Incorporate best management practices for stormwater management and natural <br />resources conservation and restoration in planning processes. <br />4. Plan for local infrastructure needs including those needed to support future growth. <br /> <br />There is also a growing need within the City of Orono to provide a broader range of housing <br />choices for empty-nesters and seniors whose lifestyles better match the amenities of attached <br />or multi-family housing. Orono’s aging population is retiring and on f ixed incomes, creating a <br />need for alternative senior housing accommodations. <br /> <br />According to the 2000 U.S. Census and Hennepin County Records, approximately 56% of the <br />housing stock is more than 50 years old (Table 2), which raises some concerns about its <br />continued functionality if maintenance is deferred. <br /> <br />Table 2 <br /> <br />Our intention with this development is to address the City’s concerns for providing a necessary <br />supply of housing for an ageing population while also undertaking vital environmental clean -up <br />and restoration of the site. <br />243
