� • . <br /> � CONFERENCE MINUTES OF DECEMBER 4, 1975 Page 4 <br /> � Dougherty stated that the MWCC is building this <br /> interceptor only to eliminate the effluent that <br /> � is presently being discharged into Lake Minnetonka <br /> � indirectly from the two existing sewage treatment <br /> plants. <br /> � Bruce Malkerson noted that the easements purport <br /> � to grant hookups and that such a purported grant <br /> will cause problems for the City in the future. <br /> � Moreover, the MWCC should come in and condemn <br /> these properties outright and eliminate even <br /> � the purported rights to hookup. P2oreover, in <br /> • the instance of one or two properties which <br /> purportedly have the right to hookup to <br /> � the system because of disruption to their private <br /> onsite systems, the MWCC should inform those <br /> � owners that the cannot hookup and that the MWCC <br /> will pay for the necessary repairs to their <br /> � onsite septic systems. <br /> � Van Nest noted that if Gregory who owns property <br /> i along the proposed interceptor, decides he wants <br /> to rezone his property from two acres to one- <br /> � half acre lots, he will say that he has sewer <br /> available since he has an agreement with the <br /> � MWCC and should be allowed to rezone. <br /> � Bruce Malkerson reviewed the possible adverse <br /> � legal consequences of the purported grants of <br /> hookup rights by the MWCC in the easements and <br /> • because of the antiquated language and incorrect <br /> language of the environmental assessment. <br /> � Van Nest noted that the Met Council might say <br /> � that because the tube is in the ground, we are <br /> now an urban service area and that is a strike <br /> • against us. A second strike against us is the <br /> fact that the interceptor is two and one-half <br /> � times of the population projections for the City <br /> � of Orono. Over our objections, the Metropolitan <br /> Council has placed Orono in an urban service <br /> � district and we want hash marks placed on this <br /> proposed interceptor noting that it is not to be <br /> � used for local development. 6ae have just <br /> completed our Comprehensive Land Use Plan and <br /> � the Zoning Ordinance related thereto, and this <br /> proposed interceptor could negate those accomplish- <br /> � ments. <br /> � Massengale noted that Orono has undergone an <br /> ! extensive review of its land use policies in the <br /> last four years which have resulted in the adoption <br /> � of a Comprehensive Land Use Plan in the fall of <br /> � 1974, and a Zoning Ordinance effectuating t�at <br /> dated January 1, 1975. These zoning changes were <br /> necessary in order to protect the health, safety <br /> � and welfare of the citizens of Orono and to preserve <br /> � Lake Minnetonka and the watershed district from <br /> • <br />
