• ` Clt� of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL � NO. �a'�l� • - • • d) The Summit Station area on Old Long Lake Road North of the City of Wayzata is indicated on Maps 12 & 13 much larger than it really is. This area is a planned residential development of 6 lots, only 2 of which are developed. The area is totally surrounded by the extensive Wayzata Country Club golf course. Except for the open greens, these homes essentially abut the Country Club facilities which are within the City of Wayzata MUSA area. Sewer was extended to this area in 1977 via a private line conn�cting to City of Wayzata mains, specifically for purposes of developing the land to urban density. The urbanization decision was a conscious one. Under Orono ' s 1980 CMP, such urban expansion would not be approvable without a comprehensive plan amendment, including Metro � Council approval . In preparing the CMP, Orono had to account for the existing urban character and development potential. The MU:�A.� line could have been gerrymandered to be continuous, but that would have been prone to misinterpretation. The City did not want to leave the impression that sewer or other services were available to allow future urban development of the extensive golf course land in Orono. Again, sewer would not have been extended to this area under Orono' s current planning policies, but the existing service and lot density had to be addressed. 6. Designating Area #2 as urban just because sewer was availabl.e would have been inconsistent with Orono ' s policies f.or ,.urban expansion, for land use density and for rural services . C. Water Quality Management Policy Plan Policy 7 is clear as far as providing interceptor capacity for rural lands is concerned. Orono fully agrees with and wholeheartly sup- ports this policy. However, Orono feels that Policy 7 must also be viewed in consideration of the Rural Service Area statements and policies expressed on the very next page of the WQMPP. • 9 0£ 12
