MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING <br />• HELD NOVEMBER 14,1995 <br />Gaffron suggested two options for the Interim Strategy for Reduction of Nonpoint Source Pollution: <br />I . Ask Met Council to delay imposition of the Interim Strategy requirements. <br />2. Incorporate, by ordinance, NURP Standards and Best Management Practices into the <br />existing Code without doing a comprehensive stormwater plan at this point. These <br />have already been included in the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Moorse noted that approximately $50,000 has been included in the 1996 budget process for a <br />stormwater management plan. <br />Hurr suggested that Mary Smith be kept informed and ask her to be present at all meetings with Met <br />Council and Orono. <br />Gaffron asked if all ten hot spots plus the school district property and hockey site should be included <br />in the application. <br />Hurr responded that as much as possible should be included in the application. Callahan agreed <br />adding that additional units should also be included for potential properties adjacent to the existing <br />• MUSA boundary, possibly 50. <br />Gaffron commented on the Rural Density Analysis noting that Met Council has already agreed that <br />Orono is exempt. <br />Transportation includes the Highway 12 issues that are still not resolved. Kelley added that County <br />Road 6 and 15 are also being studied. Moorse noted that there are many positives in relation to <br />Orono's transportation plan. <br />Gaffron thought it would take at least 2 -3 weeks to complete the application before final review by <br />Council. Met Council has 60 days from the date they receive the application to review and respond <br />to the application. <br />Hurr suggested that Council and Gaffron meet with Mary Smith prior to meeting with Met Council, <br />probably in early December. <br />Callahan noted that even with the MUSA application and the ten hot spots identified, there are still <br />approximately two- thirds of Orono's properties with sewer /septic problems that are not addressed <br />by inclusion in the MUSA boundaries. <br />Goetten thanked Gaffron for the time and good work in preparing information for the MUSA <br />• Amendment Application. <br />3 <br />
