Sept. 23 Work Session <br /> Page 2 <br /> people present (Sector Rep Tom Caswell and Watershed Coordinator Jack Frost) as well as Eric <br /> Everson (MCWD Exec Dir.) as to where we are at with the Comp Plan. <br /> Mary Hill Smith indicated that considering the grilling that Met Council gave Minnetrista about <br /> providing more density, and given that Orono is one ring closer to downtown than Minnetrista, we <br /> should expect that Met council will be looking for significant higher density areas in Orono. We <br /> didn't get into how many units or at what densities might be an "acceptable" amount. <br /> Goals for Se�tember 23 Work Session <br /> 1. Review the revised DRAFT table of contents, advise if anything here seems out of whack. <br /> 2. Re��iew DRAFT Parts I and II and the list of proposed figures, etc. and advise whether there <br /> are significant concepts missing that should be added to these mostly introductory sections. <br /> 3. Discuss whether you wish to consider additional areas for higher density housing, especially <br /> in light of the strong neighborhood support in favor of'staying the course' in the 2-acre zones <br /> that was shown at the Bancor public hearing; and consider strategies for meeting Met <br /> Council's density goals in light of such local opposition...such as redevelopment in already <br /> higher density azeas? or ? <br /> Topics for future Comp Plan work sessions: <br /> Thursday September 7: Stormwater Plan (Bonestroo will be presenting information <br /> regarding a development fee structure to fund the capital <br /> improvements aspect of the plan) <br /> Comp Plan Future Topics for Discussion: <br /> 1)Transportation Policies and Goals(future road maintenance policies,assessment <br /> policies; potential County turnbacks or exchanges; rural road standards; <br /> private road standards, etc.) <br /> 2) Vision for Highway 12 Corridor (post-bypass) <br /> 3) Parl:s Plan ( adopt Park Commission's 1997-98 draft plan,or?) <br /> 4) Historic Preservation (any support for doing this?) <br /> I will be continuing to generate sections of the plan for discussion in the coming weeks and will <br /> shoot them off to you as quickly as possible.
