#04-2974 Stonebay Outlot A ' ' ' CMP Amendment Text April 15,2004 • Page 4 adjacent to the north side of Highway 12 for cormiiercial development. At �liat . tiiile, the City was not clear about the type of coirunercial development that � should be planned for this area. Through joint discussions with the City of Long Lake regarding development along Highway 12, the City has deterinined that the optimum development in tlus area would be office developnient. Office development can provide services for Orono residents, can provide facilities for businesses ovcnied by Orono residents, a.nd can provide quality employnieiit opporiunities. The development of this area for office use versus retail use enables the Highway 12 retail area to remain a more conlpact pedestrian-friendly retail area versus a non-coliesive extended strip of retail developiuent. Access to all office uses will be via a service road connecting Willow Drive and � Old Crystal Bay Road, with no direct access points onto Highway 12. Development of. tliis service road began in 1991 with the extension of Kelley Parkway eastward from Old Crystal Bay Road. The City's intent is to have a single tier of office uses between Kelley Parkway and Highway 12, with priinarily residential uses north of the service road. Due to construction of a stormwater retention pond by 1VI�iDOT 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 density of 2-6 units per acre, the opportunities for large office sites are limited. As many as six 2-2.5 acre office sites can be developed along the Highway 12 fiontage while still allowing the uitended residential development to occur. This area is guided for o�ce use with niinor retail and service uses allowed only as accessory uses to the office use. "Big box" retail uses will not be allowed within this axea." Part 2. The above section of the CMP, along with Map 3B-7, will be ameiided to reflect the intended conversion of Outlot A, Stonebay fronl primarily o�ce use to primarily retail use. The following amendsnent text was adopted by Council at its April 12 illeeting: "The portion of Parcel Group 1 between Kelley Parkway and Hi lg iway 12 as depicted in Ma� 3B-7 is subdivided iiito four tax parcels for coinmercial development. Each of tlie four parcels abuts Hi hwav 12 on the south and Kellev Parkway on the iiorth. The most westerl�,parcel, at the intersectioii of Hi hway 12 and Old Crvstal Bay Road, is 2 acres in area and has been developed for deiital office use. The 2.5 acre parcel directly east of fihe dental site is cuirently bein developed for medical office ttse.
