Searles called to order a joint conference MULTIPLE DWELLING CODE or discussion of the proposed A�zltiple Dwelling Ordinance. JOINT CONFERENCE . n attendance were Cowicilman Walter Massengale; Planning ORONO CITY HALL - 7:30 P.M. Commission Members Fred Curtis, Diane D�lap, C. Paul Pesek � and Brad Van Nest; Deputy Clerk, Alberta Strom; Zoning Admin- istrator, Henry Nfuhich; City Engineer, Rick Sather and public � citizens interested in the proceedings. ir . Mayor Searles called attention to receipt of suggested changes to the proposed Multiple Dwelling code from Paul Roberts of e Gagne Developers. Because there were insufficient copies to distribute Mr. Roberts brought out the essential points to � his proposal during the body of the meeting. Another proposal submitted by Brad Van Nest was received with a favorable reac- � tion. It was entitled °"Memorandum to the Village Council re- garding a proposed �Iultiple Dwelling Ordinance", dated Decem- r ber 16, 1975, and is hereto. attached as part of this record. � After all had reviewed the proposal, I��a.ssengale expressed his � view that there could be a potential problem of second turn- arol.md of a lone, si.ngle-family �it, if it should occur, � amongest multiple wiits. Roberts wondered. whether the pro- � posal would create a problem with the PRD portion of the Zoning Code. Van. Nest felt it would just add to the flexibility of � design potential for prospective developers. Van Nest ex- lained that his proposal would allow either private ownership � �r Homeowners Associations and it was noted that a large area could have more than one association. Searles felt that the code should state that the developer must include ownership . plans as part of his applicatian and felt that there was no public purpose to restrictions on type of ownership. Ma.ssen- gale liked the features of the Van Nest proposal that would + a11ow flexibility of design and the ability to estimate ,� utilities and co�nunity needs, although, he expressed doubts about Homeowners Associations that could break down because � of involvement with personalities. The City Engineer stated that when the City allows Homeowners Associations to come into w existence and maintain an area, the functions that could even- tually be taken over by the City should be specified in tile � code. Regarding ownership of dwellings of horizantal units as � opposed to vertical �its, it was agreed that this feature would, in part, detennine the type of ownership situations within a � district. Roberts requested that the City take into account the HUD "Subdivision Development Guidelines" because money would not � be available to a developer unless these policies are followed. • i The Council members and those in attendance agreed tha.t the Van Nest proposal should be submitted to the City Attorney to be • drafted into Ordinance form, for Planning Commission and Council �view, and eventual presentation at a public heari�g and that �the following be i.n,clud.ed in the code: � �1) 'That the code direct the applicant to submit an owner- ,� ship prorposal along with his plans. ♦ � : ! JOINT-,CONFERENCE NIIWTES - DEC,F��BER 16, 1975 - PAGE 2 �,�.. . . (2) That Park Dedication Fee Provisions be included. (3) Building height allowance to be 2 1/2 stories for ��ingle-family or duplexes (using the same definitions as resi- "�ntial districts) and a three story allowance for triplexes • � and fourplexes. (4) That the Attorney draft up alternatives for areas of • less than ten acres for either: (a) Public streets built to • City specifications (due to urban nature of proposals) or (b) Allow private roadways although the City would have con- trol by right-of-way shown on the plat (This would allow scenic � design features when going thru wooded areas or provide balance � to land contour and planning situations. (5) State that roadways must be public if the area of develop- r ment is over ten acres. (6) In case of failure of a Homeowners Association, should � have a specific method for the City to place costs of encLun- � brances on the tax rolls for collection. (7) Setbacks should be ma.intained from tlae easements. � (8) If legally possible - if an area is less than five acres the ordinance contain a "compatability clause" to have ec{uality of homes. (9) Include that there should be a 26 foot setback on wet- 'r lands and that the draft of a I�lultiple Dwelling Code submitted � by the City Attorney, dated October 21, 1975, under Section 3x.170 `�Design and Construction Requirements" be changed to � read: (i) The district or any development therein may not be adjacent to a One-family Lakeshore Residential District or � �aithin 1,000 feet of a lake or within 26 foot of wetlands. � wetlands �ay be zoned as an M-6 zone. • (10) The 26 foot wetland setback would be a credit in the dry, buildable area provisions. If wetlands exist in an M-6 zone, '� no wetlands may be credited in the density of the area. � (11) Include parking area setbacks. � The Councilmembers requested that Minutes be drafted on the ADJOURI�NT conference and it was adjourned at 9:00 P.D4. � � • Ma.yor Ro ert . earles � � � ttest: Deputy��Clerk, R�er�a Strom ` � i • � • � • :� �� . _ ; Tt): Cotmcil and Flanning Cammissiai � FROM: Brad Van Nest • UATE: December 16, 1975 � RE: Miltiple llw�ellu�g Clydinance � � At the joint meeting of Uecember lOth, it seemed that w�e were groping for a formula that �uld a1Low some mix af single f�nily, duplex, triplex and fourplex :� wiits in the proposed M-b zane. It also seemed ta be desirable to find a way that dwelling i.mits in the M-6 zcme could he sold to a awner occupant, held by �1 one or more awners for rental t.mits, or clustered i.mder the PRD Ordinaryce. I � would like t.o propose the following informatian for discussion toni�k►t. � M-6 Za�ne '� 1. Minim�.nn lot size is fiv� (Sj acres of dry, buildable land less public right-of-way. • 2.

The mix of building types r�st be selected so that there is, on the average, � 1/2 acre of dry buildable land less public right-of-way for each building structure. Therefor to determi.ne the maximi.un nwnber of structures allaweii, ^♦ multiply the dry huildable acres less p�ublic right-of-way by two (2) structures . per �cre. ^ * 5.
