The only public jail proposed in this revised plan is alorig Willow Drive north of Kelley. Staffis greatly concerned that if the trails are not initially constructed within or adjacent to the commercial outlets, it will be difficult to obtain them later... 7. Development of Kelley Parkway: Does the applicant ’s proposal provide the “parkway” character intended by the City? Since Orono has not striv'^tly defined the characteristics (landscaping, lighting, pedestrian walkways, bikeways, etc.) for Kelley Parkway, some attention should be given to this topic as part of the concept plan review... 8. . Landscaping, Etc. The final development plan will have to demonstrate conformance with the RPUD landscaping, screening and buffering standards, as well as lighting, signage, architectural compatibility, etc. Proposed street lighting, entry monument signage, etc. will have to be depicted and approved as part of the final development plan review process. Staff Recommendation Planning Commission should first concentrate on whether this concept plan generally achieves the purposes of the RPUD District. Next, consider whether the mix and spatial relationships of the various unit types within the development and in relation to each other as well as the surrounding uses, is appropriate. Also discuss whether the lack of a defined proposal for the use of the outlets will cause potential issues in terms of whether the outlets can be used for their intended purpose. The issues regarding location of Kelley Parkway in the MnDOT pond r.o.w. seems to staff to be a critical factor in determining whether the entire concept plan can move forward Finally, review the many detail issues as outlined above, and make a determination as to what level of detail you believe should be shown on the Concept Plan that is ultimately approved, in the context that Concept Plan Approval is a commitment on the City’s part very similar to that of a preliminary plat approval, under the PUD ordinance requirements. #02>2789(Rcvised) Dahlstrom Developmcni I.LC Jul) 12,2002 Page 13 of 13
