CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation <br /> <br /> <br />City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 4 <br />Perhaps the single most important event that has shaped Orono's development in the last half-century was <br />the City-wide rezoning in 1975. Much of the City had been zoned for residential development with 1-acre <br />lots by 1967, with most of the Navarre area around Lake Minnetonka being zoned 1/2-acre, and a few <br />areas in northeast Orono requiring 1-1/2 or 2-acre lot sizes. The 1975 rezoning took into account two <br />important factors. First, that creating and maintaining a low density of development in the watershed is <br />critical to preserving Lake Minnetonka; and second, that lots must be large enough to accommodate on- <br />site sewage treatment systems on a permanent basis, due to the high cost of sewering and the "urbanization <br />spiral". <br /> <br />As a result, the 1975 rezoning established a minimum lot size of 2 acres (or 5 acres in northwest Orono) <br />for 80% of Orono's land area. This had a dramatic effect not only in slowing development, but in effect <br />capping the City's ultimate potential population at around 10,000 rather than the 30-40,000 that had been <br />predicted under typical suburban development scenarios. <br /> <br />Purposely Left Blank
