CITY OF ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - PUBLIC NEARING <br />HIGHWAY 12 CORRIDOR STUDY/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT <br />4. Public service - ability to pay for needed improvements, and pay <br />for the increased service demand. This was not just development of a <br />tax base for the overall economic development of the community. <br />The following alternatives were presente+: <br />1. To leave the entire area as it is; <br />2. Look at means to develop on -site septic uses, apart from single <br />family uses. <br />3. Allow for development thzt would go beyond the existing capacity <br />of systems, primarily transportation and utility. <br />4. To develop gererally within the existing systems. <br />The recommended alternative incorporated by the comprehensive <br />plan amendment to some degree represents all four of the above <br />alternatives. <br />In the inventory and analysis, the three primary areas of concern <br />were: <br />1. Existing Zoning and Land Use - both in Orono and Long Lake <br />2. Transportation - volume, flow, and safety <br />3. Luility - sewer (current allotted capacity of 116 units) <br />An,_ther concern addressed in the study and comprehensive <br />amendment is :'�e means by which the City intends to undertake the change <br />which is being ,reposed. It is principally going to be done by the use of <br />toning performance standards, divided into two general areas: <br />1. Set of standards required to be met in order to achieve the <br />desired zoning classification for the development. <br />2. Once achieved, the standards for that district would then have to <br />be met. <br />Isaues Metropolitan ::ouncil wants addressed in the comprehensive plan <br />amendment: <br />a) Sewer - need for installation of the 1,000 GPM pump at the Long <br />Lake Lift Station. <br />h) Transport,, ion - frontage roads and signalization. <br />c) Parks - no negativ, impact and will provide 1,etter local access to <br />Baker Park and the Lure Line. <br />d) Airport - Orono ir, in tho- st-uthcrn fringe of the western Hennepin <br />search area !or an airport, but the aria under consideration in Orono <br />is thouqht t, Le• too !.m,ll I in ar,., for fari l it ies and huffering. <br />2 <br />
