The City changed its Comprehensive Plan to reflect medium density residential for the property <br />located directly south of the proposed development. Medium density residential will likely be <br />townhomes. It is the intention to extend Kelley Parkway to Willow from Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />Properties located to the south of Kelley Parkway and north ot Highway 12 are guided for office <br />uses. <br />Rezoning <br />The proposed rezoning of the site would allow higher density development The property could not <br />sustain a rural style development with individual septic systems due to the high water table and soil <br />types present. <br />The surrounding properties to this site include the Shadowood Farm development (two acre density <br />east of Willow Drive), low density residential (two acre north of County Road 6), Orono School <br />Campus (Future Middle School Site to the west) and possible townhome/office use along Highway <br />12 and Kelley Parkway (south). It may be appropriate to utilize this property as a buffer zone <br />between the mixed uses surrounding the proposed development. <br />Rezoning the property to sustain a one acre development may be appropriate for this area because <br />sanitary sewer service is available. The property is located within the MUSA allowing for the <br />provision of sanitary sewer. The rural two acre zoning district requires more land area for private <br />sewage treatment systems. In addition it is more efficient and cost effective to extend sewer and <br />w ater service to an area of higher density. Simply put, more lots will decrease the flnancial burden <br />to each new lot for construction costs involved with infrastructure improvements. <br />Developing as a PRD would allow for the creation of conservation outlots along County Road 6 and <br />W’illow Drive allowing for the highest concentration of lots being located writhin the interior of the <br />property. <br />The Planning Commission should consider the following issues in discussing rezoning the <br />propeitv: <br />1. If the City is to consider rezoning of property for residential purposes is this the <br />appropriate location? <br />The property is located southwest of the County Road 6 and Willow Drive North <br />intersection. The property located north of C.R.6 and east of Willow Drive is zoned and <br />developed as two acre rural residential. <br />H2505 The Bancor Croup <br />2445 County Road 6 (County Road 6 and Willow Drive North) <br />Subdiviston/Rezoning <br />9/20/99 <br />pagt-S
