CNTP Part 3B. Land L"�se Plan ` <br /> desi�nated for urban development in the Hiahway 12/Lon� Lake area; hiaher <br /> ' density residential alon� the Hiahway 12 corridor; and hiaher density residential <br /> in the form of Mixed Use Development in the 1�Tavarre Commercial District. <br /> Other new units will be in the form of replacement or conversion of existin� <br /> seasonal or substandard dwellinQs especially alon� the lakeshore. <br /> Most new rural housin� 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 previously brouQht into the MUSA, new low- <br /> density rural development may be provided with municipal sewers to afford the <br /> maximum level of protection for Lake 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 /> neiahborhoods. Municipal sewer capacity is available for projected urban <br /> development within the existing urban service area, but there is insufficient <br /> capacity for any inajor expansion of the existing urban area to densities <br /> commensurate with Metropolitan Council goals of 3.0 units per acre for all new <br /> sewered development. All new rural non-Shoreland development is intended to be <br /> permanently self-sufficient in terms of on-site sewage treatment. In the event that <br /> existing rural neighborhoods outside the 2008-2030 MUSA are identified as <br /> havin� significant on-site system failures with no on-site alternatives for sewaQe <br /> treatment, requests for extension of municipal sewer will be considered only if the <br /> affected residents are willin� to pay all costs associated with such service, under <br /> the condition that rural densities ��ill not be compromised and rezonina to urban <br /> densities will not occur, and subject to approval by the Metropolitan Council <br /> 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 Old Hi�hway 12 con-idor fiom Brown <br /> Road to Old Crystal Bay Road, and the ne�� Hiahway 12 Bypass �rhich is a <br /> limited-access arterial be�innina east of the City and extending west to County <br /> Road 6 with no interchan�es or local access. Near the lakeshore and in some rural <br /> areas, the collector roads are relatively slow speed with circuitous alignment <br /> dictated by the hills and bays rather than by commuter preference. These roads <br /> have been desi�nated "scenic park�vays" to connote their aesthetic qualities and <br /> lack of hiQh speed, through traffic potential. <br /> The urban areas are pro��ided with a typical network of city streets connecting <br /> residential and shopping areas with each other. The rural area is �-idded-off with <br /> a core system of publicly maintained collector and minor arterial streets running <br /> at regular intervals. Within this orid, most rural homes are located on <br /> neighborhood owned and maintained private roads servinQ fi•om three to ten <br /> Cit�- of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-13 <br />
