ENVIRONMENT JUNE, 1980 <br />6.THE WETLANDS AND MARSHLANDS OF THE CITY WILL BE PROTECTED AND PRESERVED <br />HABITATS, AS UNIQUE OPEN SPACES, AND AS THE ONLY ECONOMICALL <br />PRACTICAL METHOD OF FLOOD PROTECTION AND STORM WATER RUNOFF FILTRATION. <br />The Harza Study, the 208 Hater Quality Management Study, and Orono's <br />Surface Water Management Plan all recommend this approach to permanent <br />water quality management for Lake Minnetonka. In addition, the Orono <br />Plan goes on to identify individual wetlands and marshlands that <br />require protection as part of the city's storm water management program. <br />It is the policy of this plan to effectuate the policies and recommen­ <br />dations of the 1974 Orono Surface Water Management Plan. <br />7.PROTECTION OP THE CITY'S MARSHLAND, WETLANDS AND DRAINAGEWAYS SHALL <br />i:j:LUDE PROTECTION OF ADJOINING LANDS AND PREVENTION OF DRAINAGE, <br />FILLING, DREDGING OR WETLAND'S VEGETATION REMOVAL. Ordinances will <br />establish setbacks for all land alteration or construction. Wherever <br />possible, the City will acquire open space and flowage easements for <br />conservation of these lands. <br />•9. <br />RESOURCES WILL ALLOW REASONABLE ACCESS, USE AND <br />ENJOYMENT WHILE PREVENTING OVERCROWDING AND EXCESSIVE ENCROACHMENT. <br />In conformance with Mn. DNR Shoreline Management regulations for <br />recreational development lakes, the City will prohibit overly dense <br />within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka. Lake use regulations <br />Will be promoted to limit excessive boat density and overuse of sensitive <br />*Y**use regulations will be developed to provide reasonable <br />control over building density, land alteration and lakeshore encroachment <br />^E SHORELINES WILL BE PROTECTED FROM ALTERATION. Natural vegetation <br />in shoreland areas will be preserved insofar as practical and reasonable <br />in order to retard surface runoff and soil erosion, and to utilize <br />excess nutrients. clearcutting will be prohibited. In areas of soil <br />or wave action erosion, natural stone rip rap shoreline protertion will be encouraged. <br />AMn^rnwr DISCOURAGED BECAUSE OF ADVERSE SHORT-TERM <br />®xisted naturally.
