MINUTES OF PUBLIC HEARING HELD DECEMBER 18 , 1974 . Page 2 <br /> Reports such as the Harza Study and the S�ormwatez <br /> ' Management �lan, among othezs, have been �mpoxtant <br /> �in guiding our community in the specifics necessary <br /> to protect the Lake and water supply from pollution. <br /> Orono ' s Comprehensive plan began almost three years <br /> ago, and reflects among other things the input from <br /> seminars which many of you attended. After much <br /> work by many of our citizens , it was presented at <br /> a public hearing in this room on August 15, and <br /> thereafter was approved by the Metropolitan <br /> Council as required by law, with certain minor <br /> modifications on November 7 , 1974 . <br /> Our Council approved the Plan on December 2 , 1974 . <br /> To place them in proper perspective, I should <br /> point out that whereas the Plan is a long range <br /> � document (25 years span) the Zoning Ordinances <br /> which we consider tonight are designed for right <br /> now and the immediate future. They can and, of <br /> sourse, will be amended as time and conditions <br /> indicate. <br /> Some of you were present in this building last <br /> March 13 and June when a preliminary public hearing was <br /> held on most of this amendment to the Zoning <br /> ' Code. Your input on that occasion was most <br /> valuable and has been of great value to us in <br /> �preparing and modifying that �proposed amend- <br /> ment and the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> ` At that time, the possible zoning changes were <br /> discussed in order to assist in the final de- <br /> � velopment of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Brad Van Nest, past Chairman of the Planning OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED <br /> Commission, �ave a summary of the report and BOUNDARY CHANGES <br /> - explained the new zoning in Rural, Lakeshore PURSUANT TO COMPREHENSIVE <br /> and Commercial zones. Large maps had been PLAN <br /> placed on the wall for review and inspection <br /> of the proposed use district boundaries . <br /> On the rural residential map, the RR-lA area FIVE ACRE LOTS <br /> presently zoned one acre (colored green on <br /> S the map) shall be zoned for five acre lots. <br /> The rezoning of this area would allow for the <br /> continuation of lifestyle already present in <br /> the area. Most importantly, the area is not <br /> sewered and the Metropolitan Council does not <br /> plan to extend sewer service to that area. The <br /> Metropolitan Council and the Pollution Control <br /> Agency recommend that areas without sewer <br /> should be zoned for five acre lots. <br /> Brad Van Nest then briefly described the area T��O ACRE LOTS <br /> (colored yellow on the map) which will be re- <br /> zoned to two acre lots . He noted that muni- <br /> cipal sewer will not be provided in that area <br />
