D'uect individual property access to arterials is regulated in the Orono Municipal Code by requiring development of local streets or private roads to serve new residential developments of 3 or more units; by limiting the number of curb cuts per residence; by prohibiting direct access to principal arterial's; and by a number of other regulations involving the location, type and number of access points to the arterial roadway system. It is the City's policy that new dire;,t access to arterials is to be minimi�ed to the greatest extent possible. However, many of southem Orono's arterials near the Lake Minnetonka shoreline have historically served a dual function as both arterials and as locaUcollector streets, due to geographic and topographic limitations. Minimization or consolidation of existing driveway and local street access points along these unique roadways is a complex matter which will often require the cooperation of mulfiple property owners. The City will encourage the use of shared driveways along existin? developed arterials wherever feasible. Further, the City will continue to inve;tigate the feasibility of closing existing direct local street access points to principal and m.inor arterials where suitabie_altemative access points may be established.
