[Amended 6-10-2026]
The purpose of these provisions is to provide for the division of certain lands and planned residential development which allows alternatives and choice of design but which preserves and maintains open space. Within the limits of this section, all residential lot layout, dimensional and area requirements contained in this chapter or Chapter 46, Subdivision of Land, may be altered without restriction, except height requirements. Such alteration shall not be construed as granting a variance for hardship.
A. 
Definitions. For the purposes of this section:
AGRICULTURAL LAND
Land in excess of one acre which has been tilled, harvested, mown (except lawns and similar which are customarily incidental to residential use) and/or used for the production of field crops, including commercial orchards, pastures, and pick-your-own fruit crops, which use has been within five years of the date of application for subdivision review and/or development under these provisions. Included is land separating tilled areas, which separation is for proper agricultural practice and/or access.
MULTIFAMILY
One building containing more than one dwelling unit within its four walls.
OPEN SPACE
On undeveloped parcels, woodland, fields or agricultural land. On developed parcels, land that is woodland, fields or agricultural land in excess of the minimum lot size for a single-family dwelling or conditional use in the zone. "Developed parcels" are those which contain residence or commercial and/or farm structures.
PARCEL
A "parcel" is all the contiguous land in the same ownership before the first division of such land into lots of any size.
SINGLE ATTACHED
One building containing one dwelling unit attached by a common wall to an additional building(s) containing one dwelling unit.
SINGLE DETACHED
One building containing one dwelling unit.
B. 
Jurisdiction. This section applies to Zones R-2, R-3 and R-4 and to a minimum parcel herein or greater, and the provisions are:
(1) 
Optional for a subdivision or residential development of parcels less than 10 acres, which parcels do not contain agricultural land.
(2) 
Mandatory for a subdivision or residential development or parcels of 10 acres or more or any parcels which contain agricultural land.
C. 
Applicability.
(1) 
Minimum size of parcel to which these provisions can apply:
(a) 
In Zones R-2 and R-4, four acres.
(b) 
In Zone R-3, six acres.
(2) 
Frontage on public or private way: 500 feet, plus 50 feet for each dwelling unit over five:
(a) 
Width: 500 feet.
(b) 
Depth: 300 feet.
(c) 
Shore frontage: 500 feet.
D. 
Minimum setbacks for structures from parcel perimeter of lines:
(1) 
If a front lot line: 100 feet.
(2) 
If a side lot line: 100 feet.
(3) 
If a rear lot line: 50 feet.
(4) 
If shore frontage: 150 feet from the normal high-water mark.
E. 
Minimum distance between structures: The minimum distance between single attached group, multifamily and single detached, along with their accessory buildings, shall be 100 feet.
F. 
Other dimensional requirements:
(1) 
Setback from interior subdivision streets: 30 feet.
(2) 
Minimum lot size which can be conveyed in fee: 20,000 square feet.
G. 
Residential density. The number of dwelling units permitted on a parcel is determined by the application of the following formula:
(1) 
The total acreage of the parcel must be determined by survey. From the total acreage of the parcel, the acreage of any lot reserved or to be conveyed in fee of 40 acres or more is deducted. The resulting acreage is gross acreage.
(2) 
From this gross acreage, the following types of acreage are deducted. All must be shown on the plan and the area calculated by the licensed professional surveyor:
(a) 
Any land area which is defined as "resource protection" in Article VII of this chapter must be shown on the plan, with the exception of aquifers where residential dwelling units are allowed as stated in § 60-36G.
(b) 
Any land area which comprises buffer strips around resource protection areas must be shown on the plan.
(c) 
Any land area in which the water table is at or within six inches of the surface at any time must be shown on the plan.
(d) 
Any land area which comprises road right-of-way, driveways serving more than one dwelling unit, common parking areas, common areas of recreational development, common shoreland areas or any other developed common area must be shown on the plan.
(e) 
Calculation guidelines.
[1] 
The result gives acreage available for development.
[2] 
The number of dwelling units allowed is found by dividing the acreage available for development by the minimum lot area (acres) required per dwelling unit of the zone.
[3] 
Fractional amounts are rounded down.
[4] 
If in the Shoreland Zone, the number of dwelling units is further limited to one dwelling unit per 250 feet of shore frontage. Shore frontage which is defined as "resource protection" shall not be included in the calculation.
(3) 
Reservation of open space and siting.
(a) 
Fifty percent of the land area determined to be acreage available for development above must be preserved as open space. Dwelling units may be sited on the remaining 50% at such location consistent with these dimensional and layout provisions and the adequacy of soils to support wastewater disposal.
(b) 
If agricultural land comprises more than 50% of the acreage available for development, the Planning Board may further prescribe the siting of roads and structural development to preserve agricultural land. In prescribing siting, the Board shall be governed by the intent of these regulations to preserve as much agricultural land as reasonably possible while permitting residential development to occur, taking into consideration all the natural features of the parcel and the management of the resulting mixed use of the land.
H. 
Review as subdivision required. Application for, and review of, proposed divisions and/or residential development under this section shall be required by Chapter 46, Subdivision of Land. Division of land by devise; condemnation; order of court; gift to a person related to the donor by blood, marriage, or adoption (unless the intent of such gift is to avoid the objectives of state or local subdivision regulations) or transfers of any interest in land to the owner of land abutting thereon is exempt from the mandatory provisions of this section.
I. 
Uses permitted on parcels developed under these regulations: those uses permitted of residences, and those accessory to residences in the applicable zone, and agricultural uses as defined, where agricultural is permitted in the applicable zone.
J. 
Open space.

(2) 
It shall be restricted by covenant, or be deeded in common to owners in the development, and may be usable for low-intensity recreational and outdoor living purposes. Such uses shall not include rights-of-way, driveways, parking areas, golf courses, swimming pools, other recreational development, or structures, all of which shall be shown and designated separately on the plan. Clearing or removal of vegetation shall be as specifically regulated in the zone in which the open space lies or, if not regulated, on a selective basis only, according to a plan approved by a licensed state service forester or licensed professional forester in the State of Maine. No open space can also be a common shoreland area as defined in § 60-1B.
K. 
Agricultural land. Open space which is agricultural land, as defined, shall be shown on the plan with the appropriate notation that it shall not be used for future building lots; shall not contain any structural development, except as permitted; and shall be maintained in a manner so as to preserve its agricultural capability, which at the minimum shall be annual mowing. The land may be leased for agricultural purposes as defined. Agricultural land shall be owned in common by owners in the development or otherwise be controlled to preserve it.
