CITY OP ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - PUBLIC HEARING <br />HIGHWAY 12 CORRIDOR STUDY/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT <br />4. Public service - ability to pay for needed improvements, and pay <br />for the increased service demand. This was not just development of a <br />tax base for the overall economic development of the community. <br />The following alternatives were presented: <br />1. To leave the entire area as it is; <br />2. Look at means to develop on-site septic uses, apart from single <br />family uses. <br />3. Allow for development that would go beyond the existing capacity <br />of systems, primarily transportation and utility. <br />4. To develop generally within the existing systems. <br />The recommended alternative incorporated by the comprehensive <br />plan amendment to some degree represents all four of the above <br />a'?, t-r natives. <br />were: <br />In the inventory and analysis, the three primary areas of concern <br />1, Existing Zoning and Land Use - both in Orono and Long Lake <br />2. Transportation - volume, flow, and safety <br />3. Utility - sewer (current allotted capacity of 116 units) <br />Another concern addressed in the study and comprehensi^^^e <br />amendment is the means by v/hich the City intends to undertake the change <br />which is being proposed. It is principally going to be done by the use of <br />zoning performance standards, divided into two general areas: <br />1. Set of standards required to be met in order to achieve the <br />desired zoning classification for the development. <br />2. Once achieved, the standards for that district would then have to <br />be met. <br />Issues Metropolitan Council wants addressed in the comprehensive plan <br />amendment: <br />a) Sewer - need for installation of the 1,000 GPM pump at the Long <br />Lake Lift Station. <br />b) Transportation - frontage roads and signalization. <br />c) Parks - no negative impact and will provide better local access to <br />Baker Park and the Luce Line. <br />d) Airport - Orono is in the southern fringe of the western Hennepin <br />search area for an airport, but the area under consideration in Orono <br />is thought to be too small an area for facilities and buffering. <br />4 <br />i
