He indicated that the CMP <br />states that the area between Kelley Parkway and Highway 12 should be zoned commercial <br />office. He stated that Council could agree to allow multifamily housing in the zone, <br />without approving the development, then give the applicant direction. <br />Sansevere stated they should reduce the rowhouses. <br />Nygard stated he was fine with the residential plan, but did not approve of the grocery <br />store. He also stated he wanted to see only 6 units /acre on the whole. Johnston stated that <br />Willow View did not come out with 2 acre lot sizes, it had 1 unit/2 acres that allowed <br />them more communal green space, with lots smaller than 2 acres. Nygard restated that he <br />wanted to see the overall density between 3 – 6 units /acre. <br />White stated they had put a lot of effort into the CMP, and he didn't want a grocery store <br />or any other retail that the community doesn't need. <br />• <br />Mayor Peterson stated that she also didn't want the grocery store or any change to the <br />CMP south of Kelley Parkway. is <br />Murphy stated that the plan was excellent, but not for Orono. He wanted them to scale <br />back. He also stated he was ambivalent about the grocery store, but would prefer it go <br />into Long Lake. <br />Terry Dahlstrom stated that a density of 3 -6 units above Kelley Parkway was too low for <br />the cost of Orono land and the cost of development. <br />Murphy moved, and Sansevere seconded, to support the CMP Amendment request <br />for conversion from "commercial office" to "multifamily residential," and rezoning <br />from RR -1B to RPUD for the area between Highway 12 and Kelley Parkway. <br />Vote: Ayes: 2, Nays: 3 (Murphy, Peterson, White). <br />Ms. Lindahl asked for Council to move to deny the request for legal reasons that would <br />affect their purchase agreement. Gaffron stated that the motion to support the amendment <br />had failed. For a positive action, Council should vote on a new motion to deny the <br />request. Sansevere asked the attorney if a new vote was necessary. He said it was not. <br />White moved, and Mayor Peterson seconded, to deny the CMP Amendment request <br />for conversion from "commercial office" to "multifamily residential," and rezoning <br />from RR -111 to RPUD for the area between Highway 12 and Kelley Parkway. <br />10 <br />
