. �' . #04-2974 Stonebay Outlot A � � � � � , " CMP Amendment Tezt ApriI I5,2004 . • Page 4 . guided the portion of this area directly adjacent to the nortli side of.Hijhway 12 for coirunerciai development. At that time,the Citywas not clear about the type of corrunercial developznent that should be planned for this area.Throu�j oint discussions with the City of Long Lake re'arding development along Highway 12,tlie City has deterniined that the optv.num development in tlus area would be office development.Off ce development can provide services for Orono residents,can provide faciliries for businesses owned by Orono residents,andcanprovidequalityemploymentoppo�tLUUties. Thedevelopmentoftlusarea for office use versus retail t�se e�zables the Hijhway 12 retail area to remain a more compact pedestrian-frieizdlyretail area versus a non-coliesive extended strip ofretail development. Access to all office uses will be via a service road connectinj Willow Drive and Old ' Crystal Bay Road,with no direct access points onto Highway 12. Development ofthis service road began in 1991 with tlze extension of Kelley Parkway eastward from Old Crystal Bay Road. The City's intent is to have a sin;le tier of office uses between Kelley Parkway and Highway 12,withprimarilyresideiztial lues north of the service road. Due to construction • of a stormwater retention pond byMnDOT midwaybetween Old Crystal BayRoad and Willow,and the City's intent to develop tlze area north af the service road residentially at a density of 2-6 units per acre,the opgortunities for lazje office sites are limited. As many as six 2-2.5 acre office sites canbe developed aloug tlie Highway 12 frontage while still allowin;the intended resideiitial development to occur. This area is guided for office use witli minor retail and service uses allowed only as accessory uses to the office use. "Big box"retail usesvill not be allowed within tlus area." Part 2.Tlie above section of the CMP,along with Map 3 B-7,will be ainended to reflect the intended conversion of Outlot A,Stonebay from primarily office use to primarilyretail use.The following ainendment text was adopted by Council at its April 12 meeting: "The portion ofParcel Group 1 betweenKellevParkwav andHighway 12 as depicted inMap 3B-7 is subdivided into four tax parcels for cornuzercial development.Each of the four p arcels abuts Hiahwa�2 . on the south and Kelley P arkwav on the north. The most westerlyparcel,at the intersection of Hi�hway 12 and Old Crvstal BayRoad,is 2 acres in area and has been developed for dental office use. The 2.5 acre parcel directiv east of the dental site is currentiv beinQ developed for medical office use. •
