Jeremy Barnhart. Orono November 13. 2018 Page 5 of 9 recommend using the complete names of the guided land use categories in Table 313-5. and breaking down the Area summaries by guided land use. Table 3B-4 needs to provide some additional clarity. It is unclear what numbers are captured in the 2020-2030 Growth and 2030-2040 Growth columns -- it appears that this is housing units. However, there are some rows where the total housing units in these growth columns does not equal the minimum density multiplied by the net acres (the Eisinger row for example) Please clarify these columns. Council staff suggest identifying available acreages in this table by decade rather than total units by decade. particularly for properties whose development may fall in both decades. Alternatively the table could provide both. c Table 38-4 shows decades 2020-2030 and 2030-2040. Council staff recommend that the columns be adjusted to 2021-2030 and 2031-2040 so as not to double count years. * Map 38-4 needs to identify the location of Area F that is described in Table 3-413. c The Urban Medium High/Mixed Use Residential description on page 16 of Part 3B needs to include an estimated percentage of the breakdown of residential and non-residential land uses. The narrative indicates that existing residential development cannot convert to commercial development. but that existing commercial development could convert to residential. It is unclear whether the properties identified in Table 313-4 are intended to entirely develop as residential. or whether some mix of commercial and residential will occur on the variety of properties identified. and if so. what that mix is. To be complete. the allowed uses and allowed densities by use are required to be listed in the table. o There is a green hatching on the map that is not defined in the legend (it is likely a wetland overlay). The map legend must include a definition for the hatched areats). o For clarity Council staff recommend adding parcel boundaries to the maps in the land use and sewer chapters o The Development Areas shown on Map 3B-4 in the Appendix (page 174 in the PDF). are described as locations that could accommodate the City's forecasted growth by 2040. Nearly half the area identified is established lake -side sewered estates. Council staff recommend that the City confirm that The Plan identifies that half of the City's forecasted growth will occur on existing developed land that is unswered. If this is not accurate. the Plan must demonstrate that the forecasted growth will occur in the areas of Orono that are served by sewer o Table 313-3: Orono Planned Land Use Summary is missing the total acres for each land use and percent of total acres of reach land use for each decade. Housing (Hilary Lovelace. 651-602-1555) The Plan is incomplete for review Inconsistent items and advisory comments are also described below. Existing Housing Needs The number of housing units affordable to households with incomes at or below 30% of AMI. between 31 and 50% of AMI, and between 51 and 80% AMI must be provided. The number of housing units affordable to each income band are available in the Existing Dousing Assessment in the Local Planning Handbook (link: httos //mefrocouncil. org/Har7dbook/Fites/Existing-Housitip- Assessment/02396081 Orono Existin Hs .as x)
