1. 3. Inclusion of the property at 1940 Shoreline Drive in the MUSA boundary is necessary before said property can be allowed to connect to the municipal sewer. Said property is located on the lakcshore ot Liike Minnetonka and contains a single family residence with a failing septic system. Said property is approximately 2.2 acres in area and includes wetlands, and therefore is not further subdividable under the lot rei}uirements ot the LR-IA Zoning District. A municipal sewer laterr.l exists approximately 20* from the property, requiring no extension of the municipal sewer. The connection charge, SAC charge, and connection costs to be borne by the property owner approximate the costs of replacing the existing failing system with a fully conforming septic system. Allowing the property to connect to municipal sewer will not be in conflict with the goals and policies of the Orono Community Management Plan, in that no extension of municipal sewer is required, no new high density development will (Kcur as a result of the MUSA boundarv' expansion, and Uike Minnetonka will be further protected by the elimination of a failing septic system located on a lakcshore lot. An additional 1.5 acre area adjacent to the property at 1940 Shoreline Drive which includes railroad right-of-way, undeveloped City road right-of-way, and a portion of privately owned wetland, and which is proposed for inclusion in the MUSA, is included solely for the purpose of ease of mapping, and will not result in further development. Inclusion of the Orono Sewer Plant property within the MUSA is necessary for the development of said property into as many as two 2 acre building sites, because said property has been disturbed through its previous use as a Public Works* materials storage site and therefore cannot sustain the necessary septic systems to serve two single family residences. Further, said property is adjacent to a gravity sewer trunk which discharges to MWCC Lilt Station No. 59, and which therefore can connect to the sewer system without the need for extension of ,he municipal sewer system. Said property is kKated on the lakcshore of l-fcnch I^ke which is designated as natural environment by the Minnesota Department t)l Natural Resources, and therefore requires special protection including sewage system and construction setbacks of 150’ from the OIIW of the lake, further restricting use of the site for development with on-site sewage treatment systems Ihe propeny contains in e.xcess of 4 acres and can therefore Paae 2 of 5
