Lakes and Open Water <br /> Areas within the city boundary of open water. The Lakes and associated watersheds are a significant <br /> influence on the quality of life and character of the City. <br /> 2. Rural Preserve (1 units per 5 acres) <br /> The northwest corner of the City is planned for a lower density of one unit per five acres. This area <br /> has been developed to provide large lot and quasi agricultural home sites. The extension of municipal <br /> water or sewer is not intended for these areas. <br /> 3. Rural Residential(1 unit per 2 acres) <br /> This is the typical rural residential density developed and planned to be permanently self-supporting. <br /> No rural density will be allowed greater than one unit per two acres except for those residences in <br /> existing rural housing clusters that were originally developed many decades ago and in most cases <br /> have been provided with municipal sewer within the past 3 decades. New rural developments may <br /> include housing clustering when environmental and site conditions allow,provided the overall density <br /> within the development conforms to these requirements, and provided that all sewage treatment needs <br /> can be adequately met within. <br /> 4. Urban Low Residential (I2.5-2 units per acre) <br /> This is intended for areas that have developed in a land use pattern of lots developed many decades <br /> ago smaller than 1 acre, and have access to sanitary sewer services. These lots have a particular impact <br /> on lake water quality, and lake character and storm water management, massing, and hardcover <br /> controls are critical to the retention of this character. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 18 <br />
