#0�3-2974 Stonebay Outlot A CMP Amendment Text � April 15,2004 Page 5 • The third of the four parcels is Outlot D of Stonebav, a 3.5 acre parcel likewise gl.iided for office use and �lticipatecl to be c�eveloped for office use ciurin the periocl 2004-2006. ' These three abutting parcels are locatecl across Hi l�iwav 12 from the Oroiio Industrial Park � wUich in the past has beeu used for processin� and manufacturin�. The industrial park has potential for redevelopment and is �uided to encoura�e coiiversion to li�lit indust�ial hi h tech uses, as well as o�ce-sliowroom. The City does not intend to allow conunercial retail or service uses within the industrial park. The fourth parcel, Outlot A, Stonebav, 3.5 acres in area, is located at the northwest quadrant of the si�nalized Highwav 12 / Willow Drive intersection. Outlot A is remotelv located froni the ' first three parcels, separated fiom tliem bv a regional stormwater pond. The opposite tllree � � quadrants of the 12/Willow intersecti'on are developed with retail uses; the NE quadrant is a . garden center with adjoining retail shops; the SE quadrant is an off-sale liquor store and coffee drive-thru; and the SW quadrant is a conveiuence store/service station. . Outlot A and the three other parcels betweeii Kellev Parkwav and Hi�v 12 are currently guided for office use with ininor retail accessorv to the office use. The purpose of this uiding was to avoid creatin� a substaiitial retail center with its attendant traffic and visual iulpacts, and to avoid the expansion of retail substantiallv westwaxd froin its current terminus at the intersection of 12/Willow. This goal has been to a �eat extent inet bY the office developnients completed,underwav and anticipated west bf the re�ional stor�n water pond. � The Stonebay residential developnieiit uiunediatelv north of Kellev Parkway will eveiitually inchide approximatelv 160 residential iuuts. That development was a�proved with the concept of walkabilitv in nvnd, includin�ple sidewalk and trail comiections to the corrunercial areas to the southeast as well as to tlze Citv facilities a.iid Orono Schools campus to the west. The Stonebay residential develonment will result in a rnixed use nei�hborhood, with residential, office and institutional uses. This inixed use nei�liborhood would benefit fro�n nearbX iiei�hborhood-scale retail uses that would serve the iiei�liborhood. The retail uses that would most beiiefit the inix of resideiitial and noil-residential uses in the neighborhood, would be a nei�hborhood-scale pharmacy/conveiueiice store atid nei�hborhood- scale food-oriented uses. . This ainendnient to the 2000-2020 Conuiiunitv Mana�ement Plan re-guides Outlot A of Stonebay to additionallv allow for iiei�hborliood-scale retail uses, as ail alternative to the o�ce use for wluch it is currentiv �uided. The definition of "neighborliood-scale retail uses" for Outlot A includes the followin�parameters which must be adhered to for anv refiail use developed and nlaintaiiied on the propert� �
