, �v OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 5673 slopes, lot size, shape and layout. Orono requires that each new home site have the capability for two 5 -bedroom capacity ISTS systems meeting all current codes. This requirement was not in effect at the time the Myrtlewood area was developed. Most of the Myrtlewood homes with newer replacement septic systems have already used any alternate site that may have been available, and do not have the possibility of an alternate site for future use. Of the 6 homeowners that have a 2010 deadline in which to update their older nonconforming systems, a majority will find it difficult (and in some cases impossible) to find a suitable replacement location, much less a future alternate site; and WHEREAS, in light of the above noted facts the Orono Planning Commission pursuant to published and written notice to the affected and surrounding property owners held a public hearing on February 22, 2005 and on a vote of 5-0 recommended that the Myrtlewood neighborhood be added to the MUSA; and WHEREAS, the Orono City Council on February 28, 2005 voted 5-0 to conditionally approve an amendment of the 2000-2020 Community Management Plan (CMP) to include the Myrtlewood neighborhood in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area subject to Metropolitan Council review and approval, and directed City staff to prepare such an amendment and submit it to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval; and WHEREAS, on May 19, 2005 documentation for the proposed amendment was submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval, and written notice was sent to neighboring cities and other potentially affected governmental jurisdictions, requesting written comment; and WHEREAS, additional supportive information was submitted to the Metropolitan Council on June 18, 2007; and WHEREAS, on September 13, 2U07 the Metropolitan Council indicated to the City via letter that the 2000-2020 CMP Amendment 45 - Myrtlewood Area MUSA is in conformance with regional system plans for transportation and parks, is consistent with the 2030 Regional Development Framework and Council policies, and is compatible with the plans of adjacent jurisdictions. The letter indicated that the City may place the amendment into effect with no modifications, subject to the condition that Orono is required to participate in the Met Council's plat monitoring program and to submit annual reports; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Orono hereby amends the 2000-2020 City of Orono Community Management Plan Part 4C, Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan (CBPP) by incorporating into the MUSA the Myrtlewood Page 2 of 3
