MINUTES OF A COUNCIL MEETING HELD DECEMBER 4 , 1974 Page 15 <br /> and therefore that area had to be sewered from <br /> Long Lake. That area today is a 1/2 acre <br /> and therefore the zoning amendment only <br /> reflects the present status of that zone. <br /> It should be noted that Long Lake refuses to <br /> allow any additional hookups to the sewer line <br /> in the area and therefore this area is limited <br /> in size. <br /> Van Nest next discussed area "D-1" . This area AREA D-1 R-1B to <br /> will be rezoned from R-1B, 1-1/2 acre to RR-1B RR-1B <br /> 2 acres. The only difference between area <br /> D-1 and Area "B" is that area D-1 is changing <br /> from 1-1/2 acres whereas area "B" changed from 1 <br /> to 2 acres. <br /> It was noted that Highway 12 would be upgraded HIGHWAY 12 <br /> in the future to bisect the area noted as D-1 <br /> the council could not allow 1 acre developments <br /> in the path of a major highway. The members <br /> prese�t felt that to allow 1-1/2 acre develop- <br /> ments in that area pursuant to the present <br /> zoning code would not promote the health, <br /> safety and general welfare of the people in <br /> that it has been shown that 1 acre and 1-1/2 <br /> acre on-site disposal systems are not adequate <br /> in Orono' s soil types to insure protection of <br /> the ground water. Rezoning to 2 acre lots is <br /> necessary to allow the continuation of on-site <br /> disAosal systems in that area. <br /> The members present then voiced the same concerns <br /> concerning the D-1 area as they did concerning <br /> the "B" area. Those comments stated for area "B" <br /> are hereby incorporated. <br /> It was noted that the proposed metropolitian <br /> interceptor may be located in part in the area <br /> designated as D-1. However, the Council noted <br /> � that the proposed interceptor was designed to <br /> solve the existing lakeshore problems and the <br /> � problems of the affluent from the Long Lake and <br /> Orono sewer plant to which is presently being <br /> ' discharged in the lake. <br /> � The Council noted that even if the sewer inter- <br /> , ceptor did go through the D-1 area, it would not <br /> be in the interests of the protection of the <br /> � health, safety and welfare of the people to allow <br /> � <br /> , <br /> �l <br />
