j?. ! « * Rt*:5olut ion #737 #1 School District No. 287 Page 3 the lakeshore areas, the future requirements from the rural service area together with the existing traffic make County Road #6, Old Crystal Bay Road and Highway #12 incapable for the traffic load of the proposed Vo-Tech School until such time as the new Highway #12 is constructed. The State Highway Department has informed us that the planning stage of new Highway #12 is a minimum of 20 years in the future. Orono foresees no capacity in the present road system for the Vo-Tech School for at least 25 years. 3.Police, Fire and Other Urban Municipal Services: The stated policy of maintaining a slow steady growth rate and the 6% mill rate levy limitation imposes restrictions on Orono that prevent the level of municipal services required by the Vo-Tech School by 1980. Orono foresees that the level of municipal services required by the Vo-Tech School and the resulting impact of sewer availability within Orono could not be provided during the next 25 year period; and WHEREAS, Orono contends that the construction of the Vo- Tech School within the rural service area would so completely absorb the present and projected level of municipal services that Orono residents could be denied their share of the services; and WHEREAS, the original justification for the Vo-Tech location was based on needs and conditions during the late 1960*s. Many of these conditions and projections have changed since that time. Orono itself has spent much time and considerable monies in the planning process to insure a balancing of complex needs in this environmental sensitive area contiguous to Lake Minnetonka. Some of the major decisions that have been rrtade in Orono since the time the proposed Vo-Tech School was justified are: 1.The determination of rural and urban service areas within Orono which shows that the areas adjacent to the Vo-Tech location as a rural service area. 2.The development of a Comprehensive Guide Plan which was adopted by the Metropolitan Council November 7, 1974 which shows the areas adjacent to the Vo-Tech School site as as rural service area for at least the next 25 year planning cycle. 3.The adopting of a Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance implementing the Comprehensive Guide Plan that places the adjacent lands to the Vo-Tech School site as two (2) acre minimum lot size rural residential land use for on site sewer systems for at least the next 25 year period. 4.The adopting of a Surface Water Management Plan developed in conjunction with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Board of Governors. r fi * i r f \ ,I
