ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, JUNE 10, 2002 4. #02 -2789 Dahlstrom Development LLC— Highway 12 at Willow Drive (NW Quadrant) —Comp Plan Amendment/PUD Rezoning /Concept Plan Review — Continued yard area. By clustering the rowhouses together, they gained more green space and community spaces. Kendra Lindahl, Project Planner, stated that they had presented a bundle application with the concept and site plan. She asked that the Council approve the changes to the CMP. Ms. Lindahl stated that their goal was to create a master plan community, instead of a piecemeal series of developments. She requested that the zoning change not go through until the final plan was approved and that the current approval be contingent on future approvals, so that if the project was unable to be completed, the zoning and land would revert back to the current status. The PUD would be tied to the uses in the proposed site plan. 0 Gaffron stated that the Planning Commission needed Council direction and if the CMP changes are accepted, could meet on June 24th. The application could come back to Council on July 8th for concept plan approval. The zoning would not be set until the end of the process. Gaffron stated that he disagreed with the density figures presented by the applicants, and is pointed Council to the May 17th memo included in the packet. Kelley Parkway was always planned as a through road and there could be different developments to the north and south of it, so he took the 2.8 acres for the road out of the density calculation. The 5 acre commercial area was also removed from the discussion of residential density. The overall residential density was therefore 235 units on 31.3 acres, or 7.5 units /acre. While the City needs the type of housing proposed, it was not included in the CMP as an acceptable use for the area south of Kelley Parkway. Ms. Lindahl stated it was a mistake to separate out the different types of housing since the whole is one development with one developer and one association. She stated taking out the acreage for Kelley Parkway was unfair because it doesn't currently exist and would be developed as part of the whole. Murphy stated he thought there would be three homeowners associations. Ms. Krahl stated that there would be three associations, one for each type of housing because they would each have different fees, but they would all operate under one umbrella association. Johnston stated that the street acreage was not taken out for the Willow View development. He argued that when the roads don't currently exist, the density is taken from the whole property and computes the overall density. 9
