E.,XHIBIT A <br />ADDENDUM TO METROPOLITAN COUNCIL APPLICATION <br />FOR COMPREHENSIVE. PLAN AMENDMENT — CITY OF ORONO <br />The enclosed applic•atio., for a plan amendment is the first amendment <br />of the City of Orono's Comprehensive Management Plan approved by the <br />Metropolitan Council in 1980. <br />The amendment seeks to redefine specific areas in the City served with <br />sewer since the 1980 survey and as in one case (Area 14, see Exhibit E), <br />proposes connection to the Maple Plain interceptor to serve an existing <br />commercial kennel bu:;iness and the owner's residence. On December 8, 1986, <br />the Orono Council approved the owner's petition for sewer based on the <br />following findings: <br />1. The subject property presents a unique sit.uaticn and IS not <br />typical of the surrounding large acres lots. <br />2. The subject property is surrounded by railroad, roadways and an <br />extensive wetlands area. <br />3. The M.W.C.C. in 1985 installed an interceptor line that <br />intersected the subject property which placed additional limitations <br />on the only available land for septic expansion. <br />4. The request <br />to sewer is not found to be <br />contrary to <br />the intent and <br />purpose of the <br />City's Comprehensive Management Plan <br />as Orono has <br />approved sewer <br />for other severely limited <br />areas within <br />defined rural. <br />areas based on criteria set forth in <br />the City's <br />Comprehensive <br />Management Plan <br />- CMP 6-44 (see attached) as follows: <br />A) _Alteration of the water consumption habits of the users, <br />coupled with careful systei,, maintenance,_ <br />It is not feasible nor practical for applicants to alter water <br />use in the kennel operation. <br />P) F.e weir or reconstruction of individual systems. <br />C) RePlacement_of existing systems with new individual systems <br />constructed to new_City (WP("-40) standards. �a <br />Thc' applicant's on -site evalui tar, Steve Schirmers, and the <br />City's on -site septic maiager confirm that the existing system <br />cannot he expanded nor a new syst ern installed that would meet all <br />standard^ nor with any z ssurance that such a syster^ would provide <br />( ont inuous se.rvire ir: thr, future. <br />D) InstaI lat ion of inno•,ativee or,-<_:iter systems including <br />considetation cif C-()ryipc) stin(I et in'ino, r:•tinq de'.'ices. <br />Thf-, ity hag; v­t to find t1iis ,l teal aitE"n;ltive.
