MUSA EXTENSION - DEERING ISLAND <br /> 4400 Deering Island <br /> Orono, MN 55364 <br /> Hennepin County <br /> PROPERTY DATA: <br /> • 3.02 +1- acres Island on Lake Minnetonka <br /> • Includes an appx. 1,100 sq ft 2BR one level home <br /> • Electric is run from mainland <br /> • Water (well) and sewer (septic system) <br /> • Zoning is "Seasonal Recreation" thru City of Orono <br /> MUSA EXTENSION PROPOSAL—DEERING ISLAND <br /> The 4400 Deering Island property is now under common ownership with the property directly <br /> across the channel to the West at the end of Shorewood Lane in Mound, MN. <br /> The island has a private well and septic system at present. The septic system is older and was <br /> planned to be upgraded by the new owner at some point. <br /> The Mound property is currently undergoing reconstruction, and during meetings with the City of <br /> Mound a suggestion was made by Mound staff that city services could possibly be run to the island <br /> during construction of the Shorewood Lane property. <br /> Mound staff, including Planning and Public Works have indicated a willingness to provide City <br /> utility services to Deering Island, provided the City of Orono agreed and approved. <br /> It was identified that a requirement of approval would include extending MUSA boundaries to <br /> include Deering Island. An informal conversation with the Met Council indicated such an extension <br /> would be possible. <br /> In speaking with City of Orono staff, it appears an extension of City services to the island would be <br /> consistent with Orono's policy of providing lakeshore properties with municipal sewer (and water). <br />
