' � r Page 39 <br /> Orono ' s existing and proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan and <br /> proposed Comprehensive Sewer Plan dated April 1 , 1977 . <br /> � 3 . All lands within the City of Orono within the rural <br /> service area as shown thereon , which are all lands outside of ' <br /> the MUSA, MSSR and Interceptor Sewer Service Area lines , as <br /> shown on Exhibit A, will not be sewered at any time in the <br /> future. These lands are to be zoned and regulated so that <br /> they will be adeguately and more economically served by private <br /> on-site septic systems . <br /> 4 . These restrictions and the additional restrictions <br /> as set forth in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan , proposed <br /> Comprehensive Sewer Plan and the Zoning Code and amendments <br /> thereto in order to implement those plans , are necessary in <br /> part for the following reasons : <br /> A. The entire City of Orono lies within the watershed <br /> of Lake Minnetonka. <br /> B . Lake Minnetonka is totally dependent upon the sur- <br /> face water runoff from its watershed for replenishment and - <br /> the water quality of Lake Minnetonka is directly related to <br /> the guality of surface water runoff within the watershed . � <br /> � <br /> C . The quality of surface water runoff is adversely � <br /> affected by any increase in the land use density and the � <br /> resulting impervious hard cover which limits the natural <br /> purification process and which limits the removal of nutri- <br /> ents from the surface water runoff, which nutrients pollute <br /> Lake biinnetonka , the surface water recharge areas and the <br /> other surface waters in the city. Moreover, in order to pay - i <br /> for the extension of such expensive public sewer, a much <br /> greater density of land use development would be necessitated, <br /> which increase in land use density would result in the <br /> above noted adverse affects on the quality of the surface <br /> water runoff . These adverse effects on the quality of the <br /> surface water runoff are documented at length in the Orono � <br /> Comprehensive Land Use Plan approved by the Metropolitan � ' <br /> .C�u��il on laTo�emb�r 7, 1974, ar��3 ado�te�d b� the tit� of � <br /> Oror�o on December 2 , 1974 , the Comprehensive Sewer Plan as <br /> adopted in October, 1977 , and the exhibits and reports incor- <br /> porated therein by reference. <br /> 5 . The city has for years , along with other agencies , <br /> recognized the problems of dense development and the concomi- <br /> tant adverse affects on the quality of the surface water run- <br /> off in this sort of watershed and has therefore implemented <br /> a comprehensive regulatory program of two and five acre <br /> ( <br /> -2- <br />
