The property is served by municipal sewer and water. <br /> 5. The property abuts U.S. Highway 12 as well as Outlot D, Sugar Woods, a <br /> segment of a proposed future frontage road corridor platted within Sugar Woods. <br /> 6. In 1987 the City adopted Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2 which planned <br /> for the future development of a frontage road between Brown Road and Willow <br /> Drive, paralleling Highway 12. In 1987 it was anticipated that traffic on <br /> � Highway 12 would continue to increase as a result of the upcoming completion <br /> of Interstate Highway 394. The purpose of this planned frontage road was <br /> to reduce and/or eliminate access directly to and from Highway 12, generally for <br /> safety and traffic flow reasons. Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2 <br /> specifically addressed road improvements needed prior to development of the <br /> commercial corridor as follows: <br /> • "Prior to the development of the commercial portion of this property, the <br /> existing intersection at Brown Road and Highway 12 shall be improved <br /> so that safety concerns associated with the current use and future <br /> • increased use of this intersection are addressed. Configuration of the <br /> frontage road and North Brown Road would be determined at the time <br /> • of development." <br /> Orono's 1994-95 reconstruction of Brown Road alleviated alignment concerns <br /> with the 12Brown intersection, and Mn/DOT's 199�-96 safety improvements on <br /> Highway 12 similarly alleviated a number of safety concerns. <br /> 7. The plat of Sugar Woods, completed in July 1989, included two commercially <br /> zoned parcels (Outlots�E and F) abutting Highway 12. These two parcels were <br /> platted as outlots, rather than as buildable lots, because the Applicant at that time <br /> wished to delay decisions regarding future access to the commercial property <br /> until such time that it was developed. <br /> 8. The Sugar Woods plat conformed to the comprehensive plan by creating Outlot <br /> D, a short segment of the proposed future easdwest frontage road. Outlot D, <br /> however, only provides a corridor from the west boundary of Sugar Woods to <br /> � Page 2 of 10 <br />
