Page 66. Management Objectives - A number of issues are <br />addressed including getting communities to adopt storm water <br />management plans plus any shoreline regulation related to <br />environmental protection such as not exceeding 25% of the lot <br />area for hardcover. This will become an issue as to what <br />constitutes hardcover together with the fact that Orono has <br />specified zones for 0/25/30/35% depending on the distance from <br />the lake. Generally Orono*s regulations on a lot would be more <br />restrictive but there may be exceptions in particular cases. <br />Additional recommendations deal with restricting use for <br />fertilizer and pescicides by homeowners particularly lakeshore <br />homeowners and this will be an area of some controversy but <br />perhaps an appropriate educational program may positively promote <br />elimination of such substances that are of concern. <br />Page 68. The City questions the need for the Watershed District <br />to include the additional types of wetlands, if they are <br />satisfactorily governed under City ordinance. (The area of <br />designated wetlands have become a "hot" issue not only on the <br />local but national basis.) <br />IV. MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE <br />Page 72. Management Areas - The conclusion based on a reading of <br />the Legislative history leads the writer of LMCD's plan to <br />conclude that lake management is not to be conducted by one <br />implementing agency. That does not necessarily mean that the <br />Legislature intended it that way. It may only represent the way <br />that it has occurred with various agencies being requested by and <br />given to different authorities by the Legislature to handle <br />specific categories of situations. <br />Page 76. Management Objectives - The creation of the special <br />taxing jurisdiction. In addition to issues noted in the Lake <br />Management Governance Structure addendum the plan recommends LMCD <br />gain the authority to assess the project costs. It is felt that <br />it would be better to have a cooperative agreement with the <br />Cities to actually impose these costs. <br />page 77. This discusses a two tiered property tax levy for LMCD. <br />This could result in upwards of Z mills for people in Orono <br />regardless of whether they are o.# 1 ake or not. This would be <br />approximately 10 times the current le^«> of levy for LM(3}. <br />■ I
