None of the facilities draws a iarge number of users at any time one, and <br />none of the facilities requires any municipal urban services.” <br />• • • <br />A significant amount of the recreation open space in Orono is that controlled by <br />private golf and country clubs. Large acreages are owned by Wayzata Country <br />Club, Woodhill Country Club, and Lakeview Golf Course. While technically <br />private, these areas provide open space benefits to all nearby residents plus <br />active recreational facilities for many Orooo and Lake area citizens. <br />CMP 4-30, 31. The CMP docs not classify Woodhill Country Club’s use of the property for <br />country club purposes as either commercial or urban. Neighbors’ references to Woodhill as <br />commercial or business are simply inaccurate and inconsistent with the CMP. <br />2. Woodhill Avenue will remain a dead-end local street <br />As to transportation, the CMP provides that “the basic responsibility of the City is the protection <br />of its citizen’s health, safety, and welfare.” In terms of transponation systems, this means that a <br />street system must be provided for “safe access to ^ developed properties wiili sufficient <br />capacity to accommodate the expected number of trips generated by the planned land use.’’ CMP <br />7-2. The CMP provides the following transportation goals: <br />1. To provide adequate, safe transportation network sufficient to serve the needs of aU <br />Orono residents. <br />2. To provide a coordinated transportation system provided alternative modes and <br />travel choices for most Orono neighborhoods. <br />3. To provide a coordinated plan for Lake area transportation which will satisfy both <br />economic and environmental concerns to achieve the above goals within the <br />financial capabilities of the City and its citizens. <br />D qc V II19804M
