Dear Jim;
The City of Orono has received an application for a building permit for the removal and replacement
of a residence at 145 South Brown Road. The construction of a new driveway will be required to
serve the new residence, which will be located at the rear of the lot. The existing residence is located
at the front of the lot. Construction of this driveway will require the crossing of a wetland. This
wetland is not an "Orono City Protected Wetland" so a variance to our City zoning code is not
required. The house can be built without any variances, so a staff approval can be issued for the
building permit. We will not issue a building permit until all other agency approvals have been
secured.
The driveway will be crossing a WACA protected wetland which will require approval by the
MCWD acting as the LGU for the City. Because this wetland is not protected by our zoning code,
we will rely on the MCWD acting in it's role as LGU far the City to make a determination on this
driveway wetland crossing.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please contact me at 249-4621 should you have any
questions.
Sincerely
Gregory A. Gappa
Director of public Services
