� <br /> + <br /> Review of Chapters 3A and 4F <br /> March 20,2009 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Part 4F: Public Services. The following changes from the 2000-2020 CMP are noted for your <br /> review and potential discussion: <br /> - On Page 4F-7 text is added to document the construction of two new fire stations in <br /> Orono since the 2000 CMP. The section on Fire Service Plans (Page 4F-9) is also <br /> amended to reflect this. <br /> - The section on Public Education starting on Page 4F-13 undergoes minor update <br /> revisions, and notes that the City will be studying how access to the Orono Schools <br /> Campus and the Orono City Complex can be made more efficient. <br /> - On Page 4F-23 more information about the role of the MCWD is added to more <br /> accurately identify their mission. <br /> - There will be updates of the information about the various privately operated utilities as it <br /> becomes available (for instance, maps depicting the respective service areas for the <br /> various telephone & electrical service providers need to be created, as well as a map <br /> showing current status of cable TV coverage areas). <br /> - The sections on City-owned land and buildings (starting on Page 4F-31) have been <br /> updated to reflect current conditions. On 4F-38 text is added regarding the City's future <br /> land and building plans. <br /> - Perhaps the section that will require your greatest attention is City Administration <br /> beginning on Page 4F-39. Note that the sec�ion regarding Council terms of office has <br /> been changed to reflect that the mayoral term is two years, not four (this changed quite <br /> some time ago but was not caught in the last CMP update). More importantly, there are <br /> some changes to the text regarding Citizen Commissions and City Staff - discussion <br /> should occur regarding how best to address 1) the status of the Park Commission, and 2) <br /> references to Public Services Director (as staff to Park Comm. as well as being head of <br /> Public Works and Building/Planning/Zoning Departments). Finally, Council should <br /> discuss how/whether to address the topic of consolidation (Page 4F-48) with Long Lake <br /> or other adjacent cities. <br /> Next Steps. Currently I am working on finishing updates to the Water Supply Plan and feeding <br /> Bonestroo directions for updating all the maps in the CMP (there are 48 maps total). Following <br /> is a short list of items that may require additional discussion regarding specific CMP topics <br /> before we go to Public Hearing / Public information Meeting and distribute this to adjacent <br /> jurisdictions to begin the 6-month review process: <br /> 1. In the Land Use Plan the properties at the SW quadrant of Old 12/Old Crystal Bay Road <br /> are not shown as being changed to Mixed Use (commercial/residential) at this point. I <br /> have not heard another word from the Jerry's Foods and Welsh Properties people, but this <br /> type of revision would be a significant revision to the Plan and rises to the level of <br /> needing a separate application and public hearing process. <br />
