CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan <br /> _ New urban housing will be in a variety of forms including single family homes on <br /> scattered vacant lots throughout the sewered area; planned residential <br /> developments including mixed single family and attached townhome dwelling <br /> units on vacant sewered parcels in the Navarre area and on larger parcels �� <br /> designated for urban development in the Highway 12/Long Lake area; and <br /> �*�^*;�"�, ^r� ^r m^r� senior housing/assisted living developments most likely <br /> along Highway 12 where adequate land and services are available. Other new <br /> units will be in the form of replacement or conversion of existing seasonal or <br /> substandard dwellings especially along the lakeshore. <br /> Most new rural housing will be on new lots of two to five acres net dry-buildable <br /> area, all with prior approved site evaluation and proof of adequate septic system <br /> operation. In Shoreland areas previouslv brou�ht into the MUSA, new low- <br /> density rural development ma ��provided with municipal sewers to afford the <br /> maximum level of Tl�e�1�-�-e� ^r^����'� m �� protection for Lake <br /> Minnetonka and other Orono lakes. <br /> Orono's comprehensive sewer policy plan is designed to provide an adequate, <br /> safe level of sewage treatment and waste water disposal for all urban and <br /> rural properties. Sewage treatment policies respect the limited regional capacity <br /> and the differing levels of service required respectively by urban and rural <br /> neighborhoods. Municipal sewer capacity is available for projected urban <br /> development within the existing urban service area, but there is insufficient <br /> capacity for any major expansion of the existing urban area to densities <br /> commensurate with Metropolitan Council goals of� 3.0 units per acre for all <br /> new sewered development. All new rural non-Shoreland development is intended <br /> to be permanently self-sufficient in terms of on-site sewage treatment. In the <br /> event that existing rural neighborhoods outside the 2008-2030 MUSA are <br /> identified as having significant on-site system failures with no on-site alternatives <br /> for sewage treatment, requests for extension of municipal sewer will be <br /> considered only if the affected residents are willing to pay all costs associated <br /> with such service, under the condition that rural densities will not be <br /> compromised and rezoning to urban densities will not occur, and subject to <br /> approval by the Metropolitan Council when required. <br /> Orono's transportation plan is tailored to the different needs of urban and <br /> rural neighborhoods. Most roads within Orono directly service the abutting <br /> properties. The intended exceptions are the e� Old Hibhway 12 corridor <br /> from Brown Road to Old Crystal Bay Road, and the �-*�� new Highway <br /> 12 Bypass which is �'�^^��' *^ '�� a limited-access arterial beginning east of the <br /> City and extending west to County Road 6 with no interchanges or local access. <br /> Near the lakeshore and in some rural areas, the collector roads are relatively slow <br /> speed with circuitous alignment dictated by the hills and bays rather than by <br /> commuter preference. These roads have been designated "scenic parkways" to <br /> connote their aesthetic qualities and lack of high speed, through traffic potential. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-14 <br />
