SEWA GE TREA TMEST POLICY PLAN <br />The following Goals and Policies comprise Orono's Comprehensive Sewage Treatment Policy Plan <br />(CSPP). <br />BASIC SEWAGE TREATMENT GOALS <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />To provide an adequate, safe level of sewage treatment and waste water disposal for <br />all residences and other occupied properties in the City <br />To protect Lake Minnetonka, other lakes and streams, surface and ground waters <br />from sewage effluent pollution. <br />To achieve the above goals within the financial capabilities of the City and its citizens <br />without becoming an intolerable burden on the landowners or taxpayers. <br />URBAN SEWAGE TREATMENT POLICIES <br />1. <br />3. <br />4. <br />The Orono's urban (sewer) service area is fixed. <br />Orono's Urban Seiricc Area (MUSA) an d the Sewe r Service Area (MSSR )-are is fixed by <br />this and the other elements of the Community Management Plan and are ]s legally described <br />by Resolution of the City Council as shown on Map No.__(see also the CSPP Appendix). <br />The boundary bet>vcen Orono's urban and rural service areas is not strictly defined <br />bv the MUSA boundary. The boundary between Orono's Urban and Rural service areas is <br />defiled bv the density of development and level of public services intended to be provided. <br />Orono w ill not define its Urban and Rural ser\ ice areas based merely on whether municipal <br />sewer is provided. The MUSA boundary has been amended bv the City in the oast to allow <br />for retrofitting of existing Rural Ser\ ice Area neighborhoods with municipal sewer, to solve <br />existing sewage treatment problems. In these areas, the zoning has not changed to allow for <br />additional development at urban densities, and urban services other than sewer have not been <br />provided. Provision of municipal sewer ser\ ice to existing neighborhoods within the Rural <br />Service Area has not changed their classification from Rural to Urban. <br />Future expansions of the sewer svstem into the Rural Service Area to solve existing <br />neighborhood sewage treatment problems or along thelakeshore to avoid or eliminate <br />potential negative impacts on lake water qualit>‘. will not result in a reclassification of <br />those neighborhoods from Rural to Urban. Expansion of the sewer svstem into the Rural <br />Service Area will not result in the provision of additional urban services, nor will it result <br />in changes to allowed development densities. <br />Additional urban development will occur on lv in the designated Urban Service Area. <br />Additional urban development will occur in the urbanized areas consistent with the <br />capacities of the existing urban services and at limited densities consistent with all <br />environmental constraints. <br />I <br />CMP 6-17
