LMULii^JUNE, 1980 <br />7. DEVELOPMENT OR ALTERATION OF FLOODPLAINS WILL BE RESTRICTED. <br />Most of the City's identified floodplains are <br />located along the shoreline or within designated <br />marshlands and will be protected by regulations <br />applicable to those areas. In addition, where <br />floodplains do exist on otherwise dry buildable <br />land, construction, filling or alteration will <br />be strictly controlled so as to avoid flow <br />restrictions, to avoid flood level increases <br />on other properties, and to avoid costly flood <br />damage or pollution dangers. <br />8. NATURAL RESOURCE INVESTIGATION WILL BE REQUIRED AS PART OF ALL <br />DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS. This will include <br />topographical Information, soil analysis, <br />drainage plans, vegetation plans, erosion <br />control measures and similar site data <br />related to each project, whether public <br />or private. <br />9. ORONO'S LAND USE PLAN WILL PROMOTE THE PRESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE, <br />LIGHT AND AIR. Sufficient open spaces will be <br />provided in each neighborhood and on each lot <br />to prevent overcrowding and to ensure adequate <br />light, air and recreation for all residents. <br />10. PRIVATE STEWARDSHIP OF LAND AND RESOURCES IS PREFERABLE TO INFLEXIBLE <br />PUBLIC CONTROL. Private ownership, maintenance <br />and stewardship of the land, including open space <br />and many types of Improvements, is favored over <br />public ownership as being in the best and most <br />beneficial interests of the property owner and <br />the public, providing for more intimate, <br />responsive and economical land management. <br />11. ALL LAND 0^-JNERS MUST HAVE EQUAL LAND USE OPPORTUNITIES. <br />No land owner should be denied the right to <br />develop his land by any staged growth, land <br />banking or no-growth policy, provided the <br />development can be accomplished within the <br />performance standards, policies and require­ <br />ments of the Community Management Plan. <br />12. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT MUST ENHANCE THE COMMUNITY. <br />Land development should respect and enhance <br />neighboring properties and existing developed <br />character of the neighborhood and the City, <br />preserving the value of the land and the <br />integrity, stability and beauty of the <br />community. <br />CMP 4-14
