Minnesota Land Cover Classification Svstem (vILCCS) - The Minnesota Land Cover <br /> Classification System (MLCCS) displays data on natural/semi-natural and cultural cover <br /> types at the hiahest level of classification. The next four levels of classification each <br /> reveal further specifications such as plant types, soil hydrology, impervious surfaces and <br /> plant species. Using VILCCS data is the first step in producin� a natural resource <br /> inventory of a development site. <br /> Orono Natural Resource �,��� �«—� Inventorv - an element of the Orono <br /> Community Vlanagement Plan that displays the ecological connections within and <br /> beyond the City of Orono. <br /> Corridor Enclosure - The nature, appearance and relative degrees of screening provided <br /> by roadside veDetation. Corridor enclosure types include: <br /> Open Enclosure Long views beyond the right-of-way, no real sense of <br /> corridor enclosure. <br /> Edaed Enclosure Solid wall of vegetation along roadside, views focused <br /> along corridor. <br /> Tunneled Enclosure Vegetation begins to completely enclose roadway, above <br /> and sides, creating a"small scale" road�vay experience. <br /> Varied Enclosure Enclosure changes rapidly along corridor, short stretches of <br /> open, edged, and tunneled corridor. <br /> View Analysis - The process of determining whether a view is positive or negative.� <br /> Positive Views Views of natural areas, water bodies, established parks, <br /> wetlands, rural and historic land uses. <br /> Ne�ative Views Views of structures, particularly residential, institutional, <br /> and commercial and industrial uses. Views of power lines, <br /> telephone poles and other utility infrastructure. <br /> Landmark Preservation and Enhancement - Preserving and maintaining distinct cultural <br /> features, landmarks and unique points of local character, <br /> both natural and man-made, to maintain a familiar sense of <br /> place in the community. <br /> Ecoloaical Qualitv Levels - <br /> Level A Ecological "off-limits" areas, including wetlands and required <br /> buffers, historic drainage <br /> Level B Ecological opportunities, includina existing degraded <br /> drainageways and existing degraded ecosystem remnants <br /> Level C Ecological possibilities: Areas suitable for stormwater treatment <br /> Page2of7 <br />
