I I I 3. While the City has no staged development plan, staging of future MUSA expansions is established as follows: The RR-IA S-acre zoning district, plus the additional areas of northwest Orono encompassing Hennepin Countv Park Reserve District’s Baker Regional Park, will not be incorporated within the MUSA during the planning period 2000-2020. ^ The remaining 2-acre single-familv LR-IA Lakeshore Residential and RR-IB Rural Residential zoning districts of western, north central and northeast Orono mav be incorporated into the MUSA during the planning period 2000-2020 under the following • •priority system: Priority 1 Priority 2 Properties that abut the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka and all other Orono lakes. Properties that abut City-protected tributaries, and all other properties within the Shoreland Qyerlav District. Priority 3 Priority 4 Substandard developed lots not covered by Priorities 1 and 2. New development using clustering that permanently preserves blocks of open space. Priority 5 Conforming developed lots not covered bv Priorities 1 and 2. Priority 6 New development not covered bv Priorities 1. 2 or S. 4. Expansion of the MUSA on the established prioritized basis will occur only when one of the following conditions is found: a. When an area of existing homes has failing or non-conforming septic systems and replacement drainfield sites are not available for a significant share of the existing homes. b. When an individual home has a failing or non-conforming septic system, does not have an alternate drainfield site, and is adjacent to existing sewer lines. c. When a new residential development meeting all required development standards is adjacent to existing sewer lines and the developer agrees to bear all costs of extending municipal sewer to the development. ^ The Metropolitan Council in 1996 granted the Citv SO sewer connections for existing developed properties near existing sewer lines but outside the MUSA. The City has established criteria for apportionment and use of those units based on condition of e.xisting septic system: proximity toexisting sewer lines: and capabilin-for replacement ofexistingseptic system. The City w ill from time to time review and revise as necessar\' the criteria established for use of the 50 units. Additionally, from time to time the Citv w ill incorporate into the MUSA the properties making use of the 50 units. CMP 6-7
