Sept. 23 Work Session <br />Page 2 <br />people present (Sector Rep Tom Caswell and Watershed Coordinator Jack Frost) as well as Eric <br />Everson (MCWD Exec Dir.) as to where we are at with the Comp Plan. <br />Mary Hill Smith indicated that considering the grilling that Met Council gave Minnetrista about <br />providing more density, and given that Orono is one ring closer to downtown than Minnetrista, we <br />should expect that Met council will be looking for significant higher density areas in Orono. We <br />didn't get into how many units or at wh?' densities might be an "acceptable" amount. <br />Goals for September 23 Work Session <br />1. Review the revised DRAFT table of contents, advise if anything here seems out of whack. <br />o <br />3. <br />Review DRAFT Parts 1 and 11 and the list of proposed figures, etc. and advise whether there <br />are significant concepts missing that should be added to these mostly introductory sections. <br />Discuss whether you wish to consider additional areas for higher density housing, especially <br />in light of the strong neighborhood support in favor of'staying the course' in the 2-acre zones <br />that was shown at the Bancor public hearing; and consider strategies for meeting Met <br />Council's density goals in light of such local opposition...such as redevelopment in already <br />higher density areas? or ? <br />Topics for future Comp Plan work sessions: <br />Thursday September 7:Stormwater Plan (Bonestroo will be presenting information <br />regarding a development fee structure to fund the capital <br />improvements aspect of the plan) <br />Comp Plan Future Topics for Discussion: <br />1) Transportation Policies and Goals (future road maintenance policies, assessment <br />policies; potential County turnbacks or exchanges; rural road standards; <br />private road standards, etc.) <br />2) Vision for Highway 12 Corridor (post-bypass) <br />3) Parks Plan ( adopt Park Commission's 1997-98 draft plan.or?) <br />4) Historic Prcser> ation (any support for doing this?) <br />1 will be continuing to generate sections of the plan for discussion in the coming weeks and will <br />shoot them off to you as quickly as possible.
