Resolution No. 7210 <br />CMP Part 3B. General Land Use Plan <br />the planned development types and densities. Orono's Urban and Rural areas are depicted and <br />fixed by Map 3B-1. <br />2. The Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) will define the areas of Orono where municipal <br />sewers may be extended. The MUSA will include all parts of Orono's Urban Area and may <br />include parts of Orono's Rural Area where appropriate. The MUSA boundary in Orono will <br />define areas where sewer exists or where it may be extended to serve existing or new <br />development, but will not define the areas where general urban services will be provided, and <br />it will not strictly define the boundary between higher density and low-density development. <br />3. Orono's land use plans will be based upon environmental protection policies. Land use and <br />development must assure the conservation, protection and preservation of sensitive <br />environmental resources in accordance with the goals and policies of the Environmental <br />Protection Plan. <br />4. Development density will be limited throughout the city to a level which will not overload the <br />natural surface water drainage and filtration system. Urbanization increases the rate and <br />quantity of surface runoff while decreasing the water quality. To the extent that it is practical <br />and feasible, the City will supplement existing natural assimilation capacities with man- made <br />ponding areas, but will not allow increases in development density beyond the defined density <br />as a result of such supplementation. <br />5. The wetlands, floodplains, and marshlands of the city will be protected and preserved as <br />wildlife habitats, as unique open spaces, and as an economically practical and effective method <br />of flood protection and storm water runoff filtration. Wherever possible, the City will acquire <br />open space and flowage easements for conservation of these lands. The city will not support <br />the filling of a wetland to provide a buildable lot. <br />6. Protection of lake resources will allow reasonable access, use and enjoyment while preventing <br />overcrowding and excessive encroachment. In conformance with Orono's Shoreland <br />Management regulations, Orono will prohibit overly dense development within 1,000 feet of <br />Lake Minnetonka. Lake use regulations will be promoted to limit excessive boat density and <br />overuse of sensitive bays. <br />7. Lake shorelines will be protected from alteration. Shoreland areas, whether bluff, beach or <br />floodplain, are sensitive environmental features with significant impact on lake water quality, <br />aesthetic values and land use function. These same factors act to draw development which can <br />be destructive if not properly regulated. Natural vegetation in shoreland areas will be preserved <br />insofar as practical and reasonable in order to limit surface runoff and soil erosion, and to <br />utilize excess nutrients. Clearcutting will be prohibited. In areas of soil or wave action erosion, <br />material stone rip rap shoreline protection will be encouraged. Where determined to be feasible <br />and practical, alternative natural methods of shoreline protection other than rip -rap will be <br />promoted. Excavation, filling and other grade changes at or near the shoreline for the sole <br />purpose of accommodating development will be discouraged. <br />City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 7 <br />
