Long Lake's Downtown Master Plan focuses � � <br /> on increased residential density, which supports the need foi• a local grocer. Although <br /> Long Lake has a strong retail presence within its downtown and surrounding area, this . . . <br /> type of retail use would have difficulty locating on a smal{er lot in the downtown where . <br /> the necessary parking may not be available and access may not be ideal. Without <br /> pai�cel assembly and major redevelopment within Long Lake, the co-op does not have . <br /> an alternative place to locate along Highway 12 within the Long Lake / Orono area. .The � <br /> corner of Willow Drive and Highway 12, with the existing signa�ized intersection, make <br /> Outlot A an attractive site for• a food co-op. . � � <br /> Access to the site is similar to the original development plan of Outlot A with a right- � � � <br /> in/right-out on Willow Drive and full access on Kelley Parkway. The proposed uses are. <br /> of a neighborh�ood-scale, supporting the neighborhood residents who are using Willow � <br /> Drive or Highway 12 for their work commute. Therefore, we do not anticipate an � <br /> increase in the amount of traffic on the roadways as a result of the proposed • <br /> � � development. Yhe site plan provides 136 parking stalls where 144 parking stalls are <br /> required and w� are proposing shared parking between the uses during peak and non- <br /> peak times. The plan proposes to decrease parking and increase landscape area <br /> through the inclusion of rain gardens between parking aisles. <br /> The proposed food co-op is oriented with a focus on the regional pond to the west of <br /> Outlot A, The co-op will include a community room and outdoor patio facing the pond � . <br /> for use by customers of the deli. The office/bank building is set back fr�m the <br /> intersection of Willow Drive and Highway 12 for optirnal drive through circulation and to . � <br /> provide adequate parking field for both uses. Pedestrian pathways are pravided along �. � <br /> Willow Drive, Kelley Parkway ancl to the proposzd build�ngs wi#hin the site. The . <br /> proposed building design will be of a quality acceptable to the City of Orono. . . <br /> � The site plan details would be submitted for City review and approval as part of a future . <br /> �PUD application for the proposed food co-op and bank development on Outlot A. <br /> Request . . <br /> Tt�e current CMP limits retail uses or� Outlot A by square footage and specifically � . <br /> requires a pharmacy/conver�ience store as a result of a past Walgreens application. We <br /> request fhat the language pertaining to a pharmacy be stricken so not to limit the main . <br /> tenani an this site. �dditianally, vre request that th� language limiting the maxirnurn • <br /> cn��ar� fnota�e for "r?maining buildings" on the site to 7,000 s.f, be stricken.
