ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, JUNE 10, 2002 <br />• 4. #02 -2789 Dahlstrom Development LLC— Highway 12 at Willow Drive (NW <br />Quadrant) —Comp Plan Amendment/PUD Rezoning /Concept Plan <br />Review — Continued <br />Vote: Ayes: 3, Nays: 1 ( Nygard), Abstained: 1 (Sansevere). <br />Johnston asked if there was a middle ground where they could bring in an office <br />development to the area. Mayor Peterson stated that their development must conform <br />with the CMP. Moorse suggested they do what they can on both sides of Kelley Parkway <br />as long as it conforms. <br />Gaffron stated that they still had office guided for the northwest corner for Willow and <br />asked if Council would like to take a vote to change it to retail that is not strictly accessory <br />to the offices. <br />Moorse stated that the issue of allowing retail commercial use at the northwest corner of <br />the 12/Willow intersection needed discussion, and that Council should consider scale, <br />proportion, and impact. <br />Sansevere stated he would vote to follow the Comprehensive Plan guidelines now, but <br />upon seeing a new plan with changes to the residential development, would consider retail <br />• options. <br />Moorse stated that the question was of allowing non - accessory retail and the grocery <br />store. A traffic analysis was needed. He stated that with a retail corner there, Willow, <br />Highway 12, and County 6 would become major arteries. <br />Johnston stated that Willow would be used to reach the grocery store whether it was <br />located on that corner or further down the road in Long Lake. <br />Murphy stated they didn't have enough information to make a decision given the changes <br />required of the residential plan. <br />Sansevere stated they shouldn't wait for Long Lake to do what's needed for the <br />neighborhood. Murphy stated they need to support downtown Long Lake and wait for <br />them to decide if they want to put in a grocery or not. Mayor Peterson and White agreed. <br />Ms. Krahl stated that Long Lake has already determined they want the grocery store <br />located on Willow or in the industrial parkway between Brown and Willow because there <br />isn't room in their downtown area. <br />Regarding allowing a grocery store in the development: Sansevere supported it, <br />Murphy stated he was ambivalent, Mayor Peterson, Nygard, and White did not <br />• support it. <br />11 <br />
