The Citv Ensineer’s preliminary cost estimate to serve your two neighborhoods with sewer is <br />S421,5(X) fo^North Long Lake (about $13,600 per dwelling unit) and $411,700 for Long Uke <br />Country Club (about $19,600 per dwelling unit). <br />Because the City is not in a position to assist in the costs to serve all 10 identified <br />neighborhoods, a priority has been assigned to each neighborhood. Priority is based on the <br />magnimde of existing problems, the number of systems which will likely have to be replaced, <br />as well as the technical feasibility of replacing systems when required. <br />North Long Lake and Long Lake Country Club have been rated as the City’s highest priority <br />neighborhoods for sewer installation. A joint sewer project may be the most cost-effective way <br />to irve both neighborhoods. Because of the high priority, some City financial participation is <br />anticipated to help in defraying the project costs. <br />How Does Sewer Fit Into Orono ’s Overall ’’Comprehensive Plan ”? <br />All 10 identified neighborhoods are within Orono’s designated "rural" (unsewered) area. <br />However, these neigh^rhoods are each somewhat unique, having relatively small lot sizes or <br />being adjacent to ^lake. And each neighborhood was developed prior to the 1975 zomng <br />changes which required a 2-acre minimum for rural lots, to accommodate septic systems. <br />The City is currently working with the Metropolitan Council to obtain approval for extending <br />municipal sewer to all 10 neighborhoods, which requires amendment of the Comprehensive Plan <br />and MUSA (Metropolitan Urban i-rvice Area) boundary. <br />Please come to the public information meeting on Wednesday, July 12th. Results ^the smdy <br />as it relates to your neighborhoods will be presented, and City representatives will be availab <br />to answer questions. You are invited and encouraged to attend. We want to hear your views <br />regarding the possible installation of municipal sewer m your neighborhood. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Asst. Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />Mike Gaffron at 473-7357. <br />Enc. - Area Map
