going out to bid in the near future.
Kellogg stated that the county had reviewed the plans, but they had not yet been submitted

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
3. #02 -2782 Professional Properties of Orono, 2765 Kelley Parkway —PUD
Rezoning and Concept Plan Review — Resolution No. 4823
Gaffron stated that the applicants were present. They are proposing a medical office
building at the northeast quadrant of Old Crystal Bay Road and Highway 12. At the last
meeting Council reviewed the concept plan and made a number of recommendations to
the applicants. The resolution for adoption contains a number of elements, including
findings that establish a basis for rezoning from RR -1B, One Family Rural Residential
District, to B -6/PUD for medical office use. He stated that in the conclusions section the
resolution grants concept approval and establishes specific conditions for development
plan approval. Gaffron stated that Council should look closely at Section A, Development
Standards and General Conditions. The resolution does not address the possibility of site
expansion by acquisition of adjacent lands, however, the applicant may need to acquire
more land in order to meet the conditions of the resolution. He suggested Council review
the concept plan resolution and give the applicant direction for the development plan
approval phase. •

Rezoning and Concept Plan Review Resolution No. 4823 — Continued
Sansevere asked if the applicant would be able to purchase the adjacent land to the west of
the parcel. Dr. Karl Berg stated that they had only just found out they could not acquire
the land to the west.
Dr. Berg stated that they could not get green space around their building if the City
requires intensive green space along Kelley. The green space requirements change the
building to the extent that the drive - through concept would no longer work. Without the
acquisition of the adjacent land, the current building plan would not work, so they would
end up redoing the building plan. He stated that a two -story building was not an option
for their planned use of the building. The medical interior hasn't been designed yet, so
they still have some flexibility. Also, they would like to purchase the property to the east
of their parcel.
Murphy asked if it would help if Kelley Parkway were moved north. Dr. Berg stated the
road couldn't be moved quickly enough. They would require a variance or some other
direction from the Council.
Mayor Peterson stated that she was not willing to grant a variance on new construction on
• the north side along Kelley Parkway. Sansevere, Murphy, White, and Nygard agreed.

Murphy stated he would like to see Kelley Parkway made more serpentine. Moorse stated
that moving the intersection of Kelley Parkway and Old Crystal Bay Road to the north
would not solve the traffic problem caused by school traffic during morning and afternoon
peak times. Moving it would be expensive and would affect the bermed green space in
front of City Hall and the Police Station. He stated that the green space issue wouldn't
kill the medical office project because there was the chance that they could buy the
property to the east, or the City could buy it and lease it to the medical office
development. White stated that even with the road made more serpentine, it would not
affect the medical office building because of needing a straight stretch leading to the
intersection.
Dr. Berg stated that even if they are unable to purchase the parcel to the east, they could
take the building off the 45 degree angle and make it work on the existing parcel. He
asked Council to give them direction on the storm water issue and whether or not they
should continue on the current concept. Moorse stated that the storm water issue couldn't
be resolved at the meeting because the applicants needed approval from the Watershed
District.
Gaffron pointed out that the storm water issue was addressed in the resolution, items 8 and
16.

Rezoning and Concept Plan Review — Resolution No. 4823 — Continued
Vicki VanDell stated that in the table shown on page 4 of the resolution, the south side
was listed as a rear setback, and that according to the ordinance rear setbacks should be
10' for parking not adjacent to residential. Gaffron stated it was considered a front
adjacent to industrial for zoning purposes and that they used 15' for a rear parking setback
all the way through. Dr. Berg asked that the setback be made 10' instead of 15'. Gaffron
stated that he had provided guidelines that met code and it would be up to Council to
determine if 10' or 15' was appropriate. Gaffron stated that they viewed Kelley Parkway
as the front because of the access and street address being on Kelley. He asked Council
how much separation they wanted between the parking and Highway 12.
Applicant questioned if the asphalt bike trail is adjacent to the property and joins the bike
trail on the west side, and if they have a 5' clearance on the west side, would they need a
20' clearance to the south side? He stated it would be very beneficial to the project to
have an additional 5' for clearance and green space around the building. They are being
pushed to the center of the property on all sides. Gaffron stated the intent was to have the
bike trail along the south be abutting the property. They would either have 10' or 15'
between the parking area and the bike trail.
Mayor Peterson stated that they should stay with code and require 15'. Moorse stated that •
this would be the first development on Kelley Parkway and will set the standard for
development to the east. If the City does not stick with code, then they would be hard
pressed to require future developments to conform to code. All of Council agreed that
they should go with the code.
White asked if the lighting would be street or pedestrian lighting. Gaffron stated that it
could be either or both depending on Council's preference. Moorse stated they wanted
low lights with shields to light the walkway.
Dr. Kotteman asked if it was typical for the developer to pay for the lighting. Gaffron
stated for a new development it was, but for an existing lot the City could install the
lighting and then assess it back to the developer.
Gaffron stated that construction of the trail could be deferred with the developer posting
suitable financial security in the interim. Sansevere stated that when projects get deferred,
they too often don't get done in a timely fashion. Gaffron stated they would have to put
an acceptable time frame on the trail construction.
White asked if they could bind future Councils from changing the development to a retail
complex. Gaffron stated that future Council would be able to change the development as
it saw fit, but would be guided by the current Council's decisions. Moorse stated that
besides changing the development, a Council would have to change the zoning and the •

Comprehensive Plan to go over 5% retail.
Gaffron stated that the Council needed to decide if Dr. Berg would be charged Park
Dedication fees because the development was part of a subdivision and the developer at
that time paid fees in 1985 at the time of the subdivision.
Gaffron stated approval of the concept would be good for 6 months and could be extended
if necessary.
Dr. Berg stated they were motivated to work with the City and see their project through.
Dr. Kotteman stated that the specifics of the plan would change with the acquisition of the
parcel to the east. They would like to use about %z acre, or 30', of the parcel to the east.
Sansevere stated that the land would be used for the development regardless of whether
they purchase it, or the City does and then leases it to them.

Quadrant )—Comp Plan Amendment/PUD Rezoning /Concept Plan
Review
Gaffron stated that the applicants were present, and were proposing to develop a mixed
residential and commercial development. He stated that the 2000 -2020 Comprehensive
Plan discusses the development along Kelley Parkway. South of Kelley Parkway up to
Highway 12 has been guided for office use. North of Kelley Parkway the Comprehensive
Plan proposed developing multi - family housing at a density of 3 -6 units per acre. The
applicants were proposing to put residential south of Kelley Parkway, as opposed to
office. They also proposed a change to the Community Management Plan to allow retail
on the northwest corner of Willow and Highway 12. The applicant proposed a grocery
store, restaurant, and specialty retail. Gaffron stated that the request was 3 -fold: to change
from office to residential uses between Kelley Parkway and 12, to allow retail at the
northwest corner of Willow and Highway 12 where it is guided for office, and to
determine if a grocery store is appropriate at that corner.
Gaffron noted that the Planning Commission recommended approval to amend the
Community Management Plan to guide development for residential or office space north
• of 12, south of County 6, between Willow and Old Crystal Bay Roads. They also

recommended that Council guide the appropriate spaces defined by Willow on the east
and Old Crystal Bay on the west, Highway 12 on the south and Willow View
development boundary on the north for possible retail that is not accessory to an office or
anything else. They recommended that allowed retail uses be accessory to the residents of
this development and surrounding community. They discussed, but did not reach a
conclusion concerning whether grocery was an acceptable use for that parcel. They
expressed concern about traffic impacts and suggested a traffic study would be very
helpful.
Gaffron stated that staff recommended against allowing a grocery store as proposed. Staff
agreed with the Planning Commission that some minimal level of limited retail uses on
the northwest corner of 12/Willow would be appropriate, including the restaurant use. In
general the office market in that area is not strong, however, they have seen that uses such
as the medical office building previously discussed are viable in the area.
The City spent considerable time developing its 2000 -2020 Community Management Plan
(CMP). The applicants' proposed conversion from commercial office use to multifamily
residential south of Kelley Parkway, would result in an overall residential density .
significantly higher than the City intended for the property, and significantly increase the
intensity and massing of structural development along Kelley Parkway.
He asked Council to consider: 1. if it supported the CMP Amendment request for
conversion from commercial office to multifamily residential and rezoning from RR -1B to
RPUD for the area between Highway 12 and Kelley Parkway, 2. if it supported the CMP
Amendment and rezoning from RR -1B to B -6 PUD for some level of retail commercial
use at the northwest corner of the 12/Willow intersection that is not strictly accessory to
the office use, 3. if it supported the proposed 30,000 s.f. grocery store element of the
development plan at the intersection of 12/Willow.
Steve Johnston, applicant and Orono resident, stated he is president of Landform, Inc., and
all aspects of the project design would be handled within the 55- person firm. They were
after a high level of detail and quality, and they focus on walkable neighborhood plans.
He stated that they were currently researching the size of grocery store that the community
would support and felt it was probably closer to 22,000 s.f. than the proposed 30,000 s.f.
Their level of quality development could be supported by the property values in Orono
and there is demand in the community for that type of housing. The City would benefit
from adding life cycle housing to the community. The development includes 2.5 miles of
trails and sidewalks. They estimated the development would provide $500,000 in park •

dedication fees. The development would be maintained by an association with the
resources to keep it properly maintained. The development has a $1.7 million landscape
budget. Johnston said that sort of funding comes from density. The project was being
funded 100% by the developer and would have a $60 million market value when
completed.
Jolnston stated that they chose the retail location because there is existing retail on the
three other corners of the intersection. He stated that the site was 37.5 acres of dry land,
with 32.9 acres designated for residential. With 82 rowhouses and 41 townhomes on 25.7
acres, they came to a density of 4.8 units /acre, within the density range of 3 -6 in the CMP.
If one factored in the 112 lofts and the 7.2 acres they comprise, the density would go to
7.3 units /acre.
He stated that putting offices in the area would compete with Long Lake's downtown
redevelopment, and that the cost of land is too high to support small offices.
Project Architect Carolyn Krahl stated that a walkable community is a return to what the
• baby boomers grew up with: streets with sidewalks, neighborhood quality, front porches
and gardens, life cycle housing for both starters and empty nesters. The retail uses
attached to the development would be service- oriented and based on the daily trips that
people make. There is an emphasis on community and civic spaces. She stated that the
changes to Highway 12.would make the area more livable. She stated they used the
existing pond to create a natural community space. Office and residential wouldn't
provide a synergistic mix, but residential and a certain type of retail would provide a flow
back and forth.
Ms. Krahl stated that they proposed curving Kelley to the north so that it wouldn't become
a raceway or frontage road. They designed it to create a transition between the density
levels of the rowhouses and townhomes.
The northern area would consist of single family townhomes with a suburban feel. They
used a single level design, and all units back up to a green space. There were no
sidewalks because the streets are walkable.
The east corner would provide a destination with the proposed retail. The lofts in the west
corner were designed with singles in mind. The rowhouses in the middle would work for
starters or active empty- nesters.
They designed the internal street through the rowhouses to be a safe walkable street with
• all houses having porches that face onto the street. All rowhouses have a front and back

yard area. By clustering the rowhouses together, they gained more green space and
community spaces.
Kendra Lindahl, Project Planner, stated that they had presented a bundle application with
the concept and site plan. She asked that the Council approve the changes to the CMP.
Ms. Lindahl stated that their goal was to create a master plan community, instead of a
piecemeal series of developments. She requested that the zoning change not go through
until the final plan was approved and that the current approval be contingent on future
approvals, so that if the project was unable to be completed, the zoning and land would
revert back to the current status. The PUD would be tied to the uses in the proposed site
plan.

Gaffron stated that the Planning Commission needed Council direction and if the CMP
changes are accepted, could meet on June 24th. The application could come back to
Council on July 8th for concept plan approval. The zoning would not be set until the end
of the process.
Gaffron stated that he disagreed with the density figures presented by the applicants, and is
pointed Council to the May 17th memo included in the packet. Kelley Parkway was
always planned as a through road and there could be different developments to the north
and south of it, so he took the 2.8 acres for the road out of the density calculation. The 5
acre commercial area was also removed from the discussion of residential density. The
overall residential density was therefore 235 units on 31.3 acres, or 7.5 units /acre. While
the City needs the type of housing proposed, it was not included in the CMP as an
acceptable use for the area south of Kelley Parkway.
Ms. Lindahl stated it was a mistake to separate out the different types of housing since the
whole is one development with one developer and one association. She stated taking out
the acreage for Kelley Parkway was unfair because it doesn't currently exist and would be
developed as part of the whole.
Murphy stated he thought there would be three homeowners associations. Ms. Krahl
stated that there would be three associations, one for each type of housing because they
would each have different fees, but they would all operate under one umbrella association.
Johnston stated that the street acreage was not taken out for the Willow View
development. He argued that when the roads don't currently exist, the density is taken
from the whole property and computes the overall density.

Murphy stated he liked the developer's plan, but didn't think it fit with Orono. The
density was too high. Ms. Krahl stated that Long Lake and Mound were both interested in
rowhouse developments. Murphy asked how many rowhouses could be cut from the plan.
Ms. Krahl asked if Council would accept sets of 6 rowhouses.
Sansevere stated he also objected to the rowhouses. He liked the lofts and townhomes.
He also liked the grocery store with limitations, but didn't want the back of the grocery
store facing the intersection, and was concerned there wasn't enough parking. Johnston
stated that they had looked at other concepts for the southeast corner and could meet the
parking requirements easily with a 22,000 s.f. grocery.
Sansevere mentioned that the developer would have no control over what goes in next to
the development on the west. Ms. Krahl stated they wanted to influence that by drawing a
business such as a doctor's office or daycare center that would tie in with their life cycle
development.
Johnston stated that they had massed the rowhouses away from what the non - resident,
• passer -by would see. Murphy stated he wasn't interested in sectioning -off dense areas.
White stated that generally dense areas should be located near a point of mass transit, and
there aren't any connections near the proposed development. Ms. Krahl stated they were
not trying to reduce the use of cars in the area, but provide housing that allows people to
stay in Orono after they've moved past their large family homes.
Johnston stated that the loft units would sell for $180,000, the rowhouses for $280,000,
and the townhomes for $450,000.
Murphy stated that the primary need in Orono was for people ready to down -size, not the
starter homes. He asked why people would gravitate toward the rowhouses. Ms. Krahl
stated the rowhouses would be for more active people who might still have children
coming home and would want the bedrooms upstairs, or who have a home elsewhere and
only summer here.
Mayor Peterson asked if they wanted to amend the CMP. Gaffron confirmed that changes
to the CMP would only pertain to the 50 acre parcel in question. The Council could
specify the density and type of zoning wanted.
Ms. Krahl stated that they chose the corner at Willow for retail because there is already
retail at the other 3 corners of the intersection.

Council if they wanted residential or commercial density. He indicated that the CMP
states that the area between Kelley Parkway and Highway 12 should be zoned commercial
office. He stated that Council could agree to allow multifamily housing in the zone,
without approving the development, then give the applicant direction.
Sansevere stated they should reduce the rowhouses.
Nygard stated he was fine with the residential plan, but did not approve of the grocery
store. He also stated he wanted to see only 6 units /acre on the whole. Johnston stated that
Willow View did not come out with 2 acre lot sizes, it had 1 unit/2 acres that allowed
them more communal green space, with lots smaller than 2 acres. Nygard restated that he
wanted to see the overall density between 3 – 6 units /acre.
White stated they had put a lot of effort into the CMP, and he didn't want a grocery store
or any other retail that the community doesn't need.
•
Mayor Peterson stated that she also didn't want the grocery store or any change to the
CMP south of Kelley Parkway. is
Murphy stated that the plan was excellent, but not for Orono. He wanted them to scale
back. He also stated he was ambivalent about the grocery store, but would prefer it go
into Long Lake.
Terry Dahlstrom stated that a density of 3 -6 units above Kelley Parkway was too low for
the cost of Orono land and the cost of development.
Murphy moved, and Sansevere seconded, to support the CMP Amendment request
for conversion from "commercial office" to "multifamily residential," and rezoning
from RR -1B to RPUD for the area between Highway 12 and Kelley Parkway.
Vote: Ayes: 2, Nays: 3 (Murphy, Peterson, White).
Ms. Lindahl asked for Council to move to deny the request for legal reasons that would
affect their purchase agreement. Gaffron stated that the motion to support the amendment
had failed. For a positive action, Council should vote on a new motion to deny the
request. Sansevere asked the attorney if a new vote was necessary. He said it was not.
White moved, and Mayor Peterson seconded, to deny the CMP Amendment request
for conversion from "commercial office" to "multifamily residential," and rezoning
from RR -111 to RPUD for the area between Highway 12 and Kelley Parkway.

Johnston asked if there was a middle ground where they could bring in an office
development to the area. Mayor Peterson stated that their development must conform
with the CMP. Moorse suggested they do what they can on both sides of Kelley Parkway
as long as it conforms.
Gaffron stated that they still had office guided for the northwest corner for Willow and
asked if Council would like to take a vote to change it to retail that is not strictly accessory
to the offices.
Moorse stated that the issue of allowing retail commercial use at the northwest corner of
the 12/Willow intersection needed discussion, and that Council should consider scale,
proportion, and impact.
Sansevere stated he would vote to follow the Comprehensive Plan guidelines now, but
upon seeing a new plan with changes to the residential development, would consider retail
• options.
Moorse stated that the question was of allowing non - accessory retail and the grocery
store. A traffic analysis was needed. He stated that with a retail corner there, Willow,
Highway 12, and County 6 would become major arteries.
Johnston stated that Willow would be used to reach the grocery store whether it was
located on that corner or further down the road in Long Lake.
Murphy stated they didn't have enough information to make a decision given the changes
required of the residential plan.
Sansevere stated they shouldn't wait for Long Lake to do what's needed for the
neighborhood. Murphy stated they need to support downtown Long Lake and wait for
them to decide if they want to put in a grocery or not. Mayor Peterson and White agreed.
Ms. Krahl stated that Long Lake has already determined they want the grocery store
located on Willow or in the industrial parkway between Brown and Willow because there
isn't room in their downtown area.
Regarding allowing a grocery store in the development: Sansevere supported it,

Sansevere stated he was concerned about boat trailers continuing to park along North
Shore Drive. He stated that the signs were confusing and should clearly read, "no trailers

unable to tend his garden and it was emotionally upsetting. Mayor Peterson suggested the
City try to move in and fill a holding tank that Mr. Jabbour volunteered to place on the
