CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan <br />9. <br />more compact community scale retail area matches ihe <br />:sign of new Highway 12 witli no interchanges thrq^h <br />tgLake. <br />Limits the impact on north/south roadways (i.e. i^reased <br />traffic tod activity levels) as compared to the mope intense <br />“big bo»’ retail uses. <br />10. Maintains \lower activity level in the area ><cst of Willow <br />Drive. <br />11. Would create le\s pressure for providing an access from new <br />Highway 12 to the retail area. <br />Accordingly, this area shoum be developed with a mix of commercial <br />uses including retail, servic(^tod office components. Access via a <br />service road paralleling High\W>T2 should still be required rather <br />than direct access to Highway 12. since existing traffic levels along <br />Highway 12 are expected to mmai\at a level which makes direct all ­ <br />way access difficult and daifgerous. <br />The Highway 12 re-royfe ("proposed Hitoway 12") when completed <br />in approximately 2p07 will have a significant impact on access for <br />this area, beeausycurrent Highway 12 traffic levels arc e.xpected to <br />increase between now and 2007, then should dlop dramatically when <br />the Bypass Q{Kns. However, traffic levels on "o^Highway 12" after <br />2007 are afpected to again creep upward, and the hong-term need for <br />a serv'i^road may again manifest itself For this r^on, it is in the <br />best unerests of the City and the business communit\to preserve at <br />lea^a partial service road corridor between Brown Roa^and Willow <br />fiw future use, that will provide all properties with acc^s options <br />^ther than direct access from Highway 12. The City sup^rts the <br />development of a "mid-point" connection to Highway 12 eUrectly <br />across from Brimhall Avenue, such access to be at least a ri^t-in, <br />right-out configuration. Further, if and when the ser\ ice road is <br />constructed, all other existing accesses directly to Highw-ay 12 should <br />ultimately he removed <br />2.Property abutting the north side of existing Highway 12 from <br />Willow Drive to Old Crystal Bay Road. This area (shown on Map <br />3B-7 as the ‘commercial’ portion of Parcel Group 1) currently is <br />vacant property, comprised of 3 tax parcels with some 2600 feet of <br />Highway 12 frontage. As part of the 1989 Comprehensive Plan <br />amendment, the City guided the portion of this area directly adjacent <br />City of Orono Community Management Plan <br />Scplcaber 2000 Page3B-39
