The basic goal of [the CMP] is preservation: Preservation of our <br />resources; preservation of our distinct urban and rural life- <br />styles; preservation of Lake Minnetonka and its sensitive watershed; <br />and preservation of individual initiative and responsibility' <br />The concern of the residents is to provide for continuing <br />maintenance and preservation of those natural resources and <br />social amenities which attracted people to Orono in the first <br />place. Near the lake, density of development has to be regulated in or- <br />der to minimize the resultant stormwater runoff pollution which, if <br />unrestricted, could permanently alter and destroy the ecology of this <br />very unique resource.' <br />Orono's managed growth policy means that the need to use and <br />enjoy Lake Minnetonka will be balanced with protection of its water <br />quality and accessibility for future generations. This policy means <br />that the acceptance of growth and development changes will be <br />balanced with conservation of our resources and natural amenities, <br />and maintenance of our small town social character.' <br />Additional urban development will occur in the urbanized ar- <br />eas consistent with the capacities of the existing urban services and <br />at limited densities consistent with all environmental constraints.' <br />Urban Community Goal 3 — To improve the quality of life and <br />neighborhood aesthetics while maintaining the existing diversity <br />of housing and shopping opportunities.' <br />Urban Community Goal 4 — To prevent overly dense development <br />or any excessive demand for services which would in any way ad- <br />versely affect Lake Minnetonka or its associated wetlands or drainage <br />areas.8 <br />' CMP page 2-9. <br />4 CMP page 2-10. <br />5 CMP page 2-11. <br />6 CMP page 2-15. <br />7 CMP page 2-17. <br />8 CMP page 2-17. <br />
