CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan <br /> HISTORIC SITE PRESERVATION PLAN <br /> Orono began to develop in the mid 19th Century, and many of the vestiges of early development are still <br /> present,in the form of standing buildings and structures,foundations,fence lines,roadway corridors,place <br /> names and other more subtle reminders of the past. Additionally, due to Orono's unique location on the <br /> shores of Lake Minnetonka, prehistoric native burial mound sites are known to have existed in various <br /> locations throughout the City. <br /> Orono has long encouraged the preservation of historic sites and structures,but has never adopted a formal <br /> preservation plan. Because no formal plan has been in place, many historic properties have been lost or <br /> significantly changed as development and redevelopment progressed. The subdividing of many of the old <br /> lakeshore estate properties has typically left a stately mansion surrounded by modern high-end homes <br /> rather than formal grounds. <br /> The City is fortunate that the West Hennepin Pioneer's Association Museum is located in neighboring <br /> Long Lake,with its members serving as an invaluable resource for helping to preserve the past. <br /> Historic Preservation Policies <br /> 1. In order to ensure that Orono's heritage is preserved, the City will consider development of a <br /> Historic Preservation Plan. The intent of such a plan would be to establish goals, policies and <br /> local regulations resulting in preservation of historic sites, buildings, place names, corridors, <br /> etc. <br /> 2. Orono will work with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in determining whether <br /> properties proposed for development contain historically significant resources which should <br /> be preserved. <br /> APPENDIX <br /> Appendix 1 Maps <br /> Map 3B-1 Urban and Rural Areas <br /> Map 3B-2 Existing Land Use <br /> Map 3B-2B Existing Land Use-Navarre Area <br /> Map 3B-3 Proposed Land Use <br /> Map 3B-3B Proposed Land Use Navarre Area <br /> Map 3B-4 Planned Development Areas <br /> Appendix II Navarre Area Plan and appendices. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 32 <br />
