, 1980 LAND USE JUNE, 1980REATMENT11. RURAL LAKESHORE AREAS WILL HAVE DUAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. The low-density residential land uses will automatically reduce environmental pressures on the shoreline. In addition, the rural areas will be subject to the same shoreline protection performance standards as the urban areas, including minimum setbacks, green belts, clear- cutting prohibitions and lake use regulations.Taken together, these factors should preserve to • a large extent the original appearance of Orono s <br />rural shoreline as seen from the lake. <br />THE LAND USE PLAN <br />rivate woods <br />CTED EOR <br />MAP NO. 6 INDICATES THE BASIC LAND USE PLAN OF THE CITY: THE DESIGNATION <br />OF ORONO'S URBAN SERVICE AREA AND ORONO*S RURAL SERVICE AREA.
