CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan <br /> SHORELAND MANAGEMENT <br /> The City of Orono in 1992 adopted a comprehensive Shoreland Management <br /> Ordinance, pursuant to the authorization and policies contained in Minnesota <br /> Statutes, Chapter 103F, Minnesota Regulations Parts 6120.2500-6120.3900, and <br /> the planning and zoning enabling legislation in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462. <br /> The purpose of the Shoreland Management Ordinance is to promote the public <br /> health, safety and general welfare by providing for the wise subdivision, use and <br /> development of shorelands abutting public waters that exist within the City's <br /> corporate boundaries. The City recognizes that the uncontrolled use and <br /> development of shorelands has a negative impact on not only the quality of <br /> surface waters, but on the economic, recreational and natural environmental <br /> values of sharelands and the waters they surround. <br /> The specific intent of the Shoreland Management Ordinance is: <br /> 1. Protect the water quality of Lake Minnetonka and other lakes within the <br /> City by allowing development of uses in the shoreland areas which are <br /> compatible with the goals and policies of this Community Management <br /> Plan. <br /> 2. Provide appropriate standards for development which will minimize the <br /> impacts of shoreland development on the water quality and the economic, <br /> aesthetic, and natural environment values of Orono's lakes. <br /> Orono's defined Shoreland Overlav District is de�icted on Map 3A-7. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3A-38 <br />
