Analysis As noted above, the development of the site plan and building has been completed with up front discussions between the YMCA development team and City Staff, to address any issues with ordinances and policies early in the process. The layout as developed has received support from staff. The building sits at an angle to Orono Road, on the eastern portion of the building. This orientation provides maximum visibility from Orono Road and Highway 10, while maximizing the parking lot in the SW comer of the site. The layout was also chosen to accommodate possible future expansion of the facility. This expansion is anticipated to be located on the northwest and northeast comers of the facility. A splash pad and playground area is also proposed on the southeast comer of the building.

These materials will be consistent with the examples provided to the City Council at their July 9, 2006 meeting.
