MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 25, 2006 7:00 o'clock p.m. (6. #06 -3212 HEMPEL PROPERTIES, OUTLOT A STONEBAY (NW CORNER OF WILLOW DRIVE NORTHAND HIGHWAY 12), Continued) Brokl stated one of the options available to the applicants tonight or at the next meeting is that the applicants could amend their application to request a reguiding of the site to office use, with the condition that there would be no retail component. Brokl stated under the City's current comprehensive plan, retail uses are pem-iitted, which would require an RPUD approval process. The applicants would still need a RPUD since the site is still zoned residential. Brokl stated the applicants could argue in the future for the retail component but they would be able to pursue the office component at the present time under that option. Sansevere inquired whether the developer would be willing to construct just the medical component without the retail. Young stated they would not be interested in putting a building on this site until they had some tenants for the structure and that in their opinion, based on the present market, the retail component would be a draw. Murphy moved, Peterson seconded, Application #05 -3212, Hempel Properties /John Terrance Homes, Outlot A, Stonebay, to deny the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Gaffron stated if the comprehensive plan amendment were denied, the site would still require a pharmacy. Murphy stated he would like the Council to undo what was previously approved for this site. Brokl stated the City could proceed forward with the rezoning and reguiding of this site if they so choose • but that the City would need to provide notice to the property owner. Sansevere inquired whether the applicants would like this application tabled. Kerznack inquired what the next step would be if the application is tabled. Sansevere stated it is unlikely that the comprehensive plan amendment approved a couple of years ago could be redone by the next council meeting. Sansevere stated tabling their application would give the applicants some time to revise their plans to only propose office for this site.
