CMP Part 3B. Land Gse Plan <br /> and shopping centers located in Navarre and in surrounding communities. Rural <br /> and urban residents alike utilize these facilities and in fact,the commercial vitalitv <br /> of the neighboring cities relies in part upon the regional service area that includes <br /> all of Orono. Promotion of duplicate facilities in Orono would tend to be <br /> uneconomic and counterproductive. <br /> Orono's housing plan is intended to accommodate all ptanned population <br /> growth in a wide variety of housing opportunities. The forecast population <br /> increase of�2 000 persons in the next twenty years translates into a housing <br /> "demand" of approximately 689-800 new dwelling units when deereasing <br /> household sizes are taken into account. This average of�5-3940 new dwellines <br /> per year is consistent with or slightly below Orono's rate of actual ne�� residence <br /> building permit issuance during the past two decades. Based on the Land Use <br /> Plan. approximately two-thirds of these new units are expected to develop in the <br /> urban area. <br /> New urban housine will be in a variety of forms including single family homes on <br /> seattered vacant lots throughout the sewered area; planned residential <br /> developments including miaed 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; �^a�,r <br /> �� ^'� '^"'' ^'' '' "' higher densitv residential alone the <br /> Hiehwav ]2 corridor; and hi�her densitv residential in the form of Mired Use <br /> Development in the Navarre Commercial District. Other new units will be in the <br /> form of replacement or conversion of existing seasonal or substandard dwellines <br /> � especially along the lakeshore. <br /> Most new rural housing will be on new lots of two to five acres net dre-buildable <br /> area. all with prior approved site evaluation and proof of adequate septic system <br /> operation. In Shoreland areas previously brought into the MUSA, ne�a� 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 regiona] capacit}� <br /> and the differing levels of service required respectively by urban and rural <br /> neighborhoods. Municipal sewer capaciry 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 new <br /> sewered development.All new rura] non-Shoreland development is intended to be <br /> permanently self-sufficient in tenns of on-site sewage treatment. In the event that <br /> existing rural neighborhoods outside the 2008-2030 MUSA are identified as <br /> having significant on-site system failures with no on-site alternatives for sewage <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-13 <br />
