Focuses on maintaining a vital downtown and "sense of place" for both Long Lake <br /> and Orono. <br /> 3. A compact retail area encourages pedestrian activity. <br /> 4. It is easier to plan,coordinate and control the development of a more compact retail <br /> area than an extended retail strip. <br /> _ 5.� .Focusing development toward Brown Road could strengthen the ability to obtain <br /> . :� desirable development on the north side of Highway 12 east of Otten Brothers <br /> � ' Nursery. <br /> 6. Enables better control over the amount of retail development that occurs in this area. <br /> • � 7. Provides the opportunity to generate stable jobs in office,high tech, medical, etc. <br /> 8. A more compact community scale retail area matches the design of new Highway 12 <br /> with no interchanges through Long Lake. <br /> 9. Limits the number of north/south roadways that would be affected by retail <br /> development(increase traffic and activity levels). <br /> 10. Maintains a lower activity level in the area west of Willow Drive. <br /> 11. Would create less pressure for providing an access from new Highway 12 to the retail <br /> area. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Orono City Council, that a <br /> general concept plan for land use along Highway 12,calling for community scale retail development <br /> focused in a compact area in and near downtown Long Lake(closer to Brown Road tlian to Willow <br /> Drive, at least in the short-term) most closely reflects the Council's vision for development along <br /> Highway 12. <br /> � Page 2 of 3 <br />
