#04-2974 Stonebay Outlot A ' � ' CMP Amendment Text Aprit 15,2004 Page 4 adjacent to the north side of Highway 12 for conunercial development. At that time, the City was not clear about the type of conunercial developinent tliat � . should be pla.iuied for this area. Tluough joint discussions with the City of Long Lake rega.rding developilient along IIighway 12, the City has determined that the Opt1111t1211 development in this area would be office development. Off'ice development can provide services for Orono resideiits, can provide facilities for businesses owned by Orono residents, a.nd can provide quality employizient opportunities. The development of this area for office use versus retail use enables the Highway 12 retail area to renzain a more compact pedestriau-friendly retail a.rea versus a iion-cohesive extended strip of retail developinent. Access to all office uses will be via a service road coiv.lecting Willow Drive and ' Old Crystal Bay Road, with no direct access poiuts onto Highway 12. Development of. this service road began in 1991 with the exteiision of Kelley Parkway eastward froin Old Crystal Bay Road. . The City's intent is to have a single tier of office uses between Kelley Parkway and Highway 12, with primarily resideiitial uses north of the service road. Due to constructioii of a stormwater retention pond by MnDOT inidway between Old Crystal Bay Road and Willow, and the City's intent to develop the area north of ' � the service road residentially at a deiisity of 2-6 units per acre, the opportunities for la.rge office sites are limited. As mairy as six 2-2.5 acre office sites can be developed along the Highway 12 frontage while still allowing the intended . . residential developmeilt to occlu. � This area is guided for office use with iiiinor retail and service uses allowed only as accessory uses to the office use. "Big boa" retail uses will not be allowed withiil this area." Part 2.
