Bm .ll '2- i I : I LAND USE JUNE, 1980 i i URBAN COMMERCIAL LAND USE Urban comiaercial development is limited to two areas which are provided with all the necessary urban services and facilities. The major commercial center of Orono will continue to be the crossroads center of Navarre. This area will provide sufficient opportunity for neighborhood retail and service businesses, plus adequate professional offices, to serve the needs of most Orono residents. Accessory functions such as offices and owner- occupied living units or limited multi-family developments will be considered appropriate in or near the Navarre commercial area. /n additional limited commercial area is designated on Highway 12 adjacent to similar land uses in the City of Long Lake. This area has utilities available from the City of Long Lake and will provide neighborhood services complimentary to those available in that City. .-3 LAKESHORE COMMERCIAL LAND USE Lake access and la)^ user service businesses are appropriate for a lakeside community arid require a lakeshore locat^n. Special performance standards are necessary to assure pr** section of /the lake environment and protection of neighboring properties. z' The primary purpose is tcAoermit tliose functions that are directly necessary to support norma\ lake-use activixies such as boat launching, boat service, boat repairs ^d fishing supplies. Lakeshore commercial areas are not intended for tj^ical retail activities, including boat sales, which could be accomplrished avay from the lake. Accessory functions such as parking, wintVr sto/age and caretaker facilities will be appropriate in the lakeshore \0m5rercial areas. One lakeshore commercial area is /iiVdicated on the Land Use Plan along Maxwell Bay where resorts and marinks have historically existed. sanitary sewer is available for boat s^itatiX^ purposes. Expansion of the existing facilities is limited howevey'by surrounding residential neighborhoods, luck or public transportation, and environmental constraints including a crowded bay. Therefore, on4.y the one c^tiguous area is considered appropriate for dedicatioi/ to this use. Additional lakeshore commercial facilities'^o exist along County Road 15 north of Tanager Lakejpridge. This area has\fewer transportation and snvironmcnta problems than Maxwell Bay, but is not designated in this Plan for commrcial use because municipal sewer: and other urban services sre not available. This area would be considered for future lakeshore commercial designation should sanitary sewer become available as projected in ^he CSPP Facilities Plan. CMP 4-26
