f*'- ■ <br />Existing reserve capacities are expected to gradually <br />decrease as growth continues to occur in three categories; <br />1. Increased flow from existing users. <br />2. Infill urban development <br />3. New urban development, including commercial and multiple <br />family residential development in the Highway 12 corridor. <br />Additionally, the 1980 Comprehensive Plan provided a <br />framework for identifying and resolving existing sewage treatment <br />problems in pre-existing rural housing clusters. Five clusters <br />identified in the 1980 Comprehensive Plan were the subject of <br />Alternative Waste Management Studies i;. the period 1980 to 1990, <br />resulting in four of the five clusters being served with <br />municipal sewer laterals discharging to existing MWCC <br />interceptors . <br />Based on a 1979 study conducted as part of the on-site <br />inspection program, municipal sewers were recommended for the <br />Minnetonka Bluffs - West Ferndale (Brown's Bay) area as well as <br />the North Shore Drive/Scotch Pine area. Completion of those <br />lateral systems occurred in I'^Ol. <br />As a result of an Alternative Waste Management Study <br />completed for the Crystal Bay neighborhood of Orono in 1985, <br />municipal sewer installation was recommended for approximately 85 <br />existing residences on small lots. Municipal sewer laterals and <br />an injector station were completed to serve these properties in <br />1986. <br />The fifth of f_.e areas to be considered for alternative <br />waste management options was the Stubbs Bay area. The study <br />completed in February 1988 recommended that approximately 80 <br />existing residences on substandard lets and an addicional 10 to <br />15 vacant substandard lots in single separate ownership be <br />provided with municipal sewers. <br />A number of public information meetings have been held with <br />the affected Stubbs Bay property owners to discuss the need for <br />and costs of this project. However, the City Council has not yet <br />ordered installation of municipal sewers for the Stubbs Bay are <br />due to the high costs involved relative to the property values in <br />the srea.
