Representing Staff were Community Development Director Jeremy Barnhart, City Planners Melanie Curtis and Laura Oakden,and Recorder Jackie Young. Mayor Dennis Walsh was present. Chair Thiesse called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1. APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 17,2018 Libby moved,Lemke seconded,to approve the minutes of the Orono Planning Commission meeting of September 17,2018,as submitted. VOTE: Ayes 7,Nays 0. NEW BUSINESS 2. LA18-000081 BRIAN HAAS ON BEHALF OF JEFFERY GOSSEN,4260 SIXTH AVENUE NORTH,VARIANCES,6:31 P.M.—6:38 P.M. Jeffrey Gossen,Applicant; and Justin Hultman, Contractor,were present. Oakden stated the applicant is requesting east and west side yard setback variances to allow for a home addition to the existing structure. The detached garage west of the existing home is proposed to be removed from the site. The applicant proposes an attached garage in its place. The current detached garage sits roughly 38 feet from the west side property line. The new home addition and attached garage is proposed to sit 37 feet from the west side of the property. The applicant is also proposing a covered deck off the rear of the home. The deck addition is shown to encroach in the east side yard setback. The current home sits 32 feet from the east side property line. The covered deck addition is proposed to sit 42 feet from the east side property line. The property is nonconforming in width and size. Staff finds there are practical difficulties inherent to the property due to the nonconforming lot being less than half the required width. This creates a challenging building envelope in the RR-1A zoning district. Pertaining to the east side proposed encroachment,the applicant is not asking to be closer than the principal structure in this side yard. The addition will be in the rear of the home that will not alter the current side yard. The Planning Commission should discuss the proposed practical difficulties. If the Commission agrees with the findings, Staff would recommend a motion recommending approval for the proposed variances. Oakden displayed an aerial photograph of the area showing the detached garage,the existing house, and the neighboring properties. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. Jeff Gossen,Applicant, stated he is here to answer questions. Thiesse asked how deep the new garage will be. Justin Hultman, Contractor, indicated the garage will be 28 feet in depth. Thiesse asked if there will be stairs on the end. Hultman stated there will be stairs on the inside. Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:36 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 6:36 p.m. Thiesse asked if anyone has any concerns with the proposal. Landgraver commented this is a bad lot and the applicants are trying to make the best out of a bad situation. Landgraver moved,Olson seconded,to recommend Approval of Application LA18-000081,Brian Haas on behalf of Jeffery Gossen,4260 Sixth Avenue,granting of east and west side yard setback variances. VOTE: Ayes 7,Nays 0. 3. LA18-000083 SCOTT ENGLAND ON BEHALF OF BARBARA LUPIENT,3220 AND 3200 WAYZATA BOULEVARD WEST,SKETCH PLAN,6:38 P.M.—8:22 P.M. Scott England,Applicant,was present. Barnhart noted this is a sketch plan review for a proposed development of a 288-unit apartment complex over two properties located on the south side of Lake Classen and on the north side of Wayzata Boulevard. Both parcels are zoned RR-1B and guided for rural residential. The parcels are not located within MUSA and therefore are not eligible for sanitary sewer services without an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Lake Classen is a Natural Environment Lake,which requires a 150-foot setback for all structures. The plans provided by the developer show four new apartment buildings, surface parking, a club house, gazebo,ponds and trails. Elevations for the buildings have not been completed,but the plans suggest three levels of apartments and underground parking. It is expected that three levels will likely exceed 30 feet. The four buildings are proposed to be built in two phases,with the western two structures being built first,followed by the eastern two structures. The City's Comprehensive Plan talks at length about Orono's rural character and protection of natural resources, noting the delineation of the urban and rural areas is fixed. This project would be the first expansion of the Defined Urban Area since at least 2008. The Planning Commission should determine if MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. the proposed location is appropriate for urban density. If so,the Commission should determine if the proposed plan provides an appropriate level of density, and if so,the higher density would be reflected in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The project as proposed will require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for both land use and an expansion of the MUSA boundary. For expansions of the MUSA boundary,the Metropolitan Council looks for three units per acre density,which this project would meet. Access to the site will be provided via two new entrances off of Wayzata Boulevard. It is expected that access will line up with the new road serving the Eisinger property to the south. Hennepin County will need to approve all accesses. The proposed parking shows 474 stalls, below the minimum required per ordinance. The applicants propose the number based on the number of bedrooms. Staff does not support the reduction of parking in this area without bus transportation or walkable services/employment. The Planning Commission should discuss the following issues: I. Does the Planning Commission support expansion of the MUSA boundary into the subject property? 2. Does the Planning Commission support expansion of urban densities into the subject property; and if so,at what density. 3. Does the Planning Commission support higher than 30 feet for buildings. 4. Does the Planning Commission support the modification of the zoning ordinance to facilitate the proposed development? The zoning ordinance states that no property within 250 feet of the OHW of a protected water is to be rezoned to RPUD. Lake Classen is a Protected Water. If the Planning Commission and City Council support the project, some modifications to the zoning ordinance will be necessary to either create a new district or modify an existing district. Barnhart noted he has not reviewed this sketch plan in any detail and that he is looking for direction on the issues outlined in Staff report. Landgraver stated his recollection of the density for this area is that these would be larger lakeshore lots, which is why it was zoned the way it is. Barnhart stated that is consistent with the density in the area with the exception of the park and the school. Landgraver noted on the south side there was a landfill. Landgraver asked if the City is aware of the history of the land and whether the hill is manmade. Barnhart indicated he does not know the history of the property but his understanding is the landfill was confined to the south side of the property. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Thiesse asked how the new Comprehensive Plan relates to this development. Barnhart stated the City is still governed by the 2030 Comprehensive Plan but that the City will be implementing a new Comprehensive Plan in the very near future. Predominantly the changes to land use and density in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan have occurred along Wayzata Boulevard. Included in those changes are a parcel to the east that has potential for development and the Eisinger Flats project to the south of this site, which introduces higher density into that area. Barnhart stated the Planning Commission could make the case for supporting higher density in this area due to those factors but that they could also make the case that each parcel stands on its own and that higher density may or may not make sense for this property. Barnhart stated the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee did not recommend any changes in density to this site. Barnhart stated changing the density for this site is a call the Planning Commission and the City Council should make. Thiesse asked how the City's overall density is doing. Barnhart indicated overall the City is doing pretty good. The most recent amendment was the Kelly Avenue apartment building next to the dentist office. The different letters on the chart identify areas of potential growth. Barnhart stated the key number the Metropolitan Council is concerned with is the overall density. When the Metropolitan Council considers a change to the Comprehensive Plan,they look for a minimum density of three units per acre. After the Kelly Avenue Parkway project,the City is at 3.298 units per acre. If the City did not have those projects,the City would be below the three units per acre. Barnhart indicated he has taken those figures and then added the Mogart property,which proposed development of a 10-acre parcel and expanding the MUSA to include that parcel. The City Council agreed with the Planning Commission's recommendation to expand the MUSA for that parcel at 4.5 units an acre. Also added was the Eisinger Flats project of 192 units,which was not included in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. With those two projects included,the City is at 3.82 units per acre. If neither of those projects are done, it would drop the City's overall density to 3.1 units per acre. With those projects included,the City's density buffer is above three units per acre and allows the City to have some flexibility to expand the MUSA boundary. If the Lake Classen project is not done,the City will still remain at 3.82 units. Landgraver asked what the projected growth in the area is. Barnhart indicated the Metropolitan Council does not mandate the City develop but they do mandate that the City provide the opportunity for development. The Metropolitan Council's projected growth in the Orono area is 541 households between now and 2030 and then another 330 households between 2030 and 2040. Barnhart stated the City is not opening up a lot of new growth areas but that they basically react to what people propose. In the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Staff has attempted to identify areas where growth is likely to happen. It is typical that quite a bit of the development occurs in the rural areas. Eisinger Meadows,Eisinger Flats have been included as new growth areas. If the Eisinger Flats project is not completed,the City would be at 3.4 units per acre but will be short on opportunities for growth. Erickson asked what the area of the site is. • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Barnhart indicated it is approximately 14 acres. Erickson asked if the density on this site would be comparable to what was discussed on Eisinger. Barnhart stated it is. Nick Walton, Contractor, stated he is the president of Reuter Walton and that they have completed a dozen projects together with this architect. Reuter Walton started in 1979 doing single-family custom homes in the metro area and in 2011 started doing multi-family housing. Walton stated they are proposing a project that in their opinion could be a really good use for the site and that they are open to hearing feedback and beginning a dialogue with the City. Scott England, DGR Architect, stated what they are proposing tonight as a concept plan consists of four apartment buildings with two accesses coming off of Wayzata Boulevard. There will be a variety of spaces in between the buildings for the residents' use as well as walking paths and a gazebo. The plan also depicts a clubhouse that is currently within the 150-foot setback,which will likely be moved to the west side of the property. Each of the buildings will have a variety of bedroom types ranging from studio to three-bedroom apartments. England indicated there will be underground and surface parking and that it is not their intent to come up short on parking. In addition,the 150-foot buffer around the lake will not be disturbed and the existing shed on the property will be removed. The buildings will have balconies on all the units and beautiful landscaped areas between and around the buildings. Thiesse asked if they are working with the topography of the land. England indicated he worked off an aerial and that there is a lot going on with the land. England indicated it will be challenging to some degree because there is a mound in the middle. Thiesse asked if the 150-foot setback will take them into the trees. England commented the site is actually quite wooded and there is a path that runs through the whole property as well as two houses and a shed on the site. Everything within the 150 feet setback is dense growth. Libby commented there are some very interesting designs provided in the examples. Libby asked what the projected height of the buildings is. England stated it is their desire to build three stories and ideally each of the stories would be 9 feet,which makes it challenging to keep it at the 30-foot height maximum. Attempts will be made to keep the height of the building down by putting it further into the ground and perhaps having a flat roof. Thiesse asked if they will be going with a foot and a half foot floor thickness. England stated it will probably be about a 16-inch floor depth,which comes to 10.6 for each floor. Landgraver asked if access to Lake Classen will be provided. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. England stated that is something he will have to work with the DNR on and that they would like to incorporate a boardwalk if possible. England stated they want to make sure it is an amenity the residents can use. Nick Walton stated the idea is to build a 3-story building and that they typically would do 9 to 11 feet for the first floor,which ends up being around a 2-foot floor;then 9 foot to ceiling on the second floor, a 2-foot floor; and then 9 feet, with three for the parapet. The shortest way to do a three-story building with 9-foot ceilings is 34 feet. If two feet are added to the first floor, it would be 36 feet, and on a pitched roof, it would end up at 39 feet. Thiesse asked if a two-story building would be viable. Walton indicated they were originally thinking four stories and lowered that to three. Walton stated they typically do not build two-story buildings except for residential. Thiesse stated in his view the 37 to 39 feet will be a struggle to get approved. Walton stated they will look at the height and that they would like to get the Planning Commission's feedback on a flat roof versus a pitched roof. Walton stated they are more drawn to a pitched roof. Barnhart stated most of the City's PUD developments require a pitched roof. Landgraver stated the residents in the area are used to looking at a natural area and that the height of the building will be a shock. While the site will be developed at some point, 39 feet on top of a hill might be asking too much, and that he would encourage them to be creative on the height. Landgraver noted both the Planning Commission and the City Council have drawn a pretty strong line on height. Lemke asked how many people would live within the 288 units. England indicated it will likely be 600-700 people. Walton noted the project would be phased in. Lemke asked if there is that much demand for rental property in this area. Walton stated in their view there is definitely demand for phase one but that they do not think there is demand for phase two at the present time. Lemke noted last month they looked at a project for 192 units,and then if you add this project in, it comes to around 15 percent of the population of Orono,which seems like a lot of people. Walton stated they have developed 26 different properties over the years and that they have always developed them because the demand was there. Olson asked what the rents will be. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Walton indicated it will be upper middle rents. The units will not be ultra-high-luxury but it is a beautiful setting and it will be on the water. Some of the bigger units will have higher finishes and higher rents. Walton stated two stories versus three stories will dramatically change the rents. Landgraver asked what kind of amenities will be available on site to the residents,especially since this is an isolated piece of land with a busy road running by. England stated there will be a playground,a clubhouse,a larger community room, and a swimming pool. Each of the buildings themselves will have some common areas, a smaller scaled party room,and an exercise facility. In addition,there will be a lot of space around the site that would be suited towards the different ages. Walton stated the more units they build,the more amenities they would be able to offer. Erickson asked how this relates to the County 112 turnback project and whether there will be new trails in the area. Barnhart stated to his understanding there have been some discussions about a potential trail but nothing has been finalized at this time. The access to the site and any trails will have to be coordinated with Hennepin County. Erickson stated years ago there was discussion about a trail that would connect to County Road 6 and he is not sure how far that discussion went. Libby stated on the last project the Planning Commission looked at,the architect proposed a certain price range, and that he was wondering whether they could do that here. Walton indicated two bedrooms are often 800 to 1,200 square feet and would range from $1,600 to $2,800. One bedroom typically ranges from 600 to 700 square foot range and are anywhere from$1,200 to$1,700 depending on the size. Walton stated those are the typical ranges and that they use$2 per square foot. Libby commented the demand is there for rental properties and that the City has to serve all the demands for housing types. Thiesse stated his biggest concern is that the 2040 Comprehensive Plan reflects this as lower density and was not proposed to be changed. Thiesse stated in his view this project looks huge and will be a major change, especially since anyone currently looking across Lake Classen sees nothing but green. Thiesse noted the City has had some discussions in the past about the view shed, and to him this seems large, especially at three stories. If the building has a pitched roof, it will be sticking way out of the ground. Libby stated for a sketch plan,this is fairly well detailed. Libby asked if it is feasible to bring the building down more into the ground without running into a problem with the water table. England indicated he was projecting that the lower level of the far right and left buildings would be at 986,which would be several feet above the water level. The buildings would be centered more on the mound in the middle of the site. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Walton stated they will look at two stories and they will come back with more data about the height of the trees. Walton commented he likes the idea of doing a cut in the ground to reduce the height but that they also have to worry about the trees and their roots. Thiesse stated based on the hardcover, it does not appear there will be a lot of trees saved. Ressler stated he is assuming that most of the area will be cleared to the lake. Walton stated they were not proposing to do anything with the 150-foot setback and that currently the 150-foot setback is dense. Everything in the middle would basically be cut but that they are not planning on cutting the perimeter. Ressler asked what the current residents will be looking at from the lake. Walton indicated they will need to study that and that they can perhaps take some drone aerial shots. England noted the growth is very dense and that there will not be a very clear view of the lake from the building but that they can do a site section cutting across the lake. Landgraver commented one thing that is helpful from a visual standpoint is do provide some elevations and to delineate the 150-foot setback. Thiesse asked if boats are allowed on the lake. Barnhart stated to his knowledge it is nonmotorized. Lemke stated in his view the applicants should adhere to the 30-foot height, and that his first reaction when he saw the sketch plan was that,holy crap, it's a lot of apartments. Lemke stated in his view it is a lot for the property. Thiesse stated the first time he looked at it,he also had that same reaction. Thiesse noted the property is still guided to be lower density and that it does not appear the City is looking for more density at this time. Walton asked if that is because they are considering 192 units across the street or because the Comprehensive Plan was not changed. Thiesse indicated it is both. Landgraver commented the site is isolated and is next to some of the other high-density development that is occurring in the City, so maybe it is the best use of this parcel. Thiesse commented the buildings do not need to be this high. Chair Thiesse asked if anyone from the public would like to comment on this proposal. Stacey Royal, 3135 Jamestown Road, commented after sitting through this presentation,she feels like she is in the twilight that something like this would be proposed for this location. Orono's logo has wildlife MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. in it and it is a lakeshore city. Classen Lake has pelicans and is the home to swans that have lived there for a number of years. Bill Lurton donated the parcel of land where the dog park is right now. When he was told about this proposed building, he was crushed that this is what could be done with the land next to the park. There are six other neighbors at the meeting tonight and they want to make sure that their feelings about this particular development are understood. Royal thanked Jeremy Barnhart for sharing the numbers for density and the Metropolitan Council's numbers for projected growth. Orono does not need this development to meet those numbers since Orono is over 3.0,and if those numbers are driving this development,the rules and regulations would need to be changed, including height,rezoning, and density. The site is also not in the MUSA,which is what goes toward those Metropolitan Council numbers. Royal stated her thoughts were very similar to Commissioner Lemke's in that, holy crap,this is a lot of buildings to be added. Thomas Sawyer, 3405 County Road 6, stated some interesting points have been raised and that they have talked a little bit about density and comparing density in other areas. Sawyer stated he has lived on Lake Classen for 22 years and that this lot is unique. None of the other sites are on a natural lake or on a wetland or on a peninsula. The applicant is attempting to squeeze this intense development between a dog park, which was donated to the City for the community;between Orono schools,which is for the community; and Baker Park,which is also for the community. This is a proposal that does not do the community good but is for profit. The only justification for the project is to expand housing,which can be done elsewhere and does not need to be done on a natural lake in Orono. Sawyer stated the development is incompatible with the other existing housing in the area and that there are only six single homes on the lake. Sawyer stated he is concerned about the hard surface coverage and drainage. The water levels of Lake Classen currently are high and that he deals with flooding in the spring. Sawyer stated in his opinion the density is too extensive, and that if they want to develop housing or apartments,this is not the place to do it and that there are other places where it would be more compatible. Sawyer stated he really believes that as residents the local government is here to represent them. Everyone has the duty to protect natural lakes and wetlands, and that putting this development in this location is not doing that. It is important that the residents and government are accountable to that. Sawyer commented this is not the best use for the land and in his view the community would not support this. There is no justification for changing the zoning or the Comprehensive Plan for this development. The area should be developed as it was laid out in the Comprehensive Plan under the current zoning and that he would encourage the Planning Commission to stop this foolishness. Jennifer Decabelus,3155 Jamestown Road, stated she shares the same concerns as have already been expressed and that she has lived at her property for ten years and moved here because of the serenity and privacy of the area. The Planning Commission's comments were appreciated about the size and height of the building. Decabelus commented this area is meant to be a natural area, and if this development is approved, when the children go down to the nature center by the school,they will see this building and they will not see the environment that they have grown to appreciate. Within a one-mile radius of the school,there are five other significant developments going on,which will add to the congestion,the traffic,and create a lack of safety for the children walking to and from school. Decabelus stated she cannot imagine adding 500 more MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. people to this one-mile radius without it having a very negative impact to the area they call home. Decabelus stated she appreciates the Planning Commission's serious consideration of this project. Andy Petich,Jamestown Road, stated when he first saw this proposal, he also said,holy crap,this really can't be happening. When he moved to Orono,the big selling point was that it was two-acre zoning,and that he never dreamed there would be a 288-unit building right in his line of sight. This project is a major outlier for our community. Petich commented he is sure the applicants do great work, but that this is not the right location for this project. Lake Classen is a natural lake and people cannot boat or swim in it. It is a marsh and no one is going to want to go down to the end of a dock to a marsh because they can't really use the water. There are eagles flying around, swans, and tons of wildlife and there should not be something that looks like it belongs in St. Louis Park there. Petich stated he would be very disappointed if this is given very much further consideration. Laurel McGloughlin, 3565 County Road 6, questioned what this will do to the enrollment of the schools and whether there are plans to increase the size of the schools. With all the high-density housing going in already, Orono Schools are not going to fit all these kids very easily. Heidi Cole,Jamestown Road, stated they chose the house they did because it was a two-acre lot minimum,which is great, and that it is nice to come home from a stressful job and look at the ducks,the swans,the osprey,the beavers and the eagles. The area is very quiet. Cole stated when she got this letter in the mail, it was like, oh,my God,what is that. I'm going to look at this big apartment building. This project does not belong there. Cole stated this is not what they bought into,and that at the time they purchased the property,the realtor told them that they were paying for a million-dollar view. Looking at huge apartment buildings is not a million-dollar view. If the area is zoned for that, it is different than what their expectations are and that it will destroy the whole character of the area. Neil Riley, 3175 Jamestown Road, stated he just learned about this and that he has to image that there are other considerations, including precedent setting, as it relates to the community and allowing for rezoning on a wetland. Riley stated he would ask the Planning Commission give consideration to the precedent setting this will have on a small community whose motto is the lakeshore city. In addition,this will be a visible project from Baker Park. Riley stated in his view this will truly be changing something that decades from now will create more precedent for other similar buildings. Riley commented he would love to invest in this since he can imagine it will be a tremendous investment, but ultimately it is a business that is going to deliver 95 percent of its rental income back to its investors and not to the community. Riley stated while there might be some economic benefit to ultimately developing it,he would ask that the City not rezone it to something that the community is going to regret. Orono is a tiny community and its motto is protecting its lakeshore. Orono also bought Big Island Park to help conserve that and that they should think about putting this elsewhere. Bill Lurton, Stonebay, stated he lived for 25 years on the bluff on the east side of Lake Classen. He and his wife also owned the property across the lake consisting of approximately 40 acres. When the new highway came through,they decided that they did not want to see a lot of development on the lake and so they gifted their property to Orono for a park. Lurton stated he never envisioned hundreds of more people on the lake because they knew it was zoned for two or three homes. The only boat he ever saw on the lake in 25 years was a little boat that the Orono School used to teach biology. Lake Classen is a protected lake and is home to trumpeter swans and eagles. • MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Lurton stated as he thought about this, it just did not make sense to have it. Lurton stated it is not a lake for boating and that it is not a safe lake to go out on in the winter. Lurton indicated he is opposed to such a proposal for this lake. There were no further public comments. Thiesse asked whether the Planning Commission supports expansion of the MUSA boundary to the subject property. Lemke commented since it is going to be on the other side of the road, it makes sense to extend it, but that he is not sure it will be allowed if it is not high density. Barnhart stated that is a good point. The Planning Commission can support expansion of the MUSA and not support the density. The same questions could come up if this project is not approved and there is a different proposal for more or less density.The answers would help provide direction and advice to people coming forward. Lemke asked what would be the density to put this all into motion. Thiesse noted the City just looked at a proposal last month where they were trying to protect the trees and that the MUSA would help protect the trees and the lake. The City could extend the MUSA even for low density due to extenuating circumstances. Landgraver commented the City has been fortunate there have not been a lot of septic failures along the lake and that he would be in favor of expanding it. Olson indicated he is in agreement with that Erickson stated he would favor of the expansion of the MUSA since whatever development happens would need to be sewered. Erickson stated he agrees with much of what has been said so far and that the greatest issue is the height and how it relates to the existing trees. Erickson stated he recalls when the Peterson project was first built in Wayzata in the 1970s, it was four stories high and it was a shock because it was the first development that was higher than the tree line. It also certainly wasn't the last. There are a lot of people in Wayzata who now regret how high some of those buildings have become and Orono has an opportunity to not repeat their mistake. Erickson commented there is such a wealth of existing trees and that they should keep it as low as they can relative to those trees. Libby stated he would just like to make the statement to the residents who came here tonight that because the MUSA line could be extended into that property,that does not predicate that it would automatically change the density. While the Planning Commission may support expansion of the MUSA,that does not mean they also support the density. The residents that came here tonight should be complimented. Libby stated he would also like to invite the public in general to attend the October 25 advisory committee open house to talk about the Comprehensive Plan and that he would encourage everyone to go to that open house. Ressler stated what he thinks about when considering a project is how he would feel about that project being next to him. The site is not currently zoned for this. The next question is, if you could not see any MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. structure whatsoever on the site,would you still be opposed to it. The answer is probably yes because people are naturally opposed to change. Ressler noted the site is on a busy street but has easy access. There have also been some arguments made for not disrupting the traffic flows. Ressler stated he understands the comment about the schools and that has been a point of discussion in previous meetings. Ressler stated he could see where this is one of the better sites for more density but the question is whether it can be something that can be done that is not disruptive to the views of the people who live there. Ressler noted a lot of decisions the Planning Commission makes are to appease the Metropolitan Council in order to be compliant with their expectations. James Riley asked whether the City has to do everything the Metropolitan Council says since the Metropolitan Council is an unelected group of people. A lot of the residents moved out here to live in rural Orono. That was the selling point. Another selling point was the small class sizes in the school. Riley stated when he moved here,there were 22 kids in the class but now there is 36. Class sizes are getting bigger. Riley stated never in a million years would he have dreamed there would be almost a 300-unit apartment building going in on this site. Riley stated the question is whether the City is doing what the Metropolitan Council say or whether they are governing themselves here. Barnhart stated the Metropolitan Council does not tell Orono how to develop but they do tell the City that they have to develop a plan to provide opportunity to achieve the growth projections that they prescribe. The City does not have to approve any of those projects. Barnhart stated previously the City was not providing enough opportunity to achieve the desired growth. While the City does not necessarily need this project to achieve the desired density,the City has to approve a Comprehensive Plan every ten years. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to support the expansion of the MUSA to this site. Landgraver asked how many residential homes could be built on this site. Barnhart indicated six to seven. Lemke pointed out they could build seven McMansions and the visual impact would be almost as much as this. Lemke noted in that case there would not need to be any difference in zoning or variances since it would be allowed on site. Landgraver stated unfortunately it is developable land and it will not stay undeveloped and the residents will lose their pristine view. The question is, without any changes or input,what could be put there. Presumably those homes would be pushed up to the 150-foot setback so they could have as much lake view as possible,and regardless of where this project goes, it will be developed up to six or seven homes. Landgraver stated he knows Mr.Lurton donated 40 acres as a buffer,but there will be something there at some point and it will be visually jarring to go from eagles and swans and trees to McMansions. Barnhart stated urban density is anything with one acre or more in lot size. In a perfect world the City could say they support urban density at three units per acre if they were looking to change. Realistically it would be better to say they support rural or urban density rather than prescribe a certain number. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Landgraver stated he does not feel the Planning Commission should put a number on it,and the interesting point that was brought up here from the neighbors was put the density elsewhere. The idea of going to the Comprehensive Plan meeting and talking about it would be very helpful. Thiesse indicated he is not in favor of increasing the density on this site given the view shed from County Road 6 and Jamestown and because it is a pristine area. Thiesse indicated he would rather see six or seven houses. Thiesse stated what is being proposed is way too much. Erickson stated he has seen townhouse projects at seven to ten units per acre that are heavily wooded,and that he would not want the Planning Commission to set an exact number tonight. As the discussion goes forward, however,they should think about a tree inventory or visual representations of how the building or buildings would look relative to saving as many trees as possible, especially around the periphery of the site. Lemke noted higher density does not necessarily mean an ugly project and that someone could put up seven really ugly homes. Lemke stated he would like to see a little higher density but that it should be thoughtfully done,with consideration of the views across the lake, and that in his view this is too much. Olson stated he echoes that comment a little bit. Olson stated the one thing he has noticed is that developers should want to have the support of the neighbors and the community on any project they do, which will be a difficult piece in this situation. Given the proposed height and density, in his view it would not be successful and that he would encourage the developer to take the residents' comments to heart. Libby commented the developer needs to be very conscious and sensitive to the environmental impacts and that the loss of legacy trees will impact everyone. Libby encourage the developer to be sensitive to the neighbors' comments. Ressler stated it is pretty clear the proposed height and density is bad. Since the site is zoned for development,there will probably be something there at some point. It could either be seven ugly homes with 30-foot roof heights or it could be something else. Ressler stated the visibility of whatever is there will play a strong role in how it is considered. Thiesse stated the last issue for consideration is whether the Planning Commission supports the modification of the zoning ordinance, and from the comments so far, it sounds like the Planning Commission is,to some degree, in favor of modification to support some type of development. Landgraver asked what the next step in the process is. Barnhart stated the next step is the City Council will receive the comments of the Planning Commission and then review it on November 13,which is a Tuesday. If the developer wants to proceed forward, he would submit a preliminary plat,which will take some time to put together. Barnhart indicated concurrently Staff could incorporate this project into the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Landgraver noted the Comprehensive Plan meeting is an opportunity for the public to have input into the density. The Planning Commission took no formal action on this item. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. 4. LA18-000057 CITY OF ORONO, TEXT AMENDMENT—ACCESSORY BUILDING AND STRUCTURE SETBACKS,8:20 P.M.—8:44 P.M. Curtis noted this is a continuation of the discussion beginning in June regarding proposed changes for Accessory Building and Structure setbacks. The changes discussed thus far have been regarding the overall organization of the regulations in the Code and whether or not adjustments to the existing setbacks are needed. Staff has prepared a draft ordinance based on past feedback. The code has been reorganized so that a user can find the majority of the information regarding principal building,accessory buildings, and accessory structure setbacks within the specific zoning district sections. In addition,modifications were made in the Accessory Buildings and Structures and Non-encroachment sections. The Planning Commission should provide direction on the following: 1. Accessory Buildings and Oversized Accessory Buildings streetward of the Principal; exterior finish standards. 2. Increase the maximum size for an Oversized Accessory Building and increase the total accessory building footprint totals for lots over nine acres. 3. Flexible side setbacks based on non-conforming lot width were added to all R Districts except for RR-1A(5-acre district). 4. On lakeshore lots,the lake yard takes the place of the front yard. The table is meant to address both lake and non-lakeshore lots so it includes a column for front/street setbacks and a column for rear/street. The Planning Commission should reopen the public hearing and receive public comments. The Commission should discuss the above topics and provide direction to Staff. The Planning Commission may choose to move this amendment forward to the City Council or table the application if further discussion or changes are warranted. Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this item. Chair Thiesse closed the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. Thiesse asked what the Planning Commission feels about Item No. 1. Curtis noted it is the last provision in Section 23 and has been included for discussion. Olson asked if the 120 square foot piece is current. Curtis stated Staff is proposing to keep that. The underlined language is new or retained language and the stricken language would be removed. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Olson asked whether someone could proceed forward with a variance if they wanted to deviate from the exterior finish standards. Curtis indicated they would need a variance and that in Staffs view some argument could be made with the words consistent in design and color. As it relates to Section B, if an accessory building is streetward, Staff is looking for the color and design to be the same,but the property owner could ask for a variance if they did not want to use that material. Libby commented he likes this language but that it should be noted it will also increase the cost to the homeowner. Libby stated the Planning Commission may need to be prepared to see an increase in variances. Curtis noted economic difficulty is not a practical difficulty. Libby stated as soon as you get into custom features and materials, it could be tens of thousands of dollars in additional costs. Libby stated the City needs to be conscious that there will be a difference. Thiesse noted currently it is not allowed and this would allow it under certain rules. Olson asked what the definition of consistent is. Curtis stated the current definition says consistent design and color,and that if the principal structure has a pitched roof and is red, Staff would expect the accessory structure to have a pitched roof and red. Olson stated at some point it may be necessary to define the word consistent. Curtis stated that has not been an issue in the past and that the language relating to materials makes it easier. Lemke stated he has an issue with dictating design like that and that in his view the City is trying to say they want everything to look exactly alike,which is scary and may be difficult to do. Landgraver stated he agrees to some extent but that they are asking for whatever is being built is harmonious what other things on the property. Landgraver stated he is supportive of it. Lemke commented he likes the word harmonious rather than consistent. Erickson asked how often they see a Class B house where they contemplate a Class A accessory structure. Curtis stated in the situations where the City has granted variances to this setback,they have asked the property owners for architectural accessories. The requirement is not out of the realm of what the City is looking for,and the whole point of the architectural requirement is to help mitigate the closeness of the accessory building to the road rather than the home. Curtis stated she is attempting to mitigate the negative impact of that and would be open to different ways of doing that. Curtis requested the Planning Commission provide some direction on whether they feel those two districts are acceptable or whether any district would be acceptable. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Libby stated in his view there almost has to have universal application of the rules unless someone has a lot where the accessory structure is not visible at all. Olson noted in a two-acre district,there might not be much visibility. Curtis asked if these rules would make sense in the half-acre and one-acre zones. Libby commented that would make sense. If different zones are being treated differently,there should be different rules and that he is not sure it is needed in the rural districts. Curtis noted rural districts are typically where an accessory building is constructed, and that she is not sure it should be universally applied. Barnhart stated Staff feels it would be more appropriately applied to the rural districts than the half-acre district,which is why there is a distinction between the two zoning districts. Landgraver stated if it was applied to the denser districts, it could create a whole host of problems and would not apply to where the demand is either. Landgraver stated in his view this is a good start, and if Staff finds there are people in other areas that want to put a shed streetward of the house,they can look at it again. The was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the language in Section 23 is acceptable. Curtis stated the second item relates to increasing the maximum size for an oversized accessory building and increasing the total accessory building footprint totals for lots over nine acres. This refers to Section 78-1430 in the current code. The existing table ends at nine acres and caps at 3,000 single footprint building. Curtis indicated she took the same formula used in the other size breakdowns and expanded the table. Staff is recommending for lots 13 acres to 14 acres,as well as 14 acres or more,be allowed a total of 8,000 square footprint instead of 7,000. The change would allow larger properties to have a larger building and then the total of accessory structures would be increased as well. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the language relating to maximum size and total accessory building footprint totals is acceptable. Curtis stated she would like input from the Planning Commission on the tables regarding flexible side setbacks. Allow exception to apply to increase flexibility for narrow lots. The change would not apply to lots over five acres. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that Item 3 is acceptable. Curtis stated the last item relates to rear/street and front/street setbacks for both lake and non-lakeshore lots. Staff has added rear/street to the table from a setback standpoint. The City does have a side street and a rear street already. Thiesse stated street side is also the rear side on a lakeshore property and that they could leave it as street side. Curtis indicated the City also has a street side. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Olson stated in his view it is easily explainable and that he is not sure how they could better explain it. Curtis stated she does not want to add confusion to it. Barnhart stated the goal is to minimize the need for people to call the City for clarification. Curtis noted she also simplified some of the non-encroachment language. In the existing code there are a couple of paragraphs that have three or four provisions in that paragraph and those were pulled out and set out on their own. Lemke moved, Landgraver seconded,to recommend approval of Application No. 18-000057,Text Amendment: Accessory Building and Structure Setbacks. VOTE: Ayes 7,Nays 0. 5. LA18-000084 CITY OF ORONO,TEXT AMENDMENT—GRADING AND LAND ALTERATION,8:44 P.M.—8:53 P.M. Oakden stated this text amendment pertains to land alterations which include grading, filling, and topographic alterations in all districts. Currently there is some confusion with the existing language by applicants. In addition, Staff will often discover a conditional use permit is required during the building permit review, which delays the application. Simplifying the existing code will clarify the process pertaining to land alteration permits and help streamline the permitting process. The City closely regulates grading and land alteration activities for several reasons, including the following: 1. To manage stormwater discharge, ensuring drainage does not negatively impact neighboring properties. 2. Manage hauling traffic and noise. 3. Preventing erosion issues into adjacent properties,wetlands, lakes,and roads. Within these goals, Staff proposes regulations that address the following situations: a. Mining b. Land alteration not associated with a building permit c. Land alteration of more than 50 cubic yards in the lake yard with or without a building permit d. Land alteration of more than 500 cubic yards within the Shoreland Overlay District,excluding activity directly related to building permits e. Grading and land alteration that serve to artificially raise the principal structure over X feet from existing grade; i.e., engineered grade f. Soil export not associated with a building permit g. Reduce or eliminate regulations that do not serve stated goals. The Planning Commission should discuss the scope of land alteration permits and provide direction to Staff to create proposed language. Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 8:48 p.m. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Chair Thiesse continued the public hearing to the November 19 Planning Commission meeting. Ressler stated if the rules are being made to be similar to the surrounding cities,that would help simplify things. Thiesse asked what they are looking at as it relates to artificially raising the grade. Oakden stated the intent of the artificial grade was to prevent people from mounding up a pile of dirt, artificially raising the grade, and then building a house on top of that. Staff has found that a large amount of grading is needed for some of these large homes, which is triggering the need for variances. Staff is wondering whether that is reasonable and whether it should be done by adding clearer regulations and then approve it through the building permit process. Barnhart indicated Staff will do some more research on that and come up with some proposed language. Thiesse stated managing stormwater discharge,hauling traffic,and preventing erosion is important and should remain regulated. Thiesse asked if anyone has any comments on the bullet points. Landgraver suggested Staff look at how the current regulations support each of those goals and then compare them to the surrounding cities. Oakden stated she will do further research on Wayzata and Chanhassen and bring it back to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission took no official action on this item. 6. LA18-000044 CITY OF ORONO,2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT,8:53 P.M.—9:05 P.M. Barnhart noted on November 19 the Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and provide a recommendation to the City Council as to any suggested changes. On October 25 the Advisory Committee will host an open house to allow the public to view the plans and ask any questions of committee members. Afterwards,the Advisory Committee will review all comments received and provide direction to Staff. On December 10 the City Council is expected to review and act on the plan for submission to the Metropolitan Council by the December 13,2018,deadline. Barnhart noted he has not made any changes to the plan since it was proposed in April. To meet the growth projections of the Metropolitan Council,the Land Use Map was updated. The map reflects a revised listing of land use categories. These ten categories are used throughout the document per State and Metropolitan Council requirements and include seven residential,two commercial/industrial, and a park/open space land use. Island residential is a new land use and is employed for the residences on Big Island and Deering Island. In the northern portion of the community,residential land uses were introduced to the Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Boulevard areas. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. In order to prevent expansion of the MUSA, and therefore introduction of density in rural areas, increased opportunity for density had to be added in the Navarre and northern Orono areas. The Advisory Committee applied density in areas where they felt it was most appropriate given transportation networks, neighboring land uses, and services available. The majority of this density was added to the Wayzata Boulevard area. Density increased in Navarre primarily associated with development/redevelopment of the commercial areas. The Plan shows an Urban Medium Density of 3-10 units per acre in the area primarily west of Crystal Bay and Carman's Bay. This land use density was shown to reflect actual development densities and the LR-1C zoning district,with the goal of having the zoning ordinance match the land use plan. The City's utility plans were updated to reflect new regulations and rules established since the 2008 plan. The Comprehensive Plan does not propose the expansion of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area boundary. Expansion of the MUSA comes with a requirement that parcels located within the expanded area be developed at three units per acre or greater. The City Council recently supported an expansion of the MUSA to include the western 10 acres at 1003 Wildhurst Trail. As it relates to planned development sites,the Committee updated the map, originally developed as part of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Revised map shows five areas that could be the subject to development proposals. Those five areas provide growth in a range of densities, from two-acre lots to high density residential. The Navarre Area Plan was incorporated in the Land use Chapter. Finally,the Advisory Committee worked hard to reduce the length of the document by removing redundant statements in the hopes of making it more readable while retaining the major policy discussions outlined within. Barnhart requested the Planning Commission review the plan and then provide any comments they might have before the October 25 meeting. Landgraver asked if there is anything more they can do to obtain public comment. Barnhart recommended they talk to their neighbors and friends and encourage them to look at the plan and come to the open house. Barnhart commented it can be a difficult plan to understand and that they hope to explain it at the open house. UPDATE ON OCTOBER 8,2018, CITY COUNCIL MEETING Barnhart reported the Orono City Council approved the following items at their October 8 meeting: • The land alteration permit for 2655 Orono Drive was approved. • The Dunkley application for 2709 Walters Port Lane was approved. • The variance for 1335 Arbor Street was approved with advice to keep construction traffic off the street. • For 1725 Bohns Point,the Council did support a hardcover variance but did not support expansion of the boathouse upwards. MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,October 15,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. The City Council also reviewed three sketch plans at the meeting. On the Morgart sketch plan,the Council indicated they were receptive to expanding the MUSA. As it relates to the Baldur Park sketch plan,the Council directed Staff to plan for the maximum number of lots and directed the applicant follow the code as much as possible. For the Lakewest development,the City Council was okay with the proposed density but did not support any height above 30 feet. Thiesse asked if 30 feet is still a reasonable number for height given the desire for 9-foot ceilings and a 2- foot trusses. Barnhart stated the Council has been pretty consistent on the 30 feet. Landgraver stated for high-density housing that number perhaps should be reconsidered. Erickson stated it would be interesting to research the 30-foot height limit and the date it was first enacted. Back in the 1970s and into the early 1980s,an 8-foot ceiling was very standard but nowadays an 8-foot ceiling is obsolete. Most builders are now talking about 9-foot ceiling, and if you have two or three stories,that adds a few feet to the total. Erickson stated just to conform with societal changes, a modest bump from 30 to 32 might be reasonable. Libby commented a work session would be the perfect forum to discuss something like that.

Applicable Regulations: Average Lakeshore Setback Variance (Section 78-1279) Based on the newly approved configuration of Lot 2,there is an approximate 100-foot wide buildable envelope at the average lakeshore setback line. There is a generally flat house pad area to support a home,without encroaching into the side yard setbacks,the lake yard, or the average lakeshore setback. The applicant's plan results in an approximate 18.8' encroachment lakeward of the average lakeshore setback line with house and an above-grade deck. Governing Regulation:Variance (Section 78-123) In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed variance upon the health,safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems.Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2,when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located.The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. Practical Difficulties Statement The applicant provided a practical difficulty analysis.That analysis is attached as Exhibit B and has been incorporated into the 12 criteria below.The applicant should be asked for additional testimony regarding the variance request. According to MN §462.537 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when: 1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. FILE#LA18-000086 19 Nov 2018 Page 3 of 4 2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties. a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official controls; Applicant Response:yes b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; Applicant Response: unique property shape; and c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. Applicant Response: no Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be granted as follows: 4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.Applicant Response: lot shape and 5. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06,subd. 2,when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78.Applicant Response: n/a 6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. Applicant Response:ok 7. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.Applicant Response: n/a 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property.Applicant Response:yes 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located.Applicant Response: unique shaped lot 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant.Applicant Response:yes 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter.Applicant Response: no 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.Applicant Response: plan design fits unique shaped lot and adjacent properties The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances. Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located. Practical Difficulties Analysis The Council may grant variances only when it is demonstrated that such action is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the chapter. The burden for demonstrating the need or justification for a variance is on the applicant. Based on the justification provided, Staff finds that there are little to no valid practical difficulties supporting granting of the variance. It appears that the uniqueness of the lot is created by the pending plat, and the requested encroachment is largely a convenience factor. Approving a variance with obvious deficiencies in its justification establishes a precarious precedent where variances are concerned.

Page 19 PC Exhibit F LA18-000086 Keegan November 12, 2018 Melanie Curtis City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway PO Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 Dear Ms. Curtis: We received notice from the city of a variance request for Paul Vogstrom at 2710 Pence Lane for an average setback variance to permit construction of a new residence approximately+or—18 feet lakeward of the ALS line. We are unable to attend the meeting and want to go on record as opposing this variance. We live next door to Bill and Sue Dunkley so we are very familiar with the project and construction that has been ongoing for more than a year. There is already a large concentration of hardcover within the 75 foot setback on the existing Dunkley property. It is our understanding that variances are sometimes granted to alleviate a hardship due to an existing condition. This lot was recently created for the intent of building a new home and therefore,there should be no existing hardship. Furthermore,when permission was granted to split off this lot from the existing Dunkley property, it was stated that there would be no future requests for variances.

However, we would both like our opinion to be recorded regarding: LA 18000086 Paul Vogstrom, 2710 Pence Lane, requesting a lakeshore setback variance to permit construction of a new residence approximately 18 feet lakeward of the ALS line. Our concern is this variance sets a precedent. This will not be a 1-time deal. Once permission is given for this variance, it will become the benchmark for future requests and eventually have a great negative impact on this beautiful lake. The commission needs to protect the future of this lake, and we do NOT believe this variance should be granted. Thank you for your consideration. Debbie& Larry Getlin 2690 Pheasant Rd Orono, MN 55331 612-386-9063 Hueler November 15, 2018 The Honorable Mayor Dennis Walsh and Planning Commission Members City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, Minnesota 55423 Re: Opposition to Proposed Variances for William and Susan Dunkley for Property at 2709 Walters Port Lane (and new lot that is in the process of being subdivided) Dear Mayor Walsh and Planning Commission Members: This letter is in opposition to the above matter. As you know, we reside immediately adjacent to the Dunkley property and have testified on a number of occasions regarding our concerns about the development proposed by the Dunkleys. We did not oppose the conforming subdivision of the Dunkley's property into a"conforming lot". This lot has dimensions that allow a beautiful home to be built within the City Code and set back requirements. Our understanding, as set forth in William Griffith's letter from July to the City Council is "that a lawful variance requires a showing of unique circumstances not created by the landowner. See Minn. Stat. § 462.357, subd. 6(2) (holding that"practical difficulties"requires the landowner to show"the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property[.]"); see also Continental Prop. Grp. V. City of Wayzata, No. A15-1550, 2016 WL 1551693, at#1 (rejecting developer's uniqueness argument where other properties were subject to the same zoning ordinances). See Also Mohler, 645 N.W.2d at 632 (holding variance was not justified where there was no "unique condition under the statute."); cf. Minn Stat. § 394.22, subd. 10 (requiring, in context of county variance, that there be "exceptional circumstances" for a variance to issue). As you are well aware, the Dunkleys have made a number of decisions, including the positioning of the proposed lots, the combination of existing parcels, and construction of a massive addition to their home, all of which preclude the proposed subdivision and house pad. Consequently, they have failed to demonstrate unique circumstances which justify the grant of a variance." The Dunkleys own the property. It has not legally been subdivided yet. They are requesting variances for a lot they plan to sell in the future. The new potential owner is now making the request for variances. Everyone, including the new potential owner, were informed that the subdivision needed to have no variances, and were granted this subdivision by the City Council based on this understanding. They are now asking for a variance to build outside the boundaries The Honorable Mayor Dennis Walsh and Planning Commission Members November 15, 2018 Page 2 that were required for the subdivision to be granted. There are no practical difficulties and we oppose any variances being granted for this project. The subdivision project needs to remain conforming as was required when approval was granted. We appreciate your careful attention to this matter. Thank you. Sincerely, Greg and Kelli Hueler 4853-3083-2493,v. 1 Larkin /POHOPI s>y� Larkin Hoffman 11ATTTOca NN..E�Y SS est. 19 5 8 8300 Norman Center Drive Suite 1000 Minneapolis,Minnesota 55437-1060 GENERAL: 952-835-3800 FAX 952-896-3333 wte: www arkinhof nan.com July 20, 2018 The Honorable Mayor Dennis Walsh and City Council Members City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, Minnesota 55423 Re: Opposition to Sketch Plan and Proposed Variances for William and Susan Dunkley for Property at 2709 Walters Port Lane Dear Mayor Walsh and City Council Members: This letter is written on behalf of Greg and Kelli Hueler in opposition to the above matter. As you know, the Huelers are immediately adjacent to the Dunkley property and have testified on a number of occasions regarding their significant concerns about the development proposed by the Dunkleys. This letter is written to set forth their objections to the current sketch plan, as well as the illegal expansion of use of the private driveway. Discussion As noted in the City staff report,the Dunkleys were unsuccessful in obtaining a lot line rearrangement which required a number of variances and was not supported by the Planning Commission or City Council. This application, submitted last year, was withdrawn by the Dunkleys who then pursued the combination of the two parcels into one property record at Hennepin County so they could expedite permitting of a massive addition to their existing home. Still, the addition required variances to the average lakeshore setback,the 75-foot setback and hard cover limitations. Now, a year later, the Dunkleys are again pursuing a plan that is similar to the plan that was not supported by the Planning Commission or City Council in 2017. There is no legal basis for a variance to create the new lot with a nonconforming house pad because the actions of the applicant created the need for the variance. As a matter of law, a practical difficulty or hardship cannot be created by the actions of the applicant. Legal Analysis A lawful variance requires a showing of unique circumstances not created by the landowner. See Minn. Stat. § 462.357, subd. 6(2) (holding that"practical difficulties"requires the landowner to show"the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property[.]"); see also Continental Prop. Grp. V. City of Wayzata, No. A15-1550, 2016 WL 1551693, at#1 (rejecting The Honorable Mayor Dennis Walsh and City Council Members • July 20, 2018 Page 2 developer's uniqueness argument where other properties were subject to the same zoning ordinances). See Also Mohler, 645 N.W.2d at 632 (holding variance was not justified where there was no "unique condition under the statute."); cf. Minn Stat. § 394.22, subd. 10 (requiring, in context of county variance, that there be "exceptional circumstances"for a variance to issue). In this case, the Dunkleys have made a number of decisions, including the positioning of the proposed lots,the combination of existing parcels, and construction of a massive addition to their home, all of which preclude the proposed subdivision and house pad. Consequently,they have failed to demonstrate unique circumstances which justify the grant of a variance. Conclusion In conclusion, the request by the Dunkleys cannot be supported by existing law or the required findings for a variance under the City Code. In 2017,the Dunkleys decided to withdraw their previous application because it was not supported by the Planning Commission or City Council. They used the lot combination process through Hennepin County to circumvent the subdivision requirements so that they could expedite the construction of a massive addition to their home. In doing so, the applicants made an election between expanding their home and creating a second lot with a conforming building pad. Once this election was made,they foreclosed the legal basis for obtaining variances for the proposed lot and building pad. The Dunkleys cannot meet the legal burden for obtaining variances for the proposed subdivision and should be advised accordingly. We appreciate your careful attention to this matter. Thank you.

Griffith, for Larkin Hoffman Direct Dial: 952-896-3290 Direct Fax: 952-842-1729 Email: wgriffith@larkinhoffman.com cc: Greg and Kelli Hueler Soren Mattick, City Attorney Melanie Curtis, City Planner The Honorable Mayor Dennis Walsh and City Council Members July 20, 2018 Page 3 4853-3083-2493,v. 1 PC Exhibit G LA18-000086 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,October 8,2018 7:00 o'clock p.m. to be replaced. 2,046 cubic yards of dirt was cut from the site and 1,648 yards was used for fill for the property. In addition,the applicants propose a grading plan that converts the flat lot into a walk-out lot. This transformation,coupled with the grading being done independent of a building permit,triggers a conditional use permit. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit. One public comment was received from a neighbor asking for review of the water flow and drainage on the site with the proposed topography changes. The City Engineer typically reviews that at the time of building permit. Staff recommends approval of the application. Crobsy asked whether the fill will impact the drainage on the neighboring property. Oakden stated the City Engineer has reviewed the building permit but has not submitted any comments suggesting new drainage is required. Mayor Walsh opened the public hearing at 7:04 p.m. There were no public comments regarding this application. Mayor Walsh closed the public hearing at 7:04 p.m. Seals moved,Crosby seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO.6906,a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit from Municipal Zoning Code Section 78-967,for the property located at 2655 North Shore Drive. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. 9. LA18-000072 PAUL VOGSTROM ON BEHALF OF WILLIAM AND SUE DUNKLEY, 2709 WALTERS PORT LANE,PRELIMINARY PLAT(PENCE LANE ADDITION)PUBLIC HEARING—RESOLUTION NO. 6907 Paul Vogstrom,Contractor,and Sue Dunkley,Applicant, were present. Curtis stated this application is regarding a preliminary plat to create two lots for a single-family home where one lot currently exists. The applicants are proposing to create a new lakeshore lot between their Walters Port Lane home at 2709 Walters Port Lane and the neighboring property to the east at 2715 Pence. The preliminary plat drawing shows proposed Lot 1 as a 2.3 acre parcel and proposed Lot 2 as a 1.46 acre parcel. There is an outlot on the north portion of the property that connects to Pence Lane. Both lots exceed the 1-acre LR-1 B size requirements and also meet or exceed the 140-foot width requirement at the lake and at the 75-foot setback line. Based on the configuration,there is an approximate 97-foot wide buildable width at the average lakeshore setback line. Page 2 of 18 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,October 8,2018 7:00 o'clock p.m. Lot 2 is not considered a back lot,as it has a proposed 20-foot wide road frontage connection to Walters Port Lane. Lot 1 is proposed to solely use Walters Port Lane for access. Lot 2 will access via the existing Pence Lane driveway shared with the Huelers at 2715 Pence Lane. No variances are being requested. The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their September meeting and voted 7-0 on a motion to recommend approval of the conforming preliminary plat. Public comments were received at the Planning Commission meeting and focused primarily on stormwater and drainage concerns as well as reiteration of the support for a development which did not require any variances. The City Engineer did identify some grading,drainage and stormwater issues that must be worked out for the final plans prior to final plat approval. The preliminary plat layout itself is conforming and approvable. Final plat approval will not be granted until all applicable permits and approvals from Hennepin County and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District are received. Planning Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat. The Council should re-open the public hearing, accept any comments from the public, and then consider adopting or amending the approval resolution relating to the preliminary plat. Mayor Walsh opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. Paul Vogstrom, Contractor,stated they are excited about this plan and are considering some revisions as it relates to the line of sight that will be submitted in the near future. Vogstrom noted the proposed plan is conforming and that he is here to answer any questions. Mike Jorgensen,2725 Pheasant Road, noted his property adjoins the subject property and that he is here in support of the proposal. Jorgensen stated it is his belief this will be a first-class development since that is how the Dunkleys do things and that he was not asked by the Dunkleys or any person connected with the application to speak on their behalf and that his comments come from the heart. Sue Dunkley, 2709 Walters Port, stated from the very beginning once they purchased the property they had planned to access off of Pence Lane,which is not being proposed currently, but that they will come back once the easement coming into that property is settled. At that time they will be asking the Council what they need to do to make that happen. Dunkley commented she did not want people to be surprised and have people say that they gave up that right. The proposal will be solving age-old water problems for everyone's benefit with the new plan created by Mark Gronberg. Mark Gronberg, Surveyor, stated he found out something from Staff a few days ago about the average lakeshore setback line and how it is interpreted. Gronberg stated he has not seen that rule used before and that he likely will be having some discussions with Staff about that when the house plans are presented. Greg Hueler,2715 Pence Lane,stated his understanding was when the Planning Commission approved the application,they recommended approval of it as a conforming lot with two homes on a private driveway. Hueler asked if the Dunkleys are making it known that that is not their intention, is it still a conforming lot. Page 3 of 18 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,October 8,2018 7:00 o'clock p.m. Walsh stated it is a conforming lot based on what is being presented currently and that the Dunkleys are not precluded from asking for something else. The City Council will be voting on what is being presented this evening. Kelly Hueler asked whether there would be a process to change the code. Walsh stated in order for the code to be changed,it would need to go before the Planning Commission, public input would be obtained,and then the City Council would discuss it. Kelly Hueler stated it is her understanding that the City Council bases their decisions on the code and that they do not get involved in private disputes between neighbors. Hueler stated she heard Sue Dunkley just say they have intentions to do something different. Hueler asked whether that has anything to do with a code change. Walsh stated the City does not preclude anyone from asking for a variance. All applications that are reviewed are always based on the current code and that the City Council does not get involved with private easements or disputes. Mayor Walsh closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. Wash noted this is a conforming lot and that the applicants are not requesting any variances. Seals asked how the grading,drainage and stormwater issues will be addressed. Curtis indicated those will be taken care of at the time of final plat. Printup moved,Dankey seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO.6907,a Resolution Approving a Preliminary Plat for the Plat of Pence Lane Addition. VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. 10. LA18-000077(LA18-000033 AND 18-4000)JOHN KNOBLAUCH ON BEHALF OF COLIN KELLER, 1335 ARBOR STREET,VARIANCE,PUBLIC HEARING -RESOLUTION NO. 6908 John Knoblauch,Contractor, was present. Oakden stated the applicant is requesting variances for side street setback and interior side setback. The site was subject to earlier variances back in May of 2018. The City Council at that time approved variances for lot area, lot width, front yard,side street and interior side yard setbacks. A new builder has applied for a building permit and is proposing two new encroachments: 1. Expand the house footprint over the approved window well into the interior side setback; expanding the structure and volume within the interior side 2. Creating a new bump-out within the side street yard setback outside of the approved house footprint; expanding the structure and volume within this setback. Page 4 of 18 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,September 17,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Planning Staff recommends approval. Thiesse asked if Exhibit B shows the proposed contours. Oakden stated to her knowledge they are. Steven Kleineman, SKD Architects,stated the site itself is quite flat,with a slight roll. The grading being done on the property will help blend the topography together. The home to the west sits up a little higher and the grade will be blended very comfortably with the adjacent property,primarily on the northern part, with the back yard remaining essentially the same. There will be very little grade change on the east side of the property and once the entire project is completed,the grades will look very natural,especially after it has been landscaped. Lemke asked what was wrong with the soil that was there. Kleineman indicated the soil was very soft and the existing home on the property had issues over the years. Currently the high-water level is 929.4 and the grade runs from 930' to 939' at its high point. Soil borings were done and they came back very soft. The recommendation from the engineer was to excavate and come back with a properly engineered fill,which is what is being proposed. Thiesse asked how much additional soil will be brought in. Mulrennan indicated it will be approximately 500 cubic yards. Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:37 p.m. There were no public comments related to this application. Chair Thiesse continued the public hearing to the October 8 City Council meeting. Thiesse commented the application is pretty straight forward. Ressler moved,Landgraver seconded,to recommend approval of Application No.LA18-000071, Dan Mulrennan,2655 North Shore Drive,granting of a conditional use permit. VOTE: Ayes 7, Nays 0. 3. LA18-000072 PAUL VOGSTROM ON BEHALF OF BILL AND SUE DUNKLEY,2709 WALTERS PORT LANE,PRELIMINARY PLAT,6:37 P.M.—6:52 P.M. Paul Vogstrom, Contractor,and Sue and Bill Dunkley,Applicants,were present. Curtis noted the Planning Commission and City Council reviewed this application as a sketch plan back in June and July of this year. The applicants are now requesting preliminary plat approval for a new lakeshore lot between their Walters Port Lane home located at 2709 Walters Port Lane and the neighboring property to the east. The proposal involves creation of two lots with over 1.0 acres in dry buildable area each within the area guided for low-medium density. Page 2 of 22 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,September 17,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. Lot 1,which is where the Dunkleys' home is located,consists of one acre. Proposed Lot 2 meets the one acre size requirement and the 140-foot width at the lake and at the 75-foot setback line. Based on the configuration,there is an approximate 90-foot buildable envelope at the average lakeshore setback line. No variances are being requested. The proposed 20-foot wide frontage connection to Walters Port Lane is proposed for the street frontage of Lot 2. The applicants are proposing to solely use the Walters Port access as they have been. Lot 2 will access using the existing Pence Lane shared with the Huelers. Lot 2 provides for a generally flat house pad to support a reasonable home without encroaching into the side yard setbacks,the lake yard,or the average lakeshore average. A delineated wetland near the center of the property impacts the buildable area and limits flexibility for development of the lot. The delineated wetland does require a buffer as required by the Watershed District. The lots will be served by city sewer and water. Over the past year and during the construction of the addition to the Dunkleys' home,there has been unaccounted and unpermitted movement of dirt and grading. This grading has impacted the"existing grade"necessary to apply height regulations to the new home. The applicant is attempting to capture and gain approval of the topographic changes to the property with the proposed plat. There is an area between the wetland and the driveway where approximately 300 cubic yards of fill was placed. This filling was not part of the permits for the demolition of the home on 2710 Pence Lane,nor was it included in the home addition permits. The applicants are also showing an approximate 200 cubic yard stockpile on Lot 1. This material is also proposed to be utilized along the west side of the driveway. Material has been added to the stockpile as part of the pool excavation today. A number of trees have been removed from the property outside of the 75-foot zone. The City will require the standard perimeter drainage and utility easements around all property boundaries in the plat and drainage easements over the wetland area and drainageways. Outlot A should also include the perimeter drainage and utility easements. The final plat drawing should include the drainage and utility easements. The preliminary plat should reflect the limits of the existing driveway easement for clarity in the future. Additional evidence of a driveway maintenance agreement and easements for access to Lot 1 and the Huelers will be required at the time of final plat. A park dedication fee is recommended per City Ordinance. The Park Fee is determined as 8 percent of the fair market value of the land being subdivided but must be between a minimum of$3,250 and a maximum of$5,550 per residential dwelling unit. The City's assessor will be consulted to determine the market value of the land for establishing the amount of the fee. The developer should contact the MCWD and provide confirmation regarding the permits or approvals they will require for this subdivision. The City's engineer is in the process of reviewing the proposed plat drawing and comments will be provided prior to being placed on the City Council agenda. The development is also subject to the 2018 Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fee of$5,250 per acre. Planning Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat. Page 3 of 22 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,September 17,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. The Planning Commission had no questions for Staff. Paul Vogstrom, Contractor,stated they have worked extensively with Staff and that he believes everything has been ironed out with the lot. Chair Thiesse opened the public hearing at 6:42 p.m. Greg Hueler,2715 Pence Lane,noted he and his wife have never stated that they would be opposed to a lot that conforms to the City's regulations and that they are happy to see the applicants are proposing a lot that meets City Code as well as a driveway with only two homes on it. Hueler stated he appreciates those changes and that he has no other comments. Bill Griffith,Attorney-at-Law appearing on behalf of the Huelers, stated they are happy the applicants are proposing a conforming lot,and in looking forward to the future,the Huelers will not support any type of variance since the home can be developed fully in conformance with City Code. In addition,since the new property and the Huelers' property accesses off of Pence Lane,there should not be a variance granted to add a third house to that driveway since there is legal access from Walters Port Lane currently. If this developer or applicant requests that variance,the Huelers will oppose it. Griffith stated the best way to protect everyone's rights is to construct a conforming home on this conforming lot. Mike Jorgensen,Pheasant Road, stated his property adjoins the subject property. Jorgensen indicated he has known the Dunkleys for a number of years,and when he found out they were going to develop this property,he knew it would be first class because everything they do with their property is first class. Jorgensen stated the Dunkleys are really wonderful people and that he hopes the Planning Commission approves all their requests. Sandra Keegan,2707 Walters Port Lane,noted the Dunkleys' landscape plans have changed since they proposed the addition on to their house. Originally their driveway access was going to be off of Pence, which is no longer the case. Keegan stated they have experienced some runoff from the Dunkleys' house that was rebuilt ten years ago. With the new addition and the increase of hardcover where the new driveway is going to connect to the existing driveway,which is right where her property starts,Keegan stated she is concerned there will be more issues with runoff into her lot. Keegan stated this is the first time they have seen this landscape plan and that she and her husband would like to go on the record that they have concerns about the runoff due to the amount of hardcover concentrated in that area. Bill Keegan,2707 Walters Port Lane,noted the Dunkleys and their landscaper have indicated they will take steps to address that but that they just wanted to express their concerns. Sue Dunkley,Applicant, stated she has reviewed the City's documents for the past 40 years concerning the drainage in that area and that their developer will also be looking very closely at that. Dunkley indicated they want the landscaping to look beautiful everywhere and that they will work diligently to figure out how to solve an age-old problem as it concerns the runoff. In addition,the driveway covenants say whoever is using the road has to do the maintenance, snowplowing,and pay the real estate taxes. Dunkley stated they will need to work together to find out who will improve it and that they will certainly not going to stop whatever is an improvement. In regards Page 4 of 22 MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday,September 17,2018 6:30 o'clock p.m. to the dirt movement,there was a drop from the road down to the swamp,which was filled in. The original intention was to widen the road and the last thing they wanted was a drop down to the swamp. Dunkley stated she is not sure what happened there but that they certainly did not do anything intentional other than improve the area. Dunkley noted the road has not been paved in 34 years and that something will need to be done after construction is completed. Chair Thiesse continued the public hearing to the October 8 City Council meeting. Thiesse asked what direction Staff has on the fill. Curtis stated the City's engineer is currently reviewing the grading plan and that she has spoken to Mr.Gronberg about the fill,who was trying to reconcile what changes were made with the previous surveyor's information. Staff is hoping to have a plan that the City Engineer will approve prior to the Council meeting and that Staff is hoping to work with the applicant to resolve any runoff concerns onto the Keegan property. Libby commented it is encouraging that Gronberg&Associates is taking a look at this and that the applicants are amenable to remediating any problems to the neighbors,which gives him a very strong vote of confidence. Ressler stated he appreciates the efforts by the applicants to make this a conforming lot,which makes it easier for the Planning Commission and everyone else concerned. Lemke moved,Olson seconded,to recommend approval of Application No.LA18-000072, Paul Vogstrom on behalf of Bill and Sue Dunkley,2709 Walters Port Lane,preliminary plat. VOTE: Ayes 7,Nays 0. 4. LA18-000075 BLAKE SWANSON,3017 NORTH SHORE DRIVE,VARIANCE This item was removed at the request of the Applicant. 5. LA18-000077 JOHN KNOBLAUCH,1335 ARBOR STREET,VARIANCES,6:52 P.M.— 7:03 P.M. Jeff Martineau,Developer,was present. Oakden stated the applicant is requesting side street setback and interior side setback variances. This site was the subject of an earlier variance application in January that the Planning Commission subsequently recommended denial on due to the request for a structural coverage variance. In February,the City Council tabled the application and asked the applicants to redesign the home to meet the structural coverage standards and bring the application back through the public hearing process. In April,the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval. The City Council then reviewed the application on May 14,2018,and approved variances for lot area,lot width,front yard,side street, and interior side yard setbacks. The original applicant sold his interest in the project and a new builder has applied for a building permit and is proposing two new encroachments: Page 5 of 22 Hennepin Hennepin County Locate & Notify Map Date: 10/22/2018 2615 't f8 �a .--,,,...„5-3.1..-..f.:4!--,-,:-;.„.,p V.,...74.=!:--:,..,,,&,t,,,,.- ,, 2620 � �'' ;; r+ 2625 126U�r4 . .q iia-" Fy. . - 4 - ., k'-4 2655 2640 10 _,3 .iy ;)-frit) _ (� 4,�l ami , f,. 1 _ F '� . r+ 2650 " , ;:[d wx g} 2655 ''*� 265, 6'; p} s- x„ rri - t'-1} j x� i 2693 , )i !(.-,- ,,,0, ,.re 11.,4,,,,,.: , ,a ry �' V. rF - b.

Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends the planning commission review the findings. Background The applicant is requesting a 6 foot tall privacy fence to be constructed in the side street yard between the two driveway entrances. Ferndale road is a local street and per City Code only allows a maximum 42 inch tall fence on local roads. The applicant has stated the high volume of traffic and use of the road has created a burden on the property. LOT ANALYSIS WORKSHEET Section 78-1405 a.(8)b.: DISTRICT LR-1A Required Max Fence Height Proposed Fence Height Street Street 42 inches (3.5') 72 inches (6') Lakeshore 75' Met Average Lakeshore Setback is met Applicable Regulations: Variance (78-1405 a.(8)b.1.) Fences within the required street (rear) yard or side street yard of a lakeshore lot shall not exceed 42 inches above existing ground level. Exception: A fence not exceeding six feet in height may be located along the street lot line of a lake frontage lot which abuts a major thoroughfare. A major thoroughfare for purposes of this section means any county road or state highway. If such fence involves fill or berming,the total combined height of both fence and fill shall not exceed six feet above the height of the crown of the major thoroughfare. Governing Regulation:Variance(Section 78-123) In reviewing applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances LA18-000087 11/19/2018 Page 2 of 3 where their strict enforcement would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with this chapter. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under this chapter for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located.The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling. According to MN §462.537 Subd. 6(2)variances shall only be permitted when: 1. The variance is in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Ordinance. The Planning Commission should discussion the intent of the fence setbacks to determine if the proposed fence location is in harmony with the intent of the Ordinance. 2. The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan. An addition of a fence to a property with an existing home is consistent with the comprehensive plan. 3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties. a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the official controls; The use of a fence is a reasonable accessory use within the LR-1A District. b. There are circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; The applicant states the section of Ferndale is busy and acts like a county road and so,should follow the city code exception to allow for a 6 foot fence. c. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. A fence should not alter the character of the area. Additionally City Code 78-123 provides additional parameters within which a variance may be granted as follows: 4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Economic considerations have not been a factor in the variance approval determination. 5. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as defined in Minn.Stat.§216C.06,subd. 2,when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter 78.This condition is not applicable. 6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is located. This condition is not applicable, as the use for a fence is an allowed accessory use in the LR-1A District. 7. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling as a two-family dwelling.This condition is not applicable. 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property. The property abuts a roadway that is heavily used and accesses other municipality's business district. Due to the unique shape of the lot the home is located close to the right of way creating the need for separation for safety and privacy. 9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the land is located. The applicant finds this to be true due to the position of the home to the right of way creating the need separation. LA18-000087 11/19/2018 Page 3 of 3 10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant.The applicant has stated this to be true. 11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or morals,or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter.The applicant has stated this to be true. 12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty.The applicant has stated this to be true. The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances. Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located. Practical Difficulties Statement Applicant has completed the Practical Difficulties Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. Practical Difficulties Analysis Staff finds the request to be reasonable.While not a county road or state highway, Ferndale Road is a busy street that connects Orono to Wayzata's downtown area. Our Code allows for a 6 foot fence in this location if the home was located on the major thoroughfare such as a county road or state highway. The shape of the lot is also unique compared to its neighbors in the shape and location of the principle structure sitting close to the right of way where separation could improve safety conditions for the property. Public Comments To date, no public comments have been received. Issues for Consideration 1. The Planning Commission should discussion the intent of the fence setbacks to determine if the proposed fence location is in harmony with the intent of the Ordinance. 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood? 3. If the Commission does not feel that the standards for variance have been adequately met, they could consider directing an amendment to the fence regulations. 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Planning Staff Recommendation The Planning Commission should discuss the proposed questions provided by staff. If the Planning Commission supports the proposed findings a MOTION to recommend approval is supported. List of Exhibits Exhibit A. Application Exhibit B.

(l Ir V104 oI To: Chair Thiesse and Planning Commission Members Dustin Rief, City Administrator "Qas H o31(" From: Jeremy Barnhart, Community Development Director Date: November 19, 2018 Subject: #LA18-44, City of Orono, 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update, Public Hearing Application Summary: After a public hearing, consider the state required comprehensive update for the 2040 Community Management Plan. Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval as drafted. Background Section 473.858 of Minnesota State law requires the submission of a comprehensive plan amendment to the Metropolitan Council (Met Council) every ten years. The last comprehensive rewrite of the Comprehensive Plan was completed in 2008. This amendment is due to the Met Council by December 31, 2018. The City of Orono calls its Comprehensive Plan a Community Management Plan. The terms are used interchangeably. This Comprehensive Plan draft was introduced to the public formally in April, 2018. This introduction included posting the draft on the cities website and an open house on May 10, 2018. The plan was also sent to area agencies and governments,who are given 6 months to review and provide comment. That comment period ended on October 29, 2018. A final public open house was held on October 25th. Open houses were selected as a way to generate comments from individuals not comfortable with speaking in front of large groups. The Planning Commission will hold a formal public hearing on Monday, November 19th The Plan amendment was developed by a committee of residents,who met monthly and guided and advised staff on changes to the plan. The committee members are: Jennifer Smiley, Resident Bob Erickson, Resident, Planning Commission Meg Cowden, Resident Dennis Libby, Resident, Planning Commission Chad Olson, Planning Commission Phil Lusardi, Resident Candice Nadler, Resident John Morast, Resident Rick Meyers, Park Commission Jan Berg, Park Commission Jon Schwingler, Planning Dennis Walsh, Mayor Commission FILE#18-44 November 19,2018 Page 2 of 5 This Committee operated under three primary goals: 1. Retain rural character and natural resource protection policies established in previous plans. 2. Satisfy Met Council requirements. 3. Improve the readability of the document. The Plan. A draft of the plan, showing changes from the April version, is posted on the website, and in dropbox. The changes may appear to be numerous, but many of them are based on formatting changes, updated data from sources including the state and the Met Council, and responses to comments received during the 6 month review. The plan retains the general development and land and water protection philosophies established by earlier plans. Preservation of rural character and preservation of water quality was very important to the committee. Metropolitan Council estimates. The Metropolitan Council requires the plans to reflect growth in population, households, and employment over the next 20 years.

The Plans, in meeting Met Council projections,was focused at the household level. For instance, between 2030 and 2016,the projections show an addition of 523 households. Properties were identified that,through density allocation, could be development to generate this number of households. FILE#18-44 November 19,2018 Page 3 of 5 Points of interest. Expansion of MUSA. The Plan proposes a single expansion of the MUSA boundary,to serve vacant property on the north end of Wildhurst while preserving steep slopes and significant tree stands in the area. This is a change from the draft proposed in April. Land Use. To meet the growth projections of the Metropolitan Council,the Land Use Map was updated. The map (3B-3) reflects a revised listing of land use categories. These 10 categories are used throughout the document per Met Council requirements and include 7 residential, 2 commercial/industrial, and a park/open space land use. Island residential is a new land use and is employed for the residences on Big Island and Deering Island. The plan shows low density residential (0.5-2 units per acre) as the predominate land use south of Fox Street. An earlier version of the land use map showed portions of these area as medium density residential, recognizing the development patterns established. However, based on feedback reviewed,the Council directed these areas, including Crystal Bay, Casco Point, Fagerness Point, and Navarre,to change back to low density residential. Final Maps reflect this direction. In the northern portion of the community, residential land uses were introduced to the Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Blvd areas. The parcels south of Lake Classen were not changed from Rural Residential. In order to prevent larger scale expansion of the MUSA, and therefore introduction of density in our rural areas, (or increased building heights) increased opportunity for density had to be added in the Navarre and northern Orono areas. The Committee applied density in areas where they felt it was most appropriate,given transportation networks, neighboring land uses, and services available. A number of comments generated during the review period were based on a perception of changes in density, particularly in the area north of Long Lake. These areas changed names, but not density. Changes to land use as proposed are summarized in Exhibit E. Planned Development Sites. It is a requirement of the planning process that sites be identified for potential growth in the next 20 years. The Committee updated the Planned Development sites map, originally developed as part of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Map 3B-4 is the revised version and shows 5 areas that could be the subject of development proposals. These 5 areas provide 'growth' in a range of densities,from 0.5 to 2 units per acre (green)to High Density Residential (Yellow) 20-25 u/a. Navarre Area Plan. The Navarre Area Plan, conducted by the Planning Consultant WSB and Associates was incorporated in the Land Use Chapter,3B and influenced some of the land use in that area. Editing. The Committee worked hard to reduce the length of the document, removing redundant statements, in the hopes of making it more 'readable'while retaining the FILE#18-44 November 19,2018 Page 4 of 5 major policy discussions outlined within. As proposed changes are accepted, additional pagination will be necessary. Maps. The maps were updated to reflect new roads and parcels established since the 2008 plan. In part to reflect a comment by the Met Council,two copies of Land Use and sewer maps were created. One set includes parcel boundaries that are clearer when printed at a larger size. The Park Commission reviewed the park Trail and Open Space Chapter at their meeting in March. Public Comments The 6 month formal comment period yielded a number of comments, attached with responses as Exhibit B. City staff also has received a number of formal (written)and informal (verbal) comments from citizens after the comment period. These written comments are provided as Exhibit C. The City also received comments from the Metropolitan Council's preliminary review, attached as Exhibit D. Generally,citizens commenting expressed a concern with adding density, linking high density to school overcrowding,traffic congestion, lack of jobs, and crime. Frequently, staff heard questions such as: "why do we need to meet growth projections at all." The response is that we are growing, (an average of 54 new homes each year since 2014) and because of state law and logical planning, City simply must plan and anticipate growth, especially given our housing goals: "Orono has identified the need for a broader range of housing choices including starter homes, empty-nester, and senior housing, and an ongoing need for substantial housing rehabilitation." These housing goals remain the same from the 2008 Plan. The plan anticipates growth based on Met Council projections, and the variety of density offers opportunities to satisfy our housing goals. This is done without sacrificing the rural character and our role in preserving the lakes and natural areas. Not all comments were negative toward development,some comments have been received that look forward to apartments and condominiums that allow them to stay in the community. Issues for Consideration. The Commission could contemplate the following policy questions identified through the review of the document. 1. Does the Commission concur with the following 7 guiding principals: Guiding Principle#1: Promote ecologically sensitive stormwater management. Applying an ecologically-based stormwater management system will improve ecosystems by reducing both reliance on manmade infrastructure and reducing downstream runoff of contaminants. FILE#18-44 November 19,2018 Page 5 of 5 Guiding Principle#2: Establish and maintain native ecological communities. Conserving and improving natural and semi-natural areas will provide wildlife habitat and support natural ecological functions (i.e. drainage, filtering, buffering, etc). Guiding Principle#3: Establish and maintain ecological connections. Creating ecological connections will enhance stormwater collection and conveyance, promote ecological and wildlife corridors, and provide recreational opportunities for residents. Guiding Principle#4: Preserve and augment corridor enclosure. Maintaining and improving the extent of roadway corridor enclosures will promote community aesthetics associated with the city's rural character. Guiding Principle#5: Preserve views. Mitigating the visual impacts of development will also preserve the aesthetic elements of the landscape. Guiding Principle#6: Preserve and maintain landmarks and unique points of local character. Preserving distinct cultural features will maintain a familiar sense of place in the community. Guiding Principle#7: Continue to work to educate property owners and residents on the effects development and use have on the environment and character of the community. 2.

Introduction CMP PART 1 INTRODUCTION PURPOSE The purpose of this plan is to document and reinforce the established goals, policies and principles of the City of Orono as a guide for orderly and economic private development and public improvement in the years ahead. Major emphasis is on the needs and involvement of people. The Plan discusses how people can manage their environment, how people have become involved with municipal decisions, how people can create and continue the lifestyle and community that we know as Orono. This Plan is a revised, expanded and updated version of Orono's 2010-2030 Community Management Plan (CMP). It reflects the City's long-established philosophy, goals and policies that were first introduced in the 1974 Orono Comprehensive Guide Plan and later solidified within the 1980 Orono CMP.Major policy direction remains relatively unchanged but the content has been revised and updated to reflect the changes the City and the Metropolitan Area has undergone since 2010. TITLE The title of this document is the Community Management Plan. Throughout this document, the Community Management Plan will be abbreviated as "CMP". SCOPE The scope of this Plan is intended to include almost every factor that influences investments or improvements in the City,whether by private individuals or government involvement. Each section of the Plan stands on its own merits yet is an integral part of the whole. For instance, Orono's history and natural features are explored as factors explaining and constraining contemporary decisions. The Land Use Management section becomes the primary tool for formulation of zoning regulations and development proposals.Planning of transportation,recreation and sewer services allows for coordination of capital investment with land management and regional system capacity. Relevance of the Plan is important as concepts must be current to be fully understood or implemented. Regular and ongoing reviews are to be conducted by the Planning Commission and City Council to renew this understanding in light of changing attitudes and events. Careful reading will reveal that Orono's past history and current goals have remained essentially the same. Therefore, the reader is advised that for all intents and purposes, this Plan and its impact on local development are intended to be permanent. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 1, Page 2 CMP Part 1. Introduction OVERVIEW The basic concerns and philosophies of Orono citizens have evolved through the City's history and its intimate ties with Lake Minnetonka. Map No. 1-1 locates Orono in relationship to Minneapolis and the western suburbs. More importantly, it clearly indicates the relative importance of Orono to the total watershed of Lake Minnetonka. No other city bordering the Lake has as much water area, as much shoreline, or as much watershed land area as Orono. Orono is committed to effective land use planning and permanent environmental protection in an effort to preserve the great resources of Lake Minnetonka for the benefit of all regional residents. The people of Orono,though of diverse interests,have been drawn together by a slow-paced lifestyle and quiet amenities. Their common tie is a commitment to maintain those attractions of which Lake Minnetonka is the most visible example. In the 1950's, increasing urbanization all around Lake Minnetonka threatened to environmentally "kill" the Lake by uncontrolled discharge of nutrients. Citizens became concerned. Their first reaction caused lake area municipalities to begin extending sewer systems to eliminate individual septic system discharges. This helped the situation at first,but by 1968 lake water quality was still diminishing. Citizens became alarmed. At this point the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency joined with the newly organized Lake Minnetonka Conservation District to commission a study of lake pollution. Entitled "A Program for Preserving the Quality of Lake Minnetonka",the "Harza Study"(as it will be referred to hereafter)found that this nutrient input, particularly phosphorus, was being generated from two principal sources: the seven municipal sewage treatment plants; and urban stormwater runoff coming from within the watershed. The first pollution source, nutrient rich effluent outflowing from the municipal sewage treatment plants, was systematically eliminated during the late 1970's and early 1980's by multi-million dollar construction of sewer interceptors designed to remove effluent from the watershed.But stormwater runoff is a different matter. Compared to point-source sewage pollution, the collection and treatment of non- point source stormwater runoff is relatively difficult, costly, and often impractical. Lake Minnetonka is fed by neither spring nor tributary. The sole replenishment comes from storm water runoff from the watershed, of which over one-third flows from or through Orono. Lake Minnetonka, second only to Lake Michigan in this region, has an extremely long 25-year flush-out period. This means that careful and continuous attention must be given to the quality of runoff into the Lake. The various studies conducted in the 1960's and 1970's recommended that lakeshore density be limited and that the natural system of wetlands and marshes be forever protected and preserved as the only practical,economic method of filtering nutrients from storm water runoff. Implementation of density limitations relies on breaking the "Urbanization Spiral", the development paradox that results from providing urban-level municipal services for new development. The paradox is that if municipal services are extended into rural zones, the cost of these services taxes the land to the point that higher density development is required. Particularly in the case of sewers, even if extended to City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 1, Page 3 CMP Part 1. Introduction existing pockets of development "to solve a pollution problem", inflation, topography and sparse settlement combine to increase costs. Such costs can be paid only by increasing development densities, which in turn cause increasing levels of storm water nutrient pollution. This spiral results in even greater levels of pollution than the original sewage 'problem' might have been. For example, Eugene Hickock's 1973 Storm Water Impact Statement for the Metropolitan Council identified up to 10 times more phosphorus alone from urban storm water runoff than from Orono's low-density rural land use. In response to the above concerns, Orono became a nationally recognized leader in espousing environmental protection. Land use planning since the 1950's has stressed the environmental advantages of low density development. Shorelands, wetlands and natural drainage systems have been preserved by tradition and by ordinance. Comprehensive planning was underway by the mid-1960s. In 1974, the first published Plan,as approved by the Metropolitan Council,established as its foremost guiding principle the protection and preservation of Lake Minnetonka and its associated wetlands. The 1980 Community Management Plan and its subsequent 2000-2020 update reinforced these principles and have served as the basis for management of development in Orono for the past three decades.

Orono has consistently made the decision to limit the extension of urban services into rural areas. The combination of low density residential development, establishment of privately owned and maintained roads, and use of septic systems and wells has provided Orono with unique and sustainable neighborhoods that are not only self-sufficient but collectively have a low environmental impact. Enforcement of the policies necessary to create and maintain these rural neighborhoods has been consistent and effective. Today, Orono still faces the same issues as other outlying communities, although Orono is no longer the 'outer ring'that it was 20-30 years ago.Development pressures continue as speculators view our remaining open spaces seeking to put them to a "highest and best use". The Metropolitan Council has recognized an City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 1, Page 4 CMP Part 1. Introduction urgency to curtail "Urban Sprawl"by making more efficient use of the remaining undeveloped land within the 7-county Metro area. Yet Orono has an obligation to its residents,both those who live on the Lake and those who reside in the rural area, to preserve these two complementary lifestyles. Orono accepts its obligation to the citizens of Minnesota who treasure Lake Minnetonka as a unique and valuable natural resource and who expect it to remain in a usable condition.Orono's ongoing plan to preserve the watershed of Lake Minnetonka is sound,environmentally correct,and in step with regional planning for metropolitan needs. COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT PLAN ORGANIZATION This document has been divided into six parts in order to make it more readable and understandable to citizens and other interested parties: Part 1 forms a brief introduction and overview of planning concerns. Part 2 provides a foundation for Orono's plan -the history, community philosophy and general goals and policies that have shaped and will continue to guide Orono's planning strategy. Part 3 encompasses Orono's Land Use Plan,defining how Orono will develop in the coming two decades, and defining Orono's housing and environmental protection programs. Part 4 contains detailed plans for how Orono will provide a balanced and appropriate level of public facilities and services, addressing transportation systems, sewer and water facilities, parks and open spaces, and the broad range of community services such as public safety, education, private utility and communications systems. Part 5 contains a brief description of ordinances and programs for implementation of the Plan, and expresses the City's commitment to coordination of services and programs with surrounding municipalities as well as other governmental agencies.

Community Management Plan Foundation CMP PART 2 COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOUNDATION HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Every community has a unique character arising from its location, natural resources, history and population. Orono is no exception to this rule.But Orono's plan for the future may be exceptional,because its basic premise is the maintenance and furtherance of our very own unique features. Orono's corporate history dates to 1858 when Minnesota became a state, and western Hennepin County was surveyed and divided into townships. All of Orono south of Watertown Road was located in Excelsior Township, with the area north of Watertown Road being located in Medina Township. But the citizens of Orono, few as they were, found the going difficult in having to negotiate the lake in order to transact business in far away Excelsior. So, in 1868, the townships were realigned with everything north of the Narrows becoming part of Medina. The separate Township of Orono was created out of the southern half of Medina on April 9, 1889. The name Orono was brought to the area by Major George Brackett, a native of Orono, Maine, who first used it to designate the area now known as Brackett's Point. Orono Township once included areas now part of neighboring cities. Minnetonka Beach was incorporated out of Medina Township in 1884. Long Lake was incorporated from Orono Township in 1906. Long Lake expanded, Wayzata grew westward, and then Spring Park was incorporated in 1952. Finally, effective January 1, 1955, Orono Village was incorporated encompassing all the remaining parts of the township including the settlements of Navarre, Crystal Bay, Orono and Bederwood (Stubbs Bay). A number of minor boundary changes have occurred since then, including detachment of the tip of Three Points Peninsula to Mound in 1963; annexation of small strip from Minnetrista in 1980 for McCulley Road; detachment of the Fleming Trail Addition to Long Lake in 1993; and annexation of property along North Ferndale and West Ferndale Roads from Wayzata in 1994 in exchange for detachment of a property along Highway 12 to accommodate Wayzata's public works facilities. The history of Orono's development is one of conversions:conversion of the Lake Minnetonka shoreline from Big Woods to summer homes in the late 1800's and early 1900's,a second conversion from lakeshore summer homes to year round residences since WWII; and conversion of the off-lake woods and prairie openings into farmland in the 19th century, with a more recent conversion from farms to low-density residential homesites beginning in the 1950's. Orono's first Township zoning regulations were adopted in 1950, and grew progressively more strict through the next two decades. Several residential and commercial zones were initially established, requiring minimum lot area and width standards, and defining allowable uses.The first wetland protection ordinance was established in 1963, about the same time that municipal sewers were first provided to the Navarre area. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 3 CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation Perhaps the single most important event that has shaped Orono's development in the last half-century was the City-wide rezoning in 1975. Much of the City had been zoned for residential development with 1-acre lots by 1967, with most of the Navarre area around Lake Minnetonka being zoned 1/2-acre, and a few areas in northeast Orono requiring 1-1/2 or 2-acre lot sizes. The 1975 rezoning took into account two important factors. First, that creating and maintaining a low density of development in the watershed is critical to preserving Lake Minnetonka; and second, that lots must be large enough to accommodate on- site sewage treatment systems on a permanent basis,due to the high cost of sewering and the "urbanization spiral". As a result, the 1975 rezoning established a minimum lot size of 2 acres (or 5 acres in northwest Orono) for 80% of Orono's land area. This had a dramatic effect not only in slowing development, but in effect capping the City's ultimate potential population at around 10,000 rather than the 30-40,000 that had been predicted under typical suburban development scenarios.

Community Management Plan Foundation COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE The population of Orono was estimated by the Met Council in 2016 as 7,691. This represents an increase of 254 people since 2010. Total number of households was estimated to be 3,037 in 2016, and increase from the 2,826 households reported in 2010. The persons per household has decreased steadily since 1970, then a high of 3.43 persons per household to 2.529 estimated now. The following Cehart 2-1 illustrates Orono's relatively rapid growth during the period 1920-1950 (averaging around 60% per decade); a decline in the rate of growth from 1950 to 1970 (slowing to 20% per decade); and relatively slow growth since 1970 (less than 5%per decade). This slow rate of growth is expected to continue for the next 20 years based on the City's current zoning and planned land use and the amount of undeveloped property. Orono is primarily a bedroom community,with 70%of its land area guided for residential use. Annual population increases over the last 30 years have averaged less than 1% per year. Table 2-2 shows this growth in Households, Population, and Employment since 1970.

Among cities that have a smaller geographic area that has been developed for many years (Long Lake, Mound, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, Wayzata) the population increase over the period 1970- 2010 has been relatively small, ranging from 0%-20%,with Spring Park being the anomaly in that it grew by nearly 54%, due to the construction of many multi-family housing units. Among those cities that have a larger geographic area approaching township size, the population increase for Independence, Minnetrista, & Medina was approximately 77 to 122%, with Plymouth and Orono at opposite ends of a much wider range. While Plymouth more than quadrupled its population over 30 years,Orono's increased by only 10%.

Orono will retain its own special identity through careful growth management in the best interest of the environment, the natural resources, the watershed of Lake Minnetonka and the community of citizens, both present and future. Orono's past growth and development patterns have been greatly influenced by the extensive and varied natural features found within our borders.Map Map 3B-2a in the Land Use Section of this Plan 5 indicates the pattern of land use as it exists today. It is apparent that development has been drawn by the lakes and clustered by the many bays and marshes. The most significant resource is Lake Minnetonka. The largest lake in the metropolitan Twin Cities area, Minnetonka has 22.4 square miles of surface area and approximately 130 miles of shoreline running along numerous bays, channels and inlets. Lake Minnetonka's watershed, including the Lake itself, encompasses 123 square miles, and approximately 1/5 of the contributing watershed lies in Orono. Orono has two distinct personalities: The historically developed lakeshore and the rural woods, fields and open spaces. Both areas are primarily residential in nature, relying upon the existing town center of Navarre and other nearby cities such as Long Lake, Spring Park, Wayzata, Mound and Maple Plain for shopping, employment, and entertainment activities. The concern of the residents is to provide for continuing maintenance and preservation of those natural resources and social amenities which attracted people to Orono in the first place. Near the lake, density of development has to be regulated in order to minimize the resultant stormwater runoff pollution which, if unrestricted, could permanently alter and destroy the ecology of this very unique resource. Away from the lake,the natural marshes and wetlands are to be protected as the primary and most practical method of storm water filtration and enhancement. Steep slopes will be protected from over-development and erosion. Woodlands will be preserved as wildlife habitat, erosion protection, noise barriers and places for personal solitude and contentment. Orono's primary goal of preserving the water quality and level of Lake Minnetonka can only be accomplished by maintaining the basic integrity of the natural watershed. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 11 CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation Open space is to be cherished and protected. In urbanized areas, recreational needs go hand-in-hand with the necessities of light, air, and solar access. Views of the lakeshore are invaluable property rights and personal experiences. In rural areas, the open fields and pastures are witness to the rural lifestyles active in Orono, and each property owner has the ability to provide for his own varied recreational needs. Institutional and commercial needs have been met by the existing centers with no need for future expansion. The geographic relationships between the many lake area communities expand the services available to Orono residents beyond the City's borders.The many industrial,retail-commercial and health care facilities readily accessible locally and regionally are adequate to serve the needs of Orono residents. School populations are increasing slowly, and new technologies and program demands require some expansion of existing facilities but no new centers. Orono's population growth has been historically slow, allowing for gradual service increases and fiscal security. Public facilities have been provided and will continue to be improved at a level sufficient for protection of health and safety, but unobtrusively enough to allow continued self- independence and maintenance of rural lifestyles. The basic philosophies of the CMP are to the extent possible consistent with the policies and guidelines contained in the Metropolitan Council's "2040 Regional Development Framework". Future urban density in the urban area along the lake is to be in-fill development where existing urban services are available. Rural land use in the low-density residential lakeshore areas and in the area away from the lake, is to be free from expanded urban services except when necessary to protect the public health or to eliminate negative impacts to surface and groundwaters. In all neighborhoods,provisions are made for protection of environmental assets and for provision of open space and recreational amenities. Housing opportunities in and near Orono are available in a wide range of alternatives consistent with the availability of public services. Existing and planned sewer and transportation facilities are capable of servicing the planned density of development, and land use patterns are consistent with and complementary to those of neighboring cities. Orono's managed growth policy means that the need to use and enjoy Lake Minnetonka will be balanced with protection of its water quality and accessibility for future generations. This policy means that the acceptance of growth and development changes will be balanced with conservation of our resources and natural amenities, and maintenance of our small town social character. Orono intends to remain two communities in one. The historically developed area around and near the Lake Minnetonka shoreline has been called "Urban" because of historic developed density with lots typically one acre in area or smaller and the availability of a limited level of urban services.The area away from the Lake has been termed "Rural" because of the lack of density, the abundance of open space and the citizens' commitment to maintain this type of development. The majority of Orono's 'Rural Area' has been zoned to require a minimum of 2 acres of dry buildable land per residential lot, with an area in the northwest corner of the City requiring at least 5 dry buildable acres. When wetlands and roads are factored in, nearly 80%of the City's land will be developed at densities averaging from approximately 1 unit per 3 gross acres up-to 1 unit per 7 gross acres, sufficient to meet the City's environmental protection goals. The Metropolitan Urban Service Area ("MUSA") was established by Metropolitan Council to define the extent of areas where urban services will be provided and urban scale development will occur. As part of its Metro 2040 Regional Growth Strategy developed in 1996, Metropolitan Council for discussion purposes suggested that all but the northwestern tip of Orono will be in the MUSA by 2020. However,the City Council in the City's 2000-2020 CMP included a much smaller area within the MUSA(Map 4C 2) to be consistent with the extent of City-planned municipal sewer extensions, and to be consistent with the City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2,Page 12 CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation development plans of our neighboring municipalities. Map 3B-l2in the Land Use Chapter depicts Orono's defined "Urban" areas (where zoning density will range from 1 unit per acre to as many as 250 units per acre) and its "Rural" areas (where ultimate developed density will range from 1 unit per 5 acres to 1 unit per 2 acres). Orono's 2010-2030 MUSA as approved by Met Council in 2008 reflect a clear intent to bring municipal sewer to lakeshore and shoreland areas where needed, as well as to existing concentrations of population where septic systems may not be suitable for the long-term. But most of all, Orono citizens have located the MUSA line and have defined the urban and rural areas to be consistent with their plans for permanent use and development of the City. COMMUNITY GOALS AND POLICIES The goals and policies of this plan have met the test of time in Orono.The basic premise of maintaining distinct urban and rural neighborhoods continues a hundred-year tradition. The commitment to environmental preservation remains uppermost in the list of priorities of Orono's residents. The inter- reliance of lake area communities for shopping and commercial needs, for housing variety and for provision of basic public services is both historic and economically practical. The following goals and policies reflect the basic philosophies of Orono. Goals and policies affecting the entire City are grouped in an "overall" category. In addition, more detailed goals and policies are separated under their appropriate "urban" or "rural"classification. Finally,each separate CMP chapter has detailed goals and policies relating to that particular subject. GENERAL GOALS AND POLICIES Orono's Planning Goals 1. The foremost guiding principle and goal of Orono's planning is to protect and preserve Lake Minnetonka, and all Lakes and natural resources, its water quality, and its recreational assets. This goal continues a commitment established half a century ago. It includes preservation of the associated marshes, wetlands and natural drainageways as the primary, most practical and cost efficient method of preventing flooding and of filtering out the nutrient pollution from stormwater runoff. Maintaining a low-density rural area away from the lake, and managing the quality of runoff that flows directly to the lake, are important elements of this goal. 2. To retain the existing urban-rural land use pattern on a permanent basis. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 13 CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation 3. To maintain our local character and identity. This local character is defined by strong neighborhoods, preponderance of wildlife, open spaces, lakes, and wetlands. 4. To protect and preserve our many natural resources including all lakes, creeks, marshes,wetlands,woodlands, groundwater and steep slopes. 5. To preserve open space, light, air, and solar access for all citizens while maintaining night sky. 6. To protect the general public health, safety and welfare through the development of ordinances, policies, and infrastructure that provides safe, efficient streets and neighborhoods, transportation alternatives, parks and opens spaces. 7. To guide investment and reinvestment in the City at densities consistent with environmental protection and the planned land use pattern. The city's focus is in development and redevelopment is preservation of established character, rather than the creation of a new character. 8. To protect the financial stability of the City, providing an adequate level of services at efficient cost to the taxpayer. Orono's Planning Policies 1. Future development will be guided to protect and enhance the Lake Minnetonka watershed. Lake Minnetonka has local and regional significance as a vital ingredient in human experience and in the quality of life of all Orono residents. No development will be permitted that would have a detrimental effect on the Lake. 2. Urbanization will not be expanded into the existing rural areas. Orono's Community Management Plan is not a staged growth plan, and therefore the Urban area will not be expanded into the Rural Area.Urban services will not be expanded into the Rural Area except when necessary to protect the public health, or to avoid or eliminate negative impacts to surface and groundwaters. 3. The existing and planned Urban Area is fixed. Orono's Urban Area is fixed by the various elements of the Community Management Plan, and is shown on Map 3B-12. 4. The boundary between Orono's Urban and Rural areas is not strictly defined by the MUSA boundary. The boundary between Orono's Urban and Rural areas is defined by the density of development and level of public services intended to be provided. Orono will not define its Urban and Rural areas based merely on whether municipal sewer is provided. The MUSA boundary has been amended by the City in the past to allow for retrofitting of existing Rural Area neighborhoods with municipal sewer, to solve existing sewage treatment problems. In these areas, the zoning has not changed to allow for additional development at urban densities, and urban services other than sewer have not been provided. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 14 CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation 5. Future expansions of the sewer system into the Rural Area to solve existing neighborhood sewage treatment problems or along the lakeshore to avoid or eliminate potential negative impacts on lake water quality will not result in a reclassification of those neighborhoods from Rural to Urban. Expansion of the sewer system into the Rural Area will not result in the provision of additional urban services, nor will it result in changes to allowed development densities. 6. Additional urban development will occur only in the designated Urban Area. Additional urban development will occur in the urbanized areas consistent with the capacities of the existing urban services and at limited densities consistent with all environmental constraints. 7. Additional rural development will occur in the designated Rural Area. Additional rural residential and quasi-agricultural development can occur in the rural areas without taxing the limited capacities of existing rural services. Rural development will occur at limited densities consistent with self-supporting on-site sewer and water services and with maintenance of natural amenities, open space and other rural community characteristics. 8. Natural features and sensitive environments will be protected by ordinances based upon extensive inventory, analysis and established environmental protection guidelines. Natural resource information will be used and evaluated in review of all significant land use developments. Ordinance provisions will be reasonably established, fairly interpreted and strictly enforced. 9. Historically significant buildings, places and settings will be identified and preserved. The character of Orono receives much of its identity from our unique pattern of development. Individual sites provide a glimpse into the past and are a valuable addition to Orono Character. These sites include the Orono Golf Course, and the Pillsbury Summer House. Programs will be established to identify and help preserve this heritage for future generations. Where necessary, special consideration will be made to encourage retention of significant public or private amenities. 10. Housing programs will be pursued to provide safe, affordable homes for all citizens. Housing opportunities will be provided for citizens of all ages and income levels either within Orono or within the adjacent town centers of Long Lake and Spring Park where the necessary support services for a wider range of housing opportunities are readily available.Rehabilitation programs will be identified and stressed to increase the livability and energy efficiency of the existing housing stock. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 15 CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation 11. Transportation facilities will be provided and improved consistent with local service needs and with a coordinated program of area-wide transportation priorities. Transportation planning will be sensitive to local land use and environmental concerns, and to local service needs. Through traffic adds significant traffic level through limited corridors through the lake region. The city will encourage its transportation partners to develop and implement improvements and transportation alternatives to ensure safe and efficient travel. Levels of maintenance will vary between urban and rural areas. Alternative routings and alternative transportation modes will be explored. 12 Programs and services will be coordinated between the many interrelated governmental agencies. Orono will continue to pursue coordinated services with the County, with adjacent municipalities, with the school districts and with specialized districts such as lake conservation, watershed or joint powers districts, all for the purpose of providing consistent,high quality services at affordable cost to the taxpayer. 13. Orono strives to establish a low profile governmental presence emphasizing individual citizen responsibility rather than over- inclusive governmental authority. Orono recognizes that the individual citizen often can do for himself more quickly, efficiently and at lesser cost, things that in other areas are left to government by default. It is here that the strength of the Orono citizens has its most direct benefit in maintaining our rural, small-town vitality. 14. Orono will continue to emphasize active citizen participation in policy formation and policy administration. Local meetings have always had the friendly, open-door characteristic of New England Town Meetings. Communication with the residents, both on general matters and on specific neighborhood development proposals, will continue to be a priority policy of this Plan and of this City. Education will continue to be a critical element in establishment and administration of City policies. 15. It is Orono's firm conviction that the goals, policies and programs outlined in this CMP undeniably in the best interests of all Orono citizens, both current and future. This Plan emphasizes full use of existing public services and facilities without leap-frog expansion of unnecessary services into Orono's rural areas. This Plan reinforces the national concern for energy conservation through retrofitting and rehabilitation of existing structures, through coordinated transportation planning and through emphasis on natural rather than mechanical solutions to storm water and waste water treatment. This Plan emphasizes reliance on and efficient use of natural features and existing services rather than arbitrary duplication of efforts between competing municipalities. This Plan is built on understanding and acceptance of Orono's unique location and environmental constraints. Working with these factors will improve our quality of life; ignoring them would destroy it. This plan serves future residents of Orono through the preserve and enhancement of the uniqueness of Orono. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 16 CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation Urban Area Goals And Policies Urban Community Goals 1. To maintain the identity and small town character of the individual neighborhoods. Urban developments will be developed to continue the architecturally diverse house pattern previously established. 2. To provide opportunities for neighborhood commerce, education and social facilities to serve Orono's urban and rural residents alike. 3. To improve the quality of life and neighborhood aesthetics while maintaining the existing diversity of housing and shopping opportunities. 4. To prevent overly dense development or any excessive demand for services which would in any way adversely affect Lake Minnetonka or its associated wetlands or drainage areas. 5. To provide municipal facilities and services at a level consistent with small town urban requirements. Urban Planning Policies 1. Future urban development will be carefully integrated into the existing neighborhoods. 2. The City will encourage commercial facilities and social centers that complement the existing available services.The city recognizes the value commercial facilities and social centers have on the quality of life for Orono residents. The City will favor those developments oriented toward local neighborhood needs, recognizing the integrated service area of all adjoining lake-area communities. 3. Private landowners and developers will be encouraged to improve the image of their neighborhoods.Programs will be pursued to encourage maintenance and upkeep of all properties and to promote the rehabilitation of older or under-used properties. Commercial areas will be encouraged to provide a coordinated approach to identity, aesthetic and neighborhood appeal. 4. Urban developments will be screened for environmental sensitivity. Most of Orono's urban neighborhoods are located very close to Lake Minnetonka;therefore any urban development has the potential for direct adverse impact on the lake. Storm water runoff control, erosion and sedimentation are particular concerns requiring careful design attention in all new urban developments. In addition, particular care will be taken to preserve open spaces, wooded areas and solar access. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 17 CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation 5. Urban developments will be limited to the extent that they can be adequately served by the existing or planned public facilities and services. New development will not be permitted to exceed the existing or planned capacity of local roads, utilities, parks, police and fire protection. Where development within the urban area requires local extension of roads or utilities, such extension will be the full responsibility of the developer, not the general taxpayer. 6. Higher levels of public services will be provided in the urban area than in the rural area. The greater land use density and the greater number of residents combine to require more intensive levels of public services. Police, fire, and ambulance calls are more frequent. Roads,parking lots, parks, and playgrounds require more maintenance. Public sewer and water is necessary because of population density and proximity to the lake. All of these factors combine to increase the cost of government in the urban portions of the city. Rural Area Goals And Policies Rural Community Goals 1. To maintain the rural character of open spaces and closeness to the natural environment. 2 To retain the opportunity for rural commerce such as farming, orchards, greenhouses, stables and similar activities which require limited services but relatively large amounts of open space. 3. To retain the opportunity for a diversity of housing types and alternative use expectations. 4. To prevent the encroachment of urban development or any activity which would in any way adversely affect Lake Minnetonka or its associated watershed. 5. To evaluate public service requests so as to limit the financial burdens on the community and the landowners alike. Rural Planning Policies 1. Future rural developments will be guided so as to have minimal impact on the land or on the existing rural neighborhoods. Rural developments will be permitted only at rural densities and only where the land is capable of self-supporting the necessary on-site sewer and water services. Care will be exercised to ensure that no new development encroaches upon its neighbor's open space activities. 2. Rural neighborhoods will be reserved for low-density residential and quasi- agricultural land uses. Commercial services will continue to be provided in the urban areas of Orono and adjoining municipalities.No new commercial or industrial activities will be permitted in the rural service area except those quasi-agricultural uses that do not require central sewer or other urban services. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 18 CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation 3. Rural developments will be screened for environmental sensitivity. Most of Orono's rural land includes major or minor drainageways and wetlands all intricately tied to Lake Minnetonka.Therefore,each rural development will require particular care to prevent encroachment on these vital resources and to ensure protection of the soil vegetation and drainage patterns. In addition, consideration will be given to protection of woodlands and special open vistas having general public benefit, as well as protection and enhancement of drainageways and water quality; protection and enhancement of ecological communities; reinforcement and establishment of ecological connections throughout the City; augmentation and preservation of enclosure and buffering; preservation and improvement of views; and preservation or reinterpretation of local landmarks. 4. Rural developments will be limited to the extent that they can be served by the existing or planned public facilities and services. New development will not be permitted if it requires the extension of unplanned urban services into the rural area. Privately constructed and maintained roads and recreational facilities will be favored over requirements for additional public facilities. Buildings and structures must be located and designed for rural levels of police and fire protection. 5. Special planning considerations are required for those rural areas located on Lake Minnetonka islands. It is impossible for the City to provide island residents with normal public services such as police, fire, ambulance, sanitation or transportation. Therefore,all of these needs must be met by the individual property owners who choose to develop land on the islands. Because of this combination of factors, the City has determined that private island development must be managed in a manner that allows for private individual use of recreational property only in strict compliance with enhanced development and environmental performance standards applicable specifically to the islands.

Environmental Protection Plan CMP PART 3(A) ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PLAN The presence and character of relatively undisturbed natural resource areas including lakes, marshes, wetlands, and woodlands is a major factor affecting the character of Orono. LAKE MINNETONKA • Lake Minnetonka is the single most significant natural feature in Orono and in the entire western part of Hennepin County.Lake Minnetonka,as shown on Map 3A-1,is actually a series of separate lakes or"bays" interconnected by narrows or channels. The outlet of Lake Minnetonka is at Gray's Bay in the City of Minnetonka, where it discharges to Minnehaha Creek which eventually flows into the Mississippi River. • Lake Minnetonka has substantial public value as a recreational asset, as an environmental resource and as a setting for private residential development. • Lake Minnetonka is dependent upon watershed runoff for all replenishment. bake Minnetonka is not fed by any spring or river inlet. All water is received from precipitation falling within the immediate watershed. Most of this water enters the Lake by direct runoff through a series of five major streams and their associated lakes, marshland and sub-watersheds. • Lake Minnetonka's ecology makes it easily susceptible to pollution hazards. The combination of a single-source local water supply, relatively small watershed area, many channel restrictions between separate bays, and a single outlet, have resulted in Lake Minnetonka having an extremely long 25-year flush out period for complete water change. The hazard is that once pollutants enter the Lake,they tend to remain for a long time and they are not easily diluted. • Lake Minnetonka has historically suffered from two problems which directly affect its environmental health and its value as a public amenity. One problem which has been worsening with urbanization trends is a deterioration in water quality caused by eutrophication. Eutrophication is the aging process by which natural waters are enriched with nutrients that may stimulate excessive plant growth, including floating algae, attached algae, and rooted weeds. Eutrophication may occur naturally, as sediments accumulate in lake basins over geologic time or it may be induced artificially as a result of human activities,as in Lake Minnetonka. Much of Lake Minnetonka has become more eutrophic during the past century, but sedimentation has been negligible. Instead, the accelerated eutrophication of the Lake, which is due to increased inputs of nutrient elements, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen, is evidenced by the increased growth of algae and weeds. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 2 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan • The other problem is hydrologic instability.Because the lake level is dependent upon precipitation, wide ranges in water elevation have occurred over the years. During the 1930's, a general drought left the lake below normal level for 11 years with a maximum decline of more than 6 feet. • In recent years,however,more urbanization has increased the amounts of direct storm water runoff resulting in high water levels and in some cases flooding problems for low-lying properties. Management of runoff and protection of water quality have now become primary objectives of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Map 3A-1 illustrates Lake Minnetonka's relationship with the city of Orono. • The problems of Lake Minnetonka were intensively studied by many agencies in the 1960's and 1970's. These agencies included the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Metropolitan Council, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District,the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and the City of Orono. The major publications addressing Minnetonka's problems and which formed the basis for the goals and policies of Orono's 1980, 2000-2020, and 2010-2030 CMPs, and this update, are as follows: 1969 Overall Plan for Water Management; MCWD 1971 "Harza Study", A Program for Preserving the Quality of Lake Minnetonka; LMCD & Mn. PCA 1973 Shoreland Management Regulations of the Mn. DNR 1973 Stormwater Impact Investigation for the Metropolitan Council 1974 Surface Water Management Plan for the City of Orono 1979 208 Water Quality Management Plan for the Metropolitan Council • Orono's special involvement with Lake Minnetonka is based upon the real concerns of our affected citizens and our intimate and important impact on the total lake environment.While Orono's population is not as large as that of other municipalities in the Lake Minnetonka Watershed, Orono does have the largest land area and potential environmental impact of any local unit of government. Orono is the largest city totally within the Watershed. Orono has one-sixth of the total dry land in the watershed, one-eighth of the wetlands and one-third of the lake surface. Orono encompasses one-third of Lake Minnetonka's total shoreline. Over 30% of the total Watershed's surface runoff flows through or from Orono on its way to the Lake. No other community has the same potential as Orono for affecting Lake Minnetonka's water quality or water quantity,therefore, no other single community has as heavy a responsibility for careful protection of this general resource as Orono.

Environmental Protection Plan Lydiard Lake is the most rural of Orono's lakes, being surrounded by heavily wooded rolling hills. Dickey's Lake has become surrounded by low density residential development over the past 30 years. Lake Classen is surrounded by orchards, woods and open fields with a handful of homes overlooking its' waters. The Orono School District maintains a nature study area and waterfowl ponds on Classen's east shore. Mooney Lake's shore is relatively undeveloped in Orono and Medina, but the lake's watershed has received growing pressures from urbanization in Plymouth, including usage conflicts, elevation concerns due to lack of a natural outlet, and urban storm water pollution inflow. Long Lake is the second largest and 2nd most actively used lake in Orono :--'-: . - '- -- . :. The east and west shores have been developed at rural residential densities. The north shore has mixed rural residential areas and one denser housing cluster dating from the 1930's. The south shore is bordered by the City of Long Lake and is urbanized to the same degree as much of Lake Minnetonka. Long Lake has experienced storm water problems as well as increased usage pressures. In recent years, the expansion of Carp and other fish have suspended solids, degrading water quality. The Cities of Medina, Long Lake, and Orono have agreed to study the issue. Orono also has identified a number of protected tributary streams which are subject to Shoreland regulations. These are shown in the following table: Table 3A-3: Protected Tributary treatns Tributary Name From: To: Section Township Range Section Township Range Long Lake Creek 35 (Basin 160-P) 118 23 10(Basin 141-P) 117 23 "Wolsfeld"Creek 27(City limit) 118 23 26(Basin 160-P) 118 23 Tributary to Wolsfeld Creek 26(City limit) 118 23 27 118 23 from Holy Name Lake Dickeys Lake Creek 27(Basin 161-P) 118 23 34(Basin 160-P) 118 23 Stubbs Bay Creek(aka 32(Basin 162-P) 118 23 5 (Basin 133-P) 117 23 Classen Creek) Painter's Creek 30(Basin 154-P) 118 23 31 (City limit) 118 23 The second most significant and most universal natural amenity in Orono is its many wetlands and marshlands comprising Lake Minnetonka's upland drainage system. Orono's nearly 1600 acres of marshland and wetlands comprise fully one-sixth of the City's land area. Map 3A-2 indicates how the marshland and drainageways are scattered throughout the City. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 5 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan These natural ponding areas serve an integral function within the natural ecological system of Lake Minnetonka. The "Harza Study" includes quantitative data identifying how the wetland soils easily retain phosphorus,and how marsh plants take up and incorporate large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus into their growing tissue. Thus,the marshlands are the primary pollution filters for Lake Minnetonka's surface water runoff. Since marshes and small lakes in the watershed aggregate nearly as much area as the main body of Lake Minnetonka, their potential for supplying water to the subsurface formations is appreciable. In addition, marshes provide diversity in the kinds of open space available within the region. They provide a habitat which is uniquely suited for certain birds and mammals. They can be utilized to provide storage of storm runoff with minimal disruption to their function as a habitat for wildlife and their ability to reduce the phosphorus input to the lake. Development Impacts on Wetlands. When urban development occurs, the function of the natural drainageways and filtration system is adversely affected in three ways: The speed and quantity of the storm water runoff are increased as the absorption ability of the land is eliminated with hardcover(houses, driveways, roads, etc.). This increase in the speed and quantity of storm water runoff causes the third adverse effect, which is the increase of the amount of nutrients which are contained in the storm water runoff which now has less time in the natural marsh filtration system to be purified before entering the lake.Nutrients contained in dying vegetation,lawn fertilizers,and from other urban sources are discharged into the lake faster and in greater quantities as the level of urbanization increases. (Harza Study) Orono does not rely solely on the ability of the natural filtration system of the marshes and drainageways to purify storm water so necessary for the preservation of Lake Minnetonka. Supplementary Stormwater Ponding & Alternatives. While Orono's Surface Water Management Plan adopted in 2002 places a significant emphasis on preservation of wetlands, it also provides for the establishment of supplementary stormwater management ponds to help counteract the impacts of development within the watershed. NURP (National Urban Runoff Program) pond design criteria are primarily based on the removal of suspended particles such as sand, silt, etc. Secondary design criteria enhance the capability of NURP ponds to remove other pollutants such as trace metals, hydrocarbons, nutrients (such as phosphorus) and pesticides. Phosphorus is mainly removed through biological uptake in algae and aquatic plants. When the algae die, the nutrients fall to the bottom of the pond and become part of the sediments. Ponds in the Twin Cities area designed according to NURP standards have total phosphorus removal efficiencies of 47 to 68 percent according to Walker.Possibilities for improving this include(1)increasing mean pond depth; (2)promoting infiltration; (3)promoting plug flow conditions(i.e.multiple cell ponds); (4) applying chemicals to precipitate out the orthophosphorus (alum treatments); (5) encouraging growth of certain aquatic plants; and (6) design of outlet structure to provide extended detention of large runoff events. Whether each of these enhancements can or should be incorporated is dependent on the desired level of control and other site specific conditions. Constructed wetlands have potential benefits as well as drawbacks. Additionally,the cost of constructing stormwater ponds and storm sewer systems is enormous compared to the cost of wetland preservation. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 6 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan Vegetated buffers, green strips adjacent to hard surfaces, permeable pavements that incorporate runoff treatment features, and rain gardens are just some of the additional tools available for supplementing runoff management. Nutrient management technologies such as NURP ponds or alum treatments will give Orono an added tool to manage runoff from rural densities, but Orono will not rely solely on man-made systems for preserving water quality. ORONO'S NATURAL RESOURCES Soils Orono's land forms are highly varied as the result of four separate glacial scourings. Surface features include islands, peninsulas, narrow land bridges, the lakes, bays and marshes, and a few shallow outwash basins. The highest elevations range from about 1060 feet above mean sea level in the northern part of the City down to the normal water level of Lake Minnetonka at elevation 929.4 MSL. The soils in the City of Orono (Map 3A-3)originated from drift materials deposited by meltwaters of the glaciers.Generally,the soil types consist primarily of clay and loam materials on the uplands and organic, wet materials in the lowland areas. Consequently, the ability of each soil type to adequately accommodate development varies considerably in Orono. Careful examination of each site is needed to determine the most appropriate land use for individual properties. Map 3A-3 references 7 different classes of soils. These classes are: Group A soils have a high infiltration rate and low runoff. These soils consist of deep, well drained sands or gravelly sands and have a high rate of water transmission. Group B soils have a moderate infiltration rate. This group consists chiefly of deep well drained soils with a moderately fine to moderately coarse texture and a moderate rate of water transmission. Group C soils have a slow infiltration rate. This group consists of soils with a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or fine textured soils and a slow rate of water transmission. Group D soils have a very slow infiltration rate and high runoff potential. This group is composed of clays that have a high shrink-swell potential, soils with a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission. If a soil is placed in group D because of a high water table it may be assigned to a dual hydrologic group: A/D, B/D, or C/D. The first letter of the pair represents the soil's group if drained and the D represents the natural condition. Orono's native vegetation is primarily woodland interspersed with localized areas of wet City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 7 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan prairie marshlands. Northern Orono and many areas along Lake Minnetonka's shore; contain vestiges of Minnesota's Big Woods with hardwood forests of oak, maple, elm, and basswood. Much of these have been thinned into scattered stands, as shown on Map 3A-4, but major forests remain in north central and north east Orono,especially around Lydiard Lake and in the MNDNR's Wolsfeld Woods and Wood Rill nature areas. In addition, 100 year old settlements have by now added mature stands of various evergreens and other decorative trees and shrubs. Tree Preservation Policy 1. The City finds that its trees and woodlands provide numerous benefits including: soil stabilization, reduction of storm water runoff, improvement of air quality, reduction of noise pollution, protection and increase of property values, privacy, energy conservation through natural insulation, and natural habitat for birds and other wildlife. 2. It is the City's policy to preserve and protect significant trees, stands of trees and wooded buffer areas. 3. The City will study whether adoption of additional tree protection and replacement ordinances is necessary to accomplish these goals. 4. The eradication of exotic vegetation species such as buckthorn will be encouraged in all wooded areas. However, in Shoreland areas where complete removal of buckthorn may leave a relatively bare lakeshore, plans for revegetation may be required. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 8 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan Orono's Ground Water Supplies Orono enjoys the same abundant ground water resources from the Twin Cities artesian basin as does most of the metropolitan area.In addition,our generally heavy clay soil layers near the surface have protected the ground waters from surface pollution. Most areas of the City have had no difficulty obtaining potable water supplies drawn from the Jordan aquifer with wells ranging in depth from 75 to 200 feet. Only occasional wells have had to go deeper. Land Cover Summary. In 2006, Hennepin County published the Natural Resource Inventory for Orono which his included here by reference. The land cover classification encompassed the entire incorporated area of the City(approximately 15,400 acres)of which€idly 1/3 is open water. Artificial surfaces, which include residential areas, farmsteads, commercial lands and other areas with greater than four percent impervious surfaces, accounted for an additional 20% of Orono's total area. Forest and woodland cover combined accounted for an additional 20%of Orono, with herbaceous vegetation types (wet meadows, cattail marshes, etc.) and planted-, maintained or cultivated vegetation types (agricultural crops, hayfields, pastures) each comprising 13% of the City.

City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 9 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan Natural Resource Inventory Results. The Inventory identified 358 individual natural community remnants, covering a total of 2,549 acres or approximately one-fourth of Orono's land area. These included eight forest types, one woodland type, two shrubland types, four herbaceous wetland types,and one upland grassland type.Each of the remnants was categorized with regards to quality as either high, good, moderate or low. Nearly half of this acreage (1,148.2 acres) is encompassed in Maple-Basswood Forest remnants ranging in size from 0.2 acres to 113.2 acres. Oak Forests comprise 369 acres, and Lowland Hardwood Forests total 157 acres. Other forest types identified include Aspen Forest (4.4 acres); Tamarack Swamps(25.4 acres); Floodplain Forests(14.5 acres); Black Ash Swamps (56.9 acres); and Mixed Hardwood Swamp (3.1 acres). Oak Woodland/Brushland totals 38.0 acres. Shrublands identified in the inventory include Willow Swamp(30.4 acres) and Alder Swamp (2.8 acres). Herbaceous wetlands documented in the inventory include 568 acres of Cattail Marsh ranging from 0.1 acres to 106.1 acres in size; 11.9 acres of Wet Meadow; 2.5 acres of Poor Fen; and 74.2 acres of Mixed Emergent Marsh. Upland grasslands include Mesic Prairie totaling 29.3 acres. Aggregate Orono does not benefit from aggregate (Sand/ gravel) resources in a commercially viable scale. Consequently, there are no plans to open or allow for aggregate mining within the city of Orono. ORONO AS A "RURAL OASIS" In 2005, the City of Orono commissioned DSU, Inc to quantify several goals intended to preserve the Cities Rural Oasis Identity. That study is retained as an appendix in the 2008-2030 CMP and is incorporated by reference here. The goals and guiding principles identified by that study are highlighted here: Goals Future development in Orono must achieve the following goals: Goal#1: Promote the conservation and enhancement of the quality of surface water and wetlands throughout the city, particularly Lake Minnetonka. Goal#2: Ensure the preservation and enhancement of the existing "rural character" of the city. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 10 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan Guiding Principles In order to guarantee that future development in Orono will achieve the above goals, these "Guiding Principles" for development shall be followed in the City of Orono: Guiding Principle#1: Promote ecologically sensitive stormwater management. Applying an ecologically-based stormwater management system will improve ecosystems by reducing both reliance on manmade infrastructure and reducing downstream runoff of contaminants. Guiding Principle#2: Establish and maintain native ecological communities. Conserving and improving natural and semi-natural areas will provide wildlife habitat and support natural ecological functions (i.e. drainage, filtering, buffering, etc). Guiding Principle#3: Establish and maintain ecological connections. Creating ecological connections will enhance stormwater collection and conveyance, promote ecological and wildlife corridors, and provide recreational opportunities for residents. Guiding Principle#4: Preserve and augment corridor enclosure. Maintaining and improving the extent of roadway corridor enclosures will promote community aesthetics associated with the city's rural character. Guiding Principle#5: Preserve views. Mitigating the visual impacts of development will also preserve the aesthetic elements of the landscape. Guiding Principle#6: Preserve and maintain landmarks and unique points of local character. Preserving distinct cultural features will maintain a familiar sense of place in the community. The city, in the review of this CMP, added a 7th guiding principal: Guiding Principle#7: Continue to work to educate property owners and residents on the effects development and use action has have on the environment and character of the community. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 11 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT Surface Water Management Plan Introduction The City of Orono's 2018 Local Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP)is an update of the 2011 SWMP. This Surface Water Management Plan has been developed to serve as a comprehensive planning document to guide the City of Orono in conserving, protecting, and managing its surface water resources. The SWMP provides an inventory of water resource related information including the results of assessments conducted by other governmental units, both local and state. From this inventory and assessment, Orono sets forth its goals and policies and implementation program. The SWMP also seeks consistency with the goals and policies of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and with the requirements and guidance provided in the Metropolitan Council's 2040 Water Resources Management Policy Plan. Statutory Requirements This SWMP meets the requirements detailed in Minnesota Statutes 103B and Minnesota Rules 8410,administered by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources.Minnesota Statute 103B.201 states that the purposes of the water management programs are to: 1. Protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems; 2. Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems; 3. Identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater quality; 4. Establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and groundwater management; 5. Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems; 6. Promote groundwater recharge; 7. Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and 8. Secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and groundwater. This plan is also consistent with the goals and policies of the Metropolitan Council's 2040 Water Resources Management Policy Plan, and the goals, rules and management objectives of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) with whom Orono partners in its management activities.Though intended to serve Orono until 2028,this plan City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 12 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan may be periodically amended to remain current with local practices and policies and to maintain Orono's compliance with MCWD rules and State of Minnesota laws and rules. NPDES Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Since 2003 Orono has operated its stormwater management program under a permit issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). This permit is called the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit and authorizes Orono to discharge stormwater to waters of the state under certain conditions. Under its permit coverage, Orono has implemented a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program(SWPPP)to addresses the MS4 Permits six minimum control measures, as listed below: 1. Public education 2. Public involvement 3. Illicit discharge detection and elimination 4. Construction site runoff control 5. Post-construction runoff control 6. Pollution prevention in municipal operations The City's SWPPP contains several Best Management Practices within each of the listed control measures.These were identified using a self-evaluation and input process with City staff. Many of the goals and policies discussed in the SWMP are directly related to requirements listed in the NPDES program.As a result,the implementation section of this plan references items listed in the City's SWPPP. Additional information regarding the City's SWPPP Goals,Policies and Strategies The City of Orono highly values the natural resources within its jurisdiction and seeks to protect surface and groundwater storage systems, effectively manage expenditures to correct flooding and water quality problems, prevent erosion into surface waters, promote groundwater recharge, enhance wildlife habitats and water recreational facilities, and improve the water quality of all water resources. Therefore, the city established the following goals. Specific policies and implementation strategies are listed in the SWMP. 1. Maintain or improve the physical, chemical, biological, and aesthetic condition of surface water resources. 2. Develop and implement plans as necessary to reduce pollutant loads for waters that do not meet Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) as approved by the EPA. Coordinate City efforts with applicable Implementation Plans as approved by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 13 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan 3. Minimize and mitigate the impacts of urban stormwater runoff on water resources. 4. Manage and protect wetlands to maximize wetland functions and improve surface water resources. 5. Manage Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems to ensure proper design, installation, operation, maintenance or replacement in order to eliminate health hazards or illicit discharges to water resources. Connect properties with SSTSs to city sanitary sewer as soon as feasible. 6. Manage and protect natural upland areas adjacent to surface water resources to mitigate degradation of surface waters and increase the quantity,quality and biological diversity of natural areas. 7. Protect the quality and quantity of groundwater resources. 8. Provide the public with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to protect and improve surface water and groundwater resources. Implementation Planning SWMP includes a plan for implementation water resource improvements. The plan identify potential projects in the following categories: 1. Stream and shoreline restoration projects. 2. Outlet control structure repair or replacement projects. 3. Localized storage, volume reduction, and water quality improvement sites. 4. Wetland restoration sites 5. Natural upland restoration sites. The projects included will be used for planning purposes and will require further development prior to inclusion in the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT An element of surface water management addressed in the SWMP Goals is the management of flood plains and wetlands. The City of Orono originally adopted a Flood Plain Ordinance in 1970, which has since been revised and updated on a regular basis,most recently with Hennepin County's mapping revision in November, 2016. The principles of flood plain regulation go hand-in-hand with those of stormwater management. The City will be best served by retention of open land uses which would locate permanent structures and artificial obstructions in a manner that would not obstruct the passage of waters nor destroy the natural public waters, marshes and wetlands within the City. The Ordinance is compliant with the rules and regulations of the National Flood Insurance Program City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A,Page 14 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan codified as 44 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 59--78, as amended, so as to maintain the community's eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program. Orono's defined flood plains are depicted on Map 3A-5. SHORELAND MANAGEMENT The City of Orono in 1992 adopted a comprehensive Shoreland Management Ordinance, pursuant to the authorization and policies contained in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 103F, Minnesota Regulations Parts 6120.2500-6120.3900, and the planning and zoning enabling legislation in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462. In 2012,this ordinance was amended to better promote the public health, safety and general welfare by providing for the wise subdivision,use and development of shorelands abutting public waters that exist within the City's corporate boundaries. Orono's defined Shoreland Overlay District is depicted on Map 3A-6. SOLAR ACCESS PROTECTION Minnesota Statutes 473.859 requires that local comprehensive plans include an element for the protection and development of access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems.The City of Orono will protect such access by requiring minimum standards for lot sizes,amounts of open space,yard setbacks,and maximum height of buildings for urban and rural residents. Land uses should not preclude the possible use of solar energy systems. The Metropolitan Council has estimated the City's solar potential as follows: Table 3A-4 Solar Potential ` Rooftop Gross Rooftop Generation Gross Potential Potential Generation Potential Potential (Mwh/yr) (Mwh/yr) (Mwh/yr)2 (Mwh/yr)2 14,656,623 442,509 1,465,662 44,251 Figure 3A-2 displays the City's Solar Suitability Analysis. Protecting solar access means protecting solar collectors (or the location of future collectors)from shading by adjacent structures or vegetation. Existing structures and buildings in the City generally do not present significant shading problems for solar energy systems and the City's promise of open, rural spaces is intended to protect that condition. Most single family attached and detached homes are one or two stories and most multi-family, commercial, and industrial buildings are three stories or less. Solar energy systems and equipment are generally a permitted use if attached to structures.The zoning ordinance provides standards for the protection and establishment of these solar energy systems. While these ordinance standards help protect solar access, it is not possible for every part of a building or lot to obtain unobstructed solar access. Mature trees, topography, and the location of structures can limit solar access. However, on most properties the rooftop of the principal building would be free of shading City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 15 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan by adjacent structures. Therefore, the majority of property owners in the City could utilize solar energy systems, if they so desired, as a supplement or alternative to conventional fuels. It is not desired by the City of Orono to expand solar collection at the expense of clearcutting and wholescale tree removal.

Environmental Protection Plan QUALITY OF LIFE PRESERVATION Orono's primarily residential character has resulted in an environment that is relatively free from the noise pollution of major roadways, the light pollution of commercial and industrial development, and other negative impacts such as odors, vibration, toxic emissions, glare and visual clutter that are common in non-residential areas. The residents of Orono place a high value on the quality of life provided by the lack of such negative impacts. The City of Orono is committed to preserving the qualities that make Orono an attractive residential community while providing an adequate level of the necessary services, commerce and industries required to support the community. Preservation of Dark Skies A key element that adds to the quality of life in Orono is its dark night sky. The ability to view a naturally dark, star-filled sky is a precious resource as valuable as our forested landscapes and our fresh air and clean water. But this inspiring amenity can be easily lost in the presence of inappropriate and unnecessary outdoor lighting. While artificial lighting is necessary for safety and security,the quality of that lighting can have a profound effect on our night-time security and enjoyment. Night Sky Policies 1. The City finds that preservation of the night sky is an important factor in maintaining the quality of life in Orono, and that inappropriate and unnecessary outdoor lighting can lead to glare, light trespass, sky glow and other negative impacts inconsistent with dark skies. 2. Orono will encourage the use of efficient and properly designed outdoor lighting to limit the occurrence of these negative impacts while providing for the necessary levels of safety, security and visibility appropriate to the area being illuminated. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION POLICIES The Goals and Policies of this Chapter are basic to the remaining sections of the Community Management Plan. Without environmental stability, Orono's character and vitality would be lost. With environmental care and concern, Orono citizens expect their forefather's heritage to live on for generations to come. Environmental Protection Goals 1. Preserve, conserve, and enhance the water quality of Lake Minnetonka and all other lakes in Orono. 2. Expand education of the benefits and value of environmental features in Orono. 3. Preserve, conserve, and enhance the City's marshland,wetland and natural drainage system. 4. Provide for surface water management such that the City is protected from both flooding hazards and pollution hazards. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 17 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan 5. Protect the City's ground water resources from pollution and from depletion. 6. Protect the City from air, water and noise pollution. 7. Preserve, conserve, and enhance open space, light and air, including solar access for all properties. 8. Preserve a reasonable amount of native woodlands as an integral part of Orono's heritage. 9. Protect and preserve a reasonable amount of natural wildlife habitat in woodlands and wetlands. 10. Protect the land from soil erosion and the hazards of dust and siltation. 11. Preserve greenways and open space corridors. 12. Promote conservation and enhancement of the quality of surface water and wetlands throughout Orono, particularly Lake Minnetonka. 13. Ensure the preservation and enhancement of the existing "rural character" of the city. 14. Preserve Orono's night skies and minimize light pollution. General Policies For Natural Resource Management 1. Orono will promote and support the formulation and implementation of environmental protection policies by other Lake Minnetonka area municipalities and responsible government agencies. 2 Environmental protection policies will continue to be utilized in the formation of all other goals and policies in this CMP. Orono's commitment to environmental quality is carried throughout each element in this comprehensive plan, coloring the goals, policies and implementation practices in every facet of municipal responsibility. 3. Development density will be limited to a level which will not overload the natural surface water drainage and filtration system. 4. Surface water runoff will be directed through the natural drainage system. Direct runoff into the lake will be avoided and will be prohibited whenever possible. 5. Natural drainageways will be favored over artificial storm sewers. Where storm sewers are needed, all efforts shall be taken to minimize their impacts on receiving waters. 6. The wetlands and marshlands of the city will be protected and preserved as wildlife habitats, as unique open spaces, and as the only economically practical method of flood protection and storm water runoff filtration. Orono's recently updated wetland protection ordinances in concert with the additional regulatory authority of the MCWD, the MnDNR, MnBWSR and the Corps of Engineers will continue to provide an aggressive program to retain and enhance the viability of the City's wetlands. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 18 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan 7. Protection of the City's marshland,wetlands and drainageways shall include protection of adjoining lands and prevention of drainage, filling, dredging or wetland vegetation removal. 8. Protection of lake resources will allow reasonable access, use and enjoyment while preventing overcrowding and excessive encroachment. In conformance with MnDNR Shoreland Management regulations for Recreational Development lakes,the City will continue to prohibit overly dense development within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka. In conjunction with the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District,lake use regulations will be promoted to limit excessive boat density and overuse of sensitive bays. Land use regulations will continue to be refined and enforced to provide reasonable control over building density, land alteration and lakeshore encroachment. 9. Lake shorelines will be protected from alteration.Natural vegetation in shoreland areas will be preserved insofar as practical and reasonable in order to retard surface runoff and soil erosion,and to utilize excess nutrients.The establishment and preservation of vegetated buffers along lake shorelines will be promoted and encouraged. Clearcutting of the lakeshore will continue to be prohibited.In areas of soil or wave action erosion,natural stone rip rap shoreline protection as well as bioengineering (plant-based) solutions for shoreline stabilization will be encouraged. The use of artificially constructed seawalls will be discouraged except where no other shoreline stabilization options are feasible. 10. Lake bed alterations will be discouraged because of adverse short-term and long-term effects on water quality. Dredging will be deemed appropriate in limited circumstances only where absolutely necessary to maintain existing natural riparian access permanently lost by something beyond the control of the landowner. Periodic low water conditions or the owner's desire for deeper draft watercraft are not sufficient reasons for disrupting sensitive lake beds. 11. Development or alteration of floodplains will be restricted. Most of the City's identified floodplains are located along the shoreline or within designated marshlands and will be protected by other provisions applicable to those areas. 12 Natural resource investigation will be required as part of all development proposals.This will include topographical information, soil analysis, drainage plans, vegetation plans, erosion control measures and similar site data related to each project, whether public or private. The extent of each such review will be determined by probable environmental impact. 13. On-site water retention facilities will be required as part of all residential,commercial or industrial development projects whenever necessary to maintain or improve the existing storm water runoff patterns as required by law and Ordinance. 14. Land use and development will not be permitted at the expense of environmental protection. 15. Erosion control plans and programs will be required in all land alteration projects. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 19 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan 16. Erosion control Best Management Practices shall be applied to all land alteration projects. 17. Citizen efforts to protect and enhance the natural environment will be encouraged. The City will encourage individual citizens and private groups or organizations to be pro-active in the preservation of the environment in which they live.Activities such as reforestation,prairie and wetland restoration, buckthorn removal, minimizing use of phosphorus on lawns establishment of lakeshore buffer strips and rain gardens, lake and stream trash cleanup, and other citizen-driven efforts are an important element in Orono's commitment to environmental protection. 18. Protection and preservation of greenways and open space corridors will be considered as part of the development process. The City will strive to provide connectivity between and among natural and semi- natural open spaces. Remnant natural areas will be preserved to the greatest extent possible, and will be connected where appropriate by greenways that may incorporate water resources and larger wetland systems, semi-natural communities, and restoration of degraded natural areas. 19. New development will be required to adhere to the methods of Conservation Design in order to achieve the City's environmental protection goals.New development shall adhere to the six Guiding Principles established through the Orono Rural Oasis Study,including: • Promotion of ecologically sensitive stormwater management. • Establishment and maintenance of native ecological communities. • Establishment and maintenance of ecological connections. • Preservation and augmentation of corridor enclosures. • Preservation of views. • Preservation and maintenance of landmarks and unique points of local character. 20. Preservation of Orono's dark night skies will be promoted by encouraging the use of appropriate outdoor lighting design. Urban Area Policies for Natural Resource Management 1. Land use standards will limit the impact of urban encroachment on Lake Minnetonka. Minimum lot widths will space out docks and structural encroachments while increasing areas of natural vegetation. The City will support the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District in its ongoing efforts to limit the number of boats per property and the amount of public waters available for private docking and boat storage. 2. Retention of natural vegetation will limit the impact of urbanization as visible from the lake.Building heights will be limited to less than the typical tree height.Minimum green belts will be provided with prohibitions against clearcutting or excessive thinning of vegetation. Natural vegetation will be preserved on slopes. Retaining walls will be discouraged except when absolutely necessary to prevent erosion, in which case they will be screened with natural vegetation. Changes to the topography of lakeshore lots with the intent of creating `walkout' situations will be discouraged because such land alterations result in an unnatural lakeshore character. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 20 CMP Part 3A. Environmental Protection Plan 3. Direct runoff into the lake will be minimized. Standards regarding the amount of impervious hardcover will continue to be aggressively enforced for residential properties within 1000 feet of the shoreline. The percentage of hardcover allowed within established lakeshore setback zones shall be limited in accordance with Orono's hardcover ordinance which has been in effect in form since 1975. 4. All existing urban wetlands will be maintained and protected for surface water retention and filtration. 5. City maintenance practices will be designed to improve storm water quality, including salt use and snow storage policies. 6. A significant amount of natural woodlands and open space will be retained on each property.Retention of the natural environment requires careful siting and preservation of trees and open space on each urban property. 7. All developments will be designed to assure protection of light, air, and solar access for neighboring properties. Requirements for minimum lot size, amounts of open space, minimum yard setbacks, and maximum building heights will be designed to assure protection of these values for all urban residents. Rural Area Policies for Natural Resource Management 1. Land use standards will limit the pollution loading of rural marshes and drainageways. Rural densities will be low enough to ensure permanent reliance upon satisfactory on-site sewer and water systems where municipal sewer is not feasible and to ensure that rates of phosphorus and nitrogen generation will not adversely affect the water quality in the natural drainage system. 2. Rural land use densities will allow maximum retention of private woods and open space. Low rural densities will accommodate homesites without affecting the traditional vistas of open fields and woods.The retention of these woodlands and marshlands will then assure permanent habitat for our abundant wildlife. 3. Rural wetlands and marshland will be maintained and protected for surface water retention and filtration. 4. The City will promote farming and animal management practices designed to conserve the soil and ground water and minimize pollution. 5. Land use standards will limit the impact of rural encroachment on Orono's rural lakeshore areas. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3A, Page 21 Sic°g—IrCirli s.

General Lande Use Plan CMP PART 3B LAND USE PLAN INTRODUCTION This Land Use Plan is a refinement and restatement of the ongoing planning practices of Orono citizens. It respects and maintains the historic development patterns of the City. It continues the basic land use concepts developed by Orono Township in 1950 and it conforms to the goals established by the first organized comprehensive planning attempts in the mid 1960's. This Plan is prepared and presented for the following purposes: L The Land Use Plan is intended to be a management tool for City officials, City staff, and other parties involved in land development and growth management in Orono. Orono's land use plan indicates the basic location,density and types of land uses in the City that are considered to be compatible with environmental conditions and beneficial to the long term health, safety and welfare of the City and its citizens alike. 2. The Land Use Plan is intended to be a guide for future development so as to reinforce our environmental protection commitment and to ensure such development will be consistent with existing land use. This Plan is compatible with the plans of nearby cities for land use of abutting neighborhoods and for overall levels of services and facilities. 3. The Land Use Plan is intended to advise the Metropolitan Council and our municipal neighbors of Orono's planning and growth management programs.The Land Use Plan illustrates and coordinates the various goals and policies of all the elements of the Community Management Plan. 4 The Land Use Plan is intended to be used as a basis for public facilities planning. The Land Use Plan plays an important role in determining each neighborhood's ultimate population, the required capacity of public facilities, and an appropriate capital improvements program. 5. The Land Use Plan is intended to be used as the basis for developing responsible ordinances for land use management. Zoning and subdivision controls have been established and will continue to be refined to implement the intent of this Land Use Plan. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 2 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan SCOPE The time framework of the Land Use Plan is intended to be consistent with the regional planning period of 2020 through 2040 and with the City's permanent planning policy for rural Orono. Orono's long range land use plans call for permanent maintenance of the existing low density rural residential areas. There is to be no staged growth plan and no expansion of the existing urban service area. This commitment is particularly important to the many Orono citizens who are making private investments based upon this concept. BASIC LAND USE CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES Orono's planning programs have long recognized the development paradox,or urbanization spiral, which often results from arbitrary planning assumptions or from incomplete analysis of planning alternatives. The most striking example in Orono's situation is the documented evidence that over- extension of sanitary sewers,ostensibly to solve a pollution problem,can easily in itself cause irretrievable water quality degradation of Lake Minnetonka. Chapter 1 of this Plan outlines the "urbanization spiral". Nutrient management technologies such as NURP ponds, alum treatments, and a wide variety of Best Management Practices provide added tools to manage runoff from rural densities.However,Orono cannot and will not rely solely on man- made systems for preserving water quality, and will not increase density to pay for stormwater management infrastructure. A principal goal of Orono's planning program is the protection of natural resources and environmental amenities, particularly the water quality of Lake Minnetonka. The Environmental Protection Plan emphasizes Orono's unique environmental position in relation to the long-term health of Lake Minnetonka.Retention of natural vegetation, light, air, and open space will be promoted. Shorelines will be protected from erosion and alteration. Water quality preservation is dependent upon effective sewage treatment programs. Urbanized areas, shoreland areas and remaining existing higher-density housing clusters within the Rural area have been or will be provided with municipal sanitary sewer to prevent discharge of untreated or insufficiently treated sewage effluent into the Lake. In the rural areas, low density land use can be safely served long- term by individual on-site sewage treatment systems. Historic development patterns have resulted in a city which is partially urban and partially rural. These two development patterns offer a variety of housing to meet residents' lifestyle and service desires. The citizens of Orono have determined that a long range planning objective of the City is the permanent retention of the rural community. This objective is in line with the existing developed density of the area, and with the similar plans of other cities abutting the rural area. Orono is partly in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and partly outside the current MUSA. The MUSA was established by Metropolitan Council to define the extent of areas where urban services will be provided and urban scale development will occur. Orono does not anticipate expansion of the MUSA boundary as part of the 2010 update. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 3 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan Urban and rural neighborhoods require differing levels of public services and facilities. The urban areas of Orono have sufficient density to require, and to financially support, municipal sewer and water services, increased police and fire protection, public works projects and public recreational facilities. These areas have such facilities in place and in sufficient capacity to accommodate all projected urban development. The rural areas have limited density and have environmental restraints prohibiting urban density encroachments. Orono expects future development in both the urban and the rural portions of the city. The urban area is expected to have new residential infill development on the existing vacant lots and undeveloped parcels at densities consistent with the Community Management Plan. Additional of higher density housing is anticipated in the planning term to accommodate a wider range of affordability and lifecycle housing needs, overall urban density will remain relatively low. The rural area is expected to have continued infill residential development. Non-residential development will likely be limited to open space recreation. Over time, changes in national priorities, population trends, metropolitan plans and metropolitan facilities have continued to reinforce the planning and development objectives of Orono. Community leaders have consistently held firm to the quality over quantity in approving development proposals, and will continue to do so. Those close in proximity to Core metro arca, thoThe projected population is a direct result of Orono's environmental protection policies and is consistent with the proposed public facilities plans of Orono,the Hennepin County Public Works Department, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES). Table 3B-1 illustrates Orono Populations and Households growth, from 1970, projected through 2040. The most recent data supplied by the Met Council, in 2016, shows 7,691 people in 3,037 households.

General Lande Use Plan levels on Highway 12 through Orono and Long Lake. Environmental and social pressures have eliminated any plans for expansion of County Road 15 along the lakeshore. Orono will continue to promote and implement strategies to reroute traffic away from the lakeshore areas. Regional sewer service facilities plans were revised three decades ago in response to Orono's plans for low-density development. The final Orono-Long Lake Interceptor is in place with a design capacity for less than 8,400 Orono residents and a limited service area. In the early 1980's,the Maple Plain Interceptor was similarly designed to provide only limited capacity for Orono. These capacity limitations are consistent with Orono's goals for the rural area. Orono's commercial and economic development has always been centered in the historic town centers. The shopping, employment, education and social needs of Orono residents have been met by commercial facilities and shopping centers located in Navarre and in surrounding communities.Promotion of duplicate facilities in Orono would tend to be uneconomic and counterproductive. Orono's housing plan is intended to accommodate all planned population growth in a wide variety of housing opportunities. New urban housing will be in a variety of forms including single family homes on scattered vacant lots throughout the sewered area; planned residential developments including mixed single family, attached townhome, and apartment dwelling units on vacant sewered parcels along Wayzata Boulevard and in the Navarre Area. Most new rural housing will be on new lots of two to five acres net dry-buildable area, all with prior approved site evaluation and proof of adequate septic system operation. In Shoreland areas previously brought into the MUSA, new low- density rural development may be provided with municipal sewers to afford the maximum level of protection for Lake Minnetonka and other Orono lakes. Orono's comprehensive sewer policy plan is designed to provide an adequate, safe level of sewage treatment and waste water disposal for all urban and rural properties. Sewage treatment policies respect the limited regional capacity and the differing levels of service required by urban and rural neighborhoods.Municipal sewer capacity is available for projected urban development within the existing urban service area. Orono's transportation plan is tailored to the different needs of urban and rural neighborhoods. Near the lakeshore and in some rural areas, the collector roads are relatively slow speed with circuitous alignment dictated by the hills and bays rather than by commuter preference. The urban areas are provided with a typical network of city streets connecting residential and shopping areas with each other. The rural area is gridded-off with a core system of publicly maintained collector and minor arterial streets running at regular intervals. Orono's parks and open space facilities reflect different urban and rural characteristics.In the urban area, the City provides numerous small neighborhood parks and playgrounds offering centers for neighborhood activities such as swimming,skating,softball,and soccer. In addition,three larger preserves (Casco Circle, Saga Hill, and Highwood) offer substantial "natural" areas. In the rural area, a variety of City-owned parks and preserves offer a range of active and passive recreation opportunities. Large public and quasi-public recreational facilities include Three Rivers Park District lands, several golf courses, a City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 6 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan gun club,Minnesota DNv's the Luce Line state Trail,the-new Dakota Rail Trail,as well as two'big woods' Scientific and Natural Areas. LAND USE GOALS AND POLICIES Orono's Land Use Plan is based upon the following goals and policies which in turn have been actively developed and fostered by Orono residents over the last 45 years. Land Use Goals 1. To reinforce Orono's environmental protection commitment, with special emphasis on the protection of Lake Minnetonka and Orono's other lakes. 2. To maintain the historic identity and character of the separate urban and rural neighborhoods. 3. To provide appropriate places for a variety of local residential,educational, recreational, industrial and neighborhood commercial activities. 4. To protect neighborhoods from encroachment of incompatible land uses. 5. To coordinate Orono's land uses with that of neighboring communities. 6. To coordinate land uses and developed density with the financial and physical capabilities of the City. General Land Use Policies 1. The boundary between Orono's Urban and Rural Areas is fixed. Orono's Urban Area will not be strictly defined by the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary or future expansions of the MUSA boundary but will be fixed by this and the other elements of the Community Management Plan. Orono's defined Urban and Rural Areas are best described by the planned development types and densities. • -• - - - - - per 2 acres is deemed Urban, Orono's Urban and Rural areas are depicted and fixed by Map 3B-1. 2. The Metropolitan Urban Service Area(MUSA)will define the areas of Orono where municipal sewers may be extended. The MUSA will include all parts of Orono's Urban Area and may include parts of Orono's Rural Area where appropriate. The MUSA boundary in Orono will define areas where sewer exists or where it may be extended to serve existing or new development, but will not define the areas where general urban services will be provided, and it will not strictly define the boundary between higher density and low-density development. 3. Orono's land use plans will be based upon environmental protection policies. Land use and development must assure the conservation, protection and preservation of sensitive environmental resources in accordance with the goals and policies of the Environmental Protection Plan. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 7 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan 4. Development density will be limited throughout the city to a level which will not overload the natural surface water drainage and filtration system. Urbanization increases the rate and quantity of surface runoff while decreasing the water quality. To the extent that it is practical and feasible,the City will supplement existing natural assimilation capacities with man- made ponding areas,but will not allow increases in development density beyond the defined density as a result of such supplementation. 5. The wetlands, floodplains, and marshlands of the city will be protected and preserved as wildlife habitats,as unique open spaces,and as an economically practical and effective method of flood protection and storm water runoff filtration. Wherever possible, the City will acquire open space and flowage easements for conservation of these lands. The city will not support the filling of a wetland to provide a buildable lot. 6. Protection of lake resources will allow reasonable access, use and enjoyment while preventing overcrowding and excessive encroachment. In conformance with Orono's Shoreland Management regulations, Orono will prohibit overly dense development within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka. Lake use regulations will be promoted to limit excessive boat density and overuse of sensitive bays. 7. Lake shorelines will be protected from alteration. Shoreland areas, whether bluff, beach or floodplain, are sensitive environmental features with significant impact on lake water quality, aesthetic values and land use function. These same factors act to draw development which can be destructive if not properly regulated.Natural vegetation in shoreland areas will be preserved insofar as practical and reasonable in order to limit surface runoff and soil erosion, and to utilize excess nutrients. Clearcutting will be prohibited. In areas of soil or wave action erosion, material stone rip rap shoreline protection will be encouraged. Where determined to be feasible and practical, alternative natural methods of shoreline protection other than rip-rap will be promoted. Excavation, filling and other grade changes at or near the shoreline for the sole purpose of accommodating development will be discouraged. 8. The City will work to encourage and facilitate slope stabilization measures prior to slope failures. 9. Development or alteration of floodplains will be restricted. The City will observe and administer Flood Plain regulations as required by the DNR. 10. Orono's land use plan will promote the preservation of open space, light and air. Sufficient open spaces will be provided in each neighborhood and on each lot to prevent overcrowding and to ensure adequate light, air and recreation for all residents. 11. Private ownership, maintenance and stewardship of the land, including open space and many types of improvements, is favored over public ownership as being in the best and most beneficial interests of the property owner and the public, providing for more intimate, City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 8 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan responsive and economical land management. 12. No land owner should be denied the right to develop his land by any staged growth, land banking or no-growth policy, provided the development can be accomplished within the performance standards,policies and requirements of the Community Management Plan. 13. Future development must enhance the community. Land development should respect preserve the value of the land and the integrity, stability and beauty of the community. 14. Physical improvements required to accommodate new development must be provided by the developer. It is the policy of the City that development pays for itself, physical improvements such as roads, drainage and utilities required to accommodate new subdivisions or development should be designed, financed and installed directly by the benefited developer as a precondition to development In addition, this philosophy includes developer responsibility for special fire protection equipment or devices in the case of unusual land uses or building configurations, and/or special security services in the case of unusual public safety situations. 15. All physical improvements must conform to city standards. Physical improvements related to health, safety or community systems such as roads, pathways, drainage or utility systems will be designed, located and constructed to uniform, City-established standards to ensure proper functioning and compatibility with overall City plans. 16. Developers must dedicate lands required for public use. Land subdivision or any development that results in increased land use density, and hence increased demand for municipal services, will be expected to include public dedication of lands necessary for additional road rights of way,parks,playgrounds,trails, open space,ponds or storm water holding areas whenever such facilities are directly used by the subdivided land or required by such density increase. If the individual development's property is not conducive to public land dedication, then in lieu of lands the developer may be required to contribute funds for the municipal purchase of such lands or the improvement of such facilities proportionate to the cumulative effect of such density increase from multiple small developments. 17.No land will be permitted to be subdivided or built upon which is held unsuitable by the City for the proposed use because of flood hazards,inadequate drainage,soil formations with severe limitations for development, severe erosion potential, unfavorable topography, inadequate water supply or sewage disposal capabilities, or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of the future residents of the proposed subdivision or of the community. Urban Land Use Policies 1. The majority of Orono's urban area will be reserved for residential land use.Many urban residences will be intimately associated with the lake shoreline and will be subject to density restrictions because of sensitive environmental conditions. Medium and High Density multi- family residential uses will be limited to locations near existing shopping and transportation City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 9 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan services, but will not be appropriate within 1,000 feet of the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka except when in close proximity to the Navarre commercial area abutting CR 15 or CR 19. 2. Commercial areas will be provided for neighborhood service businesses. The primary function of Orono's commercial areas will be to provide those retail, commercial and service businesses which are directly necessary to serve Orono's urban and rural residents. Commercial development will be limited to areas where full urban services, including municipal sanitary sewer and adequate transportation are available. Commercial development of a regional nature (i.e. "big box" retail) which would increase traffic, particularly on collector streets serving low density residential development, will be discouraged. Mixed Use Residential and Commercial Development is targeted for select traditionally commercial areas to provide a healthy base of customers for these limited commercial areas. 3. Lakeshore commercial areas will be provided for public access and limited lake-user services. Orono's residents and other lake users require lake access, fishing supplies, boat service and boat repair facilities which are unique to our location on a recreational development lake. Orono's Land Use Plan will provide locations for such special-purpose businesses where appropriate from both the land use and the lakeside environmental standpoint. No use or location will be permitted to adversely affect the lake quality or the public's general usage of the lake.All lakeshore commercial is to be limited to areas where full urban services,including municipal sanitary sewer and adequate transportation are available. 4. The City will encourage private unification and coordination of the existing commercial areas. Unplanned strip commercial developments will be discouraged. Coordinated projects designed to aesthetically enhance, unify and identify the business areas will be encouraged. 5. Future industrial development will be limited to the area of the existing Orono industrial park.No other location in Orono combines the availability of transportation and public utilities with remoteness from sensitive environmental features. In addition, this land use is consistent with Long Lake's neighboring industrial development. 6. Commercial and industrial development will not be permitted to adversely affect neighboring residential property.The location, scale and types of commercial and industrial development will be controlled so as not to encroach upon or adversely impact the primary residential land uses in Orono. Wherever possible, natural land forms or buffers will be required between different land uses. 7. Public urban services must be available for all future commercial, industrial and urban- residential development. Commercial, industrial and urban-density residential uses will be permitted only where municipal sanitary sewer,water, adequate transportation,police and fire protection services are available. 8. Urban development will utilize the capacity of existing public facilities.New land uses and development will be allowed to infill existing vacant properties within the urban service area consistent with environmental limitations and with the existing or planned capacities of water, sewer, drainage transportation and recreational facilities. New development will not be City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 10 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan permitted to overburden these services at the expense of the existing users. 9. Land use standards will limit the impact of urban encroachment on Lake Minnetonka. Minimum lot width will space out docks and structural encroachments while increasing areas of natural vegetation. Lake use regulations promulgated by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and supplemented with City regulations if necessary will limit the number of boats per property and the amount of public waters available for private docking and boat storage. 10. Retention of natural vegetation will limit the impact of urbanization as visible from the lake.Building heights will be limited to less than the typical tree height. Minimum green belts will be provided with prohibitions against clearcutting or excessive thinning of vegetation. Natural vegetation will be preserved on slopes and retaining walls will be discouraged except when absolutely necessary to prevent erosion, in which case they will be screened with natural vegetation. Rural Land Use Policies Orono's rural area will be reserved for permanent low-density residential land use. Orono's rolling rural area is not suitable for commercial agriculture.Likewise,the delicate balance of storm water nutrient loading vs. marshland assimilative capacity precludes expansion of the urban service area without major environmental problems for Lake Minnetonka. Therefore, the ideal land use for that portion of Orono located outside of the Urban Service Area is the planned low- density rural residential land use. Commercial and industrial uses will not be permitted in the rural area. Orono's rural area provides the opportunity for quasi- agricultural land uses. Greenhouses, orchards, small hobby farms, riding stables, and recreation areas such as large golf courses and park reserves are not possible in more crowded urban areas but they are compatible with rural residential properties. Thus, the total commercial activity of Orono is broader and more varied than if the City were all urban or all rural. Rural density is limited by natural conditions.Development of rural Orono is naturally limited by a number of conditions including wetlands, steep slopes and areas of high water table, factors which influence building locations and transportation options as well as the location and spacing of on-site sewage treatment systems which rely on soil treatment of sewage effluent. The existing rural area will not be urbanized. Orono's Community Management Plan is not a staged growth plan. Municipal urban services will not be extended into the rural area or across open, rural lands. Rural land uses and densities do not require urban services. Urban services are not compatible with rural land use. Extension of certain urban services, such as extensive public road maintenance or municipal sewer or water cannot be economically justified or easily provided to developments in rural areas or at rural densities. Rural development will be subject to proven on-site sewage treatment capability. Future development in the rural area will be contingent upon the developer providing prior technical evidence that the site contains sufficient suitable land for all development, an acceptable primary City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 11 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan drainfield area, and reserved space for at least one alternate drainfield area. The zoning area requirements for rural Orono will therefore be based upon minimum areas of dry, buildable, contiguous land exclusive of roadways, wetlands, streams or areas of high water table. Rural land use densities will allow maximum retention of private woods and open space.Low rural densities will accommodate homesites without affecting the traditional vistas of open fields and woods. The retention of these woodlands and marshlands will then assure permanent habitat for our wildlife. Public open space will be provided on a large-scale or Park Reserve basis, but neighborhood or mini-parks are unnecessary because of the large amount of available privately owned and maintained open space. Rural lakeshore areas within the Shoreland and within the MUSA will be provided with municipal sewer service upon request.Municipal sewer service connections will be available to new or existing residences within the designated Shoreland Overlay District and within the MUSA when requested, costs to connect will be the responsibility of the property owner. However, this policy will not preclude development of such areas using fully conforming Individual Sewage Treatment Systems. Lakeshore Residential Land Use Policies Although Orono's lakeshore has a wide range of diversity in lot size and home size, the predominant character of Orono's lakeshore is natural. Natural is defined in part by much of the lakeshore being historically developed as large estate lots with homes set back a substantial distance from the lakeshore, or being developed as moderate homes on moderate lots leaving substantial open space. Natural includes remnants of native forests and vegetation, protection of the lakeshore from hardcover and impervious surface encroachments. The exception to the natural lakeshore is the areas where historically small cottages were built on small lots close to the lakeshore. These cottages in many cases have been updated, remodeled or expanded into year- round homes. The key goal of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to protect Lake Minnetonka, and other Orono lakes and waterways which includes the preservation of the natural character of the lakeshore and the water quality of the lakes. As the demand for,and value of,lakeshore property has dramatically increased,so has the pressure to expand or replace older homes with much larger homes. This pressure has the potential to substantially alter the natural character of the lakeshore, and the more open and natural environment enjoyed by property owners along much of the lakeshore in Orono. The following policies will guide the City in addressing development on the lakeshore. 1. Lake Minnetonka shall be protected as a natural and recreational resource. 2. The natural character of the lakeshore shall be preserved, and when possible,enhanced. 3. The views and open space currently enjoyed by lakeshore property owners shall be reasonably protected. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 12 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan 4. The size of a house to be allowed on a lot shall be determined, in part, based on the size of the lot, as well as on the shape and topography of the lot. 5. The increase in massing of structures on the lakeshore shall be limited. THE LAND USE PLAN In 2016,the Met Council published a generalized land use map illustrating the majority of Orono Land as either single family detached, undeveloped,or water. This is illustrated in the Figure 3B 1 below. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 13 CMP Part 3B.

General Lande Use Plan 2040 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Accommodating future growth of the Metro Area is a concern that will require wide-ranging resources. The Metropolitan Council in 2015 adopted "Thrive MSP 2040" to provide a plan for addressing the challenges that will be faced by the Twin Cities area over the next two decades in accommodating expected growth in the region. Forecasts indicate the metro area will grow by 820,000 people between 2010 and 2040,and as the average household size continues to shrink(from 2.55 in 2010 to 2.43 by 2040) an additional 389,000 households must be accommodated. In addressing the challenges of growth, Metropolitan Council has acknowledged that a "one size fits all" approach to implementing the Regional Development Framework is not appropriate, and has designated Geographic Planning Areas to identify communities with similar types of growth. In general, Orono's area within the MUSA boundary is designated as "Emerging Suburban Edge" and the areas outside the MUSA boundary are "Rural Residential". Metropolitan Council has identified a set of implementation strategies for each of these categories, as well as an umbrella of strategies that will apply to all communities. Map 3C-1 outlines the Community Designations and the community responsibilities. Each local community is required to address how it will plan for its share of regional affordable housing needs for the decade 2021-2030. Metropolitan Council has apportioned the forecasted need among each of the municipalities in the 7-county metro area. Minnesota Statutes require that comprehensive plans include an implementation program that describes public programs, fiscal devices and other specific actions to be undertaken in stated sequence to implement the comprehensive plan and ensure conformity with metropolitan system plans. One required element is a housing implementation program,"...including official controls to implement the housing element of the land use plan, which will provide sufficient existing and new housing to meet the local unit's share of the metropolitan area need for low and moderate income housing." Orono's share is forecasted at 154 new affordable housing units for the decade 2021- 2030. EXISTING AND FUTURE LAND USE SUMMARY Map 3B-2 depicts the existing land uses in Orono as of 2016. As shown in Table 3B-2: Orono Existing Land Use Summary, shows just over 1/3 of Orono's total area is in open water; of the remaining-2/3 that is land area, 92% is devoted to residential, parks & open space uses, or underdeveloped.

Lakes and Open Water Areas within the city boundary of open water. The Lakes and associated watersheds are a significant influence on the quality of life and character of the City. 2. Rural Preserve (1 units per 5 acres) The northwest corner of the City is planned for a lower density of one unit per five acres. This area has been developed to provide large lot and quasi agricultural home sites. The extension of municipal water or sewer is not intended for these areas. 3. Rural Residential(1 unit per 2 acres) This is the typical rural residential density developed and planned to be permanently self-supporting. No rural density will be allowed greater than one unit per two acres except for those residences in existing rural housing clusters that were originally developed many decades ago and in most cases have been provided with municipal sewer within the past 3 decades. New rural developments may include housing clustering when environmental and site conditions allow,provided the overall density within the development conforms to these requirements, and provided that all sewage treatment needs can be adequately met within. 4. Urban Low Residential (I2.5-2 units per acre) This is intended for areas that have developed in a land use pattern of lots developed many decades ago smaller than 1 acre, and have access to sanitary sewer services. These lots have a particular impact on lake water quality, and lake character and storm water management, massing, and hardcover controls are critical to the retention of this character. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 18 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan 5. Urban Medium Residential (3-10 units per acre) This higher density will be reserved for properties deemed by the City Council to be so uniquely situated that residential development at the prescribed density will not negatively impact surrounding land uses. Such properties must have municipal sewer and water available. Other factors that will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. 6. Urban Medium High/Mixed Use Residential (10-20 units per acre) This land use designation is reserved for specific sites,which based on their proximity to services and transportation corridors are deemed appropriate for higher density projects. The Mixed Use Residential and Commercial designation is intended for established commercial areas on higher classification transportation routes to introduce an element of higher density residential.This residential component will serve to augment the commercial uses with a near-by customer base and to provide an efficient use of land.The properties targeted for Mixed Use classification are in the Navarre area, including a number of commercially zoned properties abutting Shadywood Road,and additional commercial and residential properties abutting Shoreline Drive. This Mixed Use designation is intended to allow for the possibility of higher density multi-family residential development such as senior and assisted living, townhomes, condominiums or apartment buildings. Under the Mixed Use designation, properties currently zoned for residential use are not intended to be converted to commercial property, but existing commercial property could be converted to higher-density residential use or mixed residential-commercial uses in the same buildings.The City may also consider new zoning standards to regulate potential mixed-use projects. The City anticipates mixed use within the context of the neighborhood, and not necessarily specific to a particular parcel. Where employed, the City can envision ground level commercial services, with 2nd and 3rd level residential,though that is not the expected universal development pattern. Properties in Area E of Table 3B-4 and Map 3B-4 are the primary candidates for mixed use development,which can be both vertical or horizontal. Based on the height limit (30 feet) and the desire for commercial services to mix with residential, the City anticipates no more than 70% of Area E to convert to residential uses. 7. Urban High Density Residential(20-25 units per acre) This land use designation is reserved for specific sites, which based on their proximity to services and transportation corridors, are deemed appropriate for higher density projects. Other factors that will be taken into consideration in determining the appropriate locations for this density will include proximity to and the need for other urban utilities and services in relation to the proposed use; transportation system impacts and site access; and the ability of the proposed use to meet City housing goals. 8. Island Residential(1 unit per 5 acres) The Island residential is characterized by limited access,utilities,and municipal services for properties originally developed as seasonal cabins. The Land use category is intended to preserve this land use without encouraging additional subdivision. 9. Commercial/Office Commercial/ Office is the general land use describing 3 sub land use categories: Lakeshore City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 19 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan Commercial, Navarre Commercial District, and Orono/Long Lake Business District, and Lakeshore Commercial. Urban commercial development is limited to two areas which are provided with all the necessary urban services and facilities. LAKESHORE COMMERCIAL Lakeshore Commercial,- restricted to Lake access and lake user service businesses, including marinas, are appropriate for a lakeside community and require a lakeshore location, including marinas. Special performance standards are necessary to assure protection of the lake environment. Parking, utilities, lake/ and Highway access, and pedestrian circulation must be considered in siting new Lake Shore Commercial Uses. NAVARRE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. See also Urban Medium Density Residential/ Mixed Use. The major commercial center of Orono will continue to be Navarre. This area will provide opportunity for neighborhood retail and service businesses, plus professional offices. Accessory functions such as offices and living units or limited multi-family developments will be considered appropriate in or near the Navarre commercial area. The scale and type of retail uses in a pedestrian-friendly environment is the most important development parameter for the Navarre commercial area. The City will encourage redevelopment of individual commercial sites in Navarre to allow for an expanded range of neighborhood services and local small business opportunities. The Navarre Commercial District extends along either side of Shoreline Drive from the intersection of County Roads 15 and 19 westward to the Orono-Spring Park border,and along both sides of Shadywood Road from Lyric Avenue to Lydiard Avenue. The commercial uses along these intersecting corridors are typically only one tier deep, with virtually all commercial properties abutting either Shoreline Drive or Shadywood Road. Additionally, the commercial properties are not continuous, with residential properties scattered among them, making for a somewhat fragmented business district that is spread out over a mile in length from end to end. Along these two corridors the second tier of development is typically residential_; hence the business uses in many casts arc in close proximity to individual homes. Past City planning efforts for the Navarre area have identified a number of challenges to be addressed as Navarre redevelops in the years to come: 1. High traffic volumes and the existing traffic management infrastructure result in poor pedestrian accessibility.Pedestrians have limited options for crossing CR 15 or CR 19. The Park and Ride facility location and inflexibility of bus routes (partially due to the location and configuration of the P&R lot)requires that bus patrons cross CR 15 on at least one leg of their commute. 2. Parking availability is a limiting factor for expansion or redevelopment of existing businesses. 3. Beautification efforts are hindered by road width and right-of-way constraints as well as financial constraints. 4. Aging buildings are ripe for redevelopment yet provide low rental rates that allow local businesses to survive and thrive, reducing the incentive to redevelop. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 20 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan 5. There is little architectural cohesiveness among the existing buildings. Navarre hasn't decided whether it wants to be urban (buildings against the street, parking in the rear) or 6. Compatibility of certain business uses with the closely adjacent residential neighborhood can become an issue. 7. Desire to expand Expansion of pedestrian connectivity to adjoining neighborhoods and to Dakota Rail Trail. 8. Introduction of higher density mixed use (residential and commercial) development to select sites identified in the Land Use Plan. ORONO/LONG LAKE COMMERCIAL AREABUSINESS AREA An additional commercial area is designated along Wayzata Boulevard where the availability of transportation and utilities as well as proximity to similar commercial developments in Orono and Long Lake, make commercial use appropriate. Orono will coordinate its commercial development planning related to Wayzata Boulevard area with the City of Long Lake to ensure the Long Lake downtown area remains vital and viable, to focus retail development in a compact downtown retail area, and to prevent the extension of retail development west of Willow Drive in Orono. The retail development in the Wayzata Boulevard area will be community or neighborhood scale rather than "big box"regional scale development. The types of retail uses will be those that focus on providing services to the residents and businesses of Long Lake and Orono,while also drawing from the reduced traffic stream on Wayzata Boulevard resulting from opening of the new Highway 12 corridor.However,the retail development is not to draw substantial traffic from beyond Orono. The development plans for the Highway 12 area will encourage locally-owned and operated businesses that provide services to Orono and Long Lake residents. Additionally,the Highway 12 retail area will be a pedestrian-friendly area. This involves providing trails/sidewalks along the roadways providing access to the retail uses. It also involves providing public amenities that provide a sense of place and provide a gathering place for the public. Parameters for commercial use of this area are as follows: 1. The area affected is property lying between Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Boulevard, west of Willow Drive and east of Old Crystal Bay Road. 2. Allowed uses in this area include professional offices, limited service uses, retail uses accessory to the office use, and senior and assisted living uses. 3. Access to all uses will be via Kelley Parkway. Direct access to Willow Drive, if allowed, are intended to shall be right-in/right-out only.There shall be no direct access points onto Wayzata Boulevard. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 21 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan 4. "Big box"retail uses will not be allowed within this area. 9. Park/Recreation/Open Space Park, Recreation, and Open Space Land Use includes public and private parks and natural areas throughout the community. The recreational facilities identified on the Land Use Plan are principally large natural or open space areas which are compatible with their Rural Area location. 10. Industrial This district provides space for industrial activities for companies that are able and willing to achieve superior standards of design and environmental protection. Industrial land uses should be restricted to areas abutting major transportation corridors and individually cited so as to minimum negative impacts on residential areas. Based on their heavy hardcover needs, industrial areas should be located further than 1,000 feet from lakes. 11.

NA VARRE AREA PLAN In 2018, the City completed the Navarre Area Plan (NAP) with the aid of a Planning Consultant, WSB City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 22 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan and Associates. This planning process focused on the land range vision and land use goals for the Navarre area, and to inform the Comprehensive Plan, for this update. The proposed land uses shown on Map 3B- 3 include the findings from the Navarre Area Plan. Map 3B-3a shows the Navarre area specifically. The Navarre Planning Process employed a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC), consisting of 13 members of the Navarre area community, including business owners and operators and residents. The Planning Process included three PAC meetings, an open house in January, and a Joint Work session in April. Public comment was collected via the open house, work session, on-line surveys, and the use of a social media tool, Social Pinpoint. The full report, including the appendices detailing the comments received, and the market study, are attached in Appendix II of this chapter. The NAP evaluated several factors influencing the changes in the Navarre neighborhood over the next 20 years, including the market, traffic and transportation. The goal of the PAC was to influence and guide this change toward a Navarre area that can serve as a pseudo"downtown"of Orono,while still respecting the core Orono values as a small, rural community. A market study was completed by Maxfield and Associates,tested the land use assumptions made by the land use plan. The market study was used to adjust the planned land use map from the 2030 to the 2040 Plan. Traffic and transportation issues are a major influence on the character and change in Navarre. In 2019, Hennepin County is expected to improve the intersection of County Roads 15 and 19 (Shoreline and Shadywood Road),though these improvements are not expected to increase capacity. Capacity challenges of this section of the community are discussed in the Transportation Chapter. The findings of the Navarre area Plan are highlighted below. Interaction with Lake Minnetonka • As part of any redevelopment proposals involving parcels on the south side of Shoreline Drive between Carman Street and Kelly Avenue, the City should work with developers to identify opportunity areas that allow for viewing, sitting, and walking near the lakeshore. Fishing or boating connections to Lake Minnetonka are not anticipated. Future Development • Cautiously consider allowing increased building heights and residential density in areas along Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road (where appropriate)to increase pedestrian traffic and encourage additional retail development. • Consider incorporating incentives into the zoning ordinance that allow for higher density in exchange for enhanced architectural features, underground parking, public amenities,plazas, open spaces, and recreation areas. • Adopt architectural and design regulations where appropriate to require pedestrian scale design. Consider regulations for maximum building setbacks, minimum window coverage, location of parking facilities, architectural materials, façade articulation, and entryways. • Review all permitted and conditional commercial uses within zoning districts along Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road to ensure that the types of desired businesses are City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 23 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan allowed in Navarre. Types of allowable uses should focus on small scale neighborhood goods and services and avoid those that do not have a large customer draw. • Consider reduced parking requirements for businesses that provide bicycle parking. • Explore acquiring additional property for providing shared parking and periodic public gatherings for Navarre businesses. • Host a developer round table to discuss obstacles to development in Navarre. Be prepared to address those obstacles. • Consider developing a façade improvement program to encourage the revitalization of neglected commercial buildings. Revolving loan funds may keep the money working within Navarre. Transportation Improvements • Work with Hennepin County on a plan for future improvements to Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road that improves safety and mobility for pedestrians and cyclists. Consider eliminating some of the free right turns at the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners to help narrow the intersection, reduce speeds, and improve vehicle predictability. Check in with Hennepin County staff bimonthly and use the Navarre Small Area Plan PAC as the review committee for potential improvements. • Explore options for adding pedestrian and streetscaping amenities with any roadway improvements such as wider sidewalks, decorative pavement, landscaping, benches, and other ornamental features. • Meet with Hennepin County transportation staff to discuss potential improvements to alternate arterials that would relieve traffic pressure on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road through Navarre. Discuss options to reduce traffic volumes on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road. • Consider plans for access and the impact of expected traffic volume on Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Road with any redevelopment along these roads. Work with Hennepin County on developing an access management plan for properties that may redevelop along these roadways. Shadywood Trail Connection • Continue to have discussions with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District regarding the trail connection along Shadywood Road to keep the process moving forward. • Engage with impacted property owners early to identify necessary mitigation required. • Conduct additional public engagement regarding the trail as part of the community engagement surrounding the intersection improvements. Community Events • Encourage the development of a community festival. • Consider collaboration with nearby communities on an event that incorporates multiple destinations along the trail. • Utilize the city-owned parking lot on the north side of Shoreline Drive and west of Shadywood Road as a possible location for hosting tents, bands, and vendors associated with an event. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 24 CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan • Should the block northwest of Shoreline Drive and Shadywood Lane (Maxfield Study Block 4) redevelop, that redevelop should include a space available for public gatherings such as an annual festival. • Leverage an annual festival as an opportunity to do enhanced branding for Navarre. • Explore opportunities for collaboration with the Mound farmers' market to organize a farmers' market along the Dakota Rail Trail in Navarre. • Consider the formation of a Navarre Business Association. Tear Downs • Review development standards applicable to single-family homes in Navarre. Review to ensure that adequate controls are in place to ensure that new development is compatible with the existing character and scale of the neighborhood,while still encouraging the redevelopment of blighted properties. Such standards could include requirements for floor area ratio, height, hardcover, architectural materials, landscaping, and accessory structures. • Proactively address blighted properties through the City's code enforcement process so that existing homes are well maintained. Consider revisions to the City's code enforcement process or adopting fines if non-compliance is an issue. • Review its demolition and construction regulations. If the regulation updates require addition administration and monitoring by City staff, consideration should be given to increasing the demolition permit fee commensurate with the addition staffing demand. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT/STAGED DEVELOPMENT The City does not intend to establish a staged growth plan, limiting a property owner from the use of their land, provided the development can be accomplished within the performance standards, policies and requirements of the Community Management Plan. The City anticipates its growth to occur in the same manner has been employed over the last three decades. The majority of subdivision based growth will occur via the splitting of larger lots into subdivisions of less than 6 new building sites. Small areas of the community are conducive to higher density. These projects have served to accommodate our aging community, and provide additional housing and neighborhood options not prevalent in Orono. The City's new residential growth within the MUSA area is expected in one of 5 primary areas, depicted on Map 3B-4 Planned Development areas, and summarized in Table 3B-4, Predicted Growth in Sewered Areas. The table predicts growth over the next 2 decades and identifies the MUSA part and the Traffic Analysis Zone impacted. Assuming development at the minimum range, the city will meet its household growth projection for 2030 and 2040. The city also maintains opportunity for property owners to provide housing to meet affordability goals. The Net Density for the sewered areas of Orono identified in Table 3B-4, is summarized for clarity on Table 3B-5. The 891 units planned to be served by sanitary sewer services over the next 20 plus years yields a net density of 4.16 units per acre.

Development of these areas typically follows a piecemeal pattern as individual properties split into 1-3 units, where lots can accommodate subdivision. 20%of the land (and 40% of the identified for future growth) is in the Navarre area; Due to the costs associated with redevelopment, including acquisition of multiple parcels, and the city's conservative view of public financial aid to private sector development, it is anticipated that this growth will be slow. The balance of the predicted sewered growth will occur on the remaining larger parcels where municipal services are available currently.

General Lande Use Plan HISTORIC SITE PRESERVATION PLAN Orono began to develop in the mid 19th Century, and many of the vestiges of early development are still present,in the form of standing buildings and structures,foundations,fence lines,roadway corridors,place names and other more subtle reminders of the past. Additionally, due to Orono's unique location on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, prehistoric native burial mound sites are known to have existed in various locations throughout the City. Orono has long encouraged the preservation of historic sites and structures,but has never adopted a formal preservation plan. Because no formal plan has been in place, many historic properties have been lost or significantly changed as development and redevelopment progressed. The subdividing of many of the old lakeshore estate properties has typically left a stately mansion surrounded by modern high-end homes rather than formal grounds. The City is fortunate that the West Hennepin Pioneer's Association Museum is located in neighboring Long Lake,with its members serving as an invaluable resource for helping to preserve the past. Historic Preservation Policies 1. In order to ensure that Orono's heritage is preserved, the City will consider development of a Historic Preservation Plan. The intent of such a plan would be to establish goals, policies and local regulations resulting in preservation of historic sites, buildings, place names, corridors, etc. 2. Orono will work with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in determining whether properties proposed for development contain historically significant resources which should be preserved.

Land costs and other development factors suggest that these affordable and lifecycle housing needs can most practically be addressed within the urban areas of Orono. A secondary concern is that much of Orono's existing affordable housing is aging, and there is an increasing need for neighborhood preservation and housing rehabilitation. The Metropolitan Land Planning Act requires that local comprehensive plans include "official controls and land use planning to promote the availability of land for the development of low and moderate income housing"(Minn. Stat. Sec.473.859,Subd.2).To further address housing needs,the Minnesota Legislature in 1995 enacted the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act(LCA)), establishing a fund for communities to invest in local economic revitalization and affordable housing initiatives. The Act provided for funding in three specific areas: cleaning up polluted land; revitalizing communities and promoting efficient development; and providing housing affordable to people with moderate incomes. As the Metropolitan Area continues to grow,the provision of adequate housing poses ongoing challenges for local and regional governments. The three primary facets of the problem include: 1. Supply - Inadequate supply of lower-cost housing in good condition; 2. Location - Concentration of low and moderate income housing in the core cities and inner suburbs; and 3. Affordability-A widening gap between the price of housing and income. 2040 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK Accommodating future growth of the Metro Area is a concern that will require wide-ranging resources. The Metropolitan Council in 2014 adopted its "Thrive MSP 2040" to provide a plan for addressing the challenges that will be faced by the Twin Cities area over the next two decades in accommodating expected growth in the region. In addressing the challenges of growth, Metropolitan Council has acknowledged that a "one size fits all" approach to implementing the Regional Development Framework is not appropriate, and has designated Geographic Planning Areas to identify communities with similar types of growth.

Housing Plan Community Designation Orono has been classified as a mix between Rural Residential;and Emerging Suburban Edge. Within the "Rural Residential", Metropolitan Council's role includes the—encouraging rural development patterns that will protect natural resources and preserve areas where post 2040 growth can be provided with cost-effective and efficient urban infrastructure, and work with communities to plan development patterns that will protect natural resources and water quality and quantity,and maintain existing contiguous lots that are 10 or more acres in size. The local community's role is to: 1. Discourage future development of rural residential patterns (unsewered lots of 2.5 acres or less) and where opportunities exist, plan for rural development at densities that are not greater than 1 unit per 10 acres. 2. Implement conservation subdivision ordinances, cluster development ordinances, and environmental protection provisions in local land use ordinances, consistent with the Council's flexible residential development guidelines. 3. Promote best management practices for stormwater management, habitat restoration, and natural resource conservation in development plans and projects. The Metropolitan Council has established Orono's growth forecasts for the Planning term. Orono's populations is anticipated to increase to 9,500 persons by 2040, an increase of 1,800 persons from 2016 levels. See also Table 3C-1 in this Chapter. 575 new households. As an Emerging Suburban Edge, local government's role is 1. Plan and stage development for forecasted growth through 2040 and beyond at overall average net densities of at least 3-5 dwelling units per acre in the community. Target higher-intensity developments in areas with better access to regional sewer and transportation infrastructure, connections to local commercial activity centers, transit facilities, and recreational amenities. 2. Identify and protect an adequate supply of land to support growth for future development beyond 2040, with regard to agricultural viability and natural and historic resources preservation. 3. Incorporate best management practices for stormwater management and natural resources conservation and restoration in planning processes. 4. Plan for local infrastructure needs including those needed to support future growth. BASIC HOUSING CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES This Housing Plan is an indication of the ongoing policies and concerns of Orono residents toward addressing our own housing goals while taking considered and appropriate measures to address regional housing concerns. This Plan is a refinement and restatement of the planning direction established in the 1974 Orono Village Comprehensive Guide Plan, and updated in 1980, 2000, and 2008. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3C, Page 4 CMP Part 3C. Housing Plan The Housing Plan is an integral part of Orono's Community Management Plan.The policy decisions relating to Orono's housing improvement programs complement and balance regional plans with local concerns for historic development patterns, environmental protection, public health, fiscal responsibility and general land use. Orono's urban and rural areas provide distinctly different lifestyles, amenities and services which jointly characterize the community as a whole. Each area has separate planning priorities and separate environmental considerations. Urban areas and urban services will not be permitted to encroach on or destroy the rural area of the city. Orono has acknowledged the need for a wider range of housing alternative and has taken steps to provide new locations for development of urban density housing where it will not be in conflict with the rural area. Many of these areas have been guided or rezoned to allow for appropriate urban housing densities and have become a part of Orono's urban area. Orono's land use plan calls for development in both the urban and the rural portions of the City. The urban area will see new residential development on the existing vacant lots and undeveloped parcels similar to the forms of development typical of the closer-in suburbs. Opportunities exist for substantial rehabilitation projects in the older urban neighborhoods and for scattered-site new construction of affordable and lifecycle housing units. Overall urban density will not increase dramatically because of the ecological considerations of proximity to Lake Minnetonka. The rural area will see continued residential development at a steady pace. Strict subdivision review will ensure adequate retention of privately owned and maintained open space, wetland conservation, and on- site sewage treatment system site evaluation. The typical rural lot will continue to provide for a rural lifestyle as the low investment in public services continues to make the land competitive with more fully developed suburban properties. Orono's land use plans and programs allow new urban and rural developments to provide comparable cost housing opportunities. rezeni-ng. The projected population numbers for 2020 through 2040 shown in Table 3C-1 reflect the gradually decreasing size of the typical household, reduced from 3.16 persons per household (PPH) in 1970 to 2.6359 PPH at the 2010 census. Household sizes are projected to shrink even further to a level of 2.4739 PPH by 2030. Orono's 2030 population projection of 91,800 reflects an estimated.1100 3,560 households at 2.4739 persons per household. In Orono, the Land Use Plan is the determinant factor in future growth, rather than allowing growth to drive the Land Use Plan. This is the cornerstone of Orono's long-term development philosophy and policies. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3C,Page 5 CMP Part 3C.

The forecast population increase of approximately 2,000 persons in the next twenty years translates into a housing demand of approximately 800 new dwelling units. This average of 40 new dwellings per year is consistent with Orono's rate of building permit issuance during the past two decades. Based on the Land Use Plan, approximately two-thirds of these new units are expected to develop in the urban area. Successful development of a wide range of housing alternatives is directly related to the ability to obtain the necessary infrastructure and public services. In today's market, aAffordable housing and many forms of lifecycle housing are most appropriate only feasible at urban densities where services, employment, and transportation are available, without the need for an automobile. In Orono, with urban , which require urban infrastructure such as municipal sewer and water, and the wide range of urban services not available to in the 80%of Orono that is planned for low-density rural residential development,. affordable housing may not be practical. New housing alternatives in Orono are anticipated to occur within the existing urban area as well as in specified urban area expansions that are detailed in the Land Use Plan. These housing options will include a range of housing styles and types at densities of 2 to 250 units per acre. Where feasible, affordable housing units will be incorporated within High Density Residential in the Land Use Plan. These I designated areas are depicted in the Land Use Plan chapter of the CMPthis Plan. Development Density and Housing Goals Minnesota Statutes 473.859 Subd. 2(c) states that the content of the land use plan element of comprehensive plans shall "include a housing element containing standards, plans and programs for providing adequate housing opportunities to meet existing and projected local and regional housing needs, including but not limited to the use of official controls and land use planning to promote the availability of land for the development of low and moderate income housing."

Much of SUMMARY OF EXISTING HOUSING CONDITIONS The following sections provide a brief summary of the housing types, occupancy tenure, structural condition and price range of housing in Orono. Housing Types The predominant housing type in Orono is single-family detached dwellings. This is true of both the urban and the rural areas of the City. However, the number of multi-family housing units has increased substantially since 2000, primarily along the Highway 12 corridor with the addition of the Orono Woods Senior Housing building and the Stonebay development. This recent increase in that guided a select group of parcels in northern Orono for higher residential densities.

Housing Plan Housing Demolitions Table 3C-5 reports the demolition of residential principal structures over the last 7 years. An average of 20 homes are removed per year. With land values continuously increasing and a substantial supply of older lakeshore homes still remaining in Orono, this trend is expected to continue. The City will monitor this trend to guard against the erosion of neighborhood character.

Much of the housing in Orono has been constructed as 'custom' housing rather than tract housing. Hennepin County Records were used to create the following table of housing values in Orono in 2015, illustrated as a percentage of total housing. Of note, almost 75%3/1ths of all owner occupied housing is valued at $300,000 or more. Figure 3C-2 graphically illustrates the location of owner occupied housing and indicates value of the home.

Orono intends to provide opportunity for these units in the form of 15.4 acres of development at densities higher than 10 units per acre. Table 3B-4 predicts all developable properties within the sewered area. 63.4 acres are identified for development at densities greater than 10 units per acre. Table 3C-8 shows the number of costs burdened households, households whose housing costs are at least 30%of their income. We consider this the demand of affordable housing. The demand of affordable housing, at 30% or less of the AMI is almost double the supply. Conversely, though, the supply of housing affordable to those at 51-80%of the AMI is over 4 times the demand. Based on these calculations and estimates, the greatest need of housing is for incomes at or below 30% of the AMI.

Housing Plan Subsidized Housing Units At the present time, the City of Orono does not contain any units of subsidized housing. This is due in part to the lack of or limited shopping and employment opportunities,public transportation, and medical facilities. HOUSING NEEDS IDENTIFICATION In assessing local housing needs, Orono has identified the need for a broader range of housing choices including starter homes, empty-nester, and senior housing, and an ongoing need for substantial housing rehabilitation. Our aging population is retiring and on fixed incomes. Orono has identified one of our greatest needs as housing rehabilitation for senior-citizen homeowners and for alternative senior housing accommodations in the immediate lake area. A second pressing need is for a wider range of housing options for middle income residents, such as those who grew up in Orono and would like to raise a family here, but cannot find suitably priced homes.A third identified need is for the empty nesters or professionals whose lifestyle better matches the amenities of attached unit housing. Orono's housing needs were identified in part through the LMACC Sub Regional Housing Study conducted in 1998. There may be an opportunity to review and update the Housing study. provided as the area around Wayzata Boulevard further develops. The northerly portion of this area is Metropolitan Livable Communities Program In 1995 the Minnesota legislature enacted the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act, which established funding for metro-area cities to invest in local economic revitalization and affordable housing initiatives.

SCOPE The time framework of the housing improvement plan is intended to address the requirements of the Metropolitan Council for the planning period of 2020 through 2040 and retain Orono's own housing character. The goals,policies and proposed housing programs contained in this Chapter are set in the context of the legislative mandate to plan for regional needs through the year 2040. In addition,the housing programs also reflect Orono's plans for permanent maintenance of the low density rural residential community. •- - . -, -• 9 . • .. . .. • •- - . . - . .-- •- _ - -• - - - --of both the urban and rural areas of Orono. Housing Goals 1. To provide housing types and residential densities consistent with environmental and land use plans and with the availability of public services and facilities. 2. To provide opportunities for a mix of housing types, locations, and cost ranges which will meet the needs and provide adequate housing for a broader range of ages, family groups, lifestyle needs and levels of income to the greatest extent practical. 3. To improve the housing conditions of persons residing in substandard housing. 4. To provide safe, healthful, and blight-free residences and neighborhoods. 5. To provide immediately beneficial housing programs for the greatest number of Orono residents with affordable housing needs. Urban Housing Policies 1. The residential areas of urban Orono are primarily suitable for single family development. Because of historic development patterns, most of Orono's urbanized neighborhoods are located along the Lake Minnetonka shoreline, or within 1,000 feet of the shoreline. These lands are environmentally sensitive to overuse or over development such as typically occurs with large scale developments. Urban residential development in a limited number of areas further from the shoreline at a density of 2-258 units per acre is compatible with Orono's environmental policies of limited hardcover and maximum retention of natural City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3C, Page 13 CMP Part 3C. Housing Plan open space and vegetation to protect Lake Minnetonka. 2. A wider range of housing types will be provided by planned residential developments. A limited amount of land is available within the Urban Service Area for planned developments of townhomes, garden type apartments or mixed residential and limited commercial land uses. These housing clusters or multiple family developments will be acceptable only where full urban services are available and only where the proposed density is compatible with the neighborhood and with local environmental constraints. Multiple family developments generally will not be considered appropriate for lands within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka. Additionally, County Road 15 is the key roadway serving Orono's urban areas and particularly the Navarre area. It is not practical from an economic or environmental standpoint to expand County Road 15 to increase its capacity. Therefore, additional housing options will be primarily developed along Orono's Highway 12 corridor in specifically identified areas that are or will be served by urban services. The City will consider proposals for developments that will provide housing types in furtherance of Orono's housing goals as established in this Housing Plan,for sites not currently 3. Urban density residential development must occur within the defined Urban Area. Orono's Community Management Plan is not a staged growth plan. The Urban Area as defined in this Plan will not be greatly expanded into the defined rural area, and urban services and facilities will not be extended into the rural area for purposes of fostering or allowing increased development in those areas. 4. Urban density residential development will utilize existing or planned public services and facilities. New residential development will be allowed to infill existing vacant properties within the Urban Area consistent with environmental limitations and with the existing or planned capacities of water, sewer, drainage, transportation and recreational facilities. New development will not be permitted to overburden these services at the expense of the existing users. New urban development will not be permitted if it requires additional unplanned local or regional facilities capacity. 5. The City will promote scattered site development as opposed to large scale tract development within the existing developed urban area. 6. The City will promote rehabilitation of existing older or substandard homes. Whereas there is no identifiable block of deteriorated housing in the City,there are a substantial number of older homes or converted cottages that are in need of repair, energy conservation measures, or major rehabilitation. In many cases, these homes are occupied by low income or fixed income persons who cannot undertake the needed work within their means. Maintaining existing neighborhoods and existing homes enables maintenance of affordability.Replacement of these homes, even with higher density development, would result in substantially increased housing prices. The City will promote private and subsidized public rehabilitation efforts to City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3C, Page 14 CMP Part 3C. Housing Plan improve the existing housing stock, to improve and maintain the neighborhoods, and most importantly to improve the living conditions of the affected citizens. 7. The City will promote development or rehabilitation that is compatible with the existing neighborhood.The City will encourage all homeowners and developers to be conscious of the neighborhood, the site and the environment in the design and improvement of residential properties. The City will encourage, and in many cases, require the retention of woods and vegetation, open spaces, light, air and scenic views.No new development will be permitted to conflict with or to adversely affect the established neighborhood character. Rural Housing Policies L Housing in rural Orono will be limited to single family homes at established rural densities. The majority of the rural area has been zoned to require a minimum of 2 acres of dry buildable land per residential lot, with an area in the northwest corner of the City requiring at least 5 dry buildable acres. 2 The City will promote rehabilitation of existing older or substandard rural homes. Rural Orono contains a significant number of older homes,which also require repair,energy conservation measures or major rehabilitation. These rural owners also require the same type of assistance often reserved for urban areas. Therefore, the City will promote private and subsidized public rehabilitation efforts in both urban and rural housing improvements programs. HOUSING ACTION PLAN Orono's Housing Action Plan is a set of implementation policies designed to achieve the above stated Housing Goals and Planning Policies. A top priority in Orono must be improving the housing conditions of persons who are presently inadequately housed and eliminating substandard housing. There are deteriorated and dilapidated housing units located throughout the City. Orono's Housing Action Plan is aimed principally at improving the condition of Orono's older homes, both urban and rural, and improving the housing conditions of Orono's many low, moderate and fixed income residents. L Orono will cooperate with neighboring cities to fulfill area-wide housing needs. Most apparent is the need of many senior Orono residents who desire to live in the immediate area,but who cannot find available senior housing. Orono will actively participate with nearby municipalities to facilitate the provision of senior housing at locations that are near to home yet also convenient to necessary shopping, transportation and medical facilities. 2 Orono will continue to participate in housing rehabilitation subsidy programs. Many Orono residents, both urban and rural, are occupying older housing that has code-related structural, safety or health hazards, substandard living conditions or energy inefficiencies. They would like to improve their housing condition and their neighborhood's appearance, but are unable to because of insufficient income. Orono will continue to actively participate in Community Development Block Grant and Minnesota Housing Finance Assistance programs designed to help these citizens meet their very City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3C, Page 15 CMP Part 3C. Housing Plan immediate housing needs. 3. Orono will encourage developers to provide a variety of housing types and cost ranges.Whenever a multiple family or clustered housing development is proposed, Orono will actively encourage setting aside a reasonable number of units for large families and/or for low and moderate income families. Orono will participate and assist developers in applications for loan guarantees or other suitable forms of housing subsidy aids which may be available. Orono will also consider proposals for lifecycle housing options for sites which have not been guided for such use, but where such use may be appropriate if developed in a manner that is sensitive to the surrounding land uses and has the necessary services available. Such areas may include property that is currently guided or zoned for more intense uses such as commercial or industrial, or may include sites adjacent to existing higher intensity uses. 4 Housing construction will be subject to uniform state building code requirements but will not be burdened with unnecessary zoning requirements. Orono does not intend to require arbitrary minimum dwelling sizes or minimum amenity installations as these artificial standards only drive up the cost of housing while limiting the buyer's freedom of choice. 5. Orono will promote energy conservation methods and procedures. Orono will actively pursue and advertise all available programs for energy conservation funding. 6. To achieve its housing goals outlined above,the City will evaluate opportunities to utilize public and non-profit programs or to partner with other agencies in these programs. There is a wide variety of tools and programs available to cities and property owners, developed to encourage affordable housing, and include the following. • • • . •• . . . • • • - . . • . . • . . . . . . . . . • • . . . . .. , •• - • .Property owners should be advised that while available, Orono has historically applied the use of Orono tax dollars very conservatively, only for projects that strongly met City housing, land use, environmental, and quality of life goals. • Orono Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The City Established an HRA in 1991. The City has used its HRA to assist in the development of Senior housing complex and may do so in the future. • Housing Bonds: Minnesota State Statute allows HRAs to issue housing bonds to provide affordable housing via the acquisition of an existing buildings,development of elderly or disability housing, or the acquisition of accumulated equity for low income preservation. • Tax Abatement: Cities may issue bonds to be used to support the construction of affordable housing, using a portion of the property tax received (tax abatement) from the development to finance these bonds. This removes this property from paying taxes for the services needed for this property, its residents and the community in general. The City may develop a tax abatement policy to determine if and when the level of affordable housing and the guaranteed length of affordability provide sufficient public benefit to justify the use of tax abatement. • Tax Increment Financing: Cities may create a housing district to create a tax increment financing (TIF) district. The TIF bonds issued on this district are to be used to support the construction of affordable housing, and property taxes received above the original tax value (increment) from the development are utilized to finance these bonds. The property tax revenue that otherwise would be available to pay for city services would be restricted and not available to pay for the services. The City may develop a TIF policy to determine if and when the level of affordable housing and City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3C, Page 16 CMP Part 3C. Housing Plan the guaranteed length of affordability to provide a public benefit is great enough to justify the use of tax increment financing. • Minnesota Housing Consolidated Request for Proposals:The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency provides a request for proposal (RFP) once annually where affordable housing developers can apply for funding to construct affordable housing. The City may consider supporting applications for new housing that addresses the City's need allocation of 244 units below 50%AMI based upon how well the proposed projects meet City objectives. • Community Development Block Grants (CDBG): The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)provides CDBG funds to communities with over 45,000 residents for the use of providing and maintaining affordable housing.Hennepin County HRA administers these CDBG funds for the City of OornoOrono. The City will consider applications that addresses the City's need allocation of 21'l 267 units below 50%AMI based upon how well the proposed projects meet City objectives. • Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Grants: The NSP was established by HUD for the focus of this program is the purchase, rehabilitation and resale of foreclosed and abandoned properties. The NSP grants are administered by the Hennepin County HRA. • Energy Assistance: Xcel Local-energy and Wright-Hennepin companies offer programs intended to encourage energy efficiency and responsible use of energy resources. Xcel energy promotes a bill payment assistance program. These programs and rebates rapidly change and the resident is encouraged to check with their energy provided periodically. • Livable Communities Grants: Administered by the Metropolitan Council, the Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) funds innovative (re)development projects that efficiently link housing,jobs,services and transit in an effort to create inspiring and lasting Livable Communities. Grants are available to fund basic public infrastructure and site assembly. ▪ The housing rehabilitation funding is provided through the Hennepin County housing supporting applications for new housing that addresses the City's need allocation of units below 50%AMI based upon how well the proposed projects meet City objectives. • Fee Waivers or Adjustments: State rules require that city fees correlate to the cost of providing the services. The city will closely monitor expenses as they relate to project review to ensure fees closely match expenses. • Zoning and Subdivision Policies: The City frequently grants variances and adjusts its zoning and subdivision regulations through a planned unit development (PUD). The City currently provides zoning incentives such as increased density and potential staging plan flexibility for projects which achieve the city's housing goals. • 4(d)Tax Program:The 4(d)tax program provides a 40%tax credit to property owners of affordable housing developers, to be leveraged with local government financial assistance. This program is administered through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. • Land Trusts: A land trust achieves affordable home ownership by owning the land on which a house is located, allowing the resident to seek financing only on the house. The resident enters into a long-term lease for the home. The advantage of a land trust is that the largest contributor to housing prices in Orono is the land, and the land trust removes that cost from the purchasing equation. Tthe trust can control the future sale of the property to ensure that affordability can be maintained and have the ability to scatter the land trust sites throughout the community. The disadvantage of a land trust is that it will take significant financial resources to purchase the land rights and those resources are never recovered during the period that the property remains City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3C,Page 17 CMP Part 3C. Housing Plan affordable. Orono may evaluate if joining the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust is the most efficient way to use its resources to provide affordable housing. 7. Update Housing study. Recognizing multiplication of households that rent,the City may consider an update of a housing study, last completed in the Navarre area in 1997-1998 to better understand this trend. Further, the city will work to educate renters and owners on Fair Housing practices. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3C, Page 18 CMP Part 4A.

Transportation Plan CMP PART 4A TRANSPORTATION PLAN INTRODUCTION The City of Orono's transportation system generally operates well today. The City's multimodal transportation system includes facilities for personal vehicles, freight, walking, and bicycling. Facilities are operated by a number of agencies, including the City of Orono, Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park District, MnDOT, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad. This transportation chapter has been prepared in compliance with state statues and applicable Metropolitan Council guidelines. As part of this plan, the City has reviewed existing and future conditions for each mode and identified safety, operations, and network improvements that will be important to address before 2040. The City has also developed goals, objectives, and strategies to preserve and improve the transportation system. PURPOSE AND SCOPE Metropolitan Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) This plan has been prepared to be consistent with the regional transportation strategies outlined in the Metropolitan Council 2040 Transportation Policy Plan (TPP). The TPP is a regional plan that evaluates the existing transportation system, identifies transportation challenges to the region, and sets regional goals, objectives, and priorities to meet the transportation needs of current residents while accommodating the region's anticipated growth. The TPP also guides local agencies in coordinating land use and transportation and established regional performance measures and targets. The TPP is guided by the following goals: • Transportation system stewardship: Sustainable investments in the transportation system are protected by strategically preserving, maintaining, and operating system assets. • Safety and Security: The regional transportation system is safe and secure for all users. • Access to Destinations: People and businesses prosper by using a reliable, affordable, and efficient multimodal transportation system that connects them to destinations throughout the region and beyond. • Competitive Economy: The regional transportation system supports the economic competitiveness, vitality, and prosperity of the region and State. • Healthy Environment: The regional transportation system contributes to communities' livability and sustainability while protecting the natural, cultural, and developed environments. • Leveraging Transportation Investment to Guide Land Use: The region leverages transportation investments to guide land use and development patterns that advance the regional vision of stewardship,prosperity, livability, equity, and sustainability. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 2 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan • Lake Access, Preservation, and Management. Access to the Lake recognizes the value of the lake and reinforces the desire to protect its value to the community and the region. Funding is a key constraint that is acknowledged in the TPP. Current transportation revenue will not meet the region's transportation needs through 2040. As a result, the TPP includes two long- term investment scenarios: a fiscally-constrained scenario under current revenue,and an increased revenue scenario that identifies priorities should additional transportation funding become available. Under the current fiscally constrained revenue scenario, the TPP is focused on operations and maintenance of the existing transportation system. Investments in highway mobility and access are limited to those that address multiple TPP goals and objectives. The increased revenue scenario would allow additional investments in operations and maintenance, as well as regional mobility, access, safety, and bicycle/pedestrian improvements. However,congestion cannot be greatly reduced under even the increased revenue scenario. Under both scenarios, proposed investments are focused on areas of the metro with the greatest existing and future challenges and anticipated growth. Orono's Place within the TPP Orono is classified by the Metropolitan Council under the Emerging Suburban Edge and Rural Residential community designations. The TPP does not include any planned regional investments in Orono. ROADWAYS The sections below provide information about the existing and future roadway system within Orono; including functional classification,jurisdictions, capacity, safety, access management, and maintenance. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A,Page 3 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan t__________) Image:MnDOT Fur Figure 4A-1. Functional The Classifications .ganizes a roadway and street network that distributes traffic from local neighborhood streets to collector roadways, then to minor arterials and ultimately the principal arterial system. Roads are placed into categories based on the degree to which they provide access to adjacent land and mobility for through traffic. Functional classification gives an indication of the relative hierarchy of roadways in the transportation network. Four classes of roadways are included in the Seven-County Metropolitan Area functional classification system: principal arterials, minor arterials, collector streets, and local streets. Map 4A-1T--1—shows the existing functional classification of each road in the City of Orono and Map 4A-2T2 shows existing roadway jurisdiction. The following sections describe each functional class in greater detail and indicate which roadways fall into each classification.

Within the metropolitan area, the great majority of principal arterials are under MnDOT jurisdiction. Principal arterials are typically Interstate highways or other state or US freeways or expressways. Principal arterials also connect to other cities, regions, and states outside of the metropolitan area. Principal arterials are intended to maintain average speeds of 40 mph during peak traffic periods.To maintain mobility and speeds on principal arterials, land access and transportation system connections are limited. There is little to no direct land access from principal arterials.Access is limited to interstate freeways,other Principal Arterials, and A Minor Arterials. Access points are typically grade-separated or controlled with a signal and are spaced approximately one to two miles apart. Within the City of Orono, there is one principal arterial: US Highway 12. The TPP does not identify any specific regional mobility improvements on this highway, although maintenance and preservation investments will be made on all highways. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 5 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan Minor Arterials The minor arterial system supplements the principal arterial system and provides connections to the principal arterial system. Minor arterials also support access to major traffic generators, including regional job concentrations and freight terminals,and between rural centers within and just outside the region. Access points along minor arterials are generally at-grade and typically controlled with signals or stop signs. The Metropolitan Council has established a system of "A" Minor and Other Minor arterials. "A" Minor arterials are eligible for federal funding administered by the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council has further split"A"Minor arterials into four types,described below. The City has threeene(3-1-) miles of minor arterial roads. • A Minor Arterials Other Relievers Augmenters Expanders Connectors Purpose Provide Supplement Supplement the Provide safe, These supplementary the principal principal arterial direct roadways capacity for arterial system system in less connections connect major congested, in more densely between rural traffic parallel densely developed or centers and to generators in principal developed or redeveloping principal arterials the region. arterial redeveloping areas in rural areas Other arterials areas without adding are not eligible continuous for federal general purpose funding lane capacity Hennepin CSAH 112 CSAH 6 CSAH 6 (West Willow Drive County CSAH 15 of McCulley N(N of System CSAH 19 (S of Rd) CSAH 6) 15) CSAH 19 (N of CSAH 15) Orono McCulley Road System Collector Streets Collector streets provide linkages to larger developments and community amenities. They generally do not link communities to one another. Collector streets generally favor access to the system over mobility, but try to balance the two competing needs. These roadways are generally lower speed than the principal or minor arterial routes. They are usually owned and operated by cities,although counties operate some of these facilities. Orono has 20 miles of Collector Streets. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 6 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan Major Collector Minor Collector Major collectors serve higher density Minor collectors serve shorter local trips and lower Purpose residential areas (often penetrating density land uses (often penetrating residential residential neighborhoods for neighborhoods only for a short distance). significant distances), job and activity centers and freight terminals that are not on the arterial system, and they serve longer local trips, including local bus service.

In most cases, local streets connect to other local streets and collectors. In some cases,they connect to minor arterials. Local streets serve short trips at low speeds. Local streets are under the jurisdiction of the City of Orono. Orono currently has 27 miles of publicly owned local streets. Orono's history has had a significant impact on the local road way systems. Northern Rural Orono Roads The straight-line road grid system in central and northern Orono was established along section lines a century ago to efficiently serve the agricultural activity in the City. This grid has readily adapted to use as a collector system for the many local and private roads created to serve new rural residential subdivisions in the last 40-50 years. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 7 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan Southern Lakeshore Roads The seasonal recreational uses that grew up along Orono's 40 miles of Lake Minnetonka shoreline a century ago resulted in a network of winding roads that commonly followed the center of the narrow peninsulas between bays, creating local road frontage for lakeshore lots while also often serving as the main road between settlements. A large number of these roads do not meet current road specifications as they are narrow, winding roads with steep slopes. Private Roads A private road is a privately owned and privately maintained road, located in the rural area or within a planned development that functions as a local access street. In order to curb maintenance expenses the city has, since the 1980s,maintained a policy that developments in Orono's rural area would be serviced by privately maintained roads. The city does require that the private roads are built to city standards and that the city is granted an underlying easement to ensure right of access. As a result Orono currently has 20 miles of privately owned and maintained roads. All urban properties should be directly served by the public street system. Rural properties should be served by private streets unless through streets. State Aid Roads To support the state's system of streets, roads and bridges, MnDOT distributes funds for highway maintenance and construction to counties, cities and townships based on a formula determined by the Legislature.

City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 8 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan Roadway Capacity A roadway's capacity indicates how many vehicles may use a roadway before it experiences congestion. Capacity is largely dependent upon Table 4A-5 Design CVacity the number of lanes. The table below Table 4A- `b 5 lists planning-level thresholds that indicate a Roadway Type Daily Capacity roadway's capacity. Additional variation (more Planning Level(ADT) or less capacity) on an individual segment is Two-lane undivided 10,000 influenced by a number of factors including: urban amount of access, type of access, peak hour Two-lane undivided 15,000 percent of traffic,directional split of traffic,truck rural percent, opportunities to pass, and amount of Three-lane urban 17,000 turning traffic, the availability of dedicated turn (two-lane divided lanes, parking availability, intersection spacing, with turn lanes) signal timing and a variety of other factors. Roadway Capacity—Traffic Forecasting The Metropolitan Council uses Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZs) for traffic forecasting.Each forecast study area, in this case the City of Orono, is divided into a series of TAZs (see Map T34A-3). The TAZ data for Orono can be found at Appendix A. The modeling shows the majority to the projected growth in the city within the TAZs that correspond with City Municipal Utility Service Areas (MUSA) which further corresponds to the cities areas for higher existing and planned densities. Current and Future Regional/Hennepin County Capacity At the planning level, capacity problems are identified by comparing the existing number of lanes with current traffic volumes. The table below illustrates the existing number of lanes on state and county arterial roadways within the City. To identify the need for potential future capacity improvements, Hennepin County compared 2030 forecasts to planning-level roadway capacities. Nearly all State and County roadways within the City have adequate capacity to handle forecast 2040 traffic volumes with little to minimal congestion. (See Map 4A-T-4). Based on traffic counts in 2015 the only Hennepin County road currently undersized based on capacity is Shoreline Drive(CSAH 15). The 2015 ADT for CSAH 15 was 17,600. Those roads projected to exceed their design capacity by 2030 are highlighted red below. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 9 CMP Part 4A.

Transportation Plan County Road 15 is the primary minor arterial for commuter traffic through southern Orono. Because County Road 15 abuts the shoreline along much of its route,the City is committed to retaining its character as that of a scenic parkway serving local residences. Such a character is incompatible with its minor arterial function.It would therefore be preferable to reduce the volume of traffic on County Road 15 by providing an additional east-west corridor in southern Orono. However, the configuration of Lake Minnetonka's-s bays and the severe topography between them,as well as the large number of wetlands in the shoreland I areas,preclude the development of such a corridor. To address this issue, the Ring Route was established in 1980 by connecting County Road 19 to County Road 6 via McCulley Road,providing a relatively direct route northeastward to Highway 12 from the western Lake Minnetonka area. The City will encourage the use of this ring route to address traffic congestion through the Navarre Area. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 11 CMP Part 4A.

This needs to be accomplished through a combination of engineering, education, and enforcement and is to be targeted towards all users including drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The City continues to proactively work with the county and other regional local and state partners to incorporate safety into all transportation designs and efforts. In order to address safety issues on city streets the City adopted a Traffic Management Policy in 2014. The policy is intended to provide a systematic process for the City to address traffic concerns by a consistently applying City Code and other applicable laws and regulations while incorporating a wide variety of traffic management and safety techniques. Access Management The purpose of access management is to provide adequate access to adjacent land development while maintaining acceptable traffic flow on higher Freeway level roadways.

The agency with jurisdiction over a Curve City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 13 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan roadway sets access management guidelines. Regional/County Road Access Access to US 12 must meet MnDOT access management guidelines and is permitted subject to conditions. Hennepin County has established access management guidelines for county roads. Hennepin County requires permits for new driveway access to county roads and when land uses change at a site adjacent to a county road. In addition,the county reviews development plats for access management compliance. Hennepin County typically requires that new access points meet its guidelines; however, the county can make exceptions to the guidelines with sufficient justification. (See Hennepin County Transportation Plan for detailed county access requirements and guidelines). Orono Access Management Management of access to principal and minor arterials is necessary to ensure a safe and efficient arterial system. Direct individual property access to arterials is regulated in the Orono Municipal Code by requiring development of local 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 arterials; and by a number of other regulations involving the location, type and number of access points to the arterial roadway system. However,many of southern Orono's arterials near the Lake Minnetonka shoreline have historically served a dual function as both arterials and as local/collector streets,due to geographic and topographic limitations. It should be noted that there are existing access points that do not meet City, County, and MnDOT access spacing guidelines. In most cases these access points were established prior to agency access spacing guidelines. In other cases the agency has granted an exception to the existing guidelines. As roadways are reconstructed, each of these agencies generally works to modify and/or relocate access points that do not meet current access spacing guidelines in the interest of long term safety and efficiency.

Transportation Plan cost effective than waiting until the pavement is in poor condition when it is necessary to perform more costly maintenance or reconstruction. An effective preservation programs addresses pavements while they are still in good condition. A cost-effective treatment in a timely manner will restore the pavement almost to its original condition. By doing so, the cumulative costs of such treatment are substantially less then reconstruction or major rehabilitation over the life of the pavement. In addition the disruption of traffic is less for more frequent and minimal treatments in comparison to larger construction treatments. A proper Pavement Preservation program consists of three primary components: Table 4A-8 Maintenancer . M.4 i;$` a �'.

Geiger, D.R.,Pavement Preservation Definitions, FHWA Memorandum dated 12 September 2005. County Road/Pavement Maintenance Hennepin County implemented a pavement management system in 1996 to identify roadway maintenance priorities. The pavement management system tracks pavement condition to help decision making regarding the cost / benefit trade-offs of road reconstruction versus lower level maintenance strategies. The Program is used by the County to develop priorities for pavement maintenance projects on county roads. (See Hennepin county Transportation Plan for details on their Maintenance program) Orono Road/Pavement Maintenance The primary need for Orono Roadways in the coming years is maintenance. Over the last decade Orono had underfunded road maintenance and replacement operations and therefore the roads have fallen in to disrepair. Orono adopted a pavement management system in 2014 to identify roadway maintenance priorities. The pavement management system tracks pavement condition to help decision making regarding the cost / benefit trade-offs of road reconstruction versus lower level maintenance strategies. While a certain share of the City's annual levy is dedicated to Pavement Management Fund (PMF) each year for maintenance, much of the city's infrastructure is aging. This is particularly challenging in the older,more developed parts of the city. Many of these roads are old, were not initially designed to support the land use forms desired today, are not pedestrian or bicycle friendly, and are in need of both infrastructure and land use revitalization. Also a lack of adequate funding for preventive maintenance activities has resulted in a great deal of deferred maintenance. This deferred maintenance has undesirable consequences from a financial as well City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 15 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan as a user perspective, and effective planning is needed to ensure that quality infrastructure is sustained over time. Streets that receive no preventive maintenance are often beyond repair in just ten years, while streets that are properly maintained at critical stages in the life-cycle can last up to twenty-five years or more. Local roadway maintenance has the potential to become more of an issue in the future due to Orono's reliance on privately maintained roads to serve the rural neighborhoods. Orono's 20 miles of private rural area roadways are currently maintained by individual property owners or through neighborhood homeowners associations. Conversion of these private roadways to a public status with public maintenance would result in Orono's road maintenance costs increasing substantially. Bridge Maintenance State and Ceounty Bridges The vast majority of bridges located within Orono fall under the jurisdiction of the state and county. Orono Bridges All three bridges under Orono roadway jurisdiction have been completely replaced within the past ten years. These include the bridges on West Ferndale Road, Fox Street, and McCulley Road. The three bridges are enrolled in the state bridge maintenance systems and received bi-annual inspections. TRAILS This section addresses network needs for walking and bicycling within the City of Orono. This section includes information on the existing non-motorized transportation network within Orono, connections to land use planning,the planned local non-motorized transportation network, and the planned regional non- motorized transportation network. This section also includes recommendations for intersection improvements and design best practices. This section also addresses the needs of people using wheelchairs and assistive mobility devices such as mobility scooters, as they are considered pedestrians. Existing Non-Motorized Transportation System The existing non-motorized transportation system consists of sidewalks, multi-use paved trails, turf trails, and paved shoulders. Map 4A-6T 6 depicts the existing and planned trails within the City limits of Orono. There are currently limited facilities for walking and bicycling in the City, and these facilities serve recreational uses better than transportation uses. There is not currently a connected network in place to serve the needs of people bicycling and walking for transportation. Regional Non-Motorized Transportation Network The Metropolitan Council established a Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN) in 2015. The RBTN establishes regional priorities for bicycle transportation so that regional destinations are accessible by bicycle. Regional multi-use trails within the City limits include the Luce Line, Dakota and Independence Regional trails and are owned and operated by Three Rivers Park District and the Minnesota DNR. Several existing and planned trails and shoulders will be key links in the expanding regional non-motorized transportation network. A Tier 1 alignment, City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 16 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan identified in the RBTN, includes a segment of Shadywood,north from excelsior, connecting to the Dakota Rail Trail. There are no other connections contemplated by the RBTN. Orono Non-Motorized Transportation Network Sidewalks are generally located within newer residential developments and more dense residential and commercial portions of the city. As part of our recreation-open space plan, Orono has developed a trail plan focused on providing links between both local and regional recreational and open space areas, as well as links within the urban areas for pedestrian and bicycle access to Orono's Navarre commercial area and links between the Orono Schools and the Long Lake downtown area. Connections to Land Use Planning The City of Orono has development patterns consistent with its designation as an Emerging Suburban Edge and Rural Residential community.Existing residential development is low density and commercial land uses are separated from residential land uses.This means that people walking and bicycling must cover greater distances to reach commercial areas from their homes. The development patterns in the City are better suited to bicycling than walking, due to the distance between residential and commercial areas of the City. Non-Motorized Transportation Design Considerations As non-motorized facilities are planned and designed,the City should consult additional planning and design resources, including: • Hennepin County Bicycle Transportation Plan • Hennepin County Pedestrian Plan • MnDOT Bikeway Facility Design Manual • Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices • Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities—American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials • Guide for the Planning, Design, and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities—American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials • Public Rights of Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG)—US Access Board Accessibility Accessibility is a very important consideration for non-motorized design. All new pedestrian and bicycle facilities must meet the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility guidelines. To address accessibility issues, the City developed and adopted and ADA transition plan in 2017 aimed at bringing sidewalks, trails, and intersections into compliance with ADA guidelines. Trail Policy It is the policy of the City to encourage the development of sidewalks and trails. In urban densities, sidewalks should be added to at least one side of roads. In all development densities, connections to the existing or planned trail network should be made or rights preserved. The City will support the expansion of trails and or bike lanes if feasible. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 17 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan LAKE ACCESS, PRESERVATION, AND MANAGEMENT Orono's lakes provide a significant recreational resource for all Orono residents. This value was long ago realized by City leaders. In order to provide lake access for the general public, as well as to provide for fire department access to the lake as a water source, a number of lake access corridors were created as the shore land developed. These typically are platted, dedicated right-of-ways leading from the local road system to the shoreline, and are commonly from 16'to 66' in width. These right-of-ways (often referred to as "fire lanes" or "lake access roads") vary considerably in their proximity to traffic,parking availability,proximity to housing,lakeshore conditions,and other factors that effect their recreational value. Some of these corridors have been maintained by the City for local swimming beaches or as winter snowmobile and ice-fishing accesses. Certain accesses have docks for fishing, and some have ramp areas suitable for launching a small boat. However, most do not have designated parking available, and are primarily intended to serve the neighborhood rather than the general public.A number of these access corridors have steep topography, shallow water depths,undesirable lake bottom conditions, and/or dense vegetation and experience little or no usage. Of the City lake accesses shown in Table 4A-9,half of those located outside of Big Island are either undeveloped or closed to public use. In addition to Orono's relatively small public lake access corridors, other governmental agencies own and operate significantly larger lake access properties in Orono. These include the DNR Maxwell Bay Access, Hennepin County's North Arm Access and Hennepin County's Noerenberg Gardens Memorial Park.These three large facilities benefit from Metro Transit bus service on their County Road 51 frontage, and are used regularly by visitors from the greater metropolitan area and beyond. The Noerenberg Gardens lack the docks and ramps supplied at the nearby Maxwell Bay and North Arm locations, however the Noerenberg shoreline in Maxwell Bay is a popular place for boaters to anchor and swim. Even more popular destinations for Lake Minnetonka boaters are the Hennepin County beach at Cruiser's Cove on Big Island, and Orono's Big Island Park, which has dockage and hiking areas. Orono also owns and operates Summit Park on Long Lake. Orono offers public lake access through five commercial marinas within its boundaries.Its private recreational facilities with lake shore are Camp Teko on North Arm Bay and the Minnetonka Power Squadron on Big Island.

TRANSIT Orono is categorized as a Transit area IV. Transit Market Area IV has lower concentrations of population and employment and a higher rate of auto ownership. It is primarily composed of Suburban Edge and Emerging Suburban Edge communities. This market can support peak-period express bus services if a sufficient concentration of commuters likely to use transit service is located along a corridor. The low- density development and suburban form of development presents challenges to fixed-route transit.General public dial-a-ride services are appropriate in Market Area IV. The three primary routes serving Orono are Express Route 675 and 677, which provide express service to downtown from the Mound, Navarre and Wayzata commercial areas along County Road 15, and Express Route 674 which provides similar express service to western and central Orono,Long Lake and Wayzata. The TPP's Transit Investment Plan does not show any transitway investments planned for Orono in the Current Revenue Scenario. (See Map T-4A-7).To expand the reach of these fixed routes, the City will promote dial a ride services throughout the city. The Transportation Policy Plan discusses the expansion of Transit Advantages,though none are expressly identified within Orono boundaries. Given the limited right of way and the growing congestion of County Road 15 through Navarre, improvements and programs to expand Transit Advantage in the area should be closely considered. FREIGHT Freight transportation in Orono is primarily served by a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) rail line parallel to US 12. There are no freight facilities within Orono. The BNSF rail line does not cross any roadways within the City. There are no large freight traffic generators within the City. Most truck and rail traffic is passing through Orono on trips to, from, and through the Twin Cities. Heavy truck traffic is for the most part constrained to roads under Hennepin County and State Jurisdiction. (See Map T4A-8) The development of the lake areas in Orono as seasonal recreational in the late 1800s early 1900's established many of the transportation patterns found throughout the community. In the lake areas, this pattern led to roads that are substandard to todays standards. Local residential roads are not designed for City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 22 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan heavy freight movement. As the City expands its maintenance program, improvements to turning radii, width, and stormwater retention are considered. There are no known where truck access is not available. AVIATION Orono is not in an influence area of a regional airport and is therefore not subject to associated land use restrictions. . Airspace protection should be included in local codes/ordinances to control height of structures. There are currently no existing or planned aviation facilities within the City of Orono. However,the City is responsible for airspace protection in order to reduce hazards to air travel within the region. Given the distance to the nearest airports, there are no radio beacons or other air navigation aids located in off-airport locations in Orono. Any person or organization who intends to sponsor the construction or alteration of a structure affecting navigable airspace as defined in Federal Regulation Title 14; Part 77 needs to inform the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) of the project. This notification is accomplished through the completion and submittal to FAA of Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. In Orono,this requirement applies to any construction or alteration exceeding 200 feet above ground level. The City's zoning code allows a maximum structure height of 30 feet; therefore it is unlikely that any structures in the City will require FAA notification. There are no seaplane bases located within the City. There are currently no heliports in Orono nor any known plans to construct one. Orono will support the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District in the control of seaplane operation on Lake Minnetonka.The existing level of seaplane operation is satisfactory to Orono. The City will support the LMCD in their monitoring of seaplane operation and in any reasonable changes in regulations necessary to prevent seaplane conflict with the primary boating use of the lake. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN This section of the Plan provides the goals objectives and strategies that can help city officials implement the Transportation Plan and make wise long-term decisions. Goals and Objectives The following table (4A-10) displays the goals and objectives of the Orono Transportation Plan. The goals listed below represent the City's overall vision for transportation over the next 20 years. The objectives listed below provide guidance that the City can use to reach the transportation goals. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 23 CMP Part 4A.

Commuter and general arterial traffic must be directed away from Lake Minnetonka. The sensitive environment of Lake Minnetonka,and the property rights of the riparian landowners, are being damaged by continued reliance on this outmoded roadway location. 2. Orono will actively promote use of the Ring Route and Highway 12 to provide viable efficient alternatives to continued over-use of County Road 15. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A, Page 24 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan 3. Existing collector and arterial roadways will be upgraded as necessary in a manner that does not encourage additional commercial traffic or through commuter traffic on any of the City's primary north-south collector roads. These roads,specifically Orono Orchard Road,Brown Road, Willow Drive and Old Crystal Bay Road,are primarily located in the rural area and serve a dual function both as collectors and as local streets. Discouraging expansion of their use by non- local traffic will help to preserve the rural character of the area while enhancing safety. 4. Orono will support the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District in the control of seaplane operation on Lake Minnetonka. 5. It is the city's intent to retain lake access (pedestrian, vehicular, boat) for public use. The City will individually evaluate existing lake access corridors and fire lanes as requested, taking into consideration the unique characteristics of each location,such as topography,water depth and quality, lake bottom conditions,the type of vegetation, and any potential for related lake access, drainage, or water quality improvement. 6. As always, both public and private property rights will be considered. To this end,the City will be guided thusly: a The City will identify and take necessary action to preserve the public's right to use of any such accesses which exist but which may not have been formally dedicated. h The City will endeavor to work with property owners adjacent to lake access corridors to ensure that both the rights of the public and the rights of the private landowner are upheld. 7. Orono will consider conversions of private roads to public roads as requested on a case by case basis. The factors considered in evaluating a proposal may include: a. The condition of the street. The condition of the street is consistent with city standards. b. Affected property owners. The desire of the affected property owners. The city does not intend to acquire maintenance responsibility for private roads unless requested by a majority of affected property owners, or c. Safety. If the condition of the road restricts access to the parcels by emergency vehicles, the City may affect the improvements. d. Ownership. Provision of Right of way or an easement Urban Transportation Policies 1. Local streets in the urban area will be owned and maintained by the City. 2. All urban properties should be directly served by the public street system. 3. Urban streets will be constructed to urban design standards. 4. Curb cuts and driveway locations will be limited for traffic safety. 5. On-street parking will be strictly limited.All urban development must provide adequate on- City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4A,Page 25 CMP Part 4A. Transportation Plan site parking facilities. 6. The City will pursue additional pedestrian and bike-hike trail facilities. 7. The City will promote improved mass transportation services for urban neighborhoods, including park and rides.

Discharge Ordinance City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 1 CMP Part 4B. Sanitary Sewer Plan INTRODUCTION The City of Orono is required to prepare a Community Management Plan that aligns with the Metropolitan Council's Metropolitan System Plan every ten years per Minnesota Rule 473.858. An important part of the Community Management Plan is the Sanitary Sewer Plan,which describes the existing sanitary sewer system and outlines the timing and sequence of future improvements. The Sanitary Sewer Plan allows the City and Metropolitan Council to build and improve their sanitary sewer collection and treatment systems so that development can occur in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. This document serves as the sanitary sewer component for the City of Orono's 2040 Community Management Plan. The City of Orono's Sanitary Sewer Plan was developed to meet the requirements of the Metropolitan Council's Thrive MSP 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan. The Thrive MSP 2040 Plan was approved in May 2015 and outlines regional goals for the wastewater system, including environmental sustainability, water reuse, and water conservation. Additionally, the Thrive MSP 2040 Plan includes population, household, and employment projections, and projected wastewater flows. As a result of projected population increases and land use changes in Orono, the Metropolitan Council estimates that sanitary sewer flows will increase approximately 20%between 2010 and 2040. This Sanitary Sewer Plan serves as a guiding document for City infrastructure improvements and expansion. It also outlines the locations in which the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) can expect to see increased wastewater flows, allowing the Council to determine if capacity upgrades will be required at regional wastewater treatment plants and interceptors. Background The City of Orono is located in western Hennepin County and is bordered by Medina to the north, Wayzata and Plymouth to the east, and Minnetrista and Independence to the West. The Cities of Long Lake and Minnetonka Beach are completely contained within Orono. The City of Orono is primarily residential and is dominated in the south by Lake Minnetonka. Approximately 34% of the City is covered by lakes and wetlands. Orono is classified by the Metropolitan Council under the Emerging Suburban Edge and Rural Residential community designations. Orono's long range land use plans call for permanent maintenance of the existing low density rural residential areas. There is to be no staged growth plan for conversion of low density residential uses to higher density residential uses,and expansion of the existing urban service area will occur only within a few specifically planned areas. Therefore,the goals,plans and programs for on-site sewage treatment in rural Orono are intended to be permanently self-sufficient. Potential future demands on regional capacity will be primarily from the retrofitting of existing rural residential neighborhoods where sewer is readily available and where residents are willing to pay the costs associated with its installation. The goals,policies and facilities plans contained in this plan are set in the context of the legislative mandate to plan for regional needs through the year 2040 and beyond. These statistics and programs are primarily applicable to the urban areas of Orono and to the municipal sanitary sewer facilities which serve or are planned to serve these areas. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 2 CMP Part 4B. Sanitary Sewer Plan EXISTING SANITARY SEWER SYSTEMS Land Use Historic development patterns have resulted in a city which is partially urban and partially rural. The citizens of Orono have decided that a long range planning objective of the City is the permanent retention of the rural community. This objective is in line with the existing developed density of the area, with the similar plans of other cities abutting the rural area, and with the legislative intent of metropolitan planning such that expensive urban services not be over extended into undeveloped areas. Sewering of the urban area was is necessary. The character and historic density of land use in the existing urban area of Orono,coupled with its general proximity to Lake Minnetonka both required and economically justified the installation of sanitary sewer to alleviate existing health and environmental problems. Rural lakeshore areas within the Shore land and within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area tMUSA)have been provided with municipal sewer service upon request. Residences, existing or proposed within the designated Shore land Overlay District and within the MUSA for which municipal sewer service was requested were and shall be provided with municipal sewer. However, this policy will not preclude development of such areas using fully conforming Individual Sewage Treatment Systems. Metropolitan Council Facilities The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services LMCESowns, operates and maintains interceptor sewer and facilities in Orono as indicated in the map at Appendix Amap 4B-1. The Orono system is serviced by MCES meters; M431 and M435. Sewage flows from southern Orono are metered at MCES Meter M435. Flows from north central Orono are metered at MCES Meter M431. MCES maintains six lift stations within Orono; L44, L45, L46, L49, L59 and L60. All sewage outflow from Orono is conveyed to and treated at MCES's Blue Lake Treatment Plant on the Minnesota River in Shakopee. Orono's sewer service capacity is limited by the capacity of the intervening interceptors including the Orono-Long Lake Interceptor, and not strictly by the capacity of the Blue Lake Facility. A history of the MUSA expansion can be found on Map 4B- 2. Orono Sanitary Sewer System The City of Orono owns, operates and maintains municipal sanitary sewer facilities as indicated on the Map bel4ow4B-3. Orono's sanitary sewer system currently consists of approximately 245,131 ft of Sewer Main, 80,530 ft of Force Main, 1292 Manholes and 44 lift stations, of which a majority was built within the last 50 years. The City of Orono's existing Sanitary Sewer System limits are defined by the boundaries of the Municipal Utility Service Area (MUSA). Because of topography and historic development patterns, the Orono municipal sewer system includes a number of disconnected sections which can be categorized into 5 distinct service areas. In addition the topography of the area has resulted in the City constructing 44 Lift Stations. Orono System is at Appendix B. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 3 CMP Part 4B. Sanitary Sewer Plan 1. Southwest Orono System(MCES metershed M435): This system consists of two sub systems; the Lift Station 59 system and the downstream interceptors system. The Lift Station 59 system consists of all lines which are upstream from and ultimately discharge to MCES Lift Station #59 (LS-59).The system was constructed with eighteen projects from 1964 to 2007. This is the original municipal sewer system and it still serves the majority of urban Orono. These lines were installed to provide pollution abatement and sewer service to the Navarre business area and to the urban residential areas along Lake Minnetonka. The downstream interceptors system consists of all trunk and lateral lines which directly discharge to the Orono-Long Lake Interceptor(MCES 7113 and 7113A) downstream from L.S. 59 but upstream of Meter# 435. These direct discharges are via City-owned and maintained lift stations pumping into the MCES force main at a limited number of locations. Construction occurred during 1980-2014. 2. Highway 12 Area System (MCES metershed M431): This system consists of all lines which are upstream from and ultimately discharge to LS-60. Construction consisted of sixteen Projects from 1967 to 2018. This portion of the municipal system was initially constructed as an extension of the Long Lake municipal system primarily to provide sewer(and water)service to the Orono High School. This system currently serves all of the urban and commercial area in the North West portion of the city along the County Road 6 and 112 corridor. 3. Long Lake Connections. This system consist of all of the lines that connect directly into the Long Lake Municipal Sewer System. The system was constructed in a series of projects from 1970 to 2018. 4. Wayzata System Extensions: Sewer laterals which connect to extensions of the Wayzata sewer system along Orono's eastern boundary. Construction consisted of six Projects 1970-2009. This portion of the Orono municipal sewer system functions as an extension of the Wayzata system serving existing housing adjacent to the Wayzata border. 5. Plymouth Direct Connection. The City has one property directly connected to the Plymouth municipal system, St. Edwards Church on North Ferndale Road. No further connections to the Plymouth system are anticipated. 6. Lift Stations. The Orono Sanitary Sewer system is serviced by 44 Lift Stations, listed on Table 4B-1: Lift Stations. 7. Agreements with Adjacent Cities. In order to provide municipal sanitary service in the most cost effective manner the City of Orono partners with neighboring cities. Orono residents are served by connection to Plymouth, Long Lake and Wayzata. Orono provides service to residents from Wayzata, Spring Park and Medina. Table 4B-2 below lists the current agreements with other municipalities. 6: City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 4 CMP Part 4B.

Sanitary Sewer Plan Orono Private Treatment Systems The City of Orono's rural areas are served by Individual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS). A map of Existing ISTS's in Orono is at Appendix CMap 4B-4. Orono Code regulating ISTS can be found in Appendix D. This ordinance was updated in July of 2018 to be consistent with Hennepin County regulations and State law. This Chapter 58 is consistent with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regulations adopted as (Minnesota Rules Chapters 7080 7083). The provisions specify technical standards, site evaluations, sizing requirements, and minimum setbacks from floodplains and wetlands for individual systems. Every three years the City notifies homeowners to provide maintenance to their septic systems and submit inspection reports to the City. If a complaint is submitted about a septic system, the city is responsible for performing an inspection of the system. Based on City building records, an inventory of septic services is listed below: a s'vidual Sewage Treatment Sy ms (2018) Residential 1024 Institutional (Churches, Golf courses) 5 Total On-Site systems 1029 Source: City Building Records All public or privately owned Community Wastewater Treatment Systems are included in the residential calculation. FORECASTS Land Use Orono's land use plan calls for development in both the urban and the rural portions of the City. The urban area will see new residential development on the existing vacant lots and undeveloped parcels at densities of 1-3-25 units per acre. Urban commercial development will be restricted to neighborhood services in the existing Navarre Area and fuller utilization of the industrial and commercial potential near Long Lake. Overall urban density will remain relatively low because of the ecological considerations of proximity to Lake Minnetonka. The rural area will see continued residential development at a slow,steady pace in a manner similar to that of the past three decades. Strict subdivision review will ensure adequate retention of privately maintained open space, limited to open space recreation. The majority of the rural area has been zoned to require a •-• • - - . - - ..' •. : • and per residential lot, with an arca in the northwest corner : . _ . . . .. .. . - . - . - - . - , ... , .. . .. : • - - - :!0 • ' • - • •-from approximately 1 unit per 3 gross acres up to 1 unit per 7 gross acres, sufficient to meet the City's environmental protection goals. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 7 CMP Part 4B. Sanitary Sewer Plan Population The Metropolitan Council publishes population and sewer usage forecasts for each city in the Metropolitan Area. MCES use these growth and wastewater flow forecasts to plan future interceptor and treatment works to serve communities.The forecast data in the table below is from the Metropolitan Council's Local Planning Handbook Community Page for Orono and includes both total and sewered population, households, and employment.

The treatment plan currently processes 26 Million Gallons Per day and has a planned capacity of 40 million gallons per day by 2040 (Council, 2016). The CSPP element of the 1980 CMP indicated an ultimate interceptor design capacity assigned to Orono of 3,025 units based on a flow of 368 gpd GPD per unit (115 gal/person/day x 3.2 persons/household) totaling 1.14 mgd or 416 million gallons per year(MGY). Under current projections which include land use changes proposed in the Land Use Plan of this 2018-2040 CMP, potential Orono flow rates will slightly exceed the annual flows forecasted by Met Council through 2040 but remain below the ultimate design capacity. The paragraphs and tables below depict the MCES and Orono projections. MCES Projections Table 4B-5 below lists projected total average wastewater flow for Orono.

The current and projected connections are shown in the table below broken down by Sewer Service Areas. Note that the projections used in this report Plan are greater than the MCES projections since they rely on flow estimates for each parcel of developable land, rather than population estimates. Residential Equivalents Connections (REC) The table uses Residential Equivalents Connections (REC) to convert non-residential connection into their residential equivalents.

Sanitary sewers and other urban services will not be extended into the rural area to promote new development or expansion of urbanization. The city does not foresee much increased density in the rural area requiring additional ISTS. Within the rural area, nearly all water supplies are provided by individual wells and most sewage treatment is provided by individual sewage treatment systems("ISTS"). A number of specific neighborhoods within the Rural Area have been or will be provided with municipal sewers to solve neighborhood problems or to protect the lakes, but no other urban services are planned for these areas.

Actual number from ISTS data base as of 2018 1. City Staff Estimates INFLOW AND INFIL TRA TION General Inflow is water, typically stormwater, which enters the sewer system through broken manhole covers, sewer cleanouts, sump pumps, foundation drains, and rain leaders. Infiltration is water, typically groundwater, which leaks into the sewer system through cracks in the sewer mains, laterals,joints, and manholes. Water from inflow and infiltration (I/I) can consume available capacity in the wastewater collection system and increase the flow into treatment facilities. In extreme cases,the added flow can cause bypasses or overflows of raw wastewater. This extra flow also requires a larger capacity in the city's collection and treatment components,which results in increased capital,operation and maintenance, and replacement costs. As a sewer system ages and deteriorates, I/I can become an increasing burden on a City's system. Therefore, it is imperative that I/I be reduced whenever it is cost effective to do so. The MCES has established I/I goals for each community discharging wastewater into the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS) based on average day flows and allowable peaking factors. In February 2006,the MCES began an I/I Surcharge Program which requires communities within their service area to eliminate excessive I/I over a period of time. Now, communities that exceed their wastewater flow program year goals, will be required to complete an I/I mitigation assignment that will be required to be implemented in 2018. Nonetheless, flow metering data is available for the meter sheds within Orono, and an analysis of this data as it relates to I/I is presented on the following page. The City's strategies, programs, investments, and goals for reducing I/I are listed in this section as well City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 13 CMP Part 4B. Sanitary Sewer Plan Municipal I/I Reduction Much of the City's sewer infrastructure is over 40 years old, and susceptible to I/I due to their age. In addition much of the city system runs along lake shore and is susceptible to high water periods. City code prohibits the discharge of storm water to the sanitary sewer system and requiring the disconnection of existing I/I sources (Sec. 14-189. - Prohibited discharges of groundwater/stormwater into the sanitary sewerage system). The city does experience a high amount of home rebuilds, especially along the lake shore which coincides with a large portion of the municipal sewer system. All new construction is inspected for possible cross connection as part of the sewer connection permit process. In addition, the City has routine activities directed at recognizing and correcting I/I. During the City's annual sewer system maintenance activities, 20%of the system is cleaned and televised to locate leaks or service connections with continuous flows. Appropriate corrective measures are then initiated with the affected property owner. The results of the inspections are used to develop and prioritize the City's sewer rehabilitation projects. For the past 5 years and programmed in to the future the city allocates 4250,000 per years for sewer improvement projects to address I&I issues.

Sanitary Sewer Plan O-GOALS AND POLICIES Goals 1. To provide an adequate, safe level of sewage treatment and waste water disposal for all residences and other occupied properties in the City. 2. To protect Lake Minnetonka,other lakes and streams, surface and ground waters from sewage effluent pollution. 3. To achieve the above goals within the financial capabilities of the City and its citizens without becoming an intolerable burden on the landowners or taxpayers. Policies 1. The primary method of sewage treatment and disposal within the Urban Service Area will be municipal sewer. 2. The primary method of sewage treatment and disposal within the Rural Area will be individual on-site systems, because: a. The cost of providing municipal sewer service to the Rural Area is high due to the low density of development and due to the varied topography. b. Development of the Rural Area at densities which would keep the cost of municipal sewer low,would be counterproductive to the City's primary goal of protecting Lake Minnetonka and other Orono lakes. 3. The Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary in Orono will define areas where sewer exists or where it may be extended to serve existing or new development, but will not define the areas where general urban services will be provided, and it will not define the boundary between higher density and low-density development. 4. Orono will provide municipal sewer extensions to lakeshore areas and non-lakeshore areas within the MUSA when it is determined that municipal sewer is preferable to long-term use of on-site sewage treatment systems. 5. The costs of extending municipal sewer to existing neighborhoods will be borne primarily by the property owners being served. 6. Thecosts of extending municipal sewer to serve new residential and nonresidential development will be borne entirely by the developer. 6. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4B, Page 16 CMP Part 4B. Sanitary Sewer Plan FUTURE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM Orono's Plan for future sewer facilities includes upgrades to certain existing local sewer facilities as well as retrofitting a small number of existing neighborhoods with municipal sewer service. These system improvements and expansions are not expected to require additional capacity allocation in metropolitan sewer facilities. MUSA Expansion The city proposes a minor expansion of the has no plans for expansion of the MUSA within the time period covered by this plan. -Future demands on the sanity sewer system will come as areas within the existing MUSA develop. While the City has no staged development plan,and currently has not scheduled projects outside the existing MUSA, any future MUSA expansions will be considered within the context of the following guidelines: Priority. The city will use the priorities outlined in Table 4B-112 to assess whether or not to request a MUSA expansion from the Metropolitan Council. Table 4B-11: MUSA Expansion Priorities Priority 1 Properties that abut the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka and all other Orono lakes Properties that abut City-protected tributaries, and all other properties within the Priority 2 Shoreland Overlay District Existing substandard developed lots not covered by Priorities 1 and 2 and developed prior to 1985 that have failing septic systems abd do not have an alternative site available Priority 3 to replace said system.

Conditions Expansion of the MUSA on the established prioritized basis noted above will occur only when one of the following conditions is found: 1. When an area of existing homes has failing or non-conforming septic systems and replacement drain field sites are not available for a significant share of the existing homes. 2. When an individual home has a failing or non-conforming septic system, does not have an alternate drain field site, is adjacent to existing sewer lines, and is not part of a neighborhood that could be better served by a neighborhood sewer lateral project. 3. When a new or existing residential development meeting all required development standards is adjacent to existing sewer lines and the developer or homeowners agree to bear all costs of extending municipal sewer to the development,but only when inclusion of such development in the MUSA will not result in a decrease in the City's sewered density as calculated by the Metropolitan Council. Future Sanitary Sewer Improvements The City's focus on future sanitary sewer needs will be on a limited number of extensions to service new developments within the existing urban area/MUSA and maintenance to include I&I mitigation of the existing system.

Water Supply INTRODUCTION The City of Orono is required to update its water supply plan and submit to the DNR and the Metropolitan Council as part of the Comprehensive Plan update required of all metro area cities. This Chapter is intended to address that requirement. EXISTING FACILITIES General This Section Chapter provides a summary of the existing water supply,treatment, storage, and distribution facilities for the City of Orono. The City has four existing water systems: the Navarre Water System,the Highway 12 Water System,the Wayzata System Extension, and the Long Lake System Extension. The Navarre Water System is located in the southern portion of Orono. It consists of two municipal wells, a treatment facility, one elevated storage tank,and a water distribution system. The Highway 12 Water System is located in the northern portion of the City. It consists of two municipal wells, a small treatment facility including a chemical feed system, one elevated storage tank, and a water distribution system. The Wayzata System eExtends into the sion is located in the northeast portion of Orono. It consists of a distribution system that has its water supplied from the City of Wayzata. The Long Lake System Extension is a distribution system that has its water supplied from the City of Long Lake. More than 50 percent of the households in Orono receive their potable water from private individual wells. The distribution systems are comprised of watermains ranging in size from 6 to 16 inches in diameter. The existing water service area is shown in Table IC 1Map 4C-1. Water Supply The City's water is currently provided by four existing water systems. The Navarre Water System is supplied by two wells, Well 1 and 2. The Highway 12 Water System is supplied by two wells, Wells 3 and 4. A summary of the specific well construction information is provided in Table 4C-1. le 4C-1 We ` Navarre Navarre Highway Highway 12 Well 1 Well 2 12 3 ell Well 4 Unique Well No. 2051627 211,965 509,097 821,.940 Year Constructed 1971 1971 1991 2017 Well Pump Capacity(gpm) 1,000 500 500 1,000 Casing Diameter(inches) 12 8 16 18 Casing Depth (feet) NA NA NA 365 Overall Well Depth(feet) 385 390 381 500 Total Well Capacity 1.8 MGD 1.6 MGD Firm Capacity 0.6 MGD 0.6 MGD City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 2 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply The total well capacity is determined as the total capacity of all wells operating for 20 hours per day. It is considered good practice to allow the well pumps a few hours of down time to "rest", which ultimately extends the life of the pumps and allows for aquifer recharge. The firm capacity is the total capacity with the single largest pump out of service and is determined for a pumping period of 20 hours per day. Regulatory agencies recommend the firm capacity be equal to or greater than the average day demand it serves. Water Treatment Treatment of source water for the Navarre Water System consists of sand filtration for iron and manganese removal, ion exchange softening to reduce hardness,and chemical addition prior to entry into the distribution system. Fluoride is added for dental cavity protection, chlorine is added for disinfection, and polyphosphate is added as a corrosion inhibitor. Treatment of source water for the Highway 12 system consists of chemical addition of chlorine and fluorides, and polyphosphate is added as a corrosion inhibitor. Water Storage The existing storage facilities in the City of Orono consist of one 200,000-gallon elevated water tower in the Navarre Water System and one 400,000-gallon elevated water tower in the Highway 12 Water System. Details of the water storage tower are presented in Table 4C-2. Table 4C-2: Existing Storage sAila Navarre Highway 12 Water Water Tower Tower Capacity (gallons) 200,000 400,000 Year Constructed 1971 1993 High Water Level 1,102 1,165 Support Type Multi- Hydropillar legged Water Distribution System The Orono water system is comprised of water mains ranging in size from 6 inches to 16 inches in diameter. As previously discussed, both the Navarre and Highway 12 service areas include groundwater wells and elevated storage. The Wayzata System Extension and Long Lake System Extension are supplied with water directly from the other two Cities' water systems and only provide a means of distribution to the customers. The existing capacities of the systems appear to be adequate in regards to pressure and available fire flow. Future improvements to provide service to planned expansion areas as well as increased supply capacities are discussed later in this report. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 3 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply Mains that are 10 inches and larger are considered trunk mains for this size of distribution system. When possible,all mains should be built in loops.A dead end main without enough connected demand will require frequent flushing to reduce water stagnation problems.This problem is especially true for trunk mains because of the larger volume of water stored. The existing system has several dead end pipe segments in cul-de-sacs and other areas that limit looping. Looping of water mains also helps provide for uninterrupted service to most of the system customers when one pipe segment is shut down for repairs. With a looped system only an isolated section of the system will be out of service instead of an entire neighborhood or commercial area. Looping also provides for substantial flow increases during a fire demand as the demand at the location of the fire can be met from more than one direction in the system. - ' . - . - •- ' . . - LAND USE AND POPULATION Land Use The water system planning area is based on providing service within the current City limits. Population Projection The Metropolitan Council's "Thrive" forecasts are presented in Table 4C-3. The Metropolitan Council projects the City of Orono's population to approach 9,5-90-000 in 2030.

Water Supply As previously noted,approximately one-half of the existing population is served by private wells. A portion of the projected population growth will be served by the Orono water system. This increase in population served is likely the growth that will occur within and adjacent to the Highway 12 water system. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 5 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply WATER USAGE Existing Water Usage Historical water data is an important tool for determining trends and helping to assist the City in determining if there are problems within the system. Yearly and monthly pumping summaries from 2005 to 2015 are presented below in Table 4C-44-for the Water System. The yearly pumping totals reveal a slight decrease in recent water usage.

Since then2013, the unaccounted for water has been very good at below 1-0-6 percent. Determining unaccounted for water is an important tool. The City monitors this parameter on a quarterly basis as well as conducting water audits and annual leak detection. Reducing the amount City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 6 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply of unaccounted for water will conserve the amount of water pumped as well as preserve the life expectancy of the well pumps, and reduce waste. Water Demand Projections Water demand projections have been estimated with respect to the construction of new homes. For simplicity reasons, new industrial/commercial demands have been calculated by the available acreage for development. The population projections shown below indicate what the various water demands would be should the population increase to that value. The populations shown is only for planning purposes and it should not be presumed that this growth will occur. The proposed expansion areas of the distribution system are I shown in Figure 1.1 Map 4C-2. From historical data previously presented,the average per capita daily water usage for the I Navarre Water System has been selected as 100 gallons per capita per day (gpcpd)with a peaking factor of 2.0. The total average demand per capita for the Highway 12 Water I System has been selected as 150 gpcpd with a peaking factor of 2.0. Since tThe population in the Highway 12 system is so small the commercial water use skews population based I projections,.therefore a 0.10 mgpd constant has been added. The selected water use values were then used with population projections to project future water demands which are presented in Tables 4C-5 and Table 1C-6.

Water Supply WATER SYSTEM EVALUATION General This section provides an evaluation summary of the existing water supply, treatment, storage, and distribution systems for the City of Orono. The existing system consists of four water supply systems. These four systems consist of four supply wells, two elevated storage tanks, two water treatment facilities, and four distribution systems. The existing water infrastructure components have been evaluated in terms of current and future demands. Water Supply Wells GeneFal The City of Orono currently obtains water from four wells, Navarre Well 1 and 2 Well Capacity The Recommended Standards for Water Works(Ten State Standards)recommends that the average day demand be met by the firm capacity. Firm capacity is the pumping capacity with the largest well out of service. In addition, the daily well output is calculated based on operating for 20 hours per day to allow 4 hours per day of aquifer recharge. Using these standards, the Navarre Water System has a total capacity of 1.80 MGD and a firm capacity of 0.60 MGD. The Highway 12 Water System has a total capacity of 1.60 MGD and a firm capacity of 0.6 MGD. Table 4C-1 earlier in this chapter summarizes well capacity.

Wellhead protection is a method of preventing contamination of public water supplies by managing potential contaminant sources in the area that contribute to a public water supply well. Land uses relative to commercial, industrial, and underground storage of chemicals and petroleum are considered higher risks to ground water protection than permanent open spaces, parks, farmland and low-density residential lots. All public water suppliers are required to implement wellhead protection measures. The Minnesota Department of Health City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 10 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply (MDH) was granted authority to implement wellhead protection and rules governing wellhead protection were adopted in March 2007. Grouping of wells eases wellhead protection and potential treatment beyond the existing facilities. Water Treatment The Navarre Water System currently uses sand filtration for iron and manganese removal, ion exchange softening to reduce hardness, and adds fluoride,chlorine, and polyphosphate to the water before entry into the distribution system. At this time, the City does not need to pursue additional water treatment capacity at the Navarre WTP. However, the City should make chemical feed and other improvements at the Navarre WTP as outlined in Section 6 in the Water Supply Plan, 2018. The Highway 12 Water System adds chlorine and fluoride, as well as polyphosphate to inhibit corrosion to water before entry into the distribution system. Water Storage -- • . . •- • li ii, - tower in the Navarre system and a 100,000 gallon elevated water tower in the Highway 12 system. Details of the storage tanks are presented in Table 4C-2. The principal purpose of storage is to provide the ability to equalize pumping rates during periods of variable rate demand. Adequate storage permits a reduction in the size of the pumps required to supply a community because peak demands are diminished by the reserve provided in storage. Storage is typically provided in elevated tanks for communities the size of Orono to provide storage and a pressure source even when the wells are not pumping. The primary reasons for providing storage are as follows: • To equalize pressure in the distribution system. • For emergency requirements (pump failure,power failure). • Fire protection. Storage adequacy can be assessed using the Average Day Criteria or the Maximum Day, Fire Protection and Emergency Storage Criteria. Average Day Criteria Generally, the minimum recommended standard, without fire protection, is equal to the average day demand (Ten State Standards, 1997). By this standard, the Navarre Water System currently has a slight storage deficit since the average day demand is 220,000 gpd and the current storage capacity is 20,000 gallons. As shown in Table 4C-9, the Navarre Water System will have a storage deficit of 100,000 gallons when the population using the system reaches 3,000. 3000 population equates to about 335 new households. 100% build out of the planned development areas in the Navarre area identifies 250 new households. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 11 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply As shown in Table 4C-10, the Highway 12 Water System will have adequate storage until the population exceeds 2000 and the average day demand rises above 400,000 gpd.

The water production and storage must be considered together, since an increase in production may decrease the amount of water storage required. Water storage requirements using this approach for the Navarre Water System and the Highway 12 Water System are summarized in Table 4C-111 and Table 4C-128. The current storage is not able to meet the maximum day, fire protection and emergency storage criteria for either water system.

Water Distribution System General The analysis of a water distribution system often requires the use of a computer model of the system. A computer model is prepared which is calibrated with field data resulting in a model that simulates the known conditions of the system as closely as possible. This model provides a basis for simulation of existing system operations and deficiencies as well as future operating conditions of the system. From these simulations, determinations can be made as to the improvements that the system will need. The water distribution system for the City of Orono was modeled using Bentley's WaterCad version 8.0. Modeling information can be found in the Water Supply Plan, 2018. Key findings are summarized here. The computer network is used to on the system. Primary goals of the analysis included the following: City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 14 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply 11 Analysis of pressures throughout the water system. • Analysis of available fire flows throughout the system. 12 system. Analysis of Existing Water System Existing Water Pressure. Average Day(AD)pressures in the existing system range from 50 to 78 psi. These pressures are within acceptable standards. According to Ten States Standards for Water Works (2012), an industry standard that the Minnesota Department of Health has adopted, pressures in the system should meet the following: "The minimum working pressure in the distribution system should be 35 psi (240 kPa) and the normal working pressure should be approximately 60 to 80 psi (410 - 550 kPa). When static pressures exceed 100 psi (690 kPa), pressure reducing devices shall be provided on mains or as part of the meter setting on individual service lines in the distribution system." Peak Hour (PH) pressures, which represent some of the highest non-emergency demands that a system will require, range from 44 to 73 psi, which is again within acceptable standards. Therefore, no deficiencies were identified during computer system analysis. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 15 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply Existing Available Fire Flow The modeled fire flows were run up to a maximum of 5,000 gpm. The minimum fire flow available at any given point in a system should not be less than 500 gpm at a residual pressure of 20 psi. This represents the amount of water required to provide for two standard hose streams on a fire in a typical residential area for residential dwellings with spacing of 100 feet. The distance between buildings and the corresponding fire flow is summarized in Table 4C-13 Distance Between Buildings Required Fire Flow (feet) (gpm) More Than 100 500 31-100 750 30-11 1,000 Less Than 11 1,500 The computed fire flows for the current distribution system are represented in s .. Generally, available fire flows are adequate throughout the water distribution system. Areas with less than 500 gpm mostly include residential properties with limited water main looping due to locations along cul-de-sacs or dead end roads. The majority of these locations are in the Navarre system and the Wayzata System Extension. Pipe Velocities and Friction Losses Pipe segments are considered potentially deficient, or most-limiting, if they have the following conditions: • Velocities greater than 5 ft/s; and • Head losses greater than 10 ft/1000 ft. Velocities in pipe segments are acceptable up to about 10 ft/s during emergency or extreme demand conditions of short duration. As velocities increase, pipe friction increases and problems with water hammer occur. This is especially true in systems with higher pressures. The system has been checked for locations where velocities and head losses meet the above stated conditions.There are several locations where pipe velocities exceed 5 ft/s during emergency or peak demand flows. During normal operating conditions, no segments with high velocities or high head loss were observed. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 16 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply Long Lake Interconnections During emergency events, the Orono Highway 12 system and the Long Lake system are able to provide water service to each other through a series of interconnections. In the past,this arrangement is able to work for extended periods of time due to the large extra capacity of Long Lake wells, along with the large elevated storage in the City of Orono. In the event of emergency water supply needs, where one of the system wells are to be off-line for an extended period, the combined firm supply capacity is able to meet the maximum day demands of the combined systems by nearly 500,000 gallons. In addition, the combined water system can meet domestic demands for its customer base during the event that either tower is taken off line for repairs or rehabilitation. During these outages, available fire flows will be reduced significantly compared to when each tower is in operation. In the event of the Orono tank being taken off line, available fire flows will be reduced to approximately 700-750 gpm throughout the northwest area of the Highway 12 system. While adequate for residential fire flows, the fire department should be aware that tankers may be needed on-call if a larger fire occurs at a large industrial or institutional customer. There are currently four interconnections between the Long Lake and Orono (Highway 12)water systems. Two of the interconnections have automatic pressure reducing valves (PRVs) which allow emergency flow in either direction if an emergency occurs and system pressure drops below a minimum pressure setting. The interconnections are located near the following intersections: • Virginia Avenue and Wayzata Boulevard (Automatic PRV) • Shaughnessy Avenue and Wayzata Boulevard • Brimhall Avenue and Wayzata Boulevard(Automatic PRV) • Willow Drive North and Wayzata Boulevard The PRVs rarely operate, especially since the set points for operation are at low levels which are not impacted by normal operating conditions. The primary operation of these interconnections would be during an emergency such as a large fire when additional water would be required for the duration of the fire. In the event that one system loses supply capacity or a tower is taken out of service,these interconnections can also be utilized. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 17 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply PROPOSED WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS General The major water system components have been evaluated in the previous sections. A detailed description of the proposed improvements is presented in this section. Water Supply The Navarre Water System currently has two wells with a firm capacity of 0.6 MGD. During the last four years, the maximum daily demand has averaged less than 0.5 MGD, which means the current water system has excess capacity. The service area of the Navarre Water System is close to full development so the population growth within the service area is expected to be minimal. Based off the current capacity of the wells and the expected population growth, no additional wells are needed for the Navarre Water System. The Highway 12 Water System was recently upgraded from one well which ran nearly 24 hours per day during the summer,to two wells. The firm capacity is 0.6 MGD. Based off the current capacity of the wells and the expected population growth, no additional wells are needed for the Navarre Water System. Treatment Facilities The objective of a water system is to provide quality water that is fit for domestic and commercial use. The City currently does not have any major water quality issues that need to be addressed, or major outstanding issues with both the Navarre WTP and the Highway 12 Well House Water Storage As discussed previously,the Navarre Water System has a current storage deficit of 20,000 gallons using the average day criteria and a storage deficit of 267,000 gallons using the maximum day, fire protection, and emergency storage criteria. The existing storage capacity is very close to meeting the current average demand and very little growth is expected in the Navarre Distribution System. Therefore, it is concluded that storage capacity is not needed at this time. If the City sees an increase in water demand for the Navarre System it we-may want to consider additional storage that would also meet the maximum day, fire protection, and emergency storage criteria. The Highway 12 Water System currently meets the average day criteria and has a storage deficit of 67,500 gallons using the maximum day, fire protection, and emergency storage criteria. Given that the existing storage meets the average day criteria and nearly meets the maximum day, fire protection, and emergency storage criteria, additional storage is not needed at this time. As water demands increase the City will need to consider added storage for the Highway 12 Water System. Distribution System City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 18 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply Proposed water distribution system expansion is illustrated on Map 4C-3 ��e� e - _ . Improvements include water main extensions to serve expansion areas along the west edge of the Highway 12 system. In addition, a portion of the existing Highway 12 system is recommended to be increased in size from an 8 inch main to a 12 inch. This improved trunk main will increase available fire flow capacity during emergencies. In addition, water availability through the east interconnection will be improved. Depending on the future location of a new supply well to serve the Highway 12 system, the increased trunk capacity may also be required to allow adequate transmission of the increased supply capacity to the water tower. Long Lake Interconnections Based on computer modeling, not all of the existing interconnections are needed in the future. We recommend that the two primary automatic PRV interconnections (Virginia Avenue cZi Wayzata Boulevard and Brimhall Avenue @Wayzata Boulevard) are maintained. - - . . . . . . . • . . . :.. . Brimhall Avenue and Wayzata Boulevard. Two interconnections will provide adequate fire protection during an emergency. In addition, having these on the east and west sides of the distribution system provides for more redundancy of service as well. Upgrades to a 12 inch main along Wayzata Boulevard between Brimhall Avenue and Willow Drive North will also provide a better hydraulic connection for transmission of water during emergency events. WATER SYSTEM EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN Purpose The Orono Water System Emergency Preparedness Plan is a detailed description of procedures to follow should disruption to normal water service occur. Water system emergencies can occur as a result of accidental contamination, mechanical problems, power failures, drought, and other natural disasters. Disruptions to normal service may affect the entire water system or only parts of the system. While this plan cannot address all potential disasters, it is intended to provide City staff with a procedural guideline for implementation of actions resulting in the restoration of normal water service with a minimum of disruption, and minimizing any potential health risks. This plan is part of the City of Orono Emergency Preparedness Plan. Emergency Telephone Lists The City maintains a list of telephone numbers for key utility and City personnel, contacts in adjacent communities which may be affected, and other key local, state and federal contacts. Current Water Sources and Service Area 'As-Built'plans and specifications for both the Navarre and Highway 12 water systems are located on the City's GIS and Asset Management Systems with hard copies located in the Public Works Map room at 2700 Kelley Parkway. These plans include service area maps as well as groundwater source information, individual well logs and pump specifications. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 19 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply Procedures For Augmenting Water Supplies A number of alternatives exist for augmenting existing water supplies: City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 20 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply Interconnections with Adjacent Communities Navarre System. Orono's Navarre water system is interconnected with the water systems operated by the City of Minnetonka Beach and the City of Spring Park.. The City of Orono has Reciprocal Emergency Water Supply agreements with both Minnetonka Beach and Spring Park(see AppendixWater Supply Plan, 2018). The high water level elevation in the Navarre water tower is estimated to be 1102.0 feet. The high water level elevation for Minnetonka Beach's water tower is estimated to be 1091.0 feet. The high water level elevation of Spring Park's water tower is estimated to be 1102.0 feet. Minnetonka Beach has two connection points with Orono - a 10" connection at Old County Road and an 8" connection at Northview Road. Spring Park was two 6" interconnections with Orono, one on Northern Avenue and the other at the intersection of Shadywood and Sunset. In the event that both wells are out of service the Navarre system could potentially be supplied by either the Spring Park or Minnetonka Beach systems,although it would likely place less of a burden on the Spring Park system.

The City of Orono has a Reciprocal Emergency Water Supply agreement with the City of Long Lake. The high water elevation of the Highway 12 water tower is 1165'. Use Of Surface And Ground Waters As An Alternative Source. None-The nearest surface water source to the Navarre area is Lake Minnetonka.The nearest surface water source to Highway 12 is Long Lake. However, both lakes have a high susceptibility to contamination.Due to the high cost of treatment, neither Lake Minnetonka nor Long Lake are feasible as sources of water. Demand Reduction Procedures Demand Reduction Potential In a water supply emergency, demand could be reduced by implementation of various measures such as voluntary restrictions or a lawn sprinkling ban. Additionally, non- essential high-volume uses such as commercial car washing could be banned. Both measures could potentially result in short term demand reductions. Short-Term Demand Reduction Procedures Orono Municipal Code Section 14-136 establishes regulations for the use of water during periods of water shortage. Subsection 136(e)(1) enumerates a number of restrictions which the City Council may order singly or in combination to effectuate demand reduction. These restrictions are listed in order of progressively increasing stringency: ■ Voluntary restriction, to be implemented via public notice in the local City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 22 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply newspapers, "bill stuffers" and public service announcements. • Odd/even watering ban in which residents of addresses ending in an even digit may water on even-numbered calendar days and residents of addresses ending in an odd digit may water on odd-numbered calendar days. • Complete or partial ban on water use for watering lawns, trees and shrubs, irrigation, car washing, filling swimming pools, air conditioning, and/or other uses determined by the City to be non-essential, or any combinationthereof. Water Emergency Condition Orono Municipal Code Section 14-137 establishes procedures which may be implemented by the City Administrator in the event of a water emergency. The Administrator may order an immediate general sprinkling ban or an odd-even sprinkling ban,and may curtail industrial water use.The Administrator may approve exemptions to such actions, and establish necessary conditions for such exemptions, upon written request from 1) commercial enterprises whose economic well-being is dependent upon sprinkling, irrigating or watering of a lawn, grass or turf owned, leased or operated by such enterprise; 2) employees and agents of the City wherein lawn, grass or turf used for play fields or areas owned or operated by the City require more frequent watering to prevent unreasonable damage thereto; and 3) owners and lessees of lands newly sodded or grass seeded which requires sprinkling or irrigation to prevent loss of new sod, seed or immature turf or grasses. The following actions will be taken to control demand during a Water Emergency Condition: Administrative Actions • An educational program that describes the severity and effects ofthe emergency will be instituted. • Prohibit outdoor sprinkling on a continual basis. • Increase penalties and fees for violation of the sprinkling ordinance. • Limit or prohibit swimming pool filling, car washing, and other similar nonessential residential uses. • Limit or prohibit use of water for commercial car washes. • Restrict restaurants from serving water to customers on a voluntary basis. • Require operators of large air conditioning systems (if they exist) to recycle cooled water as appropriate. Utility Operation Program. The performance of routine public operations shall be redirected to reduce water demand. The following actions which can be easily implemented on a short-term basis may affect the aesthetics of the City but will not harm City facilities on a long-term basis: • Reduce sewer cleaning activities. • Reduce fire hydrant and main flushing activities to an absolute minimum. • Eliminate street cleaning activities. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 23 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply • Eliminate fire-fighting training practices that utilize water. • Purchase water from the City of Long Lake if the emergency condition is limited to the Orono water supply system. PROCEDURES FOR WATER ALLOCATION Allocation of water by the City of Orono may be required during a severe water shortage. When supply augmentation or demand reduction measures are determined to be inadequate, water allocation may be implemented in conformance with the following priorities established by Minnesota Statutes 103G.261: 1. First Priority: Domestic water supply, excluding commercial and industrial uses of municipal water supply, and use for power production that meets the statutory contingency planning requirements. 4, 2. Second Priority:Water uses involving consumption of less than 10,000 gallons of water per day. 3. Third Priority: Agricultural irrigation, and processing of agricultural products involving consumption in excess of 10,000 gallons per day. 4. Fourth Priority:Power production in excess of the use provided for in the contingency plan noted above under "First Priority". 4 5. Fifth Priority: Uses other than agricultural irrigation, processing of agricultural products and power production, involving consumption in excess of 10,000 gallons per day. 6. Sixth Priority: Non-essential uses.Non-essential uses are defined in Minnesota Statutes 103G.291 as including but not limited to lawn sprinkling, vehicle washing, and golf course and park irrigation.Non-essential water uses will be the first water uses subject to allocation restrictions. Quick responses to restrict non-essential uses during periods of limited supplies will help protect domestic and economic uses of water. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 24 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply Triggers For Implementing Plan Components Navarre A water emergency condition for the Navarre system is defined if one or more of the following conditions occur: • The water tower levels are insufficient to provide adequate fire protection, or 4—The production facilities are unable to reestablish a minimum water reserve in storage,or • of • The water demand in one 24-hour period exceeds the firm pumping capacity of the system, 720,000 gallons. Highway 12 A water Emergency Conditions for the Highway 12 system is defined if one or more of the following conditions occur: • The water tower levels are insufficient to provide adequate fire protection, or 4—The production facilities are unable to reestablish a minimum water reserve in storage, or or • The water demand in one 24-hour period exceeds 575,000 GPD, i.e. approximately 80%of the 720,000 GPD system capacity. Wayzata System Extension The Wayzata system extension is a small part of the total Wayzata system.Triggers and plan implementations established by City of Wayzata will be adhered to. The City of Orono may include the Wayzata System Extension water customers in any general water restriction placed on Orono residents. Long Lake System Extensions The Long Lake system extensions are a small part of the total Long Lake system. Triggers and plan implementations established by City of Long Lake will be adhered to. The City of Orono may include the Long Lake System Extension water customers in any general water restriction placed on Orono residents. Notice City ordinances define two levels of urgency in establishing water use restrictions. During periods of water shortage which are not considered to be water emergencies, the City Council may implement restrictions by resolution or Ordinance. Such resolution shall define: the uses of water that will be restricted; the types of water supply that will be restricted, such as the public water system,private wells, lake or other surface water systems; times during which the restriction will apply;whether the use restriction will apply to all property in the City or will vary depending on City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 25 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply location or identification of property; when the restrictions will be implemented and when they will terminate; and whether the restrictions will be voluntary or involuntary. Notice of the restrictions will be posted on the website, sent via social media and direct mailings and published in the local newspaper, and will become effective 24 hours after passage and publication. If the City Administrator determines that the water pressure and available water in the municipal water system reaches a level which endangers the public health or safety,he may declare a water emergency. Upon such declaration, notice will be given to the news media, social media and city website,and all orders restricting water use shall be enforceable one (1)hour from the time of such notice. Enforcement By ordinance,violation of a mandatory water use restriction is a misdemeanor. The City of Orono has not established penalty charges for non compliance. Failure to comply after repeated notices willmay lead to fines or discontinued water service (Section 14-75).Water use restrictions will be monitored by Citystaff and enforced as necessary CONSERVATION PLAN Role Of Conservation. The City of Orono Water Conservation Plan is intended to reduce the demand for water, improve the efficiency of use of water, and reduce losses and waste of water. Water conservation has the potential to delay or eliminate the need for development of supplemental water sources to meet peak demands for nonessential water uses. Reduction in the peak demand through conservation efforts is preferable to major City expenditures for increasing water source, treatment and storage capacities. Water Conservation Potential. For theThe Navarre System serves residential and commercial uses,a primarily residential service area, conservation efforts will be focused on ensuring the wise use of water as well as updating the treatment facility and making system repairs as necessary. As the residential housing stock is renovated by homeowners, City enforcement of the State plumbing codes will ensure use of water efficient fixtures. The Highway 12 system serves a variety of users including both single-family and multi-family residential uses that are still developing,commercial and industrial uses, and the Orono Schools complex. New homes will be required by State plumbing codes to install water-efficient fixtures. New or expanding commercial, industrial,and institutional users will be encouraged(and required when appropriate)to establish water-conserving policies and use water-efficient equipment. Water Conservation Programs The city will endeavor to implement the MnDNR Conservation Objectives and Strategies. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C,Page 26 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply MnDNR objectives 1. MnDNR Objective 1: Reduce Unaccounted (Non-Revenue) Water loss to Less than 10%. The city is currently meeting this objective. Thorough water audits, leak detection and preventive maintenance. 2. MnDNR Objective 2: Achieve Less than 75 Residential Gallons per Capita Demand (GPCD). The city is meeting this objective with a 5 year average per capita demand of 73 Gal/day. The average residential per capita water demand has been on a downward trend since a high of 93.4 gpcd in 2006 to a low of 60.2 gpcd in 2015. 3. MnDNR Objective 3: Achieve at least 1.5% annual reduction in non-residential per capita water use. Education- The City will continue to provide residents information pamphlets via newsletter and social media as such pamphlets become available from the DNR and MDH. There is very little C/I/I or Ag water usage within the City of Orono. 4. MnDNR Objective 4: Achieve a Decreasing Trend in Total Per Capita Demand. The Residential per capita water demand has been trending downward since 2005, with a years of spikes within the data. These spikes can likely be attributed to years with less rainfall, which leads to greater irrigation use within the residential sector. It is likely that the trend will continue downward as time progresses due to increased education about water use and a recently revised water rate structure. The C/I/I per capita water demand appears to be trending downward overall with various spikes and fluctuations throughout the years. These sometimes large fluctuations can be attributed to the smaller and ever changing client base that is present in the City within the C/I/I category. 5. MnDNR Objective 5: Reduce Ratio of Maximum day(peak day) to the Average Day Demand to Less Than 2.6. Calculate a ten-year average (2005 —2014) of the ratio of maximum day demand to average day demand is 4.8. This high ratio is likely due to excessive irrigation in the summer months. The city will continue to encourage responsible water use though educational efforts and discourage individual high water use through our tiers water rate structure. 6. MnDNR Objective 6: Implement Demand Reduction Measures. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 27 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply City Conservation Strategies 1. Metering. All water customers on Orono's three water systems are metered. All new users added to the system will be metered. All customers purchase meters through the City, and meters are tested, recalibrated, and repaired on an as-required basis. Meters are read by City personnel quarterly. 2. Water Audits, Leak Detection and Repair. The volume of unaccounted-for water is determined on an annual basis. Unaccounted- for water is defined as the volume of water withdrawn from the source minus the volume of water sold. Water not accounted for may be a result of meter under-registration;various forms of public unmetered use such as hydrant flushing, appropriation by fire departments, and illegal connections or appropriations; or system leakage. The city conducts annual leak detection as a means of identifying and repair leaks. 3. Conservation-Oriented Water Rates. Water customers are billed quarterly. Water rates are reviewed by the City annually and adjusted as necessary with the goal of paying for the true cost of supplying, treating and delivering water as well as maintaining the distribution system. Past reviews have resulted in the adoption of a hydrant charge to those properties where water is available but unconnected. Capital expenditures are financed through the use of connection charges, area charges, and special assessments. Since 2010 the city has used a conservation-oriented water rate structure. The conservation-oriented structure establishes Water Usage Tiers that vary between residential, multi-family and commercial users and are based on usage. 4. Regulation. Orono has adopted a number of regulations to provide short-term demand reductions and long-term improvements in water use efficiencies: • Short-Term Demand Reduction Procedures: Municipal Code Sections 14-136 and 14-137 define measures for short-term demand reduction. The Code identifies a number of restrictions which the City Council may order singly or in combination to effectuate demand reduction, and provides procedures for enforcement of such measures. • Long-Term Demand Reduction: Long-term demand reduction will be accomplished by enforcement of the State and Federal Plumbing Codes which require the use of water efficient fixtures in new home construction as well as when retrofitting. 5. Education and Information Programs.The City of Orono will make an effort to promote efficient water use on an ongoing basis. Education of the public on the benefits of water conservation will include articles City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 28 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply in the City newsletter as well as the use of"bill stuffers", and support for school curriculums on water resources such as National Drinking Water Week. During periods of limited water supplies when public awareness is high, the City will issue public service announcements through the local mass media including local newspapers, and will notify the public via direct mailings of water conservation and demand reduction measures in effect. 6. Retrofitting Programs. Existing plumbing codes requiring the use of water-conserving fixtures when retrofitting buildings, will continue to be enforced by the Building Inspections Department. The City will investigate whether establishment of a mandatory retrofitting program unrelated to concurrent remodeling projects would be feasible or cost efficient. GOALS AND POLICIES The City of Orono's water supply goals are as follows: 1. Provide an adequate supply ofpotable water to all residences and occupied properties in Orono. 2. Provide an adequate supply of water for fire protection in urban-density neighborhoods and commercial/industrial districts in Orono. 3. Protect the City'sies natural resources- Water. The City of Orono's water supply policies are as follows: 1. All occupied properties within Orono shall be provided with a potable water supply and minimum sanitary facilities as required by the Minnesota Health Department. 2. Individual wells will be considered to be acceptable water supply for low- density urban and rural residential neighborhoods. Industrial, commercial and multi-family residential development will be permitted only within the municipal water service area where supplies are sufficient for domestic,process and fire protection purposes. 3. Municipal water supply systems will be provided only within the Urban Service Area. Rural land use must be of the type and density to be_adequately served by individual private wells. 4. Municipal water supply systems will be provided only where sufficient land use density and/or user demand will make the public investment economically feasible.Municipal water systems will not be extended to all neighborhoods in the urban service area. Many urban residential areas that received municipal sewer for public health and environmental reasons have relatively low land use density and can be adequately served by private wells at much less total cost than by extensive water system City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 29 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply extension. 5. New urban developments will be served by developer-installed mains. Municipal water mains may be extended within the boundaries of the urban area to serve new development on vacant properties provided the development occurs at the established zoned density,the development does not overburden or exceed the design capacity of the existing system,and the developer pays and finances the entire cost of the project. 6. The city will operate and maintain the municipal water system. To assure cost effectiveness and quality control, the City will own, operate and maintain the entire municipal water system of mains and laterals up to and including the curb stop on each property. Each property owner must purchase a meter from the City and install it in an approved manner and location. 7. All water serviced properties must be connected. No new well or well repair permits will be issued where municipal water service is available.Existing operable wells may be used provided the water is potable and the well conforms to MHD requirements. Individual connections will be required for each separate residence and/or place of business. 8. Water service construction will conform to state codes. Installation of new building service lines, connection stubs, or water mains shall be by licensed plumbing contractors, and installation or repair of wells shall be by licensed well drillers; all construction shall utilize materials and methods approved by the Minnesota State Board of Health. 9. The City will endeavor to meet the MnDNRs Conservation Objectives. FUTURE WATER SYSTEM Orono's plan for future water facilities includes upgrades to existing local water facilities. Future Water System Improvements The City's focus on future water system needs will be on a limited number of extensions to service new developments within the existing urban area and maintenance of the existing system.

The operation, maintenance and depreciation financing of the municipal water supply system will be completely financed by user charges sufficient to cover all allocable costs without requiring any general tax subsidy. Water charges shall be equitably established on the basis of actual use and/or fire protection advantage while at the same time designed to encourage resource conservation. Operating and Maintenance Budget City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 32 CMP Part 4C. Water Supply The City shall remain committed to fully funding the operations and maintenance needs of the City's water system. Funding will continue to come from the Water fees. Capital Improvement Plan The City manages capital expenditures for the Water system as part of the Capital Improvement Plan(CIP). The CIP provides long-term planning and management of infrastructure throughout the City. The CIP is a planning document that presents a 5+ year overview of scheduled capital projects to address the City's goals for public infrastructure. The CIP includes a long-term financing plan that allows the City to allocate funds for these projects based on assigned priorities. The 5+ year horizon of the CIP provides the City with an opportunity to evaluate project priorities annually and to adjust the timing, scope and cost of projects as new information becomes available. The information contained in this plan represents an estimate of improvement costs based on present knowledge and expected conditions. Changes in community priorities, infrastructure condition and inflation rates require that adjustments be made on a routine basis. Funding for Acquisition and Capital Improvements Funding for Water system Capital improvement projects comes from the Enterprise Water Fund, special assessments, and connection charges.

Public Services Plan CMP PART 4D PUBLIC SERVICES PLAN INTRODUCTION This chapter of the Community Management Plan includes a brief review of all the many other necessary services and facilities of a municipality that were not mandated elements of Twin Cities Regional planning. The elements contained in this Chapter have varying degrees of impact upon metropolitan systems, but they all have important ties to Orono's local planning development and land use concerns. The Goals, Policies and Plans outlined in this Chapter are an integral part of the total Community Management Plan and have been derived from joint and concurrent consideration of all community planning elements. This Chapter of the CMP is prepared and presented for the following purposes: 1. The Public Services Plan is intended to place the identified services and facilities within the context of the overall Community Management Plan. 2. The Public Services Plan is intended to be a management tool for City officials and City staff in the development and management of municipal services and facilities necessary to support the basic planning objectives of the City. 3. The Public Services Plan is intended to advise our neighboring municipalities and other governmental agencies of our intended service levels, and our intention to continue cooperative service arrangements. SCOPE The Public Services Plan is an integral part of Orono's Community Management Plan. The policy decisions relating to Orono's public service requirements complement and balance regional plans with local concerns for historic development patterns, environmental protection, fiscal responsibility and general land use. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 2 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES POLICE SERVICES Orono has had an independent police force since 1962. The Police Department operates out of headquarters facilities located in the City administrative complex on Old Crystal Bay Road 1Kelley Parkway. Orono Police currently provide contract services to the citizens of Long Lake, Spring Park, Minnetonka Beach, and Mound. Police Service Goals 1. To create and maintain a feeling of security in the community. 2. To reduce the opportunity for the commission of crimes. 3. To aid individuals having medical emergencies or who are in danger of physical harm, and to assist those who cannot care for themselves. 4. To identify criminal offenders and criminal activity and, where appropriate, to apprehend offenders and participate in subsequent court proceedings. 5. To resolve conflict. 6. To protect constitutional guarantees and to promote and preserve civil order. 7. To identify potentially serious law enforcement problems. 8. To facilitate the efficient and hazard-free movement of people and vehicles. 9. To achieve the above goals within the financial capabilities of the City and its citizens. Police Service Policies In order to achieve the stated Police Service Goals, the Orono Police Department will be operated and administered according to the following policies: 1. A basic level of routine police services will be provided to all citizens within the department's jurisdiction. The level of routine services provided in the Rural Area is not to be as extensive or as frequent as that level necessary in the more densely developed urban neighborhoods. 2. Twenty-four(24) hour emergency response will be provided to all citizens within the department's jurisdiction. 3. Orono will participate in active mutual aid arrangements with police departments in adjoining jurisdictions. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 3 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan 4. Orono will rely on technical support from other agencies including the 1lcnnepin County Sheriffs Office. 5. Orono will embrace the "Community Oriented Policing" concept. 6. The Orono Police Reserve program will continue. 7. Orono expects to continue contract services with adjoining municipalities. Police Service Plans Orono intends to continue operation of the Orono Police Department and provide contract services to adjacent municipalities consistent with their desires. The size and abilities of the Department will be consistent with and dependent upon the land use type and density within the Department's jurisdiction. Police department funding, including contract service costs, will be based upon the level of service desired. FIRE SERVICES Fire protection services in Orono are contracted with the Long Lake Fire Department. Fire Service Goals 1. To encourage fire prevention practices. 2. To provide fire protection and fire suppression services. 3. To provide reasonable levels of total fire services within the financial capabilities of the City and its citizens. Fire Service Policies In order to achieve reasonable levels of fire protection for Orono citizens,the City expects to provide and administer fire services according to the following policies: 1. Fire prevention is the first step toward reduction in fire loss damages. The City has adopted and will enforce the State Fire Code(which incorporates the provisions of the National Fire Protection Association Code). 2 A basic level of fire protection services will be provided consistent with land use type and density. Urban areas will be expected to require more frequent fire services and more extensive fire services than that necessary in rural areas. Fire protection levels will be expected to be higher where municipal water is available than where water supplies must be transported to the scene. 3. Each of the contracting fire departments will be expected to provide all necessary administration, equipment and manpower to provide adequate service within their district. Each of the two contracting fire departments is a municipally-operated volunteer fire department. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 4 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan 4. Orono expects to contribute its fair share of fire department expenses. Both fire protection contracts are written with the respective municipality and not directly with the fire department. Orono will expect to contribute its fair share of the costs of equipping and operating each fire department in comparison to Orono's relative service requirements. Fire Service Plans Orono intends to continue contracting for fire services from Long Lake. Land use type or density in areas not provided with municipal water will not be increased beyond the capability of rural water-hauling fire tactics. PUBLIC EDUCATION Orono is served by four local School Districts in addition to a number of private elementary and pre- schools,a private charter school, and a privately operated art center which provides nationally recognized art education to the public. Orono's four local school districts serve geographic areas of the City as indicated on Map 4D-1. Each of the four districts provides its own full service program of educational services for grades Kindergarten through Twelve, plus special education, recreation and community service programs. Each District is operated independent of the City by a separately elected School Board. Each District provides and manages its own student transportation services. And, since each District has its own tax powers, there maybe considerable difference in total property tax mill levy between different neighborhoods in the City. Minnetonka School District No. 276, This School District has the smallest area of the City within its borders serving only the two small sections of Big Island. The odd arrangement of this boundary dates back to some of the former township realignments in 1868 and 1889. It is doubtful that any Minnetonka students actually reside in Orono as only seasonal cottages are located on these portions of the island. Westonka School District No. 277. This School District includes all of the Navarre Area, the major portion of Orono's Urban Service Area, and a small amount of rural land on our western border.All Orono students within the district are now bused to their classrooms in Mound or Minnetrista: Mound Westonka High School, Sunnyfield Road, Minnetrista (Grades 8-12) Grandview Middle School, Commerce Boulevard,Mound(Grades 5-7)Shirley Hills Primary School,Wilshire Blvd.,Mound(Grades pre-K-4)Hilltop Primary School, Game Farm Road, Minnetrista(Grades pre-K-4). Westonka Schools have continually upgraded facilities, most recently a new performing arts center and an athletic and recreation center. Most of Orono's land area within District 277 is fully developed and urbanized with very little potential for major population increase.Many homes in this area arc occupied by older persons whose families have facility plans have no direct impact on District 277. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 5 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan Orono School District No. 278. This School District includes more of Orono's land area than all other districts combined. Most of this District is within Orono's Rural Area where total planned density is relatively low. However,this is also where most of Orono's remaining development will occur. Therefore, student population from this area of Orono is likely to remain steady or slightly increase over the next 10- 20 years. Because of the low land use density and the distances involved, almost all Orono students are now bused or driven to their classrooms on the Orono campus located on Old Crystal Bay Road between County Road 6 and Wayzata Boulevard. Included in this facility are: Orono High School, 795 Old Crystal Bay Rd. N. (Grades 9-12) Orono Middle School, 800 Old Crystal Bay Rd.N. (Grades 6-8) Orono Intermediate School, 685 Old Crystal Bay Rd.N. (Grades 3-5) Schumann Elementary School, 765 Old Crystal Bay Rd.N. (Grades K-2) The Orono Schools have continually upgraded facilities in Orono, including a high school auditorium in 1981, the Link between the Middle School and Schumann Elementary in 1990, and a new High School media center in 2000. The new Middle School opened in the fall of 2000, expanding the school's campus to the east side of Old Crystal Bay Road. The City has no plan or intent to close Old Crystal Bay Road as a result of this expansion. Orono does plan to study the current school and City facilities driveway access established The City has ample municipal water supply to serve the Orono Schools facilities. Orono's municipal sewer capacity downstream from the school campus is currently adequate to accommodate all known planned school facility needs. Wayzata School District No.284. This School District includes a small section of Orono's eastern edge including fully developed neighborhoods within the Urban Area and some homes in the Rural Area. A significant portion of this District's Orono land area is within the Wayzata Country Club's golf course or within the DNR's Wood Rill Scientific and Natural Area. Because of these long term land uses, and the low density planned rural land use,the potential for student population from this portion of Orono is very limited. Compared with the major increases in population occurring in this District in Plymouth, any change in Orono student population would be insignificant. Under current zoning, approximately 125 households in Orono will ultimately be served by Wayzata Schools. All Orono students are bused to classrooms in Wayzata or Plymouth. Facilities used by Orono students include: Wayzata High School, Peony Lane, Plymouth (Grades 9-12) Wayzata West Middle School, Barry Avenue, Wayzata(Grades 6-8) Gleason Lake Elementary, County Road 101, Plymouth (Grades K-5) None of these facilities are expected to be closed in the future.Any new facilities will likely be constructed in Plymouth where major population increases are occurring. Since no school facilities are located in Orono, Orono's facilities plans have no direct impact on District 284. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 6 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan The Minnetonka Center for Arts and Education offers instruction and facilities for all forms of artistic expression.The Art Center was established in the early 1970's as a local,privately operated place for artistic endeavors. Since that time, facilities have been provided for all-forms of education and hands- on art experience. The Art Center is privately operated and privately financed, but enrollment is open to all. Many Orono residents are active participants as are persons from the entire metropolitan area. Orono residents have ready access to all metropolitan educational facilities. Orono is within daily commuting distance of all the many educational institutions in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area including the University of Minnesota,community colleges,vocational schools and many private colleges, universities and specialty schools. This ready availability amply supplements the schools and institutions located within our borders. Public Education Policies 1. The City will take no direct role in determining educational needs. This is the responsibility of the separate school districts. 2. The City will encourage coordination of facilities and programs between those districts serving Orono. Orono and surrounding communities have limited populations and limited taxation capabilities. The City will encourage all reasonable forms of cooperation between school districts so as to avoid unnecessary duplication of staff or facilities. The City will coordinate community service programs with the school districts. Although each is administered separately, the City and School Districts are used and financed by the same citizens. It is only reasonable to expect cooperation so that improved community services such as recreation programs will be able to utilize available facilities and talents without duplication of effort or cost. Public Education Plans Orono's projected slow rate of population growth should not require the provision of any new educational facilities in any of the four local school districts, other than those facilities already planned. Orono's public facilities plans have no impact on the Wayzata, Minnetonka or Westonka School Districts because they have no facilities located in Orono. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND SERVICES This Section provides a brief review of the several public agencies that have jurisdiction over certain subjects in Orono, and a review of special services which have direct benefit to many Orono residents. A review of these subjects is not a mandated element of regional planning, but their inclusion in this CMP is indicative of their relationship to environmental conditions and land use planning. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 7 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan U. S. POSTAL SERVICE Addresses within Orono are tied to one of 5 different zip codes. There is no unique zip code for Orono. The lack of a single post office serving the entire City has long been a point of discussion among residents who may, for instance, live in the City of Orono, have children attending the Mound Schools, and have a mailing address of Wayzata, Excelsior or Mound. ka Sd'a x '3... 55356 io , -,- i v. , , ..,, • kis y ! rOfli ;.„ , 5536 ' , x V ' d. tit V . ) .4' 4,,. :i'l ',-- AT_ R D-1 zipcodes Figure 4 Postal Service Goal To have the U.S. Postal Service allow the use of the City name "Orono" with the appropriate post office zip code, which will lend cohesiveness and identity to our community. Postal Service Policy Orono will encourage the Postal Service to establish a separate "Orono" zip code or to utilize one of the existing rural route zip codes, combined with the use of "Orono, Minnesota", as the City address. Part 4D, Page 8 City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan PRIVATELY OPERATED UTILITIES AND SERVICES Citizens and properties in Orono are provided with power and communication services by public utility companies operating under public regulation and franchise. Sanitation services are provided by private haulers operating under license from the City.As in other elements of the CMP,the availability of service levels varies between the urban and rural portions of the City. In addition,electricity and telephone service districts are each divided between two different utility companies making coordination with City officials and City policy more involved than if only one company were involved. Electrical Service Electrical service is provided in Orono by two separate utilities. Northern States Power (NSP) provides service to most of Orono with local offices in Shorewood. Wright-Hennepin Co-op Electric Association,with offices in Rockford,provides service to a few properties in northern and northwestern Orono. The service areas are divided as shown on Map 4D-2. Cable Television & Communication Service Orono is provided with cable television service by Mediacom,the franchise holder which currently owns and maintains the cable television infrastructure in the Lake Minnetonka area.Not all homes in Orono are currently provided with cable service, which relies on a minimum level of residential development density in order to financially justify the infrastructure costs. Local programming and franchise administration are under the auspices of the Lake Minnetonka Cable Commission (LMCC), a joint powers organization consisting of 17 of the smaller cities around Lake Minnetonka. In terms of franchise administration, the LMCC controls rates on basic service,reviews technical standards and compliance,ensures that the cable operator is meeting the needs of the community in customer service, and provides quality television production facilities and training for the local communities. In terms of local programming, LMCC operates a television production studio in Spring Park and generates local programming which is broadcast over two local access channels. A total of four channels are dedicated to local Public, Educational and Governmental programming ("PEG Access"). Private Utility & Sanitation Service Goal To provide all citizens and all areas of the City with adequate levels of service in the most economical manner possible consistent with Orono's urban-rural land use plans. Sanitation Policies 1. Each resident will be responsible for his own sanitation requirements. The City will require by ordinance that all residents individually contract with a licensed hauler for regular pickup and removal of all garbage, trash, and rubbish. 2. Licensed haulers will be responsible for all administrative requirements including arranging for their own disposal sites. Rates, routes and schedules shall be determined by the hauler. Locating an approved disposal site and paying City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 9 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan all disposal costs shall be the responsibility of the hauler. 3. The City will encourage all recycling and resource recovery activities. Too much solid waste is being generated by all citizens. The City will encourage conservation measures by the citizens, by the haulers, by independent operators and by all levels of government. The City will encourage returnable bottles and cans and a general reduction in the volume of packaging materials. The City will encourage organics recycling. 4. The City will encourage neighborhood clean-up campaigns. At least once a year,the City will provide a local disposal site for trash and debris to encourage a general housecleaning and city-wide spruce-up of back yards, road sides, and vacant lots. Sanitation Plans 1. The City will continue the practice of private sanitation and haulage without direct public involvement in this activity. 2. The City will investigate the establishment of a recycling center or facility within Orono to encourage energy conservation and reduction in solid waste generation. 3. The City will participate with Hennepin County and other municipalities to find alternative waste disposal solutions. Management Of-of Utility Conduits Private Utility Policies 1. Utility placement will be permitted in public rights-of-way. 2. The City will require dedication of appropriate utility easements in all new subdivisions. 3. The City will require that utilities provided to new developments be placed underground whenever feasible. 4. The provision of utilities to new developments will be a private responsibility and will not be coordinated by the City nor provided with any public financial support. 5. Utility regulation, including rate charges,shall be by the State Public Service Commission and shall not be by the City. The City will not intervene in any problems or complaints between customers and private utility companies. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 10 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan 6. No private utility connection permits will be required from the City except that street opening permits will be required whenever a utility excavates within any public street right-of-way. CITY OWNED LAND, RIGHTS, AND EASEMENTS City Owned Easements The City has equitable interest in various types of easements across privately owned property throughout the City. The underlying property owner retains fee title to the property, but his use is limited in various ways according to terms of the particular easement. The City's rights are strictly limited to the purposes and conditions of the particular easement. These easements are described below according to their intended purpose: Underlying Road Easements.The Transportation Plan includes provisions for privately owned and maintained roads particularly in the rural area. In all cases where private roads are allowed, the City will as a condition of the subdivision require dedication and recording of a permanent underlying public ingress, egress and access easement. These easements will ensure legal access of the public to all properties served by the private road. Further, the City will by ordinance and easement conditions, guarantee that all private roads are maintained to City standards at all times through required maintenance agreements and/or homeowner's associations,and that failure of the private group to so maintain their private road will be cause for the City to accomplish needed maintenance and to assess the benefited properties for the direct cost of such maintenance. The existence of these easements will not in and of itself indicate any intention of the City to acquire and/or to regularly maintain the subject private roads, but only provides a legal contingency to assure general public-safety as well as public access to all building sites. Utility Easements. The City will as much as possible locate all public utilities on publicly owned rights-of-way. Particularly in the case of sewer lines, however, this is not always feasible in Orono's hilly terrain.The need for gravity flow often requires a sewer location to run across private properties, quite often between the homes and the lakeshore. In these instances, the City will acquire permanent utility easements to allow such placement and to permit regular maintenance activities to occur. The typical easement is at least 10 and does preclude any temporary or permanent construction over the sewer route. The existence of these underground utilities and the appurtenant easement seldom affects the appearance or use of the property, other than the construction limitation. In addition to the above, all new subdivisions are required to include platted, dedicated public "drainage and utility" easements along most lot lines to facilitate lot drainage and the installation of utilities such as sewer, water, power and telephone without the need for separate legal instruments. Drainage Easements. As in the case of utility easements, the City's topography often has resulted in natural drainageways running over privately owned property. Non-obstruction of the natural City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 11 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan drainage system is protected by our local environmental ordinances because such natural systems often are not covered by legal easements. Drainage easements are utilized where the City has constructed and/or maintains a storm drainage system across private property. These easements do legally record the non-obstruction requirements as well as provide for City maintenance access. In addition, all new subdivisions are required to include platted, dedicated public "drainage easements" along all natural creeks and drainageways and over all designated marshland or wetland. Flowage & Conservation Easements and Covenants for Wetland and Wetland Buffer Protection. Orono's Environmental Preservation and Surface Water Management Plans,as well as certain City Ordinances, have identified and designated wetlands, marshland and flood plains throughout the City that are to be permanently protected and preserved from encroachment or alteration. Whenever land containing such features is subdivided or developed,the City will require the land owner to dedicate a permanent flowage and conservation easement to the City over the affected portion of his land. Open Space Easements. In certain development situations,the City may have particular interest in permanently precluding certain types of improvements or in permanently protecting views or natural conditions or otherwise private property. This protection may be in return for allowing use or development of other areas of the property. In these circumstances, the City will require dedication of a permanent open space easement identifying the protected area and describing permitted and on-permitted uses or alterations. Open space easements may be temporary or permanent depending upon the circumstance. Open space easements will be filed in the chain of title of the subject property. Trail Easements. In locations where the City trail system has been or will be constructed, a Trail Easement will be acquired, either at the time property is subdivided (often as part of the required Park Dedication associated with land development) or via purchase or other means. Trail easements will be filed on the chain of title of the property, and will allow the use of the land by the City for the construction of a trail and permanent access by the public. TAX FORFEITED LANDS Many areas of Orono were platted and partially developed as much as 100 years ago,often into extremely small parcels. Many of these lots have never been developed because of their size, location or, often, because they are wetlands. They are not separately buildable because of land use and environmental constraints. Consequently, there are a number of lots that have been forfeited for non-payment of real estate taxes and for which title is held by the State of Minnesota. The City of Orono does not encourage tax forfeiture,but likewise the City will not permit use of extremely substandard or environmentally protected lands. Where tax forfeited lots exist, the City will pursue the following policies: 1. Encourage purchase by adjacent land owners for inclusion with their properties, City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4D, Page 12 CMP Part 4D. Public Services Plan normally requiring legal combination of the tax forfeit parcel with the adjacent land. 2. Encourage sale and private development of those parcels large enough to accommodate an occupancy consistent with the City's land use plans and zoning performance standards particularly where they can be used for low and moderate income housing pursuant to the Housing Plan. 3. Review and acquire for park purposes lots or larger parcels of sufficient size and location to be used for neighborhood mini-parks or play areas, or which are adjacent to and would be an appropriate addition to existing park or open space lands. 4. Review and acquire for flowage and conservation purposes those lots totally or significantly covered by marshland or wetland or which would have value for the City's surface water management system. COORDINATION WITH ADJOINING MUNICIPALITES The City of Orono has a long history of collaboration with the many municipalities who share its borders. This is illustrated by existing and ongoing shared services such as municipal sewer and water interconnections, building inspection services, police and fire department services, etc. Orono remains supportive of continued cooperation with adjoining municipalities in the provision of public services, and will work together with its neighbors on matters of common interest.

Parks,Trails, and Open Spaces INTRODUCTION The provision of parks, open space areas and trails in Orono is an essential quality of life element for the residents of the City. It is important for Orono to develop and implement a thoughtful strategy for meeting these needs in an efficient, economical manner. This Park, Open Space and Trail Plan is a refinement and restatement of the ongoing planning practice of the City of Orono. It respects and maintains the historic development patterns of the City. It continues many of the basic open space concepts established by the first organized comprehensive planning attempts in the mid 1960's, the 1974 Orono Village Comprehensive Guide Plan, and the 1980 Community Management Plan, the 2000-2020 CMP, and the 2010-2030 CMP. This Plan is prepared and presented for the following purposes: 1. To identify the recreation and open space needs of the City and its citizens. 2. To be a management tool for City officials, appointed commissions, City staff, and other parties involved in developing,maintaining,and managing recreational programs and city owned facilities in Orono. 3. Serve as the recreation open space element of our community management plan, designed to address and conform to all the applicable provisions of the Metropolitan Council's 2040 Regional Parks Policy Plan - . _ - . . - - 0 • AND DEFINITIONS Orono residents are serviced by a variety of park, recreation, open space, and trail facilities provided by the City,regional and state government,the Orono School District,and private enterprise. In addition,the community benefits from facilities in nearby communities which are accessible to and used by Orono residents. c rry .d. t' 4 a Component Use Servicea Size _ .. ---• .

Private Parks Available to the General Public One of the most recent additions to the Orono Park roster community is the Lakeview Legacy Park. The park is 4.5 acres of privately owned publicly available park land. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4E, Page 7 CMP Part 4E. Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces Lakes and Lake Access With more than 40 miles of Lake Minnetonka shoreline and nearly 5 miles of additional lake shorelines,Orono's lakes provide a significant recreational resource for all Orono residents. Lakes A defining characteristic of Orono is access to lake recreation opportunities. The two major lakes within the community are Lake Minnetonka which is managed by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and Long Lake which is shared between Long Lake and Orono. In addition to access that lake shore property owners enjoy the city maintains a number of lake access points. The DNR and Hennepin County each maintain a boat labeling public—access points on Lake Minnetonka. � �., tet, Agency Facility Acres in Orono LMCD Lake Minnetonka 4,700 Orono/Long Lake Long Lake 221 Lake Access In order to provide lake access for the general public,as well as to provide for fire department access to the lake as a water source, a number of lake access corridors were created as the shore land developed. These typically are platted,dedicated right-of-ways leading from the local road system to the shoreline, and are commonly from 16'to 66' in width. The historic level of use of these right-of-ways (sometimes referred to as a fire lanes or lake access roads)ranges from minimal to year-round.A number Certain of these corridors have been maintained by the City for local swimming beaches or as winter snowmobile and ice- fishing accesses. Certain accesses are provided with docks for fishing,and some have ramp areas suitable for launching a small boat. However, most do not have designated parking available, and are primarily intended to serve the neighborhood rather than the general public. A number of these access corridors have steep topography and experience a relatively low level of usage. Appendix B Map 4E-2 has a map of shows Lake Access Point and includes a complete listing of lake access points. Appendix C also includes a listing of lake access points. PARK SYSTEM NEEDS IDENTIFICATION At the present time, there are many parks and open space facilities located in the City of Orono. These recreation and open space facilities are primarily under City, State, Ceounty and Sschool District jurisdiction. Parks,Open Space and Trail Acreage by Classification Table 4E-5 The table below depicts the amount of park,trails and open space within the boundaries of Orono by type. The National Recreation and Parks Association recommends a minimum of 9.6 acres per 1000 population of available park land. Orono is well above this standard with 34.3 Acres of parkland per 1000 with just city maintained facilities. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4E,Page 8 CMP Part 4E.

Parks,Trails, and Open Spaces PARK, OPEN SPACE AND TRAIL GOALS AND POLICIES Orono's Park, Open Space and Trail Plan is based upon the following goals and Policies,which in turn are consistent with the other elements of Orono's Land Use and Community Management Plans: Goals 1. To provide passive open space and active recreational opportunities to serve the needs and desires all residents. 2. To protect, preserve, restore and provide access to ecologically significant natural resource areas, wildlife habitats and open space. 3. To provide citywide bike and walking trails that provide connections between area parks, trails and open space and when possible function as a transportation corridors. 4. To identify, preserve and highlight areas of historical significance. 5. To maintain and increase access for all residents to the city's lake resources such as Lake Minnetonka and Long Lake. 6. To achieve the above goals within the financial capabilities of the City and its citizens by developing fiscal and management policies that support maintenance, development and acquisition of parks and open spaces. Policies 1. The city will maintain a Park Commission (see paragraph 6.A. for details) of appointed residents to continually assess and evaluate the current parks, trails and open spaces within Orono. (Supports goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) 2. The city will actively encourage civic involvement in developing and maintaining Orono's parks and open spaces through programs such as adopt a parks and park clean up days. (Supports goals 1,2, 6) 3. The City will cooperate and actively work with public and private organizations to provide additional opportunities for recreation and open space that complement existing municipal, regional and private facilities. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) 4. Orono will require land developers to provide for recreational space to serve all new developmentssubdivisions. New developments that results in increased land use density will be required to include public dedication of lands necessary for additional parks, playgrounds, bike-hike trails and open space or will be required to contribute funds for the municipal purchase, of such lands or improvement of existing recreation facilities proportionate to the cumulative effect of such density increase. (Supports goals 1, 2, 3, 6) City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4E, Page 10 CMP Part 4E. Parks,Trails, and Open Spaces 5. Orono will encourage the preservation and protection of natural recreational and open space amenities including lakes,marshland,wetlands,and natural woodlands on private lands though open space through conservation easements, private donations, land trusts and other preservation methods that allow the private sector to play role in preservation of open spaces. (Supports goals 2, 6) 6. Orono will coordinate with other jurisdictions, agencies and non-profit organizations in the provision of sufficient active recreation facilities and programs to meet the needs of the community. Orono will actively encourage all school districts to coordinate their programs and facilities and to open them to the public whenever feasible. Orono will actively support and cooperate with the Orono and Mound-Westonka School Districts in their community service recreation programs. The City will encourage planning for organized team sports on a community/sub-regional basis. Orono will work with public or non-profit groups to fund the acquisition and development of recreational and open space lands and facilities. (Supports Goals 1, 4, 5) 7. Orono will strive toward connectivity between the various park and open space facilities. The interrelationships between neighborhood parks, conservation areas and the rest of the park system should be strengthened through the proper location and use of green ways, trails, underpasses and overpasses. Trail connections should be provided to neighborhood parks to enable pedestrian access. Trail corridors / easements will be incorporated at the edge of subdivisions and adjacent to major roadways. (Supports goal 3) 8. Orono will acquire additional public open space parcels as opportunities arise. The priority for any acquisitions will be for ecologically significant lands that abut existing park land, land that provides improved access to existing parkland and trails or land that facilitates the development of the planned trail system. (Supports goals 2, 5, 6) 9. The City's park dedication fund will be used for purchase of additional park land and/or for improvement of existing park land. Consistent with Minnesota Statutes, this fund will not be used for park maintenance or recreation operating expense. (Supports goal 6) 10. Where possible, recreational facilities will be designed to be barrier-free so that handicapped citizens have reasonable access to facilities. Orono will ensure that select new parks are constructed with accessibility in mind and to incorporate Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) design standards with projects to upgrade existing parks. (Supports goals 1, 3, 5) 11. Orono will maintain Lake Access for all residents. With shore land abutting a dozen separate bays in Lake Minnetonka, Orono has a commitment to maintaining access via the dedicated access corridors. It is the City's intent to permanently retain for public use all existing lake access corridors and fire lanes,regardless of the current level of use or maintenance. (Supports goal 5) To this end, the City will follow these policies: • Requests for vacation of dedicated lake access right-of-ways will be denied in all cases except where equal or better lake access will be granted nearby in return. • The City will identify and take necessary action to preserve the public's right to use of any such accesses which exist but which may not have been formally dedicated. • The City will endeavor to work with property owners adjacent to lake access corridors to City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4E, Page 11 CMP Part 4E. Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces ensure that both the rights of the public and the rights of the private landowner are upheld. 12. The city will conduct a periodic (10 year cycle)park usage and needs community wide survey to determine if residents' needs are being met. (Supports goal 1) 13. The city will review the existing park and facilities conditions to identify needed maintenance upgrades and replacements. 14. The city will provide sufficient funding for the administration and maintenance of the existing parks, trials and open space system as part of the regular City budget levy. Other sources of park funding such as development park fees, grants, support from local organizations, private donations, will be used for acquisitions, capital improvements and major renovations. (Supports goal 6) City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4E, Page 12 CMP Part 4E. Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces PARK, OPEN SPACE AND TRAIL ACTION PLAN The following paragraphs describe how Orono intends to act on the goals and policies of the previous section. Park Commission The Orono Park Commission serves as an advisory body appointed by the City Council to make recommendations about park, open space and trail issues. The Park Commission's mandate as set parks and recreation areas and facilities of all kinds, including, but not limited to, problems The Park Commissions tole in park planning is to will continuously evaluate park,open space and trail facilities and community needs. This ongoing evaluation process allows for identification and prioritization of improvements; taking into account such factors as population growth, demographic changes, levels of facility use, health and safety factors, condition of facilities, special populations, adjacent land use compatibility, and life cycle recreation; invasive species removal and satisfaction of community needs. The Park Commission will monitor the parks,open space and trail systems to satisfactorily address the goals and policies of this plan. Focus Parks and Trails The Park Commission will focus on the following Park, trails, and recreational facilities. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4E, Page 13 CMP Part 4E. Parks,Trails, and Open Spaces Big island In order to achieve the level of management needed to operate Big Island Park successfully, the City and Minnehaha Creek Watershed district created and adopted the Big Island Nature Park Management Plan,November, 2011. The management plan contains a vision and a series of goals for the park. The specific bullet points require additional clarification and coordination with the Plan. The proposed Comprehensive Plan for Orono 2040 will be a three-phase process as outlined below: Table 4E-6 •Big Island Implementatio ti4 " Y'It 4 4114,, Phase I: This Phase will focus on the making the park safe and accessible. • Clean up existing trails so they are passable for hiking. • Purchase and place a safe container for mowing and trail maintenance equipment. • Mow and maintain trails. • Establish controls for unauthorized use(snowmobiles) • Renovate existing structure(visitor center) • Evaluate Historical value • Create a plan to improve security.

City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4E, Page 14 CMP Part 4E. Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces Golf Course The city will look to secure the long term viability of the Municipal Golf course through a series of capital improvements focusing on both golf and alternative recreational activities on the site. In 2017 the city under took the development of a mini-master plan to lay out options for the park. Future projects may include: Table 4E-7#Golf Course Implementation,, � f' "` Priority Project Description 1 Porch/Patio Includes porch for clubhouse 2 Cart Parking Run concurrent with Porch project as the porch project eliminates current cart parking.Includes retaining wall and pavement for cart parking. 3 Fest Tent Area Leveling and clearing a 40'x60' area for placement of a fest tent to facilitate more events at the golf course 4 Fire Pit Natural gas fire pit area. 5 Lawn Bowling Project pending further analysis. Installation of a 30'x 120'2 lane lawn bowling facility 6 Snow Tubing Hill w/Tow Project pending further analysis. Installation of a tow rope and Rope procurement of snow tubes. 7 Multi-Use Trail Project pending further analysis. Installation of a perimeter multiuse trail at the golf course. Annual Focus Parks In addition to specific City initiatives or activities supporting Big Island and the Orono Golf Course, the Park Commission will designate one or two of its Parks each year for special consideration as "Focus Parks". In addition to normal maintenance activities, Focus Parks (neighborhood or community, recreational or natural) will be evaluated from a broader perspective, including potential capital investment. Examples for consideration could be: • Are there additional opportunities to increase use of the park (e.g. new trails or recreational facilities)? • Are special ecological or historical features of the park effectively featured? • Could the park benefit from more extensive removal of invasive species? • Are directional signs to the park and within the park adequate? • Are parking facilities appropriate for existing and proposed uses for the park? When designating a Focus Park, the Commission will also seek input from surrounding residents who could be impacted by changes in park use or investment. Recent examples of Focus Park designation included the conversion of the Susan E. Lurton Nature Area to include an off-leash dog park (2016-2017), extensive removal of invasive species, trail widening, new signage and benches at Saga Hill Nature Area (2017-2018), and potential new uses and improvements at Bederwood Community Park(2018-2019). City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4E, Page 15 CMP Part 4E.

Capital Improvement Plan The City manages capital expenditures at parks as part of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP provides long-term planning and management of infrastructure throughout the City. The CIP is a planning document that presents a 5+ year overview of scheduled capital projects to address the City's goals for public infrastructure. The CIP includes a long-term financing plan that allows the City to allocate funds for these projects based on assigned priorities. The 5+ year horizon of the CIP provides the City with an opportunity to evaluate project priorities annually and to adjust the timing, scope and cost of projects as new information becomes available. The information contained in this plan represents an estimate of improvement costs based on present knowledge and expected conditions. Changes in community priorities,infrastructure condition and inflation rates require that adjustments be made on a routine basis. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4E, Page 16 CMP Part 4E. Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces Funding for Acquisition and Capital Improvements As Orono becomes fully developed over the next two decades,the amount of money collected via new development park dedication fees will decrease substantially. Funding for the acquisition of park lands and for improvement of existing facilities will require alternative sources of capital in the future. The City will continue to investigate mechanisms for future funding and will continue to encourage private donations of land or funds in order to maintain the level of active and passive recreation opportunities desired by Orono residents. Orono currently provides funding for park, open space and trail acquisitions and improvements by the following methods: Mandatory developer contributions of land or cash payments to the Park Dedication Fund at the time property is subdivided or developed; transfers from the City's general fund; private contributions of land or funds; fees for use; and grants.

LA 1 6, 14 . ► • • ► COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ADOPTION AND AMENDMENT PLAN PREPARATION The basic goals and philosophies contained in the 1974 Orono Village Comprehensive Guide Plan were continued in subsequentplansand are still the backbone of this 2020-2040 CMP.This update has been drafted by City Staff with input from an Advisory Committee established to advise the city on the development of this plan, and a separate committee and consultant, WSB and Associates, established to advise the city and its consultant on the development of the Navarre Area Plan. The Planning Commission and City Council received this input and support this plan. The Advisory Committee members were: Planning Advisory Committee Navarre Area Plan (NAP) (PAC) Bob Erickson Erik Zweber, WSB and Associates Candice Nadler Carlo Missio, WSB and Associates Chad Olson Ralph Kempf Dennis Libby Charles Nadler Dennis Walsh Kirk Sherman Jan Berg Michael Reymann Jennifer Smiley Tanya Srepel John Morast Devon Steinmeyer Jon Schwingler Ross Elenkiwich Meg Cowden Harry Yaffe Phil Lusardi John O'Sullivan Rick Meyers Shawn Mclntee Mary Tucker Bill Wolfson The Advisory Committees held a number of open houses to and community interactions to generate interest and facilitate comments. The PAC held a public Open House on September 13, 2017 to introduce the work to the public, and an open house on May 10, 208 to introduce the public review period. A final open house was held on October 25th to allow the public to review the final plan and to collect more comments prior to final adjustments for Planning Commission and City Council review. Open House forums were chosen to facilitate comments from City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 5,Page 2 CMP Part 5. Implementation constituents that may be uncomfortable speaking in larger, more formal forums. In the Summer/Fall of 2017, an online survey was distributed to help inform the planning process for the comprehensive plan. This survey is attached as Exhibit 5-C. PLAN ADOPTION Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355, Subd. 2, the Orono Planning Commission explained the intent and the details of the CMP, and received public comments thereon, at an official Public Hearing held for that purpose on November 19, 2018. Notice of the Hearing was published in the official City newspaper on November 3, 2018. Following closing of the Public Hearing, and after discussion concerning changes and comments resulting from the Hearing,the Planning Commission on a vote of recommended that the City Council adopt the Plan. On December 10, 2018 the Orono City Council on a vote of approved the concept and direction ofthe Community Management Plan,and adopted Resolution granting approval of the plan and ordering its submittal to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval. This Community Management Plan was delivered to the Metropolitan Council on for their official review and approval. Metropolitan Council granted formal approval of the Plan on . The Orono City Council formally adopted the Plan via Resolution No. on on a vote of ayes and_nay. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 5,Page 3 CMP Part 5.

PLAN AMENDMENT After formal adoption of this CMP by the City Council, there shall be no amendments made to the plan content except by the following applicable state law. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 5,Page 4 CMP Part 5. Implementation IMPLEMENTATION The City utilizes various tools to implement the Comprehensive Plan. The primary tools include, but are not limited to: 1)Zoning Regulations and Zoning Map—Chapter 78 of the City Code 2) Subdivision Regulations—Chapter 82 of the City Code 3) Individual Sewage Treatment System Regulations—Chapter 58 of the City Code 4) Sewer and Water System Regulations—Chapters 14 and 82 of the of the City Code 5)Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) (Appendix A) 6)City Budget 7)City Fee Schedule(esp. sewer,water, and park dedication fees to support infrastructure). Zoning Regulations and Zoning Map The current zoning map is attached as Appenisti-x--BMap 5-1.The City intends to review these official controls for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan within nine months of adopting the Plan as required by State law.The City will also make any changes which are necessary to make the official controls consistent with the Plan within this timeframe. The City has identified that the following changes may be necessary to make the official controls consistent with the Plan: 1)Review standards for development within the Mixed Residential Land Use. 2) Amend official controls to achieve consistency with updated density requirements for Medium-High Density Residential and High Density Residential land uses. 3)Amend official zoning map for property for which a Future Land Use Map-was amended. 4)Review environmental protection regulations. Administrative Provisions The Ordinances pertaining to general government operation are updated on an ongoing basis to reflect current policy and requirements. General performance standard revisions may be needed to be consistent with the CMP, with current development concerns and with recognized existing situations. The City wishes to carefully protect CMP plans and neighborhood property values, but does not want to require unnecessary zoning reviews, extensive delays, or unrealistic standards. Areas needing attention include: -Ceommercial district development standards and uses, Llake access management, Sstandards for private roads,and Nonconforming use provisions. ISTS Management The City's progressive policies regarding management of individual sewage treatment systems will be continued and strengthened as the best insurance policy against unnecessary extension of municipal sewers into the Rural Area. The City will continue to provide for a full-time City employee whose duties are public education and the enforcement of proper on-site sewage City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 5,Page 5 CMP Part 5. Implementation treatment system operation. Current ordinances provide for regular system maintenance and for periodical inspection of all existing systems by the City inspector. Environmental Ordinances The Shoreland Management ordinances adopted in 1992 require only minimal if any revisions at this time. An updated Floodplain Ordinance was adopted in 2016 to be in conformity with FEMA and other regulations, and a new Wetlands Ordinance was adopted in 2005 in compliance with MCWD requirements as well as those of the Surface Water Management Plan.Certain additional amendments of these Ordinances may be required upon forthcoming adoption of the updated SWMP. Lake Use Ordinances The regulations involving lake use,harbor limits and management of access to Lake Minnetonka as a recreational resource will be reviewed to determine whether they should more adequately incorporate Lake Minnetonka Conservation District rules where appropriate,and to provide City regulation where necessary. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Overview In order to achieve Orono's development goals and objectives in accordance with the CMP, expenditures of public funds will be required. Such expenditures may include acquisition of park and open space lands, road construction or reconstruction, maintenance equipment purchases, municipal building improvements, utility extension or reconstruction, stormwater management facilities construction, and the like. The city annually reviews the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)to identify and prioritize capital expenditures over a sufficient period to allow for adequate financial and budgetary planning. The CIP allows the City Council to make sound financial decisions for accomplishing the various capital improvements required to implement the CMP. The CIP is attached as Appendix A to this chapter. Potential funding sources for capital improvement expenditures may include: General Fund Special Assessment General Obligation Bonds - Revenue Bonds - Tax Increment Financing - Development Impact Fees - Grants from public agencies Donations SUMMARY OF PROJECTED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 5,Page 6 CMP Part 5. Implementation Commercial/Industrial Development Infrastructure The public improvements required to support Orono:s planned development are essentially in place. Minor expansions of infrastructure are expected to be paid for by the developer. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 5,Page 7 CMP Part 5. Implementation Sewer/Water Systems Renovation Ongoing maintenance of the Citys sewer and water systems occasionally requires capital expenditures for major rehabilitation work. These system renovation projects will be primarily funded by revenues from operation ofthese utilities,with additional necessary funding from special assessment to the system users. Parks and Open Space The CIP includes a Parks, Open Space and Trails element. The primary capital expenditures will involve the improvement and maintenance of existing park lands. Funding sources will include fees collected through the subdivision process(Park Fund),the General Fund, and grants or donations from public agencies and private entities. A large proportion of Orono's existing preserved open space has been through private and public contribution. Stormwater Management Implementation of Orono's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) will require significant public expenditures, including site acquisition and construction of stormwater retention ponds, storm sewer construction,and related projects. Funding sources will include the City's Stormwater and Drainage Utility Fees (charged to all properties on an annual basis); the Stormwater and Drainage Trunk Fees(charged to all new developments);the General Fund;and grants from other public agencies. Road Maintenance and Reconstruction Reconstruction of City roads has in the past been funded through the General Fund rather than by special assessments. This practice is expected to continue. Minnesota State Aid (MSA) funding for reconstruction of qualified road segments will be a principal source of funding for ongoing road reconstruction. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION Orono has a number of long-standing interrelationships with surrounding jurisdictions and public agencies. These relationships have arisen as a result of many and varied factors, including: geographic proximity; efficiency and economies of scale; mutual goals and philosophies; and a desire to provide for a more uniform and coordinated planning and delivery of services. Orono will continue to encourage cooperative local efforts for the sharing of services, equipment and facilities. Cooperation with regional and state governmental units will be encouraged, especially where mutual goals can be identified and implemented. City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 5,Page 8 2040 Orono Comprehensive Plan Comments based on final draft plan published April 29,2018 Commenter Comment Response 1 Aaron Printup Map 3b 3a shows Crystal Bay and some other areas as urban medium density. Adjust map to reflect 2030 planned land use. Why did they go up? It should go back to current definitions. 2 Aaron Printup Map 3b 6 shows the color blue being defined as Institutional. That changed in We did away with the institutional land use because a Met Council 2010 from"Educational"I believe. Educational is more appropriate. requirement is that the zoning ordinance must match the comprehensive plan,and we don't have an educational zone. Education is allowed in R-1A, R-1B,LR-1A, LR-1B,and RR-1B zoning districts. 3 Aaron Printup Maps show parks as being defined as Parks,but some are parceled out. How All maps are based on a base layer of parcels,from the County. does that change so they are just simply parks? 4 Westonka Schools Add westonka school features similar to that's listed for Orono School features updated in 4D public services.

Medina has a similar policy in place and fully supports Orono's objective. 7 City of Medina Transportation:Willow Drive from County Road 24 to County Road 112 is Road classifications will be changed classified as an"other arterial"roadway within regional plans. Medina's transportation plan proposes to reclassify this roadway to a minor collector. It appears that a collector classification would be more appropriate now that Willow Drive does not access Highway 12.Classification as a collector would also seem consistent with Orono's classification south of County Road 112. 8 City of Medina Transportation: Medina identifies Hunter Drive from County Road 24 to County Road classifications will be changed Road 6 as a minor collector and Orono's draft Plan update identifies it as a local roadway.We request that Orono consider a minor collector classification. 9 City of Medina Water supply: Medina notes the potential need for additional water storage in Comment noted, no change the Highway 12 water system during the timeframe covered by this Plan update.Medina recommends that Orono ensure adequate water connection fees to fund such improvements. 10 City of Medina Water Supply:Orono's projected average day water usage and peaking factor Comment noted, no change suggest a high level of lawn irrigation. Lawn irrigation conservation efforts can substantially decrease the need for capital investments in capacity expansions.

Some of Prenevost new density added to the west of the school on Wayzata Blvd should have section is in Long Lake. Wayzata Blvd undergoing complete reconstruct, mandatory sidewalks/trails that connect to the dog park and to the school(and intersections will be improved. its new activity center). The intersection of Wayzata Blvd and Willow Drive needs to have safer crosswalks/sidewalks, both in connecting to Kelly Parkway as well going as south on Willow all the way to Hackberry Park.So many bikers/walkers use Willow on this stretch of road(along Super America, Country Cake,etc.),and it is not very safe to travel on,especially when you are trying to cross Wayzata Blvd from the South to get to Harvest Moon and the new trail going into Long Lake. Please continue the trail along Old Orchard Rd,so it can connect to the Luce Line at minimum, but also the Orono golf course and the Dakota trail if possible.Long Lake has a wonderful trail along Old Orchard Rd,but it abruptly ends when you go south into Orono.The ideas around expanding the use of Orono golf course are wonderful,and it would be amazing if residents could more easily access this community area by walking or biking. 25 Rebecca Finally,as we create growth,we need to encourage(and reserve space for) Commercial land uses are planned to be minimal,service more Prenevost business and services that meet the needs of our residents without them neighborhood needs. Larger, regional commercial needs are expected to having to get in their car so much.Especially,with more memory care and be satisfied by adjacent communities.

(lunch spots,coffee)within walking distance would make this area so much more appealing and would help maintain Orono's small town feel.Please help create a better balance between higher density housing and the potential for these types of businesses.For example,the open space across from Harvest Moon should have some type of business as part of the development. 26 Samantha As discussed, I moved to Orono(vs.Plymouth or Wayzata)because I valued Comment noted,no change.

This was done to prevent the urbanization of wildlife that thrive in our area,along with the strong schools and friendly other areas not appropriate for high density residential. community.

Z:\COMPREHENSIVE PLANS\Comlfbaglrai b080-2040\Comp Plan Comments\Appendix Comp plan comments and responses 28 Samantha The proposed zoning around Long Lake is reasonable and appropriate. It is Comment noted, no change Muldoon consistent with past zoning guidelines, and will maintain the existing character of the neighborhood,while allowing for a reasonable level of development. It will allow much of the nutrient rich water run-off(that can lead to dangerous algae blooms)to be re-absorbed into the land,where it can be filtered by wetlands and native plants prior to reaching the Lake. It will also provide valuable natural corridors to allow the movement of wildlife in our neighborhoods-a critical need for our fellow animals and birds and those of us that enjoy them. It provides natural vistas and sweeping views of nature/lakeshore for residents,and also creates a sense of cohesion and consistency in the neighborhoods surrounding the lake and wetlands. I am strongly in favor of maintaining this Zoning of LR-1A. 29 Samantha I would also like to commend the Committee for planning for additional trail and A trail will be considered as part of the Wayzata Blvd turn back project. Muldoon natural walkways(for example, East Long Lake Road),and connecting new trails when possible to older,traditional trails(Loose Line, Dakota Trail). would urge the city to consider additional trails around the school areas,as parents and kids would use those walkways for exercise frequently,and it would be great to connect(for example)the school areas to the Lurton Park Dog Park via a trail,or the Willow view neighborhood to the school campus via a trail. Z:\COMPREHENSIVE PLANS\Comlfa 150-2040\Comp Plan Comments\Appendix Comp plan comments and re nses 30 Ava Bird As I reviewed the 2030 and 2040 land use maps I became very concerned. The 2030 map, as approved in 2008 shows the northeast side of Lake My family owns a historic home on Lake Classes and these new maps show Classen as Low density Residential(0.5-2 units per acre). The 2040 Plan, density and medium-hiqh density areas proposed on the 112 side of the lake. I as proposed,shows this area Urban Low, 0.5-2 units per acre. The MUSA believe that increasing the population with medium and medium high density boundary is unchanged. North of 112,south of Lake Classen, both plans areas is detrimental not only to the health of Lake Classen and surrounding reflect Rural Residential(1 unit/2 acres) areas, but also does Orono no good in the long run. I have already begun to see the negative effects of rapid development in this area. Lifelong residents are quickly leaving this area because of the dramatic changes that have been happening including residential expansion that is leaving their hometown more populated, busier,and flooding with new developments.The charm and natural setting that has attracted families to this area is quickly being destroyed and replaced with buildings. I have heard this early type of development being compared to Maple Grove,an area that also attracted people because of its natural beauty but quickly grew so dense that the natural landscape was replaced with developments. I know that the mayor has a background in developing areas,and I question if the current residents'best interest really are in mind,as current residents don't benefit from this surge in population at all, and rather have the peaceful area they moved to become a busy suburb. My parents have saved their entire lives to live in our home on Lake Classen and they envisioned it to be their retirement home, but with these changes we are distressed. I oppose the addition of medium density and medium high density proposed zoning anywhere on or near Lake Classen. In addition, I am fully against any type of apartment or condo or townhome that is situated on or near Lake Classen. Keep in mind the historic homes on this Lake,and the families that live in them. Please preserve the natural beauty our area has,and keep in mind with more population comes more problems. Z:\COMPREHENSIVE PLANS\Comleir5 ASO-2040\Comp Plan Comments\Appendix Comp plan comments and responses From: Stacey Royal To: ,Jeremy Barnhart;victoriaseals(@gmail.com; Denny Walsh Cc: David Royal Subject: Comprehensive Plan Public Opinion Date: Wednesday,November 07,2018 1:54:31 PM Jeremy, We would like to submit a public comment regarding the 2040 comprehensive plan that will be submitted for final approval at the December 2018 city council meeting. We have reviewed the plan and have serious concerns regarding the level of density that is being proposed in the plan along the Highway 112 corridor. We understand there were requirements by the Met Council to increase the opportunity to provide density, but we are very concerned about a 192 unit apartment building coming into that section of town. Orono simply does not have the infrastructure to support this additional increase. The traffic in the mornings is already a concern due to the high speed limits on highway 112 and highway 6, the two highways surrounding the schools. Adding an additional 100+ cars to this traffic in the morning will cause safety concerns for the students at the Orono Schools. Moreover, Orono does not have services available to support this type of density. We have a co-op that has some groceries, but there is not a full service grocery store, nor is there public transportation. We want to submit this opinion for consideration as developers start to propose developments on these properties that are now zoned for higher density. Most residents of Orono are not aware of these plans. They are not aware of rezoning and what the "opportunity to increase density" means to our rural community. Unless families request this information, it has not been shared broadly with the community. We were only made aware of this due to an anonymous letter that was sent to our residence alerting us to a proposed development in our neighborhood. Orono does not have a downtown; we are a rural community and that is why people choose to live here. Changing the character of Orono by building multi-unit, multi-floor buildings will not be welcomed by most who live in this community. We are just one family voicing our concern because we are aware of the proposed changes and believe they would be significantly detrimental to Orono and its residents. Thank you, David &Stacey Royal 3135 Jamestown Road Orono, MN 55356 952-473-9528 Last year, the city council reviewed the environmental protection plan (EPP) section of the 2030 comprehensive plan, parts of which are incorporated into the 2040 comprehensive plan draft. There is a description of Orono as a"rural oasis." (p. 3A-13, EPP). There is also language about the need to protect the wetlands, not only for their character, but also their role as wildlife habitat and for their filtration function as pollution control (removing phosphorus, etc.). There are remarks about how urbanization directly and disproportionately adds decreased water quality and to eutrophication of lakes, especially, in this case, Lake Minnetonka. Lake Classen and the surrounding wetlands drain into Stubbs Bay. Most of Orono is in the Minnehaha watershed area. There are also discussions about minimizing hardcover run-off, preventing stormwater flooding, and prevention of other pollution, including light pollution that destroys the dark sky. There is a stated desire to protect views, protect trees and wildlife, to maintain the rural nature and appearance of this area and to protect the character of the neighborhoods. These goals are summarized on p.3A-39 of the EPP. It is clear that a lot of work and consideration went into that document. The 2040 plan and the EPP from the 2030 plan both state that the will of the residents of Orono is more important than rapid development or any outside influence. Both documents praise and promote the tendency for slow growth and thoughtfully considered development.(p. 3A-13, EPP) The 2040 plan specifically addresses lakeshore property development on p. 3B-12. It seems to be primarily regarding Lake Minnetonka, but should apply to all lakeshore property in Orono. Allowing the construction of either of the two proposed apartment complexes (Eisinger Flats and Orono apartments) runs directly counter to the guiding principles outlined in the Environmental Protection Plan. So one needs to ask, why would the council and planning commission consider these proposals? It is because both the planning commission and the council are pressured the Met Council, which is an unelected body of power hungry individuals who want to push their worldview on everyone else. I am sure you all are aware of the uproar regarding 4-plexes (now tri-plexes) in existing residential neighborhoods. Both the council and the planning commission have to take into account the Met Council growth predictions. Why? What happens if Orono doesn't grow as fast as the Met Council thinks it should? The Met Council is for the urban part of the Twin Cities, not for out here. The Met Council's wishes and goals, are directly opposed to maintaining an open rural feel in a community. Why not let Orono grow organically? Slowly? Interestingly, the Met Council's Storm Water Impact Investigation (1973) notes that 1. "the impact of converting an area of undeveloped land to dense residential use will increase the pollution load from that area by more than ten (10) times." And 2. "The storm water from dense residential areas averages fourteen times greater phosphorus concentrations than the lakes...[and]these concentrations are over nine times greater than the concentrations associated with nuisance algae blooms."(EPP p. 3A-21) Another question: Who gains from these developments? The developer does. The owner of the giant apartment complexes does. The owner of the land these developments will be built on does. Maybe the city does, because of increased property taxes, although if the land was developed as zoned, it would probably be about the same. If the high density housing brings in lots of children, however, all the city money will go to build more classrooms. Who does not benefit from these developments? The current residents, the people who live here now, who pay taxes now, who live here because they like the way it is. More on the developers: For both projects, both developers are already asking to go higher than the 30 foot height limit. Probably they don't make as much money on a two story building as on a three story building. Yet another question: Why were the households that would be directly affected by these high density projects not officially notified of these projects? Just before the last planning commission meeting, the families in our neighborhood received an anonymous letter about the proposed "Orono apartments." Because of this, I looked on the city website and found, to my absolute astonishment, that this was real. There had been no public communication with any of us in this neighborhood. The only way we found out was through the anonymous letter. The Lake West Development company website promotes this as a done deal. Just as a side note, there was no mention of any of this in the recent Orono City newsletter, either. As you can tell, I am totally opposed to the proposed developments (Eisinger Flats and Orono apartments). They do not belong on the far edge of town, and certainly not on the edge of a protected lake and wetland. There is no transportation, no services, no infrastructure, no cable internet, no sewer or water. If working age people are expected to move in, you know they will not be working in Orono or Long Lake. They will add to the giant traffic jams that are Highways 12 and 6. My understanding from the planning meeting is that Eisinger Meadows is, in fact, a done deal. But Eisinger Flats is not. It does not have to be apartments. It does not have to be anything. We moved to the Orono district about 5 or 6 year ago primarily for the school. We chose the house we purchased because of where it was in the Orono school district. We could have moved into a denser area, but we wanted the open view and open feeling. From the EPP, it is clear that we are not the only ones who prefer a less dense, more rural feel. There are trade-offs for living out here. -- Housing can be expensive. --Our taxes are very high. --We have to drive at least 15 minutes to buy many basic things. --We pay for our own road maintenance, including patching, resurfacing, plowing, etc. --We are NOT on city water. We have a well that requires an iron breaker, and a water softener at minimum. We also have a Culligan reverse osmosis filter. We have septic/pumping station access to city sewer(previous owner's choice). --We provide our own security. --Access to highway 6 is difficult. Hennepin County won't reduce the speed on Hwy 6 (55 mph) as it comes past our road. Most of the traffic is faster than that, as the limit is rarely enforced. Hennepin County apparently requires a certain number of deaths to decrease the speed limits. But we happily do all this in exchange for the open view, the low density, out in the country feeling. When we bought our house, we asked and were informed that Orono had a 2 acre minimum lot size. We also asked and were informed that high density housing was not going to happen around us because of that zoning. At that time, the areas around us were all zoned that way, from what I can tell. We would NOT have bought this house if we thought that we would be near high density housing, because of the associated noise and traffic, and because we don't want that"in the city"feeling. Someone at the planning meeting suggested that this is a NIMBY issue. Not really. In fact, that's pretty offensive. All we really want is for the rules to be followed and to not allow unnecessary projects that will change the character of the town and the neighborhood and violate the zoning and building agreements. The situation is not unlike a family that moves out into the country. If they purchase property near a pig farm, they were aware that it existed and accepted the accompanying odors, etc. Say that they purchase property that is distant from animal farming, specifically because they don't want odors, etc. Should they be unhappy if a factory pig farm wants to locate half a mile or less from their property? Should they protest that the farm is being built? Of course. They made their decision based on what was there, in either case. Will their property values drop? Of course. Will their quality of life diminish? Of course. Will they be compensated? Of course not. The owners of the pig farm should consider the existing landholders' sentiments, and decide if they want to build their facility in a relatively hostile environment. The stated goals of future development in Orono are: 1. "Promote the conservation and enhancement of the quality of surface water and wetlands throughout the city, particularly Lake Minnetonka" 2. "Ensure the preservation and enhancement of the existing "rural character" of the city." (EPP p. 3A-14 and following for the guiding principles.) Impacts: Most of these apply to both proposed developments, but I will specify as appropriate. 1. Environmental Orono's motto and shield show ducks and reeds. Orono calls itself"the Lakeshore City." What has been proposed will dramatically impinge on the wetlands that Orono states that it wants and needs to protect. In fact, the plan shows buildings (Eisinger Meadows and Flats, diagram from the 9/17/18 meeting) overlapping onto the wetland setback. How is that OK? Is the developer expecting that he can fill in some of the setback area? 2. These developments will negatively affect waterfowl nesting places and migratory pathways. There are nesting swans, lots of ducks, loons, and pelicans, which are protected. There are also minnows (no big fish), painted turtles and snapping turtles. The lake is 5 or 6 feet deep at most, with a muddy, mucky bottom and has lots of aquatic plant life. The DNR ratings for it are all "green," instead of"clear." It is not a recreational lake. I have not seen anything about an environmental impact statement. 3. Lake Classen and the surrounding marsh function as an estuary. The area is an important part of the Minnehaha Creek and Lake Minnetonka watershed and keeping pollution out of those bodies of water. 4. Destruction of other wildlife habitat. 5. Quality of life and protected view. In my backyard, I can hear traffic on Wayzata Blvd and highway 12 as a distant hum. I can hear birds and ducks. I can see the stars looking to the west, south and north. Not to the east, because of the school lights. I can see trees and water and sky and eagles and ospreys. I do not want to see apartments and townhouses (loss of view). I do not want to hear them(noise pollution). I have a very stressful job, so I intentionally chose a place which would provide a non-stressful, relaxing environment. Some people want coffee shops, some want to live on Lake Minnetonka, some want to walk, skate or bike around the chain of lakes. Some people like Uptown and the North Loop. My neighbors and I wanted peace and quiet. 4. Building on a landfill--speaks for itself. Is it stable? What happens to all the toxic materials when this is disturbed? This has not been looked at as of the 10/15/18 meeting. 5. Construction pollution—all the dirt, earth moving, noise, exhaust. 6. Water pollution--the proposals have asphalt parking, which of course produces lots of dirty, oily, salty runoff. The undeveloped land absorbs the rain. Asphalt parking lots do not. Rooftops with asphalt shingles do not. The EPP acknowledges that urbanization increases the amount of stormwater runoff. Salt and grit from the parking lots and roads in these areas will wash directly into the marsh, wetlands, Lake Classen and finally Lake Minnetonka. (p. 3A-45) 7. Proposed underground parking? Seriously? In a marsh? The EPP makes note that many areas near lakeshores and "any of the wetlands, wet organic soils often have perched water tables within three feet of the surface."(EPP p. 3A-9) 8. Sewer? How will that get there--through the marsh? If and when there is a leak or a break, raw sewage will discharge into the wetland and the watershed. The EPP states that the city recognizes that extending sewer lines to an area sometimes makes things worse. 9. Water supply--well vs. city water. The well water is hard and has tons of iron; who is going to condition it? Or is the city going to pipe water out there? 10. General pollution—how will you prevent random trash that didn't make it into the dumpster from ending up out in the lake and wetlands? How about tenants who decide to leave their couch behind instead of moving it? 11. Air pollution--estimated 378 cars for Eisinger Flats. Heating and cooling for 192 units. Another estimated 576 cars for Orono apartments, heating and cooling for 288 units. 12. Noise pollution--construction, cars, noise of people living, their music, air conditioners, etc. 13. Light pollution--building and parking lot lights, on all night for security. What about the dark sky that the EPP promotes and expresses a desire to preserve? 14. Preservation of views—promoted in the EPP. One or two three story apartment buildings will certainly change the view. As a side note, I do not think the short berm with half dead trees around the David Weekly development just south of the school is a good view. I think the pasture was better. 15. Preservation of trees. The Lupient property(Orono apartments) is full of trees, as is the old apple orchard. Cutting them down to make way for high density housing does not preserve them. 16. Preservation of existing landmarks. Apple orchard? 17. Increased traffic—An estimated 954 cars between the two developments. Wayzata Blvd at that location is too small to handle that amount of traffic. It is too small to handle the extra 378 from Eisinger Flats. Making the road bigger will cause more negative impact on the wetland, although I understand that that project will occur sometime. 18. Increased traffic on highway 6 will make it more difficult for us and others to get onto Highway 6. It is difficult to get onto highway 6 from our road now. We are near a blind curve, and the cars go by at around 55 mph or more. The proposed high density housing will bring more speeding traffic by our road, because it will be even more difficult to get onto highway 12, which will make it nearly impossible to exit from our road. It will also increase the traffic by the school, which is already congested, despite the recent revamp. 19. Increased traffic in general and congestion—more accidents, potentially lives lost. 20. And where will all these people work? Not in Orono. Not in Long Lake. More commuters on the road, more car exhaust, more car accidents. 21. Between these two developments, at least 1000 more people will be concentrated in this small area. Approximately 400 or more for Eisinger Flats, and 600 for Orono apartments. Orono's population in 2017 was about 8000. Is it reasonable to concentrate a 15% population increase in such a small space? 22. Too many children for the Orono schools to absorb. There is not enough physical room for that many children. Class sizes would have to increase, thus causing reduction in the quality of the education the children now receive. Dumping that many new students will destroy the excellence of the school. 23. These developments will stretch the Orono police force, or require that it be enlarged. 24. This significantly changes the character of the neighborhood and surrounding area. This takes away from our neighborhood. 25. Property value--high density housing across the lake will significantly diminish the value of our property. This includes not only financial value but also loss of quiet enjoyment of our property. It takes away the privacy of our back yard. It takes away peace and quiet. Will Orono compensate us for the loss? 26. Decreased security, caused by increased exposure of our property. 27. Zoning for higher density housing in Orono/Long Lake is present for the open parcels along Kelley parkway, where there is already sewer and water access, cable internet. There are no wetlands to destroy. These areas should provide enough opportunity for growth to satisfy the Met Council. From the data presented at the planning commission meeting, neither the Eisinger Flats nor the Orono apartments development is necessary. 28. The land on the south edge of Lake Classen is already zoned for 2 acre lot minimum. Why not keep it that way? Why not let Orono/Long Lake develop naturally instead of forcing artificial growth that cannot be handled by the existing infrastructure, the natural environment, the schools and local employment? We really just want the existing zoning to remain the same for the land around and on Lake Classen and the surrounding wetlands, and to prevent high density housing from coming into an area that cannot sustain it and that will be irreparably harmed by it. We feel that the proposed Eisinger Flats development is the wrong type of development for Orono/Long Lake. A high density project such as Eisinger Flats is too large for the area for which it is proposed—too much hardcover, too many people, too much traffic, too much pollution. It will not enhance the Orono community. It will detract from it. Another zoning question—the new zoning map shows that the area around Lake Classen is zoned as urban residential. Why not rural residential (1 unit per 2 acres)? The area around Lake Classen is not urban and is certainly of a rural character. According to the 2030 EPP, "Lake Classen, in Orono's rural area, is surrounded by orchards, woods and open fields with a handful of homes overlooking its waters. The Orono School District maintains a nature study area and waterfowl ponds on Classen's east shore."(emphasis added, p. 3A-4, EPP). The phrase"rural area" has been deleted from the 2040 plan. Merrill and Heidi Cole From: andv Daae To: Denny Walsh;)eremv Barnhart;victoriasealsCTamail.com Cc: julie page Subject: 2040 comprehensive plan public opinion Date: Sunday,November 11,2018 3:50:54 PM Dear council members, We would like to comment on the density plans for Orono over the coming years. We moved to Orono in 1999 because of the schools and the rural landscape which our family has enjoyed for nearly 20 years. We were informed of a 2 acre minimum which was in place which at the time made us feel secure that the community would not ever look like Maple Grove appears today,which happened very quickly.We,along with many members of our community, have been alarmed that prospective developers can just ask for variances to build more homes on smaller lot sizes if the council decides to grant such variances. Why were the zoning laws ever put in place from the beginning if variances are going to be given out to change them? In the last 20 years,class sizes in the school have ballooned from low 20's to the mid 30's and housing developments with 3 houses per acre are popping up. It is also my understanding that the school is currently full and that there is a desire to keep the high school to be under 1,000 students. There is also the hot topic of what the Met Council may want vs.what the members of the community want. Part of the issue is that many members of our community have no idea what the Met Council does and how they can influence development plans in rural communities. I did not move to Orono to have an appointed(not elected)Met council member who doesn't live in Orono tell us how to develop our community.What if we do not take their money?Can we refuse to listen to them if we do not take their money? I would be happy to pay slightly higher property taxes if we can govern ourselves without being governed from the outside. We understand the need to grow,but the town must grow smartly,and within its means. Developments plans need to be aligned with the desire of the community members and the ability of the towns infrastructure of roads and schools to handle the population growth.Many families move here for the tranquility and large lot sizes,not cookie cutter neighborhoods with 3-4 homes per acre or a 280+ unit development on 14 acres of property overlooking a marshland and a 190 unit development proposal just west of the schools on county road 12. These proposals and building projects have alarmed many in our community and we are asking that these concerns will be respected and considered by our city council. Thank you for your consideration, Andy&Julie Page 3050 Jamestown Rd. Orono Adams Remarks at Orono City Council Meeting October 10, 2016 My name is Tim Adams. In 1969 Mary & I came to Orono, to a 70-acre Dairy Farm on the NW corner of Long Lake, property adjacent to the proposed Larsen/Mabusth development. Schools, were important (and I hope everyone will support the coming Referendum!). But of equal importance was Orono's "Rural" environment— open fields, rolling hills, native woodlands, and a natural habitat for birds & critters. And of course, Long Lake and its watershed of ponds, streams, and wetlands. All distinctive features of this Neighborhood, which includes the Larsen/Mabusth properties. In 1974, I became the "Developer" of the Farm at Long Lake in Partnership with John Hartwell. John had grown up on The Farm and shared my desire to preserve the areas natural beauty and live within Orono's "Rural" Zoning and Development Guidelines. We did not ask the city to change the rules to accommodate our development. Forty-two years later, we consider the Farm a successful "Rural" development—24 Lots on 70 acres. Perhaps not the most profitable development at a density of 3 acres/lot, but a development that "followed the rules": • No changes to Orono's Comp Plan, Zoning, and City ordinances. • Protected Long Lake and its watershed of ponds, streams and wetlands. • Preserved Rural open spaces, woodlands, and views. • Met standards for private septic systems in Rural areas. • Reduced costs to the City with private roads built to city specifications From 1979 thru 1986 I was privileged to serve on the Orono Planning Commission and City Council. I sat in your chairs and participated in the shaping of Orono's Rural development policies. For which I understand the proper term is "semi-rural" From our recent analysis of public records (a copy of which you have been given) I can identify 52 lots adding up to approximately 180 acres developed in the Neighborhood surrounding the Larsen/Mabusth properties. These include lots in Homestead (6), Salem Court (7), Dickey Lake (15), Shadowood (17) and other properties along Brown Road North (7). The average density of these lots is approximately 3.5 acres/lot. We have not included Sugar Woods, (density of 1.3 acres/lot) in this analysis of Neighboring Rural development for the following reasons: • There were no Lakeshore or watershed issues in Sugar Woods. • Sugar Woods is heavily wooded, due partly to the developer's planting the open fields with pines to strengthen his argument for rezoning to from 2 acre minimum to 1 acre minimum and exception from the requirements for private septic systems. Page 1 Adams Remarks at Orono City Council Meeting October 10, 2016 • The development plan includes significant setbacks from Brown Road and immediate neighbors. • Sugar Woods is adjacent to Hgwy 12 and abuts commercial zoning. I won't take your time tonight to list the many Neighborhood concerns of the proposed average density of .95 units/acre for the Larsen/Mabusth properties 1. How many years of construction and how will City manage? 2. How many more cars on Brown Road? 3. How many more boats and docks on Long Lake? 4. What is environmental impact on Long Lake and how can we trust the "experts"? 5. Is this the end of Private Roads and Orono Septic System Policies and what is impact on City Finances? 6. What will happen to property values in the Neighborhood? 7. What impact will higher density development have on our Schools? You've heard these questions before when you consider changes to Zoning in a fully developed neighborhood. They are important, particularly when one considers how much rural property remains undeveloped in Orono. No, I want to focus on one question — Density (Slide showing site plan and density calculations) We really have two development concepts going on in this 25-acre property. The 1st is one we could come to love —6 lots on 10.9 acres (1 unit/1.8 acres) • Lakeshore & lots buffering Neighbors come close to meeting current zoning and Watershed Requirements • City sewer and storm water mgmt. plans to protect Long Lake. • A few developer "cheats", but City Staff can manage o Wetlands & storm water structure in "buildable" calculations o 50' vs 60' ROW for streets o Flexibility to move lot lines/adjust setbacks to accommodate developer o No final approval from MCWD Page 2 Adams Remarks at Orono City Council Meeting October 10, 2016 But the Balance of the property— 19 lots on 10 buildable acres (1.9 units/acre) comes from another playbook. This is not Rural Orono, this is not even Semi Rural Orono. By the consultants own calculations, Half the property (10 acres) will have 1 house/2 acres; the other half, 2 houses/1 acre. Listen carefully, sounds pretty close - but the proposed density on 50% of the property is actually 4x greater than that proposed for the Balance of the property and 4x greater than what has come to be known as "Semi Rural" Orono. This is not the neighborhood we have lived in for 47 years, this density is not in any way similar to The Farm at Long Lake or any of the other residential development in Neighborhood. And contrary to the consultant's assertions, the only way this proposal can "meet the rules" is to "change the rules." I would quote from Staff comments: "the proposed plan would require rezoning and an amendment of (Orono's) Comprehensive Plan." If questions remain, I invite any Council Member to visit our Neighborhood and share more than time tonight allows. On behalf of many who live in the Neighborhood surrounding the Larsen/Mabusth properties, we are asking you, the City Council to give specific direction to the property owners to revise their proposal to live within the existing Zoning and Comp Plan requirements. We would expect this to save considerable time and dollars for the City, the Neighborhood, and property owners. Page 3 November 13, 2018 Jeremy Barnhart. Community Development Director City of Orono 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, MN 55356 RE: Preliminary Review of the City of Orono 2040 Comprehensive Plan Metropolitan Council District 3 Metropolitan Council Review File No. 22055-0 Dear Mr. Barnhart- Metropolitan Council staff have reviewed the preliminary draft of the City of Orono's 2040 Comprehensive Plan (Plan), received on August 27, 2018. In the preliminary review, staff focused on whether the draft Plan appeared to be complete and contained any major system issues or policy conflicts. Time did not permit as thorough of a review as will occur when the Plan is officially submitted for Council review. A more detailed review may reveal other important matters that were not identified during this preliminary review. When addressing the matters in this letter, City staff are advised to refer to the City's Checklist of Minimum Requirements in the Community pages of the online Local Planning Handbook and the City's System Statement: City of Orono's Checklist of Minimum Requirements: https://metrocouncil.org/Handbook/Files/Checklist/02396081 Orono Checklist.aspx City of Orono's Community Page: https://lphonline.metc.state.mn.us/CommPage?ctu=2396081&applicant=Orono City of Orono's System Statement: https://metrocouncil.orq/Communities/Planninq/Local-Planninq-Assistance/System- Statements/S ystem-Statements/02396081 Orono 2015SS.aspx The preliminary review process found the following sections complete for review and did not identify any major system issues or policy conflicts: Aggregate Resources. Surface Water Management, and Solar Access. Surface Water Management (Jim Larsen, 651-602-1159) The Plan is complete for review based on the requirement for preparation of an updated Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) element. If available at the time the City submits its formal Plan, we request the City provide the complete final LWMP in an Appendix in the Update and a Water Resources summary in the body of the Update (as was done in this preliminary review submission), incorporating any recommended revisions from the review of the draft LWMP. If available at the time the formal Update is submitted, we also request that the City provide to the Council the date the Watershed District approved the LWMP. and the date the City adopted the final LWMP. 390 Robert Street North I Saint Paul, MN 55101-1805 P.651.602.1000 I TTY.651.291.0904 I metrocouncil.org METROPOLITAN An Equal Opportunity Employer COUNCIL Jeremy Barnhart, Orono November 13,2018 Page 2 of 9 Solar Access Protection and Development (Carneran Bailey. 651-602-1212) The Plan is complete and consistent with statutory requirements (Minn. Stat. 473.859. Subd. 2; Section 103B.235) and Council policy regarding planning for the protection and development of access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Per the authority available to the state by way of Minn. Stat. 500.30. Council staff recommend developing a process for recording solar easements as a `solar strategy' to support the City's Community Planning, Natural Resource Management, and Environmental Protection solar access policies. Council staff also suggest enrolling in the following cost-free programs. which are designed to provide planning, technical, and policy assistance to local Minnesota governments. as additional "solar implementation strategies" in your Plan: • U.S. Dept. of Energy's SolSmart Program - Solar Permitting, Zoning. and Development • MN GreenStep Cities Program — Sustainability Best Practices The following sections of the draft Plan are considered incomplete. Changes in the draft Plan are definitely needed before the Plan is submitted to the Council for formal review. Community Wastewater Treatment and Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems (SSTS) (Jim Larsen, 651-602-1159) The Plan is incomplete for SSTS. To be complete for review, the Plan needs to address the following issues: The Plan indicates that there are currently 1029 SSTS in operation in the City. The table of contents on page 1 of Part 4B directs the reader to Appendix C for a map of the locations of all individual SSTS in operation in the City. This map was not included in this preliminary submission and must be included for the Plan to be complete. Council staff requests that the City confirm (either in their response to our preliminary review or in their formal Plan submission) that there are no public or privately-owned Community Wastewater Treatment Systems other than the indicated 1,129 individual SSTS in operation in the City or incorporate a short discussion of any existing operating facilities and a map depicting their location. The formal Plan submission will need to include the Part 4B. Appendix C map depicting the location of all individual SSTS in operation in the City, including highlighting any areas known to have nonconforming systems or systems with known problems. If the City or its planning consultant needs any assistance in the preparation of this map for their formal Plan submission, please contact Steve Hack. MCES GIS System Administrator at 651-602-1469 or Steven.Hack@metc.state.mn.us. Wastewater(Roger Janzig, 651-602-1119) The Plan is incomplete for wastewater. To be complete for review, the Plan needs to address the following items: o Please include an electronic map or maps (GIS shapefiles or equivalent) showing the following information regarding the existing sanitary sewer system: • Lift stations. • Existing connections points to the metropolitan disposal system. Jeremy Barnhart. Orono November 13,2018 Page 3 of 9 • Future connection points for new growth if needed. • Local sewer service districts by connection point. • Intercommunity connections. o Please include a copy of intercommunity service agreements entered into with an adjoining community, including a map of areas covered by the agreement. o Include a table or tables that provide the following local system information for: • Capacity and design flows for existing trunk sewers and lift stations. o Describe the sources, extent. and significance of existing inflow and infiltration in both the municipal and private sewer systems. • Include a breakdown of residential housing stock age within the community into pre- and post-1970 era, and what percentage of pre-1970 era private services have been evaluated for Ill susceptibility and repair. • Include the measured or estimated amount of clearwater flow generated from the public municipal and private sewer systems. • For quantifying I/I, some communities have used the EPA guidance to determine the annual Ill and peak month I/I https://www3.epa.gov/region1/sso/pdfs/Guide4EstimatingInfiltrationlnflow.pdf o Describe the implementation plan for preventing and eliminating excessive inflow and infiltration from entering both the municipal and private sewer systems. • Include the strategy for implementing projects. activities, or programs planned to mitigate excessive I/I from entering the municipal and private sewer systems. • Include a schedule and the related financial mechanisms planned or needed to implement the I/I mitigation strategy. o Include a map or maps (GIS shape files or equivalent) showing the following information: • Location of sub-surface sewage treatment systems. • Location of nonconforming systems or systems with problems Forecasts (Todd Graham, 651-602-1322) The Plan is incomplete for citywide employment forcasts, TAZ allocation of forecasts, and employment-bearing land use intensity. The Plan includes the Metropolitan Council's households and population forecasts, but does not use Metropolitan Council's employment forecast (table 2.2) The City's reason for using a lower employment forecast is not given: the City could request a lower forecast but has not. For completeness, the final Plan submittal must include the Metropolitan Council's employment forecast. Metropolitan Council's forecasts are: Metro olitan Council Forecast: Orono 2020 2030 2040 Population 7437 7691 8100 8800 9500 Households 2826 3037 3200 3560 3900 Employment 1562 1579 1700 1780 1800 Jeremy Barnhart. Orono November 13, 2018 Page 4 of 9 The Metropolitan Council requires that 2020. 2030. and 2040 forecasts be assigned transport analysis zones, or portions of TAZs within the city boundaries. Chapter 4A (Transportation Plan) includes TAZ allocations with a total that is substantially higher than city total forecasts. Summary of the 21 TAZs provided in Orono's Chapter 4A, Appendix A. Population 12837 13490 14430 15270 Households 5186 5690 6220 6700 Employment 4180 4230 4570 4830 Council staff expect that the employment and population are in error due to including Long Lake and portions of other neighboring cities. Council staff advise City staff that in TAZs shared with neighboring cities, totals should include only the portion within Orono. The sum of TAZ allocations should match the city total forecast. The City can consult a preliminary TAZ allocation, split by city, available here: https://gisdata.mn.gov/clafaset/us-mn-state-metc-trans- anl ys-zones-frest-taz-com Finally, the Metropolitan Council requires some measure of employment-bearing land use intensity. Acceptable measurements of intensity Inc,ude Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or building footprint. This was not found in the preliminary Plan Update. and must be included for the final Plan submittal to be considered complete. Based on information included in table 3B-1. the City estimates, from its utility accounts, that Orono in 2016 was already at 2.253 sewer-services households. Council staff suggested that the City request that the sewer-serviced forecast be re-benchmarked to stage more growth in the MUSA portion of Orono: and less growth in the -ural portion. This is recommended, but not required. Land Use (Jake Reilly. 651-602-1822) The Plan is incomplete for Land Use. To be complete the following items must be addressed: Existing Land Use e The Plan provides the Metropolitan Council s 2016 Generalized Land Use map (Map 36- 1) and a reinterpretation of this map with additional categories (Map 36-2, page 170 in the PDF). To be complete. all Land Use maps must be consistent throughout the Plan. Council staff recommend that City staff remove Map 36-1. o It is difficult to distinguish between Island Residential and Undeveloped on the Existing Land Use map (Map 3B-2). Planned Land Use 0 The Plan needs to consistently use allowable density ranges among its descriptive text and tables. • Table 3B-4 identifies several propert es as having a minimum density of eight (8) units per acre. yet the descriptive text and the accompanying proposed land use maps do not contain a guided land use with that minimum density. • Similarly. the text for Urban High Density Residential indicates a density range of 20-25 units per acre. yet Table 3B-5 uses a category called "High- with a minimum density of 10 units per acre. To provide clarity, Council staff Jeremy Barnhart, Orono November 13, 2018 Page 5 of 9 recommend using the complete names of the guided land use categories in Table 3B-5. and breaking down the Area summaries by guided land use. o Table 3B-4 needs to provide some additional clarity. It is unclear what numbers are captured in the 2020-2030 Growth and 2030-2040 Growth columns— it appears that this is housing units. However, there are some rows where the total housing units in these growth columns does not equal the minimum density multiplied by the net acres (the Eisinger row for example). Please clarify these columns. Council staff suggest identifying available acreages in this table by decade rather than total units by decade, particularly for properties whose development may fall in both decades. Alternatively the table could provide both. o Table 3B-4 shows decades 2020-2030 and 2030-2040. Council staff recommend that the columns be adjusted to 2021-2030 and 2031-2040 so as not to double count years. o Map 3B-4 needs to identify the location of Area F that is described in Table 3-48. o The Urban Medium High/Mixed Use Residential description on page 16 of Part 3B needs to include an estimated percentage of the breakdown of residential and non-residential land uses. The narrative indicates that existing residential development cannot convert to commercial development. but that existing commercial development could convert to residential. It is unclear whether the properties identified in Table 3B-4 are intended to entirely develop as residential. or whether some mix of commercial and residential will occur on the variety of properties identified, and if so, what that mix is. To be complete, the allowed uses and allowed densities by use are required to be listed in the table. There is a green hatching on the map that is not defined in the legend (it is likely a wetland overlay). The map legend must include a definition for the hatched area(s). o For clarity. Council staff recommend adding parcel boundaries to the maps in the land use and sewer chapters, o The Development Areas shown on Map 3B-4 in the Appendix (page 174 in the PDF). are described as locations that could accommodate the City's forecasted growth by 2040. Nearly half the area identified is established lake-side sewered estates. Council staff recommend that the City confirm that The Plan identifies that half of the City's forecasted growth will occur on existing developed land that is unswered. If this is not accurate, the Plan must demonstrate that the forecasted growth will occur in the areas of Orono that are served by sewer Table 3B-3: Orono Planned Land Use Summary is missing the total acres for each land use and percent of total acres of reach land use for each decade. Housing (Hilary Lovelace, 651-602-1555) The Plan is incomplete for review. Inconsistent items and advisory comments are also described below. Existing Housing Needs o The number of housing units affordable to households with incomes at or below 30% of AMI, between 31 and 50% of AMI, and between 51 and 80% AMI must be provided. o The number of housing units affordable to each income band are available in the Existing Housing Assessment in the Local Planning Handbook (link: httpsJ/metrocouncil.orq/Handbook/Files/Existing-Housinq- Assessment/02396081 Orono ExistingHsg.aspx) Jeremy Barnhart. Orono November 13, 2018 Page 6 of 9 o To be complete, the narrative analysis of existing housing needs in Housing Needs Identification on page 11 (Part 3C) must connect these identified needs to the data presented in the previous section of the Housing Plan. like the number of housing cost- burdened households with income at or below 30% AMI (148) or the lack of any subsidized affordable housing to the tools available to address them Council staff recommends including these in Table 3B-4along with the changes listed below. Tools to Address Housing Need o The City's share of projected need for additional affordable housing in the 2021-2030 decade is inaccurately described. To be complete. the Plan will need to acknowledge the City's share of projected housing needs in the region, which is 154 units. With regard to adopting affordable housing goals for eligibility in Livable Communities Act programs. 2021-2030 affordable housing goals will be negotiated in the next few years. Language on page 3C, page 12 confuses the two measures and Council staff recommend editing it for clarity. o As noted in the Land Use section above, changes are need in Table 3B-4 to provide additional clarity for land use and housing purposes.. o The 4(d) tax program description on is inaccurate.To be complete the Plan must state that the 4(d) program provides a 40% tax break to property owners of affordable housing that is available when the local government provides some financial assistance to the project. Complete plans will link tools to stated housing needs and describe the circumstances in which they would be considered. o Some widely used tools to address affordable housing needs are not included in the Plan. To be complete. the Plan needs to state if, and if so when and why, it would consider using each tool to address housing needs. The tools that require more context including the use of an Housing and Redevelopment Authority, housing bonds, tax abatement. tax increment financing. and community land trusts. Resources for these opportunities include: o Housing and Redevelopment Authority: (httpsa/metrocouncil.orq/HandbooklFiles/Resources/Fact-Sheet/HOUSING/City- Development-Powers-to-Create-Legal-Entities.aspx) o Housing Bonds: https://metrocouncil.orq/Handbook/Files/Resources/Fact- Sheet/HOUSING/Municipal-Bond-Issuance.asp? c Community Land Trusts are described in the Plan, and it is stated that Orono may evaluate joining the West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust. To be consistent. the Plan must identify how a land trust could be used to meet needs. and Council staff recommend that the City commit to evaluating participation in or creation of a community land trust • A full list of housing tools and resources can be found in the Local Planning Handbook ( https://metrocouncil.or q/Handb oak/Files/Resources/Fact- She et/HOUSING/Recoqnized-Tools-and-Resources.aspx) Advisory Comments o Table 3C-7: Housing Cost Burden Households has numbers that are inconsistent with Table 5 Housing Cost-Burndened Households in 2016 from the Existing Housing Assessment in the Local Planning Handbook. Jeremy Barnhart, Orono November 13, 2018 Page 7 of 9 (https://metrocouncil.org/Handbook/Files/Existing-Housing- Assessment/02396081 Orono_ExistingHsg.aspx) o The description of the Livable Communities Grants is incorrect on Part C3-Page 11. c For more information on how to create a complete and consistent implementation plan, including examples, please refer to the Linking Tools to Needs resource in the Local Planning Handbook (link: https://metrocouncil.org/Handbook/Files/Resources/Fact- Sheet/HOUSING/Linking-Tools-to-Needs.aspx) c Are rental housing units rising in Orono (Part 3C, page 7) due to recent development or are existing homes (largely single family) becoming investor-owned and rented? It isn't necessary to know this, but if the trend is known this would be great information to include in the narrative analysis of existing housing needs. It would be especially interesting to know if the rental SFH stock was valued significantly higher or lower than the average of owner-occupied units. o With respect to a Fair Housing policy, local fair housing policies do not mean that cities should or can manage or administer Fair Housing complaints. Rather, a local fair housing policy ensures that the city is aware of fair housing requirements with regard to housing decisions and provides sufficient resources to educate and refer residents who feel their fair housing rights have been violated (this can be as simple as having links to resources on the City's website). The Metropolitan Council will require a local Fair Housing policy as a requirement to draw upon Livable Communities Act (LCA) awards beginning in 2019, To learn more, please review the following resources: • Creating a Local Fair Housing Policy webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38JY4pNGnZ88,feature=youtu.be • Best Practices: https://metrocouncil.org/Handbook/PIanIt/Files/Webinar-Fair- Housing-Handout2.aspx • Policy Template: https://metrocouncil.org/HandbooklTraining/Webinars.aspx - click on Handout 1 under the Implementing A Local Fair Housing Policy at the bottom of the screen. c In part 3C, Page 6. there is a sentence that begins In today's market, affordable housing and many forms of lifecycle housing are only feasible at urban densities..." This is not completely true. Housing common in rural areas, like manufactured housing or small single family homes offer affordable housing opportunities outside of an urban context. The allocation of affordable housing need is described several times as a "goal" in the Plan. To be clear, the allocation is not a goal; it is a forecast of actual households expected to come to the region at various income levels. Cities must plan for that allocation per the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, but are not responsible for creating those units. On the other hand, the Council negotiates affordable housing goals with cities that participate in Livable Communities Act programs. c Staff suggests that the Plan be consistent in text and the table with when land is expected to develop. Land that develops before 2021 cannot be considered guided land for the allocation of affordable housing need for 2021-2030. A sentence on Part 3C, page 7, indicates that land guided to meet Orono's share of new affordable housing units is available for development immediately. If Orono believes that some of this land will develop before 2021, it would be wise to guide land such that Orono still has enough to provide their share of allocated need. Jeremy Barnhart; Orono November 13, 2018 Page 8 of 9 o The section on NSP Grants is outdated as all NSP dollars are currently being spent down. If Orono is using NSP dollars, it is appropriate to describe how they might be spent down in the near term. o Staff suggests mentioning specific energy assistance programs available in the area and which types of dwellings (single vs multi-family) and tenure (ownership vs rental) the programs are applicable to. Implementation (Jake Reilly. 651-602-1822) The Plan is incomplete for review. In order to be complete. a timeline of when actions will be taken to implement each required element including a schedule for updating of any official controls must be included. Regional Parks and Trails (Jake Reilly, 651-602-1822) The plan is incomplete for Regional Parks and Trails. Table 4E-3 Regional Facilities includes facilities that are not part of the Regional Parks and Trails system. To be complete, the Parks and Trails map in the Appendix to Part 4 must have the correct names of the Regional Parks and Trails facilities and must include the relevant Regional Trail Search Corridors. The Regional Parks. Park Reserves, and Special Recreation Features in Orono are: o Lake Minnetonka Islands Regional Park o Baker Park Reserve o Noerenberg Gardens (a special recreation feature) o Dakota Rail Regional Trail o Lake Independence Regional Trail The map and chapter must also describe and identify the two Regional Trail Search Corridors in the City: o Lake Independence Extension Regional Trail Search Corridor o North-South 1 Regional Trail Search Corridor Those items listed in Table 4E-3 as Regional facilities or regional parks, but not listed above should be moved to a different table or referred to correctly as other facilities, including the Luce Line State Trail, which is not referenced correctly in the text in Part 3B. Page 6 or in Table 4E-3. Regional Facilities. Council staff recommend reviewing the System Statement and/or the Regional Parks Policy Plan for current policy and recommended maps and language. Transit (Steve Mahowald, 612-349-7775) The Plan is incomplete for Transit. To be complete for review, the Plan needs to address the following issues: • The Plan needs to identify existing and planned transit advantages within the City. • The Plan needs to reference to Transit Link dial-a-ride service provided within the City. Jeremy Barnhart Orono November 13, 2018 Page 9 of 9 Transportation/Aviation (Russ Owen, 651-602-1822) The City's Comprehensive Plan is incomplete for Transportation. In order to be complete the Plan needs to address the following issues: There is a text reference to Figure T-5 containing 2040 forecast data in the Table of Contents for the Transportation Section and on Part 4A, Page 11. However, there is no figure T-5 and none of the transportation maps in the document have 2040 forecast data. To be complete the Plan needs to map 2040 forecast data. The Plan must also map current heavy commercial traffic volumes on principal and A-minor arterials within the City.The Plan must identify future rights-of-way that needs to be preserved To be complete, the Plan needs to include the following regarding the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN): • The Plan needs to include a map and description of on-road bicycle facilities within the City. • The Plan needs to include a map and description of the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network within the City including: o Showing all Tier 1 and Tier 2 RBTN corridors and alignments within the City o Showing the relationship of the RBTN to the local bicycle network of off-road trails and on-street bikeways including all existing and planned connections. o Mapping the locations of regional employment clusters and activity centers nodes. as shown on the Metropolitan Council's RBTN map, and other activity centers. o For Tier 1 and/or Tier 2 corridors on the RBTN; describing and mapping the existing or planned bicycle facility alignments that are within established corridors that are proposed to fulfill the intent of the RBTN. To be complete, the Plan also needs to include the identification any local roadway issues or problem areas for goods movement, such as weight-restricted roads or bridges, bridges with insufficient height or width clearances, locations with unprotected road crossings of active rail lines, or intersections with inadequate turning radii. In summary, the submitted draft Plan is missing a number of items and may require revision.

Staff Recommendation: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing and recommend approval of the proposed document. Background Applicants are often confused by the existing language and are unclear when it pertains to their project. Further,staff will discover a CUP is required during the building permit review, stalling that building permit unit a CUP is issued. Simplifying the City Code will clarify the process pertaining to land alteration permits and help streamline the permitting process. The city closely regulates grading and land alteration activities for several reasons, including: • To manage stormwater discharge, ensuring drainage does not negatively impact neighboring properties. • Manage hauling traffic and noise. • Preventing erosion issues into adjacent properties,wetlands, lakes, and road. Within these goals,staff proposes regulations that address these situations: • Mining • Land Alteration not associated with a building permit • Land Alteration of more than 50 CY in the Lake Yard (excluding rip rap),with or without a building permit • Land Alteration of more than 500 CY within the Shoreland Overlay District, excluding activity directly related to building permit. • Grading and Land alteration that serves to artificially raises the principal structure from existing grade, i.e. refine Engineered grade. • Soil export not associated with a building permit Staff also proposes to reduce or eliminate regulations that do not serve stated goals. Summary of Changes: • Allowing some common land alteration permits to be administratively reviewed to expedite projects and still ensure the proposed grading meets city standards. • No longer classifying land alterations as a Conditional Use Permit, but processing them as an Interim Use Permit,to allow a sunset date for these activities. • Edit and clarify the City Code to clarify land alteration standards and conditions FILE#LA18-000084 November 19,2018 Page 2 of 2 • 78-1126 (3) requires a CUP for the cumulative placement of more than 1,000 cubic yards of fill when the fill is not being used to elevate the structure in accordance the Flood fringe permitted uses. Per the suggested draft ordinance, the cumulative import/export of material over 500 cubic yards of material trigger an IUP.

Staff Recommendation: Planning Commission should hold a public hearing and give direction to staff primarily regarding goals and objectives of the regulation. Background Applicants are often confused by the existing language and are unclear when it pertains to their project. Further,staff will discover a CUP is required during the building permit review, stalling that building permit unit a CUP is issued. Simplifying the City Code will clarify the process pertaining to land alteration permits and help streamline the permitting process. Regulations for Grading and Land Alteration can be found in sections (Section 78-966 and 78- 1286, attached as exhibit A. Other communities codes excerpts are provided as Exhibits B and C. The city closely regulates grading and land alteration activity's for several reasons, including • To manage stormwater discharge, ensuring drainage does not negatively impact neighboring properties. • Manage hauling traffic and noise • Preventing erosion issues into adjacent properties,wetlands, lakes, and road. Within these goals,staffs proposes regulations that address these situations • Mining • Land Alteration not associated with a building permit • Land Alteration of more than 50 CY in the Lake Yard (excluding rip rap),with or without a building permit • Land Alteration of more than 500 CY within the Shoreland Overlay District, excluding activity directly related to building permit. • Grading and Land alteration that serves to artificially raises the principal structure over X (to be defined)feet from existing grade, i.e. refine Engineered grade. • Soil export not associated with a building permit • Reduce or eliminate regulations that do not serve stated goals. Analysis Recent Land Alteration CUPs have drawn minimal comment and discussion with the Planning Commission and City Council,suggesting that if the goals can be addressed through the permitting process,the time and expense of a public review process could be avoided. Public Comments To date, no public comments have been received. LA18-000084 October 15,2018 Page 2 of 2 Items to Consider: • Has the Commission identified additional goals to be achieved? • Has the Commission identified other situations that should be addressed Planning Commission options for consideration Discuss the scope of land alteration permits and provide direction for staff to create proposed language. Based on the discussion, staff will present an ordinance for review at the November Planning Commission meeting. List of Exhibits Exhibit A.

Purpose. This application requires two motions: a. Waive Planning Commission review(requires unanimous approval) b. Consider a Conditional Use Permit to allow import of material in excess of 500 cubic yards in conjunction with the construction of a new home. 2. MN§15.99 Application Deadline. The application was received and considered complete on August 15,2018.Therefore the 60-Day review period expires on October 14,2018. 3. Background. The owner's architect and builder worked with planning staff to develop plans for the new home at 225 Old Crystal Bay Road South.The plans were designed to conform to all of the applicable zoning requirements. The building permit application was submitted and after review was shown to meet all setbacks, height,hardcover, and other lot requirements for the RR- 1B district. The builder's plan during pre-application discussions identified the plan to import fill to the site specifically so as to review building height with staff. However the plans for discussion did not call out the quantity of fill;nor did the City's review quantify or specifically identify the import as excessive. There will be 285 cubic yards cut out of the foundation excavation with a total of 2,399 cubic yards of fill needed. The net import will be 2,114 cubic yards,which exceeds what is customary for a new building. During discussions with the builder, staff became aware of the quantities and the need for the conditional use permit. The property is approximately 1.8 acres in area and the grading of the site does not appear to result in a home which would be out of character in the neighborhood or create drainage concerns. 4. Planning Commission Process—Request Waiver The Planning Commission has not reviewed this application. The need for the conditional use permit to address 2,114 cubic yards of material brought to the site was not realized until the builder submitted for building permit. Due to timing of the discovery of the grading CUP, and the minimal impact to the surrounding neighborhood, the applicant is requesting that the City Council hold the public hearing. The City Council may waive reference of a conditional use permit application to the Planning Commission for the public hearing according to City Code 78-912 (Exhibit I).A unanimous vote is required in order to waive the Planning Commission's review. The legal notice was published to allow for a public hearing by the City Council at the September 10t meeting. If the Council votes to waive the Planning Commission's review, and holds the public hearing; staff has prepared an approval resolution for the conditional use permit for consideration. 5. Public Comment. To date,no comments from the public were received regarding this application. 6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends approval. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED The action requested for this application is as follows: Prepared By:1YIGG Reviewed By:J.Barnhart Approved By:.1V AGENDA ITEM I. The Council should first consider a motion to waive the Planning Commission's public hearing and hold the public hearing at the September 10t meeting. 2. Following an affirmative vote to hold the public hearing,the Council should open the public hearing and receive comments. 3. Finally,the Council should consider a motion to adopt or amend the approval resolution as drafted regarding the CUP. Exhibits Exhibit A. Draft Resolution Exhibit B. Application Summary Exhibit C.

This application was reviewed as Zoning File #LA18-000069. The analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from the ONp CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 1 NO. c fq' SHov-ti above mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings are hereby incorporated by reference. 2. The Property is located in the RR-1B Rural Residential Zoning District. 3. The Property contains 1.77 acres in area and has a defined lot width of approximately 295 feet. 4. Applicant has applied for a conditional use permit for grading 5. In considering this application for a conditional use permit, the Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed conditional use permit upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in the surrounding area. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS: The City Council may grant a conditional use permit as it was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the application and the evidence submitted, the city finds that the proposed use at the Property is or will be: 1. Consistent with the community management plan; The intent for the proposed grading is residential in nature, is consistent with the permitted uses for the Property, and is compliant with the zoning code and comprehensive plan. 2. Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; The proposed grading is residential in nature which is consistent with the permitted uses for the Property. 3.

The grading of the Property will be in conformance with the neighborhood. Once completed, the grading will have no impact on surrounding lands. The grades, once vegetated and landscaped should not have an adverse impact on the neighborhood. 7. Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; The proposed grades will help to facilitate storm water runoff down property lines, and not toward adjacent properties as is the current condition. The proposed grades should not result in a negative impact to neighboring properties. 8. Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; The Applicant is proposing to elevate the land to accommodate a walk out which is not out of character for the neighborhood. It is likely adjacent properties will not be impacted. The site grading will be reviewed and monitored closely by the City's engineer to assure that all existing drainage patterns are maintained and adjacent properties are not adversely impacted. 9. Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; This standard requires that the proposed grading and improvements must not substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the properties in the area or have an adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses. The result of the proposed grading will not change the intended residential use of the Property so there should be no change in the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties resulting from the export of fill materials. However, activity of exporting approximately 2,100 cubic yards of fill and active grading of the Property can have a temporary adverse impact on neighbors. The applicant is proposing to bring the material in to the site slowly to allow for settling. The grading work on the Property as well as the forthcoming construction of the proposed home could result in additional noise, dust, vibration and traffic on the haul routes and immediate neighbors. To the degree possible, negative impacts should be limited and mitigated. 10. Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; The finished grade will be vegetated and landscaped; it should blend into the Property and the neighboring properties. The project, once completed, should not result in undesirable views requiring mitigation. 3 ONp CITY OF ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL N1 NO. � {wrEsHOQt 11.

The noise resulting from the trucks hauling and equipment moving the material in and around the site should be minimized to the extent possible. The grading and construction project will be monitored by the City Engineer and planning staff so as to minimize nuisances during the project. 13. Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; This standard requires that the project be designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact. The long term effect of the project should result in minimal environmental impacts. The project will be monitored by the City, to prevent erosion from the site. 14.
