� O� <br /> O 4 <br /> ' � - CITY of URONO <br /> � , �, <br /> �� h�./` / G'�' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> L`�kEsKo�`'� rvo. 5 �� � �� <br /> 4. The Property is located within the MUSA and is intended to be developed using <br /> municipal sewer. Municipal sewer is available from the City of Orono, and <br /> municipal water is available from the adjacent City of Long Lake. <br /> 5. Because the property is guided in the CMP for single family residential use at a <br /> density of up to 3 units per acre, use, the portions of the property intended for <br /> such use should be rezoned consistent with the intended and guided use. The most <br /> appropriate zoning for the intended use is RPUD, Residential Planned Unit <br /> Development District. However, the church use on the site is intended to <br /> continue under the existing conditional use permits for said use, and church use is <br /> not a permitted or conditional use in the RPUD District. Therefore, it would be <br /> most appropriate that the church parcel remain zoned RR-1B to allow continued <br /> use under the current CUPs, <br /> 6. This proposed SFR development for 8 new homes has an average dry buildable <br /> lot area of slightly under 16,000 s.f., with no new building lots less than 14,000 <br /> s.f. as recommended by the Planning Commission. This is consistent with the <br /> general range of lot sizes in the surrounding neighborhood. <br /> 7. The property is within "Parcel Group 3" as identified in the CMP and is guided <br /> for residential density greater than 1 unit per 2 acres. The property is one of the <br /> areas reviewed as part of Orono's Rural Oasis visioning study. Although City <br /> Ordinances do not yet require that applicant address elements of Conservation <br /> Design, because this is a RPUD planned development the applicant has been <br /> required to address the visual impacts and the elements of Conservation Desi�n. <br /> A key element in this development proposal is the retention and enhancement of <br /> natural views lookin�northeastward towards the site from Willow Drive. <br /> 8. Rezoning the portion of the property planned for single family residential use to <br /> RPUD Residential Planned Unit Development is appropriate based on the <br /> proposed density and nature of the proposal, which meets the following general <br /> purposes of the RPUD District: <br /> - �incorporates flexibility in land development and redevelopment in order to <br /> utilize new techniques of building design, construction and land <br /> development; <br /> - incorporates energy conservation through the use of clusterina of <br /> buildings and land; � <br /> PaQe 3 of 14 <br />
