affected Lands." In order to avoid future issues for the property <br /> Owners,this lot line rearrangement process includes the vacation and rededication of the open space <br /> easement,vacating it from the portions of Outlot C being acquired by the applicants and adding to it the <br /> portion of Lot 1, Block 7. <br /> This lot line rearrangement does not result in new lots and therefore no park fees and no stormwater trunk <br /> fees will be due. Further,the homeowners association has been advised of the proposal and no objections <br /> have been expressed. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the lot line rearrangement, lot coverage variance and easement vacation <br /> subject to the applicants granting a new open space easement over the portion of Lot 1, Block 7,being <br /> transferred to the homeowners association under the identical provisions of the existing easement. <br /> Page 6 <br />
