It addresses the questions you raised in your letters to me, John Boland, and Rarl Burandt dated February 6, 16 and 17. In regard first to the revised Metropolitan Urban Service Area map you included with your letters, Council staff estimates that the proposal would add about 600 acres of land in Orono to the existing area of service. The area on the map is adequate in size and location for p?.anr.ed urban det�elop�-�ent to 1990, insofar as staff is concerned. This opinion rests on several major assumptions, however. It assumes that the map establishes the proposed 1990 area of service and that local services will be staged within it by fivE-year increnents. It also asusmes that other aspects � _ _ of the City's comprehensive plan prepared pursuant to the �ietropolitan I�and Plan- ning Act will be consistent with Council policy and plans. Three of the more " - ; ' important plan aspects are policies and implenentation measures for maintaining the rural character of the rural service area, an ordinance governing on-site , sewers, and plan compatibility with adjacent local governments. Another assump- tion is that other IIunicipalities in the sane sector as Orono will propose com- prehensive plans so that the cu�nul.ative amount of urban and rural service areas will be in scale with forecast growth for the sector as a whole. Preliminary indications from other municipalities in the sector, plus consideration of Orono's proposed 1990 MUSA, indicate this probably will not be a problem. It is impossible to say with absolute certainty at this time k�hether all of these assumptions are correct because adequate info «,ation from comprehensive plans will not be available until local governrents have fulfilled the terms of the Land Planning Act. In regard to sewers, the 1990 sewer flow estir�ate recently sent to Orono was calculated as folloks. A sewered population of 6900 people in 1990 �enerating 83 gallons per person per day was assu�,ied. This results in .57 million gallons � � An Agency Created to Coordinate the Planning and Deve]opment of the '3'.�•in Citi�-s Metropolitan Area Comprising: Anoka County O Carver County O Dakota County O Hennepin County O Ramsep County O Scott County O VVashington County
