The applicants have been granted four <br />extensions to the effective period of preliminary plat approval, with the current extension in effect until <br />January 14, 2013. <br /> <br />The applicants are proposing to subdivide the existing 7.6 acre parcel into two residential lots. Lot 1, <br />consisting of 2.37 acres, will be a new vacant lot accessing off of Graham Hill Road, and Lot 2, <br />consisting of 4.78 acres and the existing residence, will continue to access of of High Lane. <br /> <br />The applicants are also proposing the creation of a private road outlot 50 feet in width and averaging 370 <br />feet in length for the continuation of the right-of-way of High Lane. No upgrade of this private road is <br />required since no additional residential lots will be served by High Lane. The preliminary plat approval <br />requires that the standard drainage and utilities easement be granted over the road outlot as well as the <br />standard covenants. A conservation easement will also be given for protection of steep slopes, woodland <br />and open spaces on the property. The majority of the remainder of the lot consists of open field. There <br />are no wetlands on the property. <br /> <br />Proposed site grading plans and MCWD storm water management approvals will be required at the time a <br />residence is proposed to be constructed on Lot 1. The subdivision is subject to the standard park <br />dedication fee and stormwater and drainage trunk fees. The applicants have expressed concern regarding <br />the amount of the stormwater and drainage fee. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the resolution. <br /> <br />Printup asked what Orono's past practice has been regarding the fees. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - *05/29/2012 <br />Approval of Council Meeting Minutes 05/14/2012 <br />[Page 11 of 16]
