Mr. Schwankc stated that of the 171 acres, 141 acres were already receiving sanitary <br />sewer service and the city was acknowledging this by including the area in the Metropolitan Urban <br />Service Area. The remaining 30 acres is vacant, developable land that will eventually be subdivided <br />for single family development. <br />Mr. Wellington stated that he opposed the plan amendment because it involved expanding the <br />Metropolitan Urban Service Area while the city has not fully addressed problems associated with <br />infiltration and inflow. The city’s rural service area policies are also inconsi'-tent with the Council ’s <br />rural service area policies, though the city has met performance criteria associated with the Council ’s <br />rural service area policy. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />That the Metropolitan Council: <br />1. Adopt the findings and the staff report as part of these recommendations. <br />2.Inform the city of Orono that it may adopt me amendment and no plan modification is <br />required.
