111 ' <br /> 111 <br /> LAND USE JUNE, 1980 <br /> 11. A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF NATURAL WOODLANDS AND OPEN SPACE WILL BE <br /> RETAINED ON EACH PROPERTY. Retention of the <br /> natural environment requires careful siting <br /> and preservation of trees and open space on <br /> each urban property. <br /> 12. LAND USE STANDARDS WILL LIMIT THE IMPACT OF URBAN ENCROACHMENT ON <br /> LAKE MINNETONKA. Minimum lot width will space <br /> 111 out docks and structural encroachments while <br /> increasing areas of natural vegetation . Lake <br /> use regulations will limit the number of boats <br /> per property and the amount of public waters <br /> available for private docking and boat storage . <br /> 13. RETENTION OF NATURAL VEGETATION WILL LIMIT THE IMPACT OF URBANIZATION <br /> AS VISIBLE FROM THE LAKE. Building heights will <br /> be limited to less than the typical tree height . <br /> Minimum green belts will be provided with pro- <br /> hibitions against clearcutting or excessive <br /> thinning of vegetation . Natural vegetation will <br /> be preserved on slopes and retaining walls will <br /> be discouraged except when absolutely necessary <br /> to prevent erosion , in which case they will be <br /> screened with natural vegetation . <br /> RURAL LAND USE POLICIES <br /> 11 1. ORONO'S RURAL SERVICE AREA WIL BE <br /> RESIDENTIAL LAND USE. Orono ' srollingEruralRVED FareOR dERMANENT LOW-DENSITY <br /> 11 is not suitable for commercial agriculture . <br /> Likewise , the delicate balance of storm water <br /> nutrient loading vs marshland assimilative capacity <br /> preclude expansion of the urban service area without <br /> major environmental problems for Lake Minnetonka. <br /> Therefore , the ideal land use for that portion of <br /> Orono located outside of the Urban Service Area <br /> (MUSA) is the planned low-density rural residential <br /> land use . Commercial and industrial uses will not <br /> be permitted in the rural area . <br /> I <br /> I <br /> CMP 4-19 <br /> N <br />
