The only buffer ^tween the applicants’ office site and the residential use in Sugarwoods is a 40’ wide platted outlet that is owned by the Sugarwoods Homeowners Association. Restrictions were placed on each lot within the Sugarwoods neighborhood that prohibits removal of trees greater than 2” in diameter within the rear setback for those lots located closest to the proposed development. The 40’ buffer outlot is generally wooded. The subject property is located on Highway 12 directly west of the Orono Ambar Senior Housing development. Two parcels that are located west of the subject property are developed as the Orono Shopping Center and Conoco gas station; the lot directly adjacent to the west and surrounded on two sides by ^plicant’s property contains nonconforming residential and industrial uses, including a welding shop. Tnat property is zoned B-1 Retail Sales Business District. Future redevelopment of the adjacent welding shop parcel is anticipated; both the residence and the welding shop are nonconforming uses in B-1. U.S. Highway 12 is in the process of being relocated to the south and the existing Highway 12 will be turned over to Hennepin County. Brown Road south of 12 will be realigned to create a cross intersection with existing 12 directly across from Brown Road North and a signal light will be installed at that intersection. Consistency with Orono 2000-2020 CMP Uses within the PUD may include only those uses designated by the official Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
