Retention of the <br />natural environment requires careful siting <br />and preservation of trees and open space on <br />each urban property. <br />■ <br />■ <br />RIIRAI I AND USE POLICIES <br />1. ORONO’S RURAL SERVICE AREA WILL BE RESERVED FOR PERMANENT LOW-DENSITY <br />RESIDENTIAL LAND USE. Orono's rolling rural area <br />is not suitable for commercial agriculture. <br />Likewise, the delicate balance of storm water <br />nutrient loading vs marshland assimilative capacity <br />preclude expansion of the urban service area without <br />major environmental problems for Lake Minnetonka. <br />Therefore, the ideal land use for that portion of <br />Orono located outside of the Urban Service Area <br />(MUSA) is the planned low-density rural residential <br />land use. commercial and industrial uses will not <br />be permitted in the rural area. <br />■CMP 4-19
