In this memorandum,we: <br /> • Review the CMP's guiding principles and vision as it relates to <br /> Navarre generally and the subject site specifically <br /> • Describe how the proposed plan is inconsistent with the CMP's <br /> guiding principles and vision in the areas of <br /> o Traffic and pedestrians <br /> o Building height <br /> o Wetlands and Lake Minnetonka <br /> o Dark skies <br /> • Propose other uses for the subject property that would be con- <br /> sistent with the CMP <br /> CMP Guiding Principles and Vision <br /> The CMP was developed between 2008 and 2010,predating a period of <br /> growth in Orono and surrounding communities that has significantly in- <br /> creased the pressures on Navarre and its residents. However,even as Na- <br /> varre was nearly a decade ago,the CMP expresses concern about manag- <br /> ing that growth in a way that would preserve Orono and Navarre's <br /> unique natures and resources. <br /> For example,even in identifying the subject property as potentially re- <br /> ceiving a "mixed use" designation,the CMP recognizes the need for cau- <br /> tion,calling upon public input: <br /> The "Mixed Use"designation allows for the possibility of higher <br /> density multi-family residential development such as senior assisted <br /> living,townhomes,condominiums or apartment buildings.Actual <br /> development of such uses on any given property would not occur <br /> until a developer applies for and successfully completes a formal re- <br /> zoning process during which there would be ample opportunities <br /> for public input.2 <br /> The CMP continues this cautious tone in outlining the general principles <br /> for development that should guide any zoning change for the subject <br /> property(all emphasis is added): <br /> 2 CMP page 4. <br /> 2 <br />
