CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 21 All local city roads are constructed to a 7 ton standard, though weight restricted to 4 ton in the spring months to protect the longevity of the road structure. AVIATION Orono is not in an influence area of a regional airport and is therefore not subject to associated land use restrictions. Airspace protection should be included in local codes/ordinances to control height of structures. There are currently no existing or planned aviation facilities within the City of Orono. However, the City is responsible for airspace protection in order to reduce hazards to air travel within the region. Given the distance to the nearest airports, there are no radio beacons or other air navigation aids located in off-airport locations in Orono. Any person or organization who intends to sponsor the construction or alteration of a structure affecting navigable airspace as defined in Federal Regulation Title 14; Part 77 needs to inform the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) of the project. This notification is accomplished through the completion and submittal to FAA of Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. In Orono, this requirement applies to any construction or alteration exceeding 200 feet above ground level. The City’s zoning code allows a maximum structure height of 30 feet; therefore it is unlikely that any structures in the City will require FAA notification. There are no seaplane bases located within the City. There are currently no heliports in Orono nor any known plans to construct one. Orono will support the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District in the control of seaplane operation on Lake Minnetonka. The existing level of seaplane operation is satisfactory to Orono. The City will support the LMCD in their monitoring of seaplane operation and in any reasonable changes in regulations necessary to prevent seaplane conflict with the primary boating use of the lake.
