Draft Work Plan for the Update of the City's Comprehensive Plan <br />September 17, 1998 <br />Page 5 <br />a.The sewer capacity needed will be based on the types of land uses <br />planned in the Highway 12 area. (See 1. Land Use) <br />B.Sewer policy issues, fhe City has received approval from the Metropolitan Council <br />to extend sewer to "urban clusters" within the rural area, and the City is moving fairly <br />rapidly to accomplish this. The City has received requests froiu neighborhoods with <br />2 acre density and non-conforming septic systems that arc adjacent or in close <br />proximity to a sewer line for sewer versus replacing septic systems. <br />1.Should the City extend sewer to existing rural subdivisions (with non- <br />conforming septic systems) that are adjacent to sewer? <br />2.Should the City allow the extension of sewer to new subdivisions that are in <br />close proximity to sewer? <br />3.Several Orono residents with properties in Orono's rural area that are adjacent <br />either to the city of Long Lake or the city of Plymouth have proposed <br />obtaining sewer service from the adjacent city. Staff has indicated this would <br />be contrary to City policy. <br />4. The City needs to ensure it can maintain control of density once sewer is <br />made available. <br />IV. Transportation. <br />A. East/west through traffic - Highway 12. <br />1.The proposed Highway 12 upgrade addresses a number of transportation <br />issues. <br />a.The transportation element of the current Comprehensive Plan <br />focuses on pulling traffic away from County Road 15 to McCulley <br />Road and Highway 12. The proposed upgrade of Highway 12 <br />accomplishes this goal. <br />b.The County Road 6 overpass at Highway 12 improves east/west <br />traffic flow on the north side of the City. <br />c.The proposed new Highway 12 addresses the main east/west traffic <br />flow problem. <br />4
