It should go back to current definitions. <br />2 <br />Aaron Printup <br />Map 3b 6 shows the color blue being defined as Institutional. That changed in <br />We did away with the institutional land use because a Met Council <br />2010 from "Educational" I believe. Educational is more appropriate. <br />requirement is that the zoning ordinance must match the comprehensive <br />plan, and we don't have an educational zone. Education is allowed in R -1A, <br />R -1B ,LR -1A, LR -1 B, and RR -1B zoning districts. <br />3 <br />Aaron Printup <br />Maps show parks as being defined as Parks, but some are parceled out. How <br />All maps are based on a base layer of parcels, from the County. <br />does that change so they are just simply parks? <br />4 <br />Westonka Schools <br />Add westonka school features similar to that's listed for Orono <br />School features updated in 4D public services. Orono school features (4E <br />-Kevin Borg <br />Parks) only list school features in Orono. <br />5 <br />Westonka Schools <br />Add Westonka Community Education <br />Westonka Community Ed included in chapter 4D. <br />-Kevin Borg <br />6 <br />City of Medina <br />Transportation: Orono's transportation plan discusses the importance of <br />Comment noted, no change <br />limiting non -local truck traffic from Orono roadways to protect city roadways <br />from unnecessary wear. Medina has a similar policy in place and fully supports <br />Orono's objective. <br />7 <br />City of Medina <br />Transportation: Willow Drive from County Road 24 to County Road 112 is <br />Road classifications will be changed <br />classified as an "other arterial" roadway within regional plans. Medina's <br />transportation plan proposes to reclassify this roadway to a minor collector. It <br />appears that a collector classification would be more appropriate now that <br />Willow Drive does not access Highway 12. Classification as a collector would <br />also seem consistent with Orono's classification south of County Road 112. <br />8 <br />City of Medina <br />Transportation: Medina identifies Hunter Drive from County Road 24 to County <br />Road classifications will be changed <br />Road 6 as a minor collector and Orono's draft Plan update identifies it as a <br />local roadway. We request that Orono consider a minor collector classification. <br />9 <br />City of Medina <br />Water supply: Medina notes the potential need for additional water storage in <br />Comment noted, no change <br />the Highway 12 water system during the timeframe covered by this Plan <br />update. Medina recommends that Orono ensure adequate water connection <br />fees to fund such improvements. <br />10 <br />City of Medina <br />Water Supply: Orono's projected average day water usage and peaking factor <br />Comment noted, no change <br />suggest a high level of lawn irrigation. Lawn irrigation conservation efforts can <br />substantially decrease the need for capital investments in capacity expansions. <br />Z:\COMPREHENSIVE PLANS\Coml�aglad 2 50-2040\Comp Plan Comments\Appendix Comp plan comments and responses <br />
