• object to and take the appropriate actions to delay the con- struction of the Orono Interceptor until such time as the Systems Statement more accurately reflects the criteria set forth herein, but such actions by the City of Orono would be inconsistent with the City's long -stated desire to cooperate with the Metropolitan Council and Metropolitan Waste Control Commission in developing land use plans which are consistent with all agencies and which will insure that the interceptor could be constructed to remove the points of pollution without having the construction of the interceptor adversely affect the environment of the area, the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Orono, and which plans will insure that the presence of the interceptor would not mandate a location of the future MUSA, MSSR and Interceptor Sewer Service Area lines which would include areas of the City of Orono which should be in the General Rural Use Region of the Rural Service area for the City of Orono as shown on Exhibit A. • 4. Based upon the assurances of the staff of the Metropolitan Council that the above objectives will be accom- plished as soon as the necessary redrafting of documents can be accomplished, and for the reasons set forth above, the City of Orono will not appeal the Systems Statement and will grant to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission the necessary building permits, conditional use permits and variances from the Zoning Code of the City of Orono to allow for the construc- tion of the Orono -Long Lake Interceptor, conditioned upon the following: A. The City of Orono is included in all preconstruc- tion meetings. B. The City of Orono must first approve any changes in the construction methods or pipe location which changes could or may tend to adversely affect the environment and land use in the City of Orono. C. The City of Orono shall stop the construction of the pipe if the construction is in violation of the permits issued, the ordinances of the City of Orono, the ordinances and regulations of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Lake Minnehaha Conservation District, Department of Natural Resources or any other agency having jurisdiction over the construction of the pipe. 5. Attached to this resolution as Exhibit C and incor- porated by reference, are copies of some of the documents upon which the policies and statements set forth in this resolution are based. -7-
