CITY OF ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - PUBLIC HEARING HIGHWAY 12 CORRIDOR STUDY/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT Chairman Kelley moved to Parcel 2, explaining Miller, Van Dale and Washington Scientific are the principal property owners of this property. Mike Unger of Washington Scientific was pre^ent. He asked if in alternative i2, the frontage road could be moved closer to the tracks. Mr. Shardlow noted that there is nothing specific about the current proposed alignment, except that it aligns perpendicular with Daniels Street in Long Lake and it should come out to a point on Old Crystal Bay Road. It could be realigned very easily. Mr. Unger stated that Washington Scientific has no preference to date with either Alternative 1 or 2 and would like to discuss both alternatives with the City further and discussing how both the company and City can benefit each other in this project. Mr. Smeby, Mayor of Long Lake stated that we must keep in mind that the rezoning for this corridor is the main issue, with safety a primary concern. The exact location of the roads will be located when the development starts in that. area. City Administrator Bernhardson noted that the comprehensive plan amendment must be submitted to all affected jurisdictions for their review. Jeff Ruse, Engineer for the City of Long Lake, stated his concern about increased traffic volumes on Daniels Street, east of willow Drive. Chairman Kelley moved onto Area 3. Marshal Lebonon, Architect, asked if there is a potential for vaditional sewer for the site. Chairman Kelley restated again that initially there are 116 units available with the possiblity of a total of 600 units. He noted he would like to see the development stay within the 600 units. City Administrator Bernhardson noted that to install additional sewer line to that property going to the long Lake pump station would bring the number of available sewer units to over 1200. This was mentioned as a proposed alternative, but the City chose not to salect it as an alternative because Council directed planners to stay relatively within major existing pipe capacity. Curtis Quady of Crystal Bay stated his opinion that he would like to see the zoning in the area to stay the same as it is currently. He asked if we know how long Highway 12 will he in the exact area that it is now.
