• Council <br /> Exhibit A <br /> Orono City Council, <br /> We have a buyer on LOT 2 BLOCK 2 Oliver Hill whose architect has submitted a completed <br /> house plan to the City of Orono for a building permit. There is a challenge in building this house <br /> due to the maximum lot coverage calculation. <br /> We have found a disparity with LOT 2 BLOCK 1 directly across the street, which is still owned <br /> by the developer. We feel this information may offer a solution to our challenge of building on <br /> LOT 2 BLOCK 2. <br /> During the planning of the RPUD, it was decided that a 15 percerrt maximurn lot coverage was <br /> the best plan for this development. Our challenge with this is that there is a building envelope <br /> square footage of approximately 8276 for LOT 2 BLOCK 2 and approximately 3300 square feet <br /> on LOT 2 BLOCK 1. However, the maximum lot coverage for these finro lots does not follow the <br /> same proportion. <br /> The maximum lot coverage for LOT 2 BLOCK 2, with 8276 square foot building pad, is 2680 <br /> square feet.Yet, the maximum lot coverage for LOT 2 BLOCK 1 with a 3300 square foot building <br /> pad, is 4963 square feet. As you can see, the building pad for LOT 2 BLOCK 1 is smaller that <br /> the allowable structure. <br /> What we are requesting is an adjustment to rebalance lot coverage,with a reduction of total <br /> coverage on the RPUD. This will allow the lot buyer to build their proposed home on LOT 2 <br /> BLOCK 2, which they have already purchased and move into the community. <br /> The following describes three options for addressing this issue: <br /> (1) Reduce the lot coverage of LOT 2 BLOCK 1 to 3000 square feet and increase the lot <br /> coverage of LOT 2 BLOCK 2 to 4000 square feet, resulting in a total reduction of lot <br /> coverage on the RPUD of 643 square feet. <br /> (2) Swap the total lot coverage square feet of LOT 2 BLOCK 1 with the total lot coverage <br /> square feet of LOT 2 BLOCK 2, resulting in no increases or decreases to the total RPUD <br /> lot coverage. <br /> (3) Average the lot coverage square feet of both lots resulting in a total lot coverage of <br /> 3821.5 square feet for each lot and no increase or decrease in total RPUD lot coverage. <br /> We appreciate your consideration of this challenge and the listed solutions. <br /> Best Regards, <br /> The Broadway Group, LLC <br />
