CMP Part 4E. Park. Open Space and Trail Plan <br />Orono's Land Use Plan calls for development in both the urban and the <br />rural portions of the City. The urban area is expected to have new residential <br />infill development on existing vacant lots and undeveloped parcels at densities <br />consistent with the surrounding neighborhoods. Overall urban population in <br />Orono is expected to remain very close to the existing numbers because of the <br />limited land available for development and because developed density is limited <br />by the ecological considerations of proximity to Lake Minnetonka. The majority <br />of the rural area has been zoned to require a minimum of 2 acres of dry <br />buildable land per residential lot, with an area in the northwest corner of the <br />City requiring at least 5 dry buildable acres. When wetlands, roads, steep slopes <br />and public open space are factored in, nearly 80% of the City's land will be <br />developed at densities averaging from approximately 1 unit per 3 gross acres up <br />to 1 unit per 7 gross acres, sufficient to meet the City's environmental protection <br />goals. Total population forecasts are indicated in the following tables: <br />Table 4E-1 a: Orono Population and Households 1970 - 2030 <br />(Sewered and Unsewered Forecasts <br />Population <br />Year <br />1970 <br />1980 <br />1990 <br />2000 <br />2010 <br />2020 <br />2030 <br />Sewered <br />Urban Area 1/2 & 1 ac.
