ers
The question 1 receive quite a bit is how did we do in 2009. I feel the Long Lake Fire
Department did an excellent job in 2009. Just in reviewing our goals that we had for the 3. PCep�anS& I11SpeCtlOriS
year,we completed die majonry of them. There were one or two that we are still working 4. Tools& Equip List for
on today. We are currendy working on Officer Training and SOPs which were 2 goals
from las[year. The Officers and Coordina[ors are currently going to a Fire Command class E11$lt]2S
taught by Greg Hayes. He is a nationally reco�iized insvucror that has taught at FDIC $. FIIIiS�l MelllOC11�
2010 will be another year of change for the Department but for the better. Look for the 6. Create Special Events
changes that will be coming. POS1t10I]

review our options.

1. Pumps Class& Driver
Budyet Review for YTD Training
We are still working with year end estimates for 2009 budget but it appears 2• �ff C0I'TI'1lning bOth
that we were under budgeL I don't think we should ever do that again. lt inside and outside the
does look good because this is the first year since Terry Post came here that Departmental Training
the Department was under budget but I feel that we should be right at or a 3. More Training with our
li[de over budget at year end. We did buy much needed equipment in De-
cember and some of it has arrived and some is still in transit. MutuB� f�ld p1t't11e1'S

02/01 -Training by nationally acclaimed Fire Chief Rick Lasky of Lewisville,TX,in
02/08-Truck Checks&Meeting cooperation with the MSFDA Region 1 l.
02/10-Long Lake Chamber Meet-
ing Station 1 I 100 hours Although Chief Lasky spoke for 8 hours,you thought you where there
02/I 1 -Hennepin County Fire for only a couple. His message is that good.A few of topics Chief

02/15-EMT&First Responder the fire service. .►ust to name a few.
Training at 1800 hours After hearing his message I want to encourage you to ask yourself: Do
02/22-EMT&First Responder you take Pride and Ownership in the LLFD?If not,why?Do you re-
Training at 1800 hours member how you felt when you first joined the department? 1 do. If
02/22-Metro Chiet s Meeting at not,try to discover that feeling again You might be surprised how easy
Jax Cafe it is.
Pride in the department,what is it and do you have it? Ownership,
what does it truly mean? One example:knowing your equipment and
a how it works.Do you know the history of the LLFU?How many tire
_ houses have we had and where have they been located?
I strongly encourage all of you to go see Chief Lasky next time he

Yet another firefighter has died because he didn't use his seatbelt. Please make it click! A group
of us went to see Chief Rick Lasky on August 28th. I for one,took a lot from this training. Chief
Lasky spoke about managing change, leadership and fire house tradition. If you get the chance to
� see him speak, [ would recommend it.
As always,there are a bunch of events posted at both fire houses. Please take a minute on the
next call to look at them. There are many to choose from. Any help you can give would be
great!
Big Base was a huge success! It was great to see all the past and present members. It was great to
talk to the guy who had badge number l, Dean Nielson. If you see a retired member,go talk to
him or her. They have great stories about Long Lake Fire Department. Great job to all that that
made this event happen. Mmmmm,pig roast.
Lieutenant 12 2010 Social Goals '
Medical calls can sometimes be a complex and difficult situation that can � More Community ln-
turn on you as a responder in a second. It is important to understand what
our role is in the overall picture of the situation and what are capabilities volvement and publlC
are. Understanding that we are just one piece of the overall picture is eduCatlon
important to keep in perspective as well. 2, Mot'e soClal events as a
Department i.e. Ban-
I was reading in Consumer Reports the other day on how many medical quet, PiCl1iC, BBQ...
conditions are created and/or are affected by the person's perspective of
the situation. The number was somewhere in the 30-40%of overall con-
ditions. Where Pm going with this is sometimes when we respond to a
call,the best thing we can do is insure the patients that they are in the best
of hands and that everything is Iooking good and going well. When we �
are nervous,anxious,and unorganized,the paticnt's mental status of the
situation will reflect the environment. . ., �,
To sum it up,be confident in your abilities and focus on the patient. �
Sometimes us�ust bemg there,taking vitals and discussmg the situation � �
with them and the family is the best thing. ��/ � ��

PRESS RELEASE
CITY OF ORONO MARCH 24, 2010
Notice of Open House and Public Hearinq
City of Orono 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan
Wednesday April 7, 2010 at the Freshwater Center, 2500 Shadywood Road
Open House 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Presentation and Public Hearing 7:00 p.m.
The City of Orono 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan (also known as the Community Management
Plan or"CMP") is in its final stages of completion. Updated every 10 years, this document is the
City's guidebook for all land use decisions, and it details the community's intent for all facets of
City functions and facilities. The CMP includes chapters regarding Community Philosophy;
Parks, Trails and Open Space; Transportation; Sewer and Water Systems; Environmental
Protection; Housing; Land Use; and Public Services. While the 2010-2030 CMP is essentially a
re-affirmation of Orono's long-standing philosophy of land use policies for preserving Lake
Minnetonka and the City's natural environment, there are minor changes proposed for a small
number of properties.
In the Navarre area, a number of commercially zoned properties abutting Shadywood Road, and
additional commercial and residential properties abutting Shoreline Drive. are proposed to be re-
guided for "Mixed Use". The Mixed Use designation would allow for the possibility of higher
density multi-family residential developmen� such as senior assisted living, townhomes,
condominiums or apartment. In northern Orono, a few selected residential properties abutting
new Highway 12 have also been identified for re-guiding to allow increased residential density.
An Open House and Public Hearing have been scheduled for April 7 to allow interested citizens
an opportunity to review and comment on Orono's plans for the next two decades. If you have
any questions, feel free to contact Asst. City Administrator Mike Gaffron at 952-249-4600
(mgaffron(a�ci.orono.mn.us) or view the draft Comprehensive Plan on the Orono website at
www.ci.orono.mn.us.

Notice of Open House and Public Hearinq
City of Orono 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan
Wednesday April 7, 2010 at the Freshwater Center, 2500 Shadywood Road
Open House 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Presentation and Public Hearing 7:00 p.m.
Dear Orono Property Owner,
The City of Orono 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan (also known as the Community
Management Plan or "CMP") is in its final stages of completion. Updated every 10 years, this
document is the City's guidebook for all land use decisions, and it details the community's intent
for all facets of City functions and facilities. The CMP includes chapters regarding Community
Philosophy; Parks, Trails and Open Space; Transportation; Sewer and Water Systems;
Environmental Protection; Housing; Land Use; and Public Services. While the 2010-2030 CMP
is essentially a re-affirmation of Orono's long-standing philosophy of land use policies for
preserving Lake Minnetonka and our natural environment, there are minor changes proposed
for a small number of properties.
You are receiving this individual notice because your property is proposed to be re-guided for
higher density residential uses, or is within 350' of such a property. This re-guiding is in
response to Metropolitan Council requirements for providing suitable areas in each community
for workforce and lifecycle housing options.
In the Navarre area, a number of commercially zoned properties abutting Shadywood Road,
and additional commercial and residential properties abutting Shoreline Drive, are proposed to
be re-guided as "Mixed Use". The Mixed Use designation would allow for the possibility of
higher density multi-family residential development such as senior assisted living, townhomes,
condominiums or apartment buildings. Actual development of such uses on any given property
would not occur until a developer applies for and successfully completes a formal rezoning
process during which there would be ample opportunities for public input. Under the Mixed Use
designation, properties currently guided & zoned for residential use are not intended to be
converted to commercial property, but some 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 through a
future, separate public hearing process.
In northern Orono, a few selected residential properties abutting new Highway 12 have also
been identified for re-guiding to allow increased residential density. The attached maps indicate
the properties in Navarre and along Highway 12 that are proposed to be re-guided.
We encourage you to attend the Open House and Public Hearing to review what Orono has
planned for the next two decades. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Asst. City
Administrator Mike Gaffron at 952-249-4622 (mgaffron@ci.orono.mn.us).

• CMP Part 3B. Land L"se Plan ,(/t.�
lirban 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, on the other hand, have limited
density and have environmental restraints prohibiting urban density
encroachments. The existing rural densities do not require extensive public
services and, in fact, could not economically support an urban service level.
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 surroundinQ neighborhoods. Economic development will likely be limited to
neighbarhood services in the existing Na��arre Area, and greater utilization of the
industrial and commercial potential near Long Lake. While a significant amount
of higher density housing will be developed to accommodate a wider ranae of
affordability and lifecycle housing needs, overall urban density will remain
relatively low (development in this planning period will ran�e from 0.5 to 1� units
per acre) because of the ecoloQical considerations of proximity to Lake
Minnetonka. y
The rural area is expected to have continued residential development at a slo��,
steady pace. Non-residential development will likely be limited to open space
recreation. With the lar�e percentaae of wetlands, steep slopes and public open
space, 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 � dry buildable acres. When wetlands, roads, steep
slopes and public open space are factored in, nearly 80% of the City's land will be
developed at densities averaaing 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 net developed density will be not more than 1 unit per 2 acres of
dry-buildable land (0.� units per acre), this being determined on a detailed review
of individual site conditions.
Over time, changes in national priorities, population trends, metropolitan
plans and metropolitan facilities have continued to reinforce the planning
and de��elopment objectives of Orono. The 19�0's and 1960's were years of
great expansion and reliance upon the powers of science and industry to solve all
problems. Population b aphs showed gro��th projections running off the paper.
Suburbs boomed while core cities were fightin� for their very survival. The
1970's brouQht a ne�v environmental a��areness and an understandinQ that nature,
not science was the key to our planet's survival. This simply cauQht up to Orono's
environmental protection philosophy that has driven development of the City
since the 19�0's.
Cit�- of Orono Communih-Management Plan 2008-2030 Paae 3B-10
C:��TP Part 3B. Land lise Plan •
The Twin Cities metro area continues to e�pand both in population and in
territory covered. Suburban developments continue to appear at the urban-rural
frin�es and have expanded past the Metropolitan Council's jurisdictional limits
intoysunoundina counties and even into Wisconsin. Pressures have mounted to
control this "urban sprawl", focused at redevelopment of the core cities, greater
use of hi�her density infill development in the inner ring suburbs, and b eater
density of new development at the developing fringe. Hand-in-hand with the
attempts to curb urban sprawl have been pressures (and a real need) to provide
new housing to meet the needs of a population that is widely di��erse in aae
ranges, lifestyles, and income levels. �
Orono's ultimate population projections have been droppin� from estimates of
37,000 made in 1970, to 23,000 in 1972, to 14,000 in 1974, to 11,000 in 1979.
Population trends durinQ the last 30 years and a careful analysis of development
capabilities of remaining land as compared t rono's urrent zoning and land use
plan, suggest an ultimate population of aro nd 9,800. his fiQure is very close to
Orono's current (2008) estimated populatio , 0. This downward trend over
the last 3 decades is clearly a result of Orono's 197� city-wide rezoning to lower
residential densities, reactinb to environmental concerns regardin� protecting the
water quality of Lake Minnetonka and other Orono lakes.
The projected population is in line �vith and 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).

CMP Part 3B. Land tise Plan
ReQional transportation plans have been revised since the 1970's to accommodate
the increased traffic levels on HiQhway 12 throu�h Orono and LonQ Lake. A new
2-lane limited access `through' route paralleling Hiahway 12 from Orono's
eastern border to the Co. Rd. 6 intersection was completed and opened to traffic in
December 2008, dramatically decreasin�the traffic levels on Old Highwav 12 and
providina a more attractive alternative to County Road 1� for commuters from
Mound, Minnetrista and points west. Environmental and social pressures have
permanently eliminated any plans for expansion of County Road 1� along the
lakeshore. Orono wi11 continue to promote and implement strategies to reroute
traffic away from the lakeshore areas.
ReQional sewer sezvice facilities plans were revised three decades a�o in response
to Orono's plans for low-density development. Oi-iginal plans called for sewering
all of Orono with capacity for 37,000 people. But the final Orono-Long Lake
Interceptor was relocated and 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 desicned to pro��ide only limited capacity for Orono.
These capacity limitations are consistent �vith Orono's environmental concerns for
the rural area and with MCES regional concerns includina the limited design
capacity and massive environmental discharge problems associated with the
central sewage collection and treatment systems.
Orono's commercial and economic development has al��ay�s been centered in
the historic to�i�n centers. The shopping, employment, education and social
needs of Orono residents have been more than amply met by commercial facilities
and shoppinQ centers located in Na��an-e and in sun-oundina communities. Rural
and urban residents alike utilize these facilities and in fact, the commercial ��itality
of the neiQhboring cities relies in pai-t upon the reQional seivice area that includes
all of Orono. Promotion of duplicate facilities in Orono would tend to be
uneconomic and counterproductive.
Orono's housing plan is intended to accoinmodate all planned population
gro«�th in a wide variety of h ' g opportunities. The forecast population
� increase of ?.000 person in the n t twenty ye�r anslates into a housing
"demand" of approxima ely 800 n dwellin` nits ��he decreasinb household
sizes are taken into ac unt. is averaae of 40 ne � dwellin�s per year is
consistent with or sliahtly below Orono's ra of a al new residence building
peimit issuance durina the past two decades. ased on the Land Use Plan,
approximately two-thirds of these new units are expected to develop in the urban
area.
New urban housing will be in a �•ariety of forn�s including single family homes on
scattered vacant lots throughout the sewered area; planned residential
developments including mixed single family and attached townhome dwelling
units on �acant sewered parcels in the Navarre area and on larger parcels
Cit�� of Orono Communit�� �Ianagement Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-12
CNTP Part 3B. Land L"�se Plan `
desi�nated for urban development in the Hiahway 12/Lon� Lake area; hiaher
' density residential alon� the Hiahway 12 corridor; and hiaher density residential
in the form of Mixed Use Development in the 1�Tavarre Commercial District.
Other new units will be in the form of replacement or conversion of existin�
seasonal or substandard dwellinQs especially alon� the lakeshore.
Most new rural housin� 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 brouQht 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 respectively by urban and rural
neiahborhoods. Municipal sewer capacity is available for projected urban
development within the existing urban service area, but there is insufficient
capacity for any inajor expansion of the existing urban area to densities
commensurate with Metropolitan Council goals of 3.0 units per acre for all new
sewered development. All new rural non-Shoreland development is intended to be
permanently self-sufficient in terms of on-site sewage treatment. In the event that
existing rural neighborhoods outside the 2008-2030 MUSA are identified as
havin� significant on-site system failures with no on-site alternatives for sewaQe
treatment, requests for extension of municipal sewer will be considered only if the
affected residents are willin� to pay all costs associated with such service, under
the condition that rural densities ��ill not be compromised and rezonina to urban
densities will not occur, and subject to approval by the Metropolitan Council
when required.
Orono's transportation plan is tailored to the different needs of urban and
rural neighborhoods. Most roads within Orono directly service the abutting
properties. The intended exceptions are the Old Hi�hway 12 con-idor fiom Brown
Road to Old Crystal Bay Road, and the ne�� Hiahway 12 Bypass �rhich is a
limited-access arterial be�innina east of the City and extending west to County
Road 6 with no interchan�es or local access. 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. These roads
have been desi�nated "scenic park�vays" to connote their aesthetic qualities and
lack of hiQh speed, through traffic potential.
The urban areas are pro��ided with a typical network of city streets connecting
residential and shopping areas with each other. The rural area is �-idded-off with
a core system of publicly maintained collector and minor arterial streets running
at regular intervals. Within this orid, most rural homes are located on
neighborhood owned and maintained private roads servinQ fi•om three to ten

• CMP Part 3B. Land lise Plan
18. No land will be developed unless its location and characteristics are
suitable for the proposed use in accordance with this plan. Land to be
developed must be of such size, character and location that it can be safely
used for the intended purpose without danger to health, without peril from
fire, flood or other occurrence and without undue impact upon
neighboring properties.
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 sewa�e 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.
tiRBAI�' LAND USE POLICIES
1. The majorit� of Orono's urban area w�ill be reserved for residential
land use. Orono's urban residential neighborhoods will provide the
opportunity for a variety of housina types and price ran�es. Many urban
residences will be � �mately associate e shoreline and will be
subject ensity restrictions because of sensiti environmental
con tions. Medium and Hi�h Density multi-family resid tial uses will
be limite � � ansportation services,
but will not be appropriate ��ithin 1,000 feet of the shoreline of Lake
Minnetonka except when in close proximity fo the Navarre commercial
area abuttin� CR 1� or CR 19.
2. Limited commercial areas ���ill be pro��ided for neighborhood service
businesses. The primary function of Orono's commercial areas ��ill be to
provide those retail, commercial and service businesses which are directly
necessary to seive Orono's urban and rural residents. Commercial
development will be limited to areas where full urban seivices, 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 ser��ing 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 w�ill be provided for public access and
limited lake-user services. Orono's residents and other lake users require
lake access, fishin� supplies, boat sernice and boat repair facilities which
Cit�� of Orono Communit�•1�lanaaement Plan 2008-2030 Paae 3B-19
CVIP Part 3B. Land Use Plan •
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, includin�
municipal sanitary sewer and adequate transportation are available. y
4. The City will encourage private unification and coordination of the
existing commercial areas. Unplanned strip commercial developments
w�ill be discouraged. Coordinated projects desi{Jned to aesthetically
enhance; unify and identify the business areas will be encouraQed.
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 entirely
consistent with Long Lake's neighboring industrial development.
6. Commercial and industrial development will not be permitted to
adversely affect neighboring residential propert�. 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. V�'herever possible, natural land forms or buffers will be
required between different land uses.
7. Public urban services must be a��ailable for all future commercial,
industrial and urban-i-esidential development. Commercial, industrial
and urban-density residential uses ��ill be pennitted only where rnunicipal
sanitary sewer, adequate transportation, police and fire protection sen�ices
are available. In addition, commercial, indush-ial and multi-farnily
residential development wi11 be permitted only where a municipal water
system is available for adequate water supply and fire protection.
8. lirban development will utiliae the capacit�� of eaisting public
facili�ies. New land uses and development will be allowed to infill
existing vacant properties within the urban service area consistent with
environmental limitations and ��ith the e�isting or planned capacities of
water, sewer, drainage transportation and recreational facilities. Ne���
development �vill not be permitted to overburden these services af the
expense of the e�isting users. New urban development will not be
permitted if it requires additional unplanned local or re�ional facilities
capacity. �
9. The existing ui•ban area will not be expa . Orono's Community
ManaQement Plan is not a staged aro��th p n. Except in limited cases, as
Cit�� of Orono Couimunity Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-20
� CMP Part 3B. Land lise Plan
defined by this plan, the ban service area will not be expanded into the
defined rural area and, rban services and facilities will not be extended
� o the rural a for purposes of fostering or allowing increased
development density in those areas.
10. The design and densitv of urban development will be controlled 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 buildin� heights will be desi�ned
to assure protection of these �•alues for all urban residents.
ll. A significant amount of natural woodlands and open space will be
retained on each property. Retention of the natural environment
requires careful sitina and preservation of trees and open space on each
urban property.
12. Land use standards will limit the impact of urban encroachment on
Lake Minnetonka. Minimum lot width will space out docks ancl
structural encroachments while increasing areas of natural veQetation.
Lake use regulations promulgated by the Lake Minnetonka Conservation
District and supplemented with City rebulations if necessary will limit the
number of boats per property and the amount of public waters a�-ailable
for pri��ate docking and boat storage.
13. 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 heiQht. Minimum areen belts will be provided ��ith
prohibitions against clearcutting or excessive thinning of vegetation.
Natural veRetation will be preserved on slopes and retainina wa11s will be
discoura�ed except �hen absolutely necessary to prevent erosion, in
which case they will be screened with natural ��egetation.
RliRAL LAND tiSE POLICI ES
1. Orono's rural area will be resei-ved for permanent low-density
i-esidential land use. Orono's rolling rural area is not suitable for
commercial agriculture. Likewise, the delicate balance of stornl water
nutrient loadiny 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 peinZitted
in the rural area.
City of Orono Communit��Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-21
CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan -
2. Orono's rural area provides the opportunity for quasi- agricultural
land uses. Greenhouses, orchards, truck 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.
3. Rural densit,y is limited b�- natural conditions. Development of rural
Orono is naturally limited by a number of conditions including extensive
wetlands, steep slopes and areas of high water table, which factors
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.
4. The existing t-ural area «�ill not be urban' . r��ornmun'r
Mana�eir�rif-P"an is no staged growth an. Except in limited cases as
� identified in this plan, the rban area will ded into the
area. n services will not be extended into the rural area or
across open, rural lands. Rural land uses and rural land use density will be
maintained at a level to ensure that private on-site sewer systems will
operate satisfactorily and that rural wetlands and draina�eways will not be
overloaded with storm water nutrient pollution.
�. Rural land uses and densities do not require urban services. Urban
sei�ices are not compatible with i-ural 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.
6. Ruc•al Iand uses do not i-equire municipal sewer service. Orono's soil,
topo�-aphy and low-density rural land use pro��ide the ingredients
necessary to assure safe, adequate, pet7nanent on-site sewage treatment
and waste water disposal without hazard to ground water, surface water or
the public health. Extension of sewer seivice to properties in the rural
area will be avoided, except when necessary to protect the public health,
or to avoid or eliminate negative impacts to surface and groundwaters.
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 ne�ative impacts on lake ��ater quality, will
not result in a reclassification of those neighborhoods fiom Rural to
Urban. Expansion of the sewer system into the Rural Area will not result
in the provision of additional urban sen�ices, nor will it result in changes
to allowed developinent densities.

URBAN LAND USE
URBAN RESIDENTIAL LAND USE
Urban residential development will retain the basic single family character of the
community but will also provide for a wider range of housing types at generally
low densities consistent with available services, the natural amenities of the land,
and environmental protection. Planning devices such as clustering will permit a
limited amount of multiple dwellings such as patio homes, townhouses and
garden apartments to be located near commercial areas within the overall planned
density of the neighborhood.
Urban residential development requires municipal sanitary sewer, an adequate
transportation system, neighborhood recreational facilities and other typical urban
services. The location of urban residential uses depends to a substantial degree on
the environmental impact on Lake Minnetonka and the protection of the natural
wetlands system for storm water filtration and purification.
All urban residential land within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka will require
special environmental restrictions and lower land use densities in order to assure
shoreline protection and minimal direct storm water runoff pollution.
��� LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - 0.5 to 2 LTNITS PER ACRE
� This is the typical urban residential density developed and planried for areas
which are within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka and which have particular
environmental impact on the lake.
LOW-MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - 2 to 3 LTNITS -PER ACRE �
This is the typical land use density of the historic development in Navarre and
the older residential neighborhoods. Certain other residential areas are planned
for this density where services are available beyond 1,000 feet from the
lakeshore. Municipal water is generally provided to these districts for supply �
( and fire protection, in addition to the necessary sewer service. �
f
s
MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - 3 to 7 UNITS PER ACRE �
These densities are provided for along Highway 12 as shown on the Land Use ;
Plan. Development at these densities will be limited to properties where `
special conditions such as abutting land use, as well as proximity to urban �
utilities and services, would make the parcel appropriate for housing clusters :
or multi-family development. Since the areas identified for this higher density E
development are to some extent limited by environmental constraints, each (
such development must be analyzed and reviewed on an individual basis. The R
properties identified for residential development at densities of 3-7 units per
acre include properties guide-planned for such use as a result of
Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2 in 1988, as well as properties

City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-31
CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan
�0, heretofore planned for single family development at rural densities. All
identified properties are located relatively high in the Lake Minnetonka
� watershed, allowing ample opportunity for effective stormwater rnanagement.
: MEDIUM-HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL - 7 to 10 LTNITS PER ACRE
This higher density will be reserved for properties deemed by the City Council
to be so uniquely si�uated that residential development at a density exceeding
7 units per acre will have no negative impacts on the 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.
Sites proposed for this density will be analyzed and reviewed on an individual
basis. Properties proposed for this density shall be outside the Shoreland
� Overlay District. The initial areas targeted for inclusion into this land use
� designation are along Highway 12, near the more intense commercial and
industrial land uses west of Long Lake.
HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL— 10 to 15 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.
MIXED USE—6 to 15 UNITS PER ACRE
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, as shown on Map 3B-6b.
This Mixed Use designation is intended to allow for the possibility of higher
density multi-family residential development such as senior 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.
Properties identified for urban densities of 3-7 units per acre or 7-15 units per
� acre, along Highway 12, are detailed in the following tables and maps� which
identify required development parameters.

Additional Development Factors,Parcel Group 2
This parcel group has a number of factors which make it unattractive for 2-acre rural residential development as
currently zoned, including:
- Location between two hi�hway corridors is not conducive to rural development.
- Location across from Industrial Park is not conducive to rural development.
- East portion abuts one of the busiest intersections in Orono.
- Much of site is poorly suited for development with septic systems due to soils and topography.
Municipal sewer and water are relatively available as compared to most other areas of the City. Group 2 has direct
access to arterial and collector road system, and is relatively near urban services as compared to most other areas of
the City. Furthermore,the Group is separated from existing rural nei�hborhoods by the Orono Schools, by existing
wetlands,by the existing railroad and freeway corridor. Because of these separations, development at hi�her
densities will have minimal impact on adjacent or nearby rural character neighborhoods.
Development of this Group will be required to adhere to the principles of Conservation Design.

Background,Site Characteristics
Nature of Surroundina Propertv. Residential property to the west and east of Parcel Group 5 (PGS) is guided and
zoned for single family residentia] use at a density of 1 unit per 2 acres. The property west across the Highway 12
corridor has been developed with low-density SFR use for many years. The property directly across Wayzata
Boulevard to the east contains a church building that has undergone a variety of tenants, and is currently serving as a
Montessori school (being reguided to institutional use). The cemetery property to the immediate south in the city of
Wayzata is �uided for institutional uses and is zoned for Low Density ResidentiaL Lots to the north of the Luce
Line in the city of Long Lake are guided for sin�le family uses (R-I) with a minimum lot area of 10,000 s.f. and 75'
width, i.e. SFR at 4 units per acre. However, the existing sin�le family lots abutting the north side of the Luce Line
in this area range from 1/4 acre to 1-2/3 acres in area.
Current Zonin�and Land Use Plan Status. PG-5 is zoned RR-1 B Sinale Family Rural Residential, which allows the
development of single family homes at a density of 1 unit per 2 dry buildable acres, and is within the defined Rural
Area of Orono as shown on CMP Map 3B-2. PG5 was mapped and guided for Rural Residential Use in the 2000-
2020 Land Use Plan. PG-5 was re-guided in 2007 to allow for residei�tial development at a density of 1.43 units per
acre to allow development of 9 detached dwellin�s on the site. Because that project did not proceed, the rezoning to
RPUD did not take effect.
MUSA. Municipal Utilities Status. The property was added to the MUSA in 1987. Municipa] sewer and water are
potentially available to the site from the City of Wayzata via a proposed extension of the Wayzata systems to serve
the nearby Myrtlewood neighborhood.
Basis for Amendment. The 2000-2020 CMP indicates that to more closely approach the development density goals
established by Metropolitan Council, Orono has defined certain areas of the City where conversion from planned
Rural densities to planned Urban densities is appropriate. These are areas where provision of urban services can be
efficient, cost-effective, and have the least ne�ative impacts on the City's environmental goals and on surrounding
development. In defining where urban areas should be located, the City considers proximity to existing hibher
density development; proximity to existin� municipal sewer lines with available capaciry; proximiry to existing
urban services; adjacency to eaisting transportation corridors; and ]ocation high in the watershed to limit stormwater
impacts.
Parcel Group 5 was not identified for change from Rural to Urban in the 2000-2020 CMP. Further,this 2008-2030
CMP establishes a number of policies which generally do not support the conversion of Rura] land to Urban status.
However, certain factors that suggest such a change is appropriate for PGS include:
l. The property is essentially an"orphan", with relatively little relationship to the development that surrounds it,i.e.
it is surrounded on three sides by transportation corridors (Old 12, New 12, Luce Line Trail); it is
topographically disconnected from the primarily single family residential uses to the north; and it abuts a
cemetery on the south. This lack of connectivity to surrounding residential areas makes use of the site for a
"family friendly"neighborhood unattractive and poorly inarketable at best.
2. The potential for non-residential institutional, public or private uses for the site under the current Land Use Plan
and low-density zoning is limited by the size of the site, and vehicular access limitations.
3. Vehicular access to the site has limitations due to existin; and future expected traffic patterns and adjacent
roadway confi;urations, suggesting that a low intensity residential use should be favored over potentially hi�her-
intensity uses that might be available via a conditional use permit.
4. The property is at a location highly visible to traffic entering Orono from the east. Development at this site might
be considered as a `main entrance' to Orono, and as such will inherently set a tone as to the character of the City,
and therefore a visually low-intensity use of the site should be strived for.
City of Orono Communit3� Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-35
� CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan
5. The property abuts the Luce Line Trail,which as it traverses Orono has a completely different feel than it does in
Plymouth to the east;a rura] feel rather than a suburban feel. Development of a 50 unit residential building rather
than 9 individual buildings is anticipated to result in a more compact, centered footprint, not as spread out as the
previously approved 9 single family homes. This has a potential to then retain more of the long views to the
southwest enjoyed by trail users, given that those views are now of a freeway and railroad corridor. Due to the
trail crossing of the freeway immediately west of the property, this is one of the very few locations in Orono
traversed by the trail where denser development might not seem out of place.
6. Residential development at a densiry of 2 or more units per dry buildable acre would be inconsistent with eaisting
and expected residential development surrounding tlle property. While the property in Lon� Lake to the north is
zoned to allow up to 4 units per acre, it has developed in the past with a wide ran�e of lot sizes and at a
substantially lower density than it is zoned for. The above factors suggest that this location lends itself to a low-
inte��sity, low-profile multi-family use such as senior assisted living. The traffic �enerated by this use would be
limited, and the profile of the residents would not require immediate adjacency to most urban amenities.
Therefore,development of such a use at a density of up to 10-15 dwelling units per acre would be appropriate for
the site.
Planned Development Parameters
Land Use Plan Amendment-2009
In addition to the permitted, conditional and accessory uses allowed within the RR-lB zoning district, this
amendment allows for residential development of Parcel Group 5 at a density of 10-]5 dwelling units per net dry
buildable acre (i.e. exclusive of wetlands and required wetland buffers). Based on the net area being 5.9 acres, this
would allow a minimum of 59 units. The following parameters shall be adhered to for any residential development
of PG-5 at a density greater than 0.5 units per net dry buildable acre of land:
1. All dwellin� units shall be contained within a single residential building that shall not e�ceed two (2)
stories in height and have a footprint of no greater than 20,000 square feet.
2. The residential building shall maintain a low-profile and be designed in a residential architectural style that
blends with the natural surroundin�s of the site.
�
3. The development shall be subject to the PUD development process, and shall be rezoned to RPUD Residential
Planned Unit Development. The entirety of the property shall be so developed as a single PUD project.

URBAN COMMERCIAL LAND USE
Urban commercial development is limited to two areas which are provided with
all the necessary urban services and facilities.
NAVARRE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. The major commercial center of Orono
will continue to be the crossroads center of Navarre. This area will provide
sufficient opportunity for neiahborhood retail and service businesses, plus
adequate professional offices, to serve the needs of most Orono residents.
Accessory functions such as offices and owner-occupied living units or limited
inulti-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 I�Tavarre to allo�� for an expanded range of neiQhborhood
seivices and local small business opportunities.
The Navarre Commercial Distnct extends alona either side of Shoreline Di-ive
from the intersection of County Roads 1� and 19 westward to the Orono-Spring
Park border, and alon� both sides of Shadywood Road from Lyric Avenue to
Lydiard Avenue. The commercial uses alonb these intersectin� comdors 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,
inaking for a somewhat frayniented business district that is spread out over a mile
in length from end to end. AlonQ these two corridors the second tier of
development is typically residential, hence the business uses in many cases are in
close proximity to individual homes.
Past City planning efforts for the Na��arre area have identified a number of
challenaes to be addressed as I�avai-re redevelops in the years to come:
1) HiQh traffic volumes and the e�istin� traffic mana�ement infrastructure
result in poor pedestrian accessibility. Pedestrians have limifed options
for crossing CR 1� or CR 19. The Park and Ride facility location and
infle�ibility of bus routes (partially due to the location and configuration
of the PR.R lot) requires that bus patrons cross CR 15 on at least one leg of
their commute.
2) Parking a�•ailability is a limitin� factor for expansion or redevelopinent of
existing businesses.
3) Beautification efforts are hindered by road width and right-of-way
constraints as w�ell as financial constraints.
_�
�
Cit`• of Orono Communit�- NTanagement Plan 2008-2030 Page 38-37
CMP Part 3B. Land lise Plan
4) Aging buildings are ripe for redevelopment yet provide low rental rates
that allow local businesses to survive and thrive, reducina the incentive to
redevelop. y
�j There is little architectural cohesiveness among the existin� buildinQs.
Navarre hasn't decided whether it wants to be urban (buildings against the
street, parking in the rear) or suburban (buildings set back, parking at the
front) in character.
6) Compatibility of certain business uses with the closely adjacent residential
neiahborhood can become an issue.
7) Expansion of pedestrian connectivity to adjoining neighborhoods and to
Dakota Rail Trail.
8) Introduction of hiaher density mixed use (residential and commercial)
development to select sites identified in the Land Use Plan.
ORONO/LONG LAKE COMMERCIAL AREA An additional commercial area
is designated along Old Hi�hway 12 (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 ���ill coordinate its coinmercial development planning related to Wayzata
Boulevard area with the City of Long Lake to ensure the Lona Lake downtown
area remains vital and viable, to focus retail development in a compact downto«�n
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
neiQhborhood scale rather than `bia box' regional scale development. The types
of retail uses ��ill be those that focus on providing services to fhe residents and
businesses of Long Lake and Orono, «�hile also drawing from the reduced traffic
stream on Wayzata Boulevard resulting from opening of the new Hiahway 1?
corridor. However, the retail development is not to dra�� substantial traffic fr•om
beyond Orono.
The development plans for the Hiahway 12 area will encouraQe locally-owned
and operated businesses that provide services to Orono and Lon� Lake residents.
Additionally, the Highway 12 retail area will be a pedestrian-friendly area. This
involves providing trails/sidewalks alonQ the roadways providing access to the
retail uses. It also involves providing public amenities that provide a sense of
place and provide a gatherinQ place for the public.

CMP Part 3B. Land l��se 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. on the other hand. have limited
densit� and have em�ironmental restraints prohibitin� urban density
eneroachments. The existing rural densities do not requi��e extensive public
services and. in fact,could not economically support an urban service level.
Orono expects future development in both the urban and the rural portions
of the city. The urban area is expected to have neti residential infill development
on the existing vacant lots and undeveloped parcels at densities consistent with
the surrounding neighborhoods. Economic development will likely be ]imited to
neighborhood services in the existing Navarre Area, and ereater utilization of the
industrial and commercial potential near Long Lake. While a significant amount
of higher density housine will be developed to accommodate a wider range of
affordability and lifecycle housing needs, overall urban density will remain
relatively lo��(development in this olanning period will ranee from 0.5 to 15 units

ecological considerations of proximity to Lake Minnetonka. �
The rural area is expected to have continued residential development at a slow,
steady pace. Non-residential development will likely be limited to open space
recreation. With the large percentage of wetlands, steep slopes and public open
space, the majority of the i-ural area has been zoned to require a minimum of 2
acres of dry buildable land per residential lot,��ith an area in the northwest corner
of the City requiring at least � dry buildable acres. When wetlands, roads. steep
slopes and public open space are factored in,nearly 80%of thc 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 em�ironmcntal protection
goals. The net developed density will be not more than 1 unit per 2 acres of
dry-buildable land(0.� units per acre),this being determined on a detailed review
of individual site conditions.
Over time, changes in national priorities, population trends, metropolitan
plans and metropolitan facilities have continued to reinforce the planning
and development objectives of Orono. The 19�0's and 1960's were years of
great expansion and reliance upon the powers of science and industry to solve all
problems. Population graphs showed gro�vth projections running off the paper.
Suburbs boomed while core cities were fightin� for their very survival. The
1970's brought a new environmental a��areness and an understanding that nature,
not science was the key to our planet's survival. This simpl}�caught up to Orono's
environmental protection philosophy that has driven development of the City
since the 19�0's.
City of Orono Communih-Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-]0
r

CMP Part 3B. Land l�se Plan
The Twin Cities metro area continues to expand both in population and in
territory covered. Suburban developments continue to appear at the urban-rural
fringes and have expanded past the Metropolitan Council's jurisdictional limits
into surrounding counties and even into Wisconsin. Pressures have mounted to
control this "urban spraw]". focused at redevelopment of the core cities. greater
use of higher density infill development in the inner ring suburbs. and greater
density of new development at the developing fi•inge. Hand-in-hand with the
attempts to curb urban sprawl have been pressures (and a real need) to provide
new housing to meet the needs of a population that is widely diverse in age
ranges, lifestyles.and ineome levels.
Orono's ultimate population projections have been dropping from estimates of
37,000 made in 1970, to 23,000 in 1972, to 14,000 in 1974, to 11.000 in 1979.
Population trends during the last 30 years and a careful analysis of development
capabilities of remaining land as compared to Orono's current zoning and land use
� plan, suggest an ultimate population of around �9899.800. This figure is very
close to Orono's current (2008) estimated population of 7,800. This downward
trend over the last 3 decades is clearly a result of Orono's 197� city-wide
rezoning to lower residential densities, reacting to environmental concerns
reearding protecting the water quality of Lake Minnetonka and other Orono lakes.
The projected population is in line with and 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 Seivices(MCES).

*Does not include vacant dwelling units
Regional transportation plans have been revised since the 1970's to accommodate
the increased traffic levels on Highway 12 throu�h Orono and Long Lake. A new
2-lane limited access 'through' route paralleling Highway 12 from Orono's
eastern border to the Co.Rd.6 intersection was completed and opened to traftic in
December 2008,dramatieally decreasing the traffic levels on Old High�e�ay 12 and
providing a more attractive alternative to County Road l� for commuters from
Mound. Minnetrista and points west. Environmental and social pressw•es have
permanently eliminated any plans for expansion of Count�° Road l� along the
lakeshore. Orono will continue to promote and implement strategies to reroute
traific away fi•om the lakeshore areas.
Regional sewer service facilities plans�vere revised three decades ago in response
to Oronds plans for low-density development. Original plans called for sewering
all of Orono with capacity for 37,000 people. But the final Orono-Lone Lake
Interceptor was relocated and 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 ��as similarly designed to provide only limited capacity for Orono.
These capaeity limitations are consistent with Orono's em�ironmental concerns for
the rw•al area and with MCES regional concerns including the limited design
capacity and massive environmental discharge problems associated tiith the
central sewage collection and treatment s��stems.
Orono's commercial and economic development has always beeo centered in
the historic town centers. The shopping, employment. education and social
needs of Orono residents have been more than amply met by commercial facilities
City of Orono Communih Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-12
CMP Part 3B. Land Gse Plan
and shopping centers located in Navarre and in surrounding communities. Rural
and urban residents alike utilize these facilities and in fact,the commercial vitalitv
of the neighboring cities relies in part upon the regional service area that includes
all of Orono. Promotion of duplicate facilities in Orono would tend to be
uneconomic and counterproductive.
Orono's housing plan is intended to accommodate all ptanned population
growth in a wide variety of housing opportunities. The forecast population
increase of�2 000 persons in the next twenty years translates into a housing
"demand" of approximately 689-800 new dwelling units when deereasing
household sizes are taken into account. This average of�5-3940 new dwellines
per year is consistent with or slightly below Orono's rate of actual ne�� residence
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.
New urban housine will be in a variety of forms including single family homes on
seattered vacant lots throughout the sewered area; planned residential
developments including miaed single family and attached townhome dwelling
units on vacant sewered parcels in the Navarre area and on larger parcels
designated for urban development in the Highway 12/Long Lake area; �^a�,r
�� ^'� '^"'' ^'' '' "' higher densitv residential alone the
Hiehwav ]2 corridor; and hi�her densitv residential in the form of Mired Use
Development in the Navarre Commercial District. Other new units will be in the
form of replacement or conversion of existing seasonal or substandard dwellines
� especially along the lakeshore.
Most new rural housing will be on new lots of two to five acres net dre-buildable
area. all with prior approved site evaluation and proof of adequate septic system
operation. In Shoreland areas previously brought into the MUSA, ne�a� 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 regiona] capacit}�
and the differing levels of service required respectively by urban and rural
neighborhoods. Municipal sewer capaciry is available for projected urban
development within the existing urban service area, but there is insufficient
capacity for any major expansion of the existing urban area to densities
commensurate with Metropolitan Council goals of 3.0 units per acre for all new
sewered development.All new rura] non-Shoreland development is intended to be
permanently self-sufficient in tenns of on-site sewage treatment. In the event that
existing rural neighborhoods outside the 2008-2030 MUSA are identified as
having significant on-site system failures with no on-site alternatives for sewage
City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-13
CMP Part 3B. Land L'se Plan
proportionate to the cumulative effect of such density increase from
multiple small developments.
18. No land will be developed unless its location and characteristics are
suitable for the proposed use in accordance with this plan. Land to be
developed must be of such size,character and location that it can be safelv
used for the intended purpose without danger to health,without peril from
fire, flood or other occurrence and without undue impact upon
neighboring properties.
No ]and 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. Orono's urban residential neighborhoods will provide the
� opportunity for a variety of housing rypes and price ranges. Many urban
residences will be intimately associated with the lake shoreline and will be
subject to density restrictions because of sensitive em�ironmental
I conditions. Medium and Hieh�Densit} �� � ^^�*� ^�^^^��`_multi-famil��
residential uses will be limited to locations near existing shopping and
transportation services. but will not be appropriate within ],000 feet of the
shoreline of Lake Minnetonka.
2. Limited commercial areas will be provided for neighborhood service
businesses. The primary function of Orono's commercia] areas will be to
provide those retail, commercial and service businesses which are directiv
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. partieularly on collector streets serving low densit��
residentia] development, will be discouraged. Mixed Use Residential and
Commereial Develooment is tareeted for select traditionally commercial
areas to provide a healthy base of customers for these limited commercial
areas.
3. Lakeshore commercial areas wi11 be provided for public access and
limited lake-user services. Orono's residents and other lake users require
Cih of Orono Community n4anagement Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-19
C!�1P Part 3B. Land Gse Plan
9. The existing urban area will not be expanded. Orono's Community
Management Plan is not a staged growth plan. Except in limited cases, as
defiined bv this�an.�the urban service area will not be expanded into the
detined rural area and urban services and facilities will not be extended
into the rural area for purposes of fosterin� or allo�ving increased
development density in those areas.
10. The design and density of urban development will be controlled 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 desiened
to assure protection of these values for all urban residents.
ll. A significant amount of natural woodiands and open space will be
retained on each property. Retentio❑ of the natural environment
requires careful siting and preservation of trees and open spaee on each
urban property.
l2. Land use standards wiil limit the impact of urban encroachment on
Lake Minnetonka. Minimum lot width will space out docks and
structural encroachments while increasing areas of natural veeetation.
Lake use reeulations 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 stora�e.
l3. Retention of natural vegetation wi❑ limit the impact of urbanization
as visible from the lake. Building heiehts�°ill be limited to less than the
typical tree hei�ht. Minimum green belts will be provided w°ith
prohibitions against clearcutting or excessive thinning of vegetation.
Natural vegetation will be preserved on slopes and retaining walls will be
discouraged except ��hen absolutely necessary to prevent erosion, in
which case they will be screened with natural vegetation.
RURAL LAND USE POLICI ES
1. Orono's rural area will be reserved for permanent low-density
residential land use. Orono's rolling rural area is not suitable for
commereial agriculture. Likewise, the delicate balance of storm water
nutrient loading vs. marshland assimilative capacit� 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
City of Orono Community Vlanagement Plan 2008-2030 Page 3[3-21
CMP Part 3B. Land [ise Plan
in the rural area.
2. Orono's rural service area provides the opportunity for quasi-
agricultural land uses. Greenhouses,orchards,truck farms, riding stables
and recreation areas sueh as large golf courses and park reserves are not
possible in more erowded urban areas but they are compatible with rural
residential properiies. Thus, the total commercial activity of Orono is
broader and more varied than if the City were all urban or all rural.
3. Rural density is limited by natural conditions. Development of rural
Orono is naturally limited by a number of conditions including extensive
wetlands, steep slopes and areas of high water table, which factors
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.
4. The existing rural area will not be urbanized. Orono's Community
Management Plan is not a staged growth plan. Exeept in limited cases as
identified in this plan, �the urban service area will not be expanded into
the rural area. Municipal urban services will not be extended into the rural
area or across open, rural lands. Rural land uses and rural land use density
will be maintained at a level to ensure that private on-site sewer systems
will operate satisfactorily and that rural wetlands and drainage�vays ���ill
not be overloaded with storm water nutrient pollution.
5. Rural land uses and densities do not require urban services. Urban
services are not compatible with rural land use. Eatension of certain urban
services, such as extensive public road maintenance or municipal sewer or
��ater eannot be economically,justified or easily provided to developments
in rural areas or at rural densities.
6. Rural land uses do not require municipal sewer service. Orono's soil,
topography and low-density rural land use provide the ingredients
necessan� to assure safe, adequate, permanent on-site sewage treatment
and waste water disposal without hazard to ground water. surface water or
the public health. Extension of sewer service to properties in the rural
area will be avoided, except when necessary to protect the public health,
or to avoid or eliminate negative impacts to surface and groundwaters.
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 se���er 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.

C!VIP Part 3B. Land l:se Plan
4. Approve and permit proposed housing developments in light of'population
forecasts, existing housing stock, and current and future community and
regional needs, as appropriate.
Each local community is required to address how it will plan for its share of
regional affordable housing needs for the decade 2011-2020. 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
eomprehensive plan and ensure conformity with metropolitan system plans. One
required element of the implementation program is a housing implementation
pro�ram, '`...including official controls to implement the housing element of the
land use plan,whieh 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 31l new affordable housing units for the
decade 2011-2020.
In order to establish whether suitably positioned land and resources are available ,_.--- Fo�matced:H�9ni�9nt
�--------- -- -- — — --- -- -- ---- -- ---- — -- ---
to address Oronds forecasted share of the regional affordable housing need, the
Developable Land Analysis originally completed in 1999 has been updated far
2008. Table 3B-2: Residential Land Use Capacity by Zoning District & ��
MUSA Status-2008(see following page)provides an analysis of the current and �
future state of residential development in Orono,defining the numbers of existing �
and potential homes that can be developed under current and planned zoning. �
This analysis was completed by reviewing the additional development capacity of
each of Oronds approximately 4000 tax parcels,taking into account the available
land area,wetlands,potential road needs,etc.
Map 3B-5 depicts the existing land uses in Orono as of 2000. As shown in

URBAN LAND USE
URBAN RESIDENTIAL LAND USE
Urban residential development will retain the basic single family character of the
community but will also provide for a wider range of housing types at generally
low densities consistent with available services. the natural amenities of the land.
and environmental protection. Planning devices such as clusterina v�-i11 permit a
limited amount of multiple dwellings such as patio homes. towmhouses and
garden apartments to be located near commercial areas within the overall planned
density of the neighborhood.
Urban residential development requires municipal sanitary sewer. an adequate
transportation system.neighborhood recreational facilities and other typica] urban
services.The location of urban residential uses depends to a substantial degree on
the environmental impact on Lake Minnetonka and the protection of the natural
wetlands system for storm water filtration and purification.
All urban residential land within 1,000 feet of Lake Minnetonka ���ill require
special environmental restrictions and lower land use densities in order to assure
shoreline protection and minimal direct storm water runoff pollution.

development. Since the areas identified for this higher density development are to
some extent limited by environmental constraints,each such development must be
analyzed and reviewed on an individual basis. The properties identified for

Additional Development Factors,Parcel Group 2
This site has a number of factors which mahe it unattractive for Z-acre rural residential development as currently
zoned,includin¢:
- Location between n�o highway corridors is not conducive to rural development. i
- Location across from Industrial Park is not conducive to rural development �
- Site abuts one of the busiest intersections in Orono.
- East half ot�site is poorly suited for development with septic systems.
Municipal sewer and water are relatively available as compared to most other areas of the Citv.The site has direct
access to arterial and collector road system,and is relatively near urban services as compared to most other areas of
the City. Furthermore,the site is separated from existing rural neighborhoods by the Orono Schools,by existing
wetlands,by the existing railroad,and by existing and fLture road/railroad corridors.Because of these separations,
development at hieher densities will have little impact on adjacent rural character neighborhoods.
Development of this site will be required to adhere to the principles of Conservation Design.

Background,Site Characteristics
Nature of Surcoundine Propertv. Property to the west and east of Parcel Group 5(PG-5)is guided and zoned for
single family residential use at a densiry of 1 unit per 2 acres. The property west across the railroad corridor has
been developed with Iow-density SFR use for many years. The property across Highway 12 to the east contains a
church building that has undereone a variety of tenants, and is eurrently serving as a Montessori school. The ,
cemetery property to the immediate south in the city of Wayzata is guided for institutional uses and is zoned for
Low Density Residential. Lots to the north of tl�e Luce Line in the city of Long Lake are guided for single family
uses(R-1)with a minimum lot area of 10,000 s.f.and 75'width,i e.SFR at 4 units per acre. However.the existine �
single family lots abutting the north side of the Luce Line in this area range from 1/4 acre to I-2/3 acres in area.
Current Zonine and Land Use Plan Status PG-5 is zoned RR-1 B 3ingle Family Rural Residential,which allows the ,
development of single family homes at a density of 1 unit per 2 dry buildable acres,and is within the defined Rural
Area of Orono as shown on CMP Map 3B?. PG-5 was mapped and guided for Rural Residential Use in the 2000-
2020 Land Use Plan.PG-5 was re-guided in 2007 to allow for residential development at a density of 1.43 units per
acre to allow development of 9 detached dwelli��gs on the site. Because that project did not proceed,the rezoning to �
RPUD did not take effect.

the nearby Myrtlewood neighborhood.
Basis for Amendment The 2000-2020 CMP indicates that to inore closely approach the development density goals
established by Metropolitan Council,Orono has defined certain areas of the City where conversion from planned -
Rural densities to planned Urban densities is appropriate. These are areas where provision of urban services can be
efficient,cost-effective,and have the least negative impacts on the City's environmental goals and on surrounding
development. In defining where urban areas should be located, the City considers proximity to existine hisher
density development; proximity to existing municipal sewer lines with available capacity; proximity to existing �
urban services;adjacency to existing transportation corridors;and location high in the watershed to limit stormwater
impacts.
Parcel Group 5 was not identified for change from Rural to Urban in the 2000-2020 CMP. Further.the 2000-2020
CMP establishes a number of policies which generally do not support the conversion of Rural land to Urban status.
However.certain factors that suggest such a chan�e is appropriate for PG-5 include:
I. The property is essentially an`orphan",with relatively little relationship to the development that surrounds it,i.e.
it is surrounded on three sides by transportation eorridors (OId 12, NeN 12, Luce Line Trail); it is
topographically disconnected from the primarily single family residential uses to the north; and it abuts a
ceme[ery on the south. This lack of connectivity to surroundin� residential areas makes use of the site for a
"family friendly"neighborhood unattractive and poorly marketable at best.
2. The potential for non-residential institutional,public or private uses for the site under the current Land Use Plan
and low-density zoning is limited by the size of the site,and vehicular access limitations.
3. Vehicular access to the site has limitations due to existing and future expected traffic patterns and adjacent
roadway configurations,suggesting that a low intensity residentiai use should be favored over potentially higher-
intensity uses that might be available via a conditional use permit.
4. The property is at a location highly visible to traffic entering Orono from the east.Development at this site might
be considered as a`main entrance'to Orono.and as such will inherently set a tone as to the character ofthe City,
and therefore a visually low-intensity use of the site should be strived for.
5. The property abuts the Luce Line Trail,which as it traverses Orono has a completely different feel than it does in
Plymouth to the east;a rural feel rather than a suburban feel. Development of a 40-�0 unit residential building
rather than 9 individual buildings is anticipated to result in a more compact,centered footprint,not as spread out
as the previously approved 9 single family homes. This has a potential to then retain more of the long views to
the southwest enjoyed by trail users,given that those views are now of a freeway and railroad corridor. Due to
the trail erossing of the freeway immediately west of the property,this is one of the very few locations in Orono
traversed by the trail where denser development might not seem out of place.
6.Residential development at a density of 2 or more units per dry buildable acre would be inconsistent with existing
and expected residential development surrounding the property.While the property in Long Lake to the north is
zoned to ailow up to 4 units per acre, it has developed in the past with a wide range of lot sizes and at a
substantially lower density than it is zoned for.The above factors suggest that this Iocation lends itself to a low-
intensity,low-profile multi-family use such as senior assisted living.The traffic generated by this use would be
limited, and the profile of the residents would not require immediate adjacency to most urban amenities.
Therefore,development of such a use at a density of up to 10 dwellino units per acre would be appropriate for
the site. �

amendment allows for residential development of Parcel Group S at a density of^���-�'"�� '� ''?10-15 dwelling

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 cases are in
close proximity to individual homes.
Past City planning efforts for the Navan•e area have identified a number of
ehallenges to be addressed as Navarre redevelops in the years to come:
1) High traffiic volumes and the existing traffic management infrastructure
result in poor pedestrian aceessibility. Pedestrians have limited options
for crossing CR l� 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 1�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 wcll as financial constraints.
4) Aging buildings are ripe for redevelopment yet provide low rental rates
that allo��local businesses to survive and thrive, reducine the incentive to
redevelop. � �
5) There is little architectural cohesiveness among the existing buildings.
Navar•re hasn't decided whether it wants to be urban (buildings against the
st�•eet, parking in the rear) or suburban (buildings set back, parking at the
front)in character.
6) Compatibility of certain business uses with the closely adjacent residential
neighborhood can become an issue.
7) Expansion of pedestrian connectivity to adjoining neighborhoods and to
Dakota Rail Trail.
8) [ntroduction of higher densitv mixed use (residential and commercial)
development to select sites identified in the Land Use Plan
ORONO/LONG LAKE COMMERCIAL AREA. An additional commercial area
is designated along Old Highway ]2 (Wayzata Boulevard) where the availabilit�
of transportation and utilities as well as proximity to similar commercial
developments in Orono and Long Lake,make commercial use appropriate.

Each local community is required to address how it will plan for its share of
regional affordable housing needs for the decade 2011-2020. 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 of the implementation program 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 modera�e income housing." Orono's share is forecasted at 311 new
affordable housing units for the decade 2011-2020.
To accomodate Orono's share of new affordable housin� units the Land Use
Plan has desi�nated 102 net acres for development at 6 units per acre or higher

This Housing Plan is an indication of the ongoing policies and concerns of
Orono residents toward solving our own housing problems while taking
considered and appropriate measures to address regional growth concerns. This
Plan is a refinement and restatement of the planning direction established in the
1974 Orono Village Comprehensive Guide Plan, and the 1980 and 2000-2020
Orono Community Management Plans, and is prepared and presented for the
following purposes:
1. The Housing Plan is intended to provide a review of Orono's existing
housing stock. As an older outlying municipality on the developing
fringe of the Metro area, especially one with miles of desirable lakeshore,
it is easy to forget or to overlook the true housing situation in Orono. The
Housing Plan includes a brief review of eXisting housing statistics which
illustrates the variety and diversity of existing housing in Orono.
2. The Housing Plan is intended to be a management tool for City
officials, City staff and other parties interested in improving the
condition of Orono's available housing supply. The Plan includes

Population trends during � ysis of development
capabilities of remaining land as compared to Orono's current zoning and land
use plan, suggests a year 2030 population of around 9,000. This figure is very
close to Orono's current (2008) estimated population of 7,800. This downward
trend over the last 3 decades is clearly a result of Orono's 1975 city-wide
rezoning to lower residential densities, reacting to environmental concerns
regarding protecting the water quality of Lake Minnetonka and other Orono
lakes.
The projected population numbers for 2010 through 2030 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 2.73 PPH at the 2000 census.
Household sizes are projected to shrink even further to a level of 2.4&39 PPH by
�8�9-2030. Orono's 2030 population projection of 9,89�-800 reflects an
estimated�&4100 households at�-�8?.39 persons per household.
The projected population is in line with and a direct result of Orono's
environmental protection policies. The population projections are consistent with
Orono's rural land use preservation policies. The population projections reflect a
careful parcel-by-parcel analysis of existing and planned development according
to the Land Use Plan presented in this 2030 CMP update. 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 hilosophy and policies.

*Does not include vacant dwellin�units
Orono's land use plan accommodates all planned population growth in a
wide variety of housing opportunities. The forecast population increase of
approximately �98�2000 persons in the next twenty years translates into a
housing demand of approximately �-800 new dwelling units. This average of
?�-3840 new dwellings per year is consistent with or slightly below Orono's rate
of actual new residence 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.
The Metropolitan Council's 2030 Regional Development Framework
adopted in January 2004 and the Minnesota Livable Communities Act
emphasizes the need for a wide range of housing alternatives and locations
such as that afforded by Orono's differing urban and rural neighborhoods.
The location of housing alternatives is directly related to the opportunities and
services enjoyed by residents of the Metropolitan Area. Location influences not
only access to employment, but also the availability of neighborhood parks and
recreational programs, libraries, health care facilities, day care centers, and
access to major retail centers, highways, and public transit.
City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3C-9
.
� CMP Part 3C. Housin�Plan
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, affordable housing and many fornzs of lifecycle
housing are only feasible at urban densities, which require urban infrastructure
such as municipal sewer and water, and the wide range of urban services not
available in the 80% of Orono that is planned for low-density rural residential
development.
New housing alternatives in Orono are planned primarily to occur within
the exis�ing 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 �15 units per acre. Where
feasible, affordable housing units will be incorporated within multi-unit new
housing development, in areas desi�nated for Mixed Use Medium-High Densit�
Residential. and Hi�h Density Residential in the Land Use Plan .-
Development Densitv and Housin� Goals
Minnesota Statutes 473.859 Subd. 2(c) states that the content of the land use plan
element of comprehensive pla�7s shall "include a housing element containirrg
standards, plans and programs fo�° providirrg adequate housir�g opportur�ities to meet
existing and projected local and regional housing rreeds, including but r�ot limited to the
use of o�cial controls and la�rd use planning to promote the availabiliry of larrd for the
development of low and nzoderate incori�e housing. "
2000-20I0 Housing Goals. In the 2000-2020 CMP the City of Orono did not
strictly commit to providing a specific number of affordable housing units.
Rather, as is shown in Table 3C-9, the City established a 2000-2010 goal of
providing 160 `affordable' townhomes, with `affordable ownership' defined as
owne�•-occupied townhome units developed at a density of at least 6 units per
acYe; and a goal of 120 `affordable' rental units with `affordable rental' defined
as attached multi family rental units developed at a density of�at least 10 units
per ac��e. In its acceptance of Orono's 2000-2020 CMP, the Metropolitan
Council recognized that the variety of economic factors inherent to Orono would
make it impossible to develop housing that would meet the price-point definition
of `affordable', and accepted the premise that provision of higher-density
opportunities was a realistic method to allow for a variety of price-points.
Orono has made significant progress toward meeting these goals. As described in
greater detail later in this Chapter, the Highway 12 area "Stonebay" townhome
development in and of itself, at an overall density of 6.23 units per acre (157
units on 25.2 net acres) will essentially meet Orono's 2000-2010 goal for number
of owner-occupied townhomes. For rental units, the Orono Woods Senior
Housing project completed in 2003 containing 62 uiuts at a density of 15.35 units
per acre, accomplished half of the City's 120-unit multi-family rental goal.
City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3G10
CMP Part 3C. Housina Plan
2011-2020 Housing Goals. Far the period 2011-2020, Met Council in
collaboration with the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) established
a 4-step methodology for determining affordable housing needs for the region: 1)
determine forecasted household growth in sewered areas; 2) determine the
proportion of growth expected to be made up of sewered households; 3) estimate
the number of new affordable housing units that the private market will provide
to new low-income households; and 4) calculate the net need for newly-
constructed affordable housing units.
A two-step approach was then used to allocate the need among the region's
� sewered municipalities: Step 1 - Apportion new low-income housing need in
each community according to its growth based on 2010 household forecasts,
assuming the metro-wide average of 30.6% of all new housing units would be
affordable to low-income renters or buyers; Step 2 - make adjustments far each
community based on a) low-wage job proximity; b) affardable housing stock;
and c) transit service.
Orono's share based on this formula is 3ll X affardable units needed during the
period 2011-2020. As stated, previouslv, the City's land use plan accommodates
for these units in areas guided for development at 6 units per acre or hi her.

CMP Part 3C. Housing Plan
The Lake Minnetonka area is comprised of a number of individual cities, both
large and small, each of which have the capacity to provide housin� for certain
'niches' of the population, but few of which have the capacity to provide for all
categories of lifecycle or affordable housing. In order to identify the existing
life-cycle and diversified housing, and to identify opportunities for such housing
from a sub-regional perspective, the 16 Lake Minnetonka Area Cooperating
Cities (LMACC) in 1998 prepared a Sub-Regional Housing Study.
The LMACC Study identified a number of key issues which set the stage for
addressing problems and identifying opportunities for development of adequate
housing in the subregion. The key issues relate to two primary factors: the
changing profile of the LMACC cities, including demographics, life-cycle
housing, population turnover, and low/moderate income households; and the
housing stock, including market trends, housing conditions, housing values, and
housing options. The Study proposed a series of six Housing Initiatives,
including:
1) A Subregional Approach to addressing housing needs;
2) Actions to create Sustainable Communities;
3) Development of Diversified Housing Options;
4) Establishment of Support Services such as transit access, child care
assistance, etc.
5) Establishment of a Subregional Housing Redevelopment Authority
(HRA); and
6) Protection of Existing Housing.
Housing Needs Related to Reroutin� of fli�hway 12
The rerouting of Highway 12 resulted in the acquisition and removal by MnDOT
of a number of dwelling units within the cities of Long Lake and Orono. The
City of Long Lake was substantially impacted by the rerouting as approximately
10% of its tax base was lost. Further, as a fully developed municipaliry Long
Lake does not have sufficient land area to accommodate relocation of these
homes, many of which were in the $100,000-200,000 price range.
To potentially assist in replacing these lost dwelling units, Orono's 2000-2020
CMP expanded the MUSA in the area east of Willow Drive between the
Burlington Northern Railroad and Watertown Road, and re-guided this area from
2-acre Rural SFR to Urban SFR at a density of 2-3 units per acre, similar to the
adjoining development in Orono's Hackberry Hill neighborhood and to abutting
residential development in Long Lake. The goal of this expansion was to make
City of Orono Communit�� Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3G19
♦
CMP Part 3C. Housin�Plan
land available at a density that might support moderately-priced housing at or
below the $350,000 -500,000 range. It was hoped that such housing could
accommodate the relocation of some of the Long Lake households displaced by
the Highway 12 rerouting. The first development within this expanded MUSA
area created 8 new SFR building sites at a net density of 2.0 units per acre.
Initial residential construction within this development is priced at levels higher
than anticipated.
The Ciry of Orono will investigate and promote methods by which more
moderate priced housing can be provided as this area further develops. The
northerly portion of this area (Parcel Group 3 in Land Use Plan) is currently
bein� reQuided to allow for multi-familv residential development at a density of
up to 15 units per acre.
Metropolitan Livable Communities Pro�ram
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 housinb initiatives. The
Metropolitan Council is responsible for implementing the Metropolitan Livable
Communities Program, and negotiating with individual municipalities to
establish affordable and life-cycle housing goals consistent with the Metropolitan
Development Guide
Orono has participated in the Livable Communities program since 1996. The
program establishes benchmarks for housing affordability, life-cycle housing,
and housing density.
In response to the Met Council benchmarks, the City Council in June 1996
adopted a Housing Action Plan identifying rehabilitation of existing substandard
housing as the City's top priority, citing limited commercial-industrial
development and employment opportunities, as well as limited availability of
public services, and the skyrocketing price of land as barriers to providing
opportunities for affordable housing in Orono.
While Orono did not commit to any specified numeric goals within the context
of the Livable Communities Act, the City is required to identify numerical goals
in response to the Land Planning Act. The City's housing goals in terms of
affordability, life-cycle housing and density for new sewered development in the
period 2000-2010 appear in Table 3C-9.
To address the need for additional lifecycle housing options, Orono in its 2000-
2020 CMP guided new areas within the northern portion of the City near the
Highway 12 corridor for medium density residential use. These revisions
provided for a mix of single-family and multi-family development at densities
ranging from 2-6 units per acre (see Map 3B-7).

CMP Part 3C. Housina Plan
HOZISING GOALS AND POLICIES
Orono's Housing Action Plan is based upon the following Goals and Policies
which are designed to be consistent with our regional housing responsibilities
and with the Goals, Policies and Plans of the other elements of the Community
Management Plan.
Housin� Goals
1. To improve the housing conditions of persons residing in
substandard housing.
2. To provide safe, bealthful, and blight-free residences and
neighborhoods.
3. 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.
4. To provide housing types and residential densities consistent with
environmental and land use plans and with the availability of public
services and facilities.
5. To provide immediately beneficial housing programs for the greatest
number of Orono residents with affordable housing needs.
Urban Housina 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 2-6-15 units per acre is compatible with Orono's environmental
policies of limited hardcover and maximum retention of natural 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 attached

powers of science and industry to solve all problems. Population graphs showed
growth projections running off the paper. Suburbs boomed while core cities were
fighting for their very survival.
The 1970's brought a new environmental awareness and an understanding that nature,
not science, was the key to our planet's survivaL New social concerns revived the
cities and showed how characterless the suburbs had become.Inflation and population
stabilization brought unlimited expansion to a halt as roads, schools, and all public
services began scrambling for maintenance dollars while overbuilt facilities quickly
became terrible taxpayer burdens. The cost of energy dramatically refocused
everyone's attention on conservation and careful planning of any new facility.
The results of these changes on the Twin Cities region and on Orono were significant.
Orono's ultimate population projections have been dropping from estimates of 37,000
made in 1970, to 23,000 in 1972, to 14,000 in 1974, to the Metropolitan Council's
projection of 11,000 made in 1979. Population trends during the last 30 years and a
careful oing analysis of development capabilities of remaining land as
com ared to Oron 's current and intended zoning, suggest an ultimate population of
aro nd 9,000. Th' downward trend over the last four decades is clearly a result of
Or o's 1975 city-wide rezoning to lower residential densities, reacting to
envir tal concerns regarding protecting the water quality of Lake Minnetonka
and other Orono lakes.

growth projections running off the paper. Suburbs boomed while core cities were
fighting for their very survival.
The 1970's brought a new environmental awareness and an understanding that nature,
not science, was the key to our planet's survival. New social concerns revived the
cities and showed how characterless the suburbs had become.Inflation and population
stabilization brought unlimited expansion to a halt as roads, schools, and all public
services began scrambling for maintenance dollars while overbuilt facilities quickly
became terrible taxpayer burdens. The cost of energy dramatically refocused
everyone's attention on conservation and careful planning of any new facility.
The results of these changes on the Twin Cities region and on Orono were significant.
Orono's ultimate population projections have been dropping from estimates of 37,000
made in 1970, to 23,000 in 1972, to 14,000 in 1974, to the Metropolitan Council's
projection of 11,000 made in 1979. Population trends during the last 30 years and a
careful and._ongoing analysis of development capabilities of remaining land as
comp�'ed�to Oro o's current and intended zoning, suggest an ultimate population of

S UMMAR Y OF EXISTING TRANSPOR TA TION ISS UES
Orono's existing transportation issues generally fall into 3 categories: congestion,
safety and system maintenance.
Congestion is caused by daily and hourly traffic volumes that exceed the traffic
handling capacity of the road system. The capacity for a given roadway is a function of
many factors including the number of lanes,the number and type of access points and
intersections, the configuration of the roadway and the condition of the pavement.
Traffic volumes that exceed the traffic handling capacity can result in traffic backups
that ultimately have a secondary impact on parallel corridors.
The two primary routes in Orono that have historically been congested are County
Road 15 and U.S. Highway 12 (Wayzata Boulevard). County Road 15 currently
exceeds its traffic volume design capacity based on generally recognized standards. A
two-lane arterial facility such as County Road 15 is usually considered as being ,
congested when the daily volumes reach 13,000-18,000. County Road 15 has a
2006/2007 ADT of 18,200 vehicles through the Navarre area and 23,900 vehicles just '
east of the Orono/Wayzata border, and these counts are forecasted to increase to
21,000 and 27,000 vehicles per day respectively by 2020. Old Highway 12 had a 2006
ADT ranging from 17,700 in western Orono to as high as 24,700 (2005 Data) east of
downtown Long Lake. Future traffic counts for the new Highway 12 bypass and
Wayzata Boulevard now that the bypass has been opened are eXpected later in 2009.
Orono has a number of unique Qeographical factors that limit the options for reducing
congestion, the most apparent being Lake Minnetonka and its many bays and
associated wetlands. It is also significant that the volumes of traffic causing
congestion are generated by commuters from developing communities to the west of
Orono.
Safety is an issue of concern where the impacts of congested commuter roadways spill
over into parallel corridors, as well as where major collectars intersect the principal
and `A' minor arterials. As traffic counts have risen and congestion has increased,
access onto County Road 1� has become more difficult and drivers are willing to take
more risks in entering the traffic stream. The addition of a third lane for turns along
County Road 15 east of Orono Orchard Road has improved this segment of 15,but the
roadway west of Orono Orchard Road is difficult to upgrade due to constrictions in the
right-of-way caused by geographic characteristics. County improvements to the
Orono Orchard Road / CR-1� intersection are scheduled for 2009.
Prior to completion of the Highway 12 bypass,its route throu�h Orono and Long Lake
was the primary commuter route for a string of rural communities as far west as
Willmar, and had built-in safety concerns due to the volume of traffic and the many
crossroads. While the level of traffic on Wayzata Boulevard has significantly
decreased. additional future development near the Wayzata Boule�°ard / Old Crystal

2007/2008 ADT of 18,200 vehicles through the Navarre area and 23,900 vehicles just
east of the Orono/Wayzata border; these counts are forecasted to decrease slightly to
18,100 and 21,400 vehicles per day respectively by 2030. Old Highway 12 had a 2006
ADT ranging from 17,700 in western Orono to as high as 24,700 (2005 Data)east of
downtown Long Lake. Hennepin County forecasts indicate that by 2030, traffic
counts on Wayzata Boulevard through Long Lake will be at an ADT of 16,600 with an
ADT of 27,100 on the new Highway 12 Bypass.

development capabilities of remaining land as compared to Orono's current
zoning with a small number of proposed changes, suggests an ultimate population
of around 9,800. This figure is not far from Orono's current (2008) estimated
population of 7,800. This downward trend over the last four decades is clearly a
result of Orono's 1975 city-wide rezoning to lower residential densities, reacting

5. This 2008-2030 Comprehensive Plan will immediately expand the current
2008 MUSA by adding the following institutionally-used residential
property:
MUSA PART XXXXIX - 8�0 West Wayzata Boulevard (This 6.2-
acre property contains a former church building currently used as a
Montessori school. The property is zoned and guide-planned for
Single-Family Residential use at a density of one unit per 2 dry
buildable acres. At the request of the property owner, the property
is being re-guided for Institutional Use as part of this 2008-2030
CMP, which will require a CMP amendment before it could be
developed for residential use; the current school/daycare use is an
allowed conditional use in the RR-1B zone via a Conditional Use
Permit, and will continue to operate under the terms of that CUP.
The building has a nonconforming septic system. The site is
surrounded on three sides by property in the MUSA and on the
fourth side by MnDNR's Luce Line Trail and Wood Rill SNA.)
6. This 2008-2030 Comprehensive Plan will immediately expand the current
2008 MUSA by adding the following residential property for future high-
density development:
MUSA PART XXXXX - 3245 West Wayzata Boulevard (This
29-acre property is comprised of two tax parcels containing a
single-family residence and a closed sanitary landfilL The property
contains approximately 5 developable acres, with an additional 11
acres encumbered with the former landfill, plus 13 acres of
wetland. The site is situated between new Highway 12 and
Wayzata Boulevard, just east of the confluence of those two main
transportation routes. The property is being re-guided in this CMP
to allow far medium-hiba density multi-family residential
development.)
7. While the City has no s�aged development plan, and currently has n
scheduled projects outside the existing MUSA, any future MUSA
expansions will be considered within the context of the following
guidelines:
a. The RR-lA 5-acre zoning district, plus the additional areas of
northwest Orono encompassing Three Rivers Park District's Baker
Regional Park, will not be incorporated within the MUSA during
the planning period 2008-2030.
b. Areas within the 2-acre single-family LR-1 A Lakeshore
Residential and RR-1B Rural Residential zoning districts which
are not included within the 2000-2020 MUSA as amended (Parts I
thru XXXXV) nor within the proposed expansion areas (Parts

The Orono-Long Lake Interceptor is designed and constructed with sufficient
capacity to permit planned development within the urbanized areas of Orono,
Long Lake, Minnetonka Beach, and the Morningside area of Medina. The
Interceptor was also designed with sufficient capacity to accommodate additional
flows from Orono including a number of rural neighborhood clusters where pre-
existing residential development required municipal sewer, and to accommodate
additional planned urban development in northern Orono primarily along the
Highway 12 corridor. However, capacity is not unlimited and is not sufficient to
accommodate sewering of all of rural Orono at urban densities. This capacity is
consistent with the land use plans of the other chapters of Orono's Community
Management Plan.

6. Maple Plain Interceptor
The seventh and last municipal sewer plant discharging into Lake Minnetonka
was the Maple Plain plant. Maple Plain had been designated as a freestanding
growth center in the late 1970's and most of the sewage entering the plant was
generated in the Crow River watershed. The Metropolitan Council's 208 Water
Quality Study concluded that only minor plant alterations would be necessary to
upgrade this plant for satisfactory levels of phosphorus removal. As of 1980, the
208 recommendation, and the accepted plans of Maple Plain, Orono, Medina and
the MWCC, all agreed that the then 15 year old idea for a Maple Plain interceptor
was no longer necessary and was in fact no longer a valid taxpayer expense. This
decision had been reinforced by the final routing of the Orono Long Lake
Interceptor and bv the then planned lack of Maple Plain capacity in that
Interceptor.

B. MUNICIPAL FACILITIES
The City of Orono owns, operates and maintains municipal sanitary sewer
facilities as indicated on Maps 4G4(a thru f).
The City of Orono originally constructed and operated a cornplete sewage
collection and treatment system to serve the Navarre Area. With the elimination
of the Orono Sewage Treatment Plant in 1980, the City remains responsible for a
municipal system of sewer trunks and laterals serving all of urban Orono and
parts of rural Orono.
Because of topography and historic development patterns, the Orono municipal
sewer system includes a number of disconnected sections which can be
categorized into 4 distinct service areas:
1. "SOUTHWEST ORONO SYSTEM": All lines which are upstream from and
ultimately discharge to MCES Lift Station#59 (LS-59).

This is the original municipal sewer sys�em 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 system was originally designed with capacity to discharge flow
from the saturation population in the areas currently served including those areas
designated for service but not yet developed. The original design included
capacity for Minnetonka Beach. Those portions of the trunk sewer which serve an
interceptor function are now operated by MCES.

CMP Part 4C. Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan
This portion of the municipal system was initially constructed in 1967 as an
extension of the Long Lake municipal system primarily to provide sewer (and
water) service to the Orono High School being built on the campus west of Old
Crystal Bay Road. In addition, this system provided service to two other school
buildings and to the Orono Industrial Park.
The Hackberry Hills area was a compact development of 2� homes constructed in
the 1950's on small lots and with poor septic systems. The area was experiencing
multiple system failures and health hazards by the early 1970's which resulted in
the construction of sewer laterals. Because the surrounding area was rural
pastureland, this neighborhood project was designed and constructed solely to
serve these homes with no reserve capacity for future development. Also, the
system discharged into the Long Lake system at a location that at that time had no
capacity for additional Orono service. This discharge was originally intended to
be temporary; however, upon completion of the Long Lake bypass described
below, there was sufficient Long Lake capacity to accommodate these 25 units on
a permanent basis.
All flow from the Orono School System originally discharged into the Long Lake
municipal system and eventually into the Long Lake Pump Station of the Orono-
Long Lake Interceptor. Capacity in that system was limited by restrictions of
certain downstream lines in Long Lake. In a cooperative agreement with the cities
of Long Lake and Medina, Orono participated in construction of a bypass line in
Long Lake in 1983 to alleviate these constrictions. The basic purpose of this
bypass was to provide capacity for sewering 83 homes in the housing cluster of
Medina-Morningside to eliminate an existing health problem caused by failure of
the on-site systems due to small lot sizes, tight soil and high water table. This
project bypassed the Long Lake restrictions with a new 10" line allowing
sufficient capacity for Medina-Morningside to be connected to the existing Orono
sewer line near the Orono High School. In addition, the bypass provided reserve
capacity for the Long Lake industrial area and other Long Lake users, rerouted
enough flow to allow permanent connection of Orono's Hackberry Hills area
without modifications and permitted reallocation of the reserve in the Orono lines
to the existing system users.
Orono Comprehensive Plan Amendment No. 2 in 1989 planned for the future
development of additional commercial and higher density residential areas along
the north side of Highway 12. The Highway 12 sewer system was extended
beginning in 1989 to serve the coinmercial property as well as the Sugarwoods
neighborhood. Additional extensions in 1990 and 1991 served two residential lots
in East Willow Woods and the new municipal facilities on Kelley Parkway. In
1997 a forcemain and laterals were provided to the pre-existing North Long Lake
and Long Lake Country Club neighborhoods as part of the City's ongoing policy
of providing sewer service to higher density neighborhoods within the rural area
and within Shoreland areas. The Orono Ice Arena, located on the Orono Schools
complex, was also served at this time.

CMP Part 4C. Comprehensive Sewer Policv Plan
The Willow View sewer extension in 2000 served a new 25-lot residential
development on the west side of Willow Drive. Two city projects to serve
existing Orono neighborhoods were also completed in 2000, both discharging
directly to the Long Lake system. Additional extensions to serve existing
neighborhoods were completed in 2003-2006. The Stonebay sewer extensions in
2004 provided service to a new 157-unit residential development as well as 3
commercial outlots guided for primarily office use.
Proposed MUSA Part XXXXVI is intended to incorporate the two existing
residences at 5 and 15 Brown Road South into the MUSA. These two homes
were connected to the Long Lake sewer system in 2001-2003 using two of the 50
"floating" sewer units allotted to the City in 1996, but inadvertently not included
in the amendment that added 25 Brown Road South in 2007 (Part XXXXIV).
Proposed MUSA Part XXXXX incorporates additional developable acreage just
west of the Dumas Orchard property. This site which contains a single family
residence and a closed sanitary landfill, is being reguided in this CMP to allow for
multi-family residential development at a density of 6-7 units per acre.
Existing and projected sewer connections to LS-60 are listed in Table 4C-7.
3. "DOWNSTREAM INTERCEPTORS": All trunk and lateral lines which
directly discharge to the Orono-Long Lake Interceptor (MCES 7113 and 7113A)
downstream from L.S. 59 or L.S. 60. These direct discharges are via City-owned
and maintained lift stations pumping into the MCES forcemain at a limited
number of locations. Construction occurred durinb 1980-1999 and includes the
following lateral systems:
a. Crystal Bay (1985) / BayRidge-Hartwood (1997) / Foxhill (1998) /
Webber Hills (2000) Lateral System (Discharge to MCES 71li): MUSA
Parts VIII, XVIII, XXIV, XXVII, and XXVIII. Future extensions of this
lateral system will include MUSA Part XXXVIII and portions of Part
XXXXII.
b. Bracketts Poin� Lateral System (1997) (Discharges to MCES 7113)
MUSA Part XXVI. Future lateral extensions will serve the southerly
shore of Tanager Lake (MUSA Part XXXVII).
c. Shoreline Drive Marinas Lateral System (1980) (Discharges to MCES
7113) MUSA Part VII. No eXtensions of this lateral are expected.
d. Minnetonka Bluffs - Orono Lane - West Ferndale (1980) /Edgewood Hills
(1999) Lateral System (Discharges to MCES 7113)(MUSA Parts VI and
XXV) (Includes Woodhill Country Club flows from property in City of
Wayzata). MUSA Part XXXVI allowed for additional individual property
connections to this lateral system.

Each of these neighborhood lateral systems resulted from Alternative Waste
Management Studies conducted by the City. In each case, the Studies determined
that municipal sewer was the most appropriate long-term method of sewage
treatment for the area. Each of these areas exhibited substandard lot sizes,
difficult slopes or soil conditions, or were adjacent to the lakeshare. Existing and
projected sewer colmections to downstream laterals are shown in Table 4C-8.

This portion of the Orono municipal sewer system functions as an extension of
the Wayzata system serving existing housing adjacent to the Wayzata border. The
majority of the system was extended in 1970 to provide sewer (and water) to the
existing Chevy Chase neighborhood. The two private projects provide service to
small developments of vacant land within the service area. As in the case of
Hackberry, the surrounding land use is very low density rural residential. There is
design capacity in this system only to service the existing vacant residential lots
with no capacity allocated for any future system expansion. These 65 units flow
directly into the Wayzata system and are therefore not included in the design
capacity of the Orono-Long Lake Interceptor.
Existing and projected connections to the Wayzata lateral system are shown in

Road (MUSA Part XXXXIII). Future connections in this area abutting Wayzata
include the property at 875 Wayzata Boulevard (MUSA Part XI) and 10 existing
homes in the Myrtlewood neighborhood (MUSA Part XXXXV). The property at
850 Wayzata Boulevard (proposed MUSA Part XXXXIX) is an existing
Montessori school that is being re-guided in this Plan for Institutional use, and
would also be served by the Myrtlewood system.
Three additional homes are connected to a short extension of the Wayzata system
on West Ferndale Road where a channel crossing was avoided by connecting to
the Wayzata system.
�. PLYMOUTH DIRECT CONNECTIONS. In addition to the 4 service areas,
the City has one property directly connected to the Plymouth municipal system,
St. Edwards Church on North Ferndale Road. This property is MUSA Part
XXXXL No further connections to the Plymouth system are anticipated at this
time.

Th municipal sanitary sewer design capacities listed in the 1977
Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan (CSPP) plan were those ultimate
capacities utilized for final design of the Orono-Long Lake interceptor. A
major function of Orono's 1977 Comprehensive Sewer Plan was the engineering
review and analysis of the ultimate design capacity of the Orono municipal sewer
system as necessary criteria for the final design of MWCC's Orono-Long Lake
Interceptor. The municipal system was analyzed by McCombs-Knutson
Associates to determine the actual number of existing and potential users, the
critical pipe size and slope, the lift station capacities and the expectable rates for
average and peak flows. The study methods and raw data were assembled in the
appendix section of the 1980 CSPP as they appeared in the 1977 CSP. The net
system capacity was summarized in Table 4Gll.

The 3,025 unit assigned design capacity far Orono was based on a unit equivalent
of 115 gpd/capita and 3.2 persons per household, or 368 gpd. The City's current
estimates far future flows are based on a Residential Equivalent Connection
(REC) value of 274 gpd. Table 4C-12 provides a summary of existing and
projected flows for Orono by interceptor for the period 2008-2030, and compares
this to the assigned capacity for Orono as indicated in the Met Council's 2005
Water Resources Management Policy Plan.
Under current projections which include land use changes proposed in the Land
Use Plan of this 2008-2030 CMP, potential Orono flow rates will slightly exceed
_ the annual flows forecasted by Met Council through 2030, but do not exceed the
Interceptor Design Capacity assigned to Orono as indicated in Table 4C-11.

SEWER FACILITIES PLAN
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 addi�ional capacity allocation in
metropolitan sewer facilities. Any potential need for additional capacity in
metropolitan systems is tied directly to past revisions to the Land Use Plan in
2000 which allowed for increased housing density. The increased housing
density was necessary in order to meet identified City housing needs as well
as to be consistent with the Metropolitan Council's life-cycle housing goals.
The existing population and household ratio is split 70% sewered and 30% using
septic systems. There are estimated for year 2008 approximately 3,350 occupied
and vacant residences in Orono of which 2,300 are connected to sewer and 1,050
utilize on-site systems.
In terms of Residential Equivalent Connections or REC's (1 REC = 274 gpd =
100,000 gpy), Orono in year 2008 is estimated to have 2,585 REC's (as compared
to 2,420 REC's in 2000 and 1,987 REC's in 1990) which translates to an annual
flow of 258.5 million gallons per year. Orono's actual annual flows for 1985-
2007 are shown in the following chart:

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 per unit
(115 gal/person/day x 3.2 persons/household) totaling 1.14 mgd or 416 million
gallons per year (MGY). Current City forecasts as shown in Tables 4C-11 and
4C-12 indicate that Orono's estimated annual flows for 2010, 2020 and 2030 are
expected to be equal to or less than the ultiinate interceptor design capacity.
City of Orono Communit�� Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 4G�2
CMP Part 4C. Comnrehensive Sewer Policv Plan
Orono has sufficient land available in the Rural Area for the level of rural
unsewered development currently forecasted. Likewise, Orono has sufficient land
in the existing urban area and in the few areas re-guided in 2000 from rural to
urban development, to allow for the forecast levels of urban development. The
urban and rural development forecasts have been derived from careful analysis of
available land on a parcel by parcel basis, taking into account recent development
trends and the City's intended development types and densities for each parcel.
In the period 1980-1999 Orono added approximately 500 new residential
connections to the municipal sewer system, the majority of which were the result
of installation of sewer lines to serve existing residential development. Many of
the neighborhood housing clusters served were adjacent to a metropolitan
interceptor and made use of interceptor injector stations.
In the period 2000-2008 an additional 400 new residential units were connected to
the municipal system. Approximately half of these were connections for new
multi-family dwelling units; most of the remainder were connections of existing
homes in neighborhoods where new sewer laterals had been installed. Infill
development in the urban area accounted for a small number of these additional
units.
During the period 2008-2030, anticipated residential connections will be from
three primary sources: 1) new urban-density residential development occurring
along the Highway 12 corridor in north central Orono; 2) connections of existing
homes in neighborhoods previously retrofitted with municipal sewers to solve
sewage treatment problems; and 3) additional retrofitting of neighborhoods within
the Shoreland areas added to the MUSA in 2000. The primary impacts will be to
the LS-60 interceptor service area. While Orono's other interceptor service areas
will experience only modest flow rate increases, Orono flows to LS-60 are
eapected to double by 2030, primarily due to new residential development, but
partially due to additional commercial and institutional development. Because
most of the planned urban-density housing in this area is expected to be
completely developed by 2020, Orono's total flows are expected to be at the high
end of Met Council's flow estimates for 2010, but nearer the low forecast for
2020 and 2030 (see Table 4C-12).
Orono's projected sewer facility use and capacity needs are indicated in Table
4C-13. Population and household projections are included. These are based upon
actual building permit records during 2000-2007 as well as on City expectations
for future development based on current and planned zoning and extension of
sewers to the areas added to the MUSA in 2000. Future capacity needs for
potential future MUSA expansions under the criteria listed herein, are not
included in these projections.

Map 4C-2 indicates the location of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area
(MUSA) within Orono for year 2010 and beyond. The MUSA does not
coincide with the boundary between urban and rural Orono as discussed
elsewhere in this Community Management Plan. As indicated in the preceding
table, forecast growth in sewer facility use will occur primarily within Orono's
Urban Area, but may also occur to a limited extent in the portions of the Rural
Area that are within the MUSA.
Sewer facilities planning for urban Orono is based upon inventory and
analysis of the various con�ributing areas to the existing municipal system.
The review of Orono Sewer Com�ections (See Tables 4C-3 and 4C-4) includes an
analysis of expected development within each of the 4� existing MUSA areas as
well as the areas proposed to be added to the MUSA. For purposes of sewer
facilities planning, this expected growth is divided into five categories:
1) INCREASED FLOW FROM EXISTING USERS. In the case of building
expansion or increased occupancy, higher flows could be expected
through existing service connections. No new municipal sewer facilities
are required.
2) INFILL URBAN DEVELOPMENT. In the case of development of
existing vacant urban properties, new connections can be expected through
existing service stubs. No new n�unicipal sewer facilities are required.

7) EXISTING INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS - The On-Site
Management Program is expected to continue enforcing major
improvements to, or replacement of, existing on-site systems per City
ordinances if and when they are determined to be failing.
Table 4C-15 indicates the anticipated new sewer connections by year during the
period 2010-2020. Note that because there is no defined staging for addition of
these connections, the timing shown below is at best speculative and should not
be construed as a staging plan.

CONSTRUCTION DESIGN STANDARDS FOR NEW SEWERS
The original segments of the Orono sewer system date to 1963-1965 when the
lateral system serving much of the Navarre area was installed, connecting to what
is now the Metro forcemain system ending at LS-59 on Old Crystal Bay Road
South. The initial lateral system was constructed of clay tile, which is now 40-
plus years old and beginning to show signs of abing, such as shifting, cracking,
and increased infiltration problems. Because portions of the system are at or
below the level of Lake Minnetonka, infiltration management has been an
ongoing task for the City. In the 1970s a shift to use of PVC pipe occurred for
new installations, reducing the incidence of joint failure and thus reducing the
potential for infiltration.
Graviry Sewers vs Pressure Sewers. Historically, Orono strived to provide gravity
sewer system laterals wherever possible for ease of maintenance and to allow for
direct connections to homes with minimal homeowner maintenance
responsibility. However, a number of factors have changed this, including:
- the substantially lower construction costs of a pressure system vs. a
gravity system;

have discussions with local officials and staf£ Final approval of the rules this spring will
allow us to accomplish the following:
Wetland Protection Rule
■ Protect regional wetlands to improve water quality
� Encourage wetland replacement on a project site or within the watershed district
■ If construction occurs, tie wetland replacement to quality and location
o Ensure monitoring and maintenance of newly established wetland buffers
• Regulate wetland excavation currently not regulated by the Wetland Conservation
Act
Shoreline and Stream Bai�lc Stabilization Rule
• Preseive natural shorelines to prevent erosion and protect water from runoff
• Limit the amount of vegetation that can Ue removed fronl shore land while
providing reasonable shoreline access to property ov�nlers
• Align ne�w shoreline stabilization plans with potential erosion rislcs
• Ensure riprap is used only when necessary and consistent with Department of
Natural Resources policies
■ Allow maintenance of e�:isting riprap.
We are respondin�to input
We have appreciated the various comments avout these rules, and have listened carefully
to the feedback. In response, we are revising our final reconunendations to help address
community concerns while remaining true to our goals.
Ainong the most significant concerns addressed are:
• Who is affected — The new iules are not retroactive and will only affect
redevelopment or new construction. Wetland rule triggers will remain unchanged.
■ Wetland requirements foi• homeowners— The Wetland iule will provide more
flexible wetland buffer widths for new single-fainily home construction/tear-down
rebuilds of single-family hoines. Existing single-fainily homes will not be
affected.
• Mitigating wetlands during construction—The rules will allow landowners to
continue to use Wetland Conservation Act exemptions and give property owners
more flexiUility. Increased wetland mitigation ratios for mitigation away fi-om the
site of impact will be removed. Other revisions address concerns related to
transportation projects and signage requirements.
• Wetland monitoring and maintenance—The new rule ouly will require
monitoring and inaintenance of wetland buffers that were disturbed by �ading
during constructioil.
■ Riprap along shorelines—Property owners who cuizently have riprap
shorelines will be allowed to repair and maintain their riprap as they do under the
cun•ent rule. However, the District will establish a grant program to help
interested property owners establish natural shorelines, which have been shown to
do a better job of protecting water quality. The rule also focuses on preserving
existing natural shorelines and streain banlcs— consistent with DNR rules.
° �1se�-�a-eend➢y p�ocess — The District and rules vvill provide a inore user-friendly
process for determining erosion rislcs and llow to solve them.
C��n��a�ga�� t�work wi�h v�e-u�aes s�:a➢�e���e�ea�s
�Je understand thai some rule changes will continue to raise questions and we're
committed to worlcing with your city aiid others to answer them. However, with the
ultimate �oal of protecting and improving the water resources within the I�istrict; our
process has been extensive at�d fair, and is responsive to reasonable comments from cities
and the public.

p.m. as the first item on the Orono Council regular meeting agenda for April 12. Jim Grube
of Hennepin County will make a presentation about the Highway 12 Turnback process, with
time available for questions and discussion.
• The Planning department sent out a notification email to 43+ advertisers of`Boat Slips far
Rent" in Orono. The emails contained a notice that dock space rental in Orono violates our
City Code. We are finding these ads on Craigslist, the classifieds and other local "realtor
type"websites. (MC)
• Planning & Building staff has recently been communicating with a woman who intends to
open a salon at 3205 Shoreline Drive in Navarre. This is the same building where State Farm
is located. All of the conversations with staff have been revolving around a"salon"however
upon further research staff discovered that massa e therapy is one of the services provided.
(Click on the link for the salon's website)
The only provisions within the Zoning Code referencing"massage" are under 78-1
Definitions within the definition for Sports and health facility (which is not specifically
permitted in any district) and under 78-1377 Sexually oriented businesses. Sexually
oriented businesses or"Adult Uses" are permitted only within the Industrial district.
Basically, staff will have to tell the applicant that the therapeutic massage portion of her
salon is not allowed.
In light of the plan to revise and modernize our Conditional Use regulations staff would
like the Council to indicate their desire to have staff and Planning Commission pursue
revising the Code to allow "therapeutic massage" as a conditional use in some
commercial districts. Many cities regulate salons and massage parlors by business
license. Please contact Melanie if you have specific thoughts on this matter. (MC)

Committee of the Whole

Orono City Council Chambers
Present: Mayor Jim White, Council Members Cynthia Bremer, Lili McMillan and Jim Murphy; Assistant City
Administrator for Long-Term Strategy Mike Gaffron, Finance Director Ron Olson, Planning &Zoning
Coordinator Melanie Curtis, Public Works Supervisor pon DeBaere, Building Official Lyle Oman and City
Clerk Lin Vee
1. Geo-thermal Presentation
• Oman introduced Jim Cusak, an Orono resident who has installed geo-thermal furnaces for 13 years, and
Hollis Linehan, Executive Vice President of MEP Associates, a company that specializes in renewable
energy.
• Oman explained the city facilities are 17 years old with 17-18 furnaces. The natural gas heating and air
conditioning systems are getting to the end of reasonable use. Staff has been looking at options for
system upgrades, include geo-thermal systems.
• Geo-thermal has been in use for many years and is recognized as one of the best heating and cooling
solutions available today, especially for using renewable energy.
• The city's existing system would make an excellent conversion to geo-thermal as it would be a cost-
effective installation and operating system.
• An electric base system is used for heating and cooling along with a loop field (pipes) outside.
• Geo-thermal systems are generally about 30% more efficient. The real benefit is the way it works by
providing carbon reduction.
• Basically the system moves heat from inside the building and puts it in the ground in the summer; and in
the winter the system takes heat from the ground and puts it back into the building.
• The contractors propose to do a feasibility study to understand how a new system would affect the
building and economic situation. They design a model building in a computer simulation, including lights,
occupancy, walls, etc. and analyze the existing utility bills. The existing system is then replaced with a
geo-thermal system to use as a basis for estimating the energy savings.
• Average payback for a changeover is about 8 years.
• There is an additional cost to install the pipe/loop field in ground, which has a life expectancy of 100
years. When inside equipment needs to be replaced, the loop field wouldn't have to be replaced. Geo-
thermal equipment has been outlasting other types of systems for up to 30 years.The loop field would be
about the size of the building and could be insta►led under parking lots or in any green space (preferable).
Once the loop field is installed, pavement can be repeatedly laid over the top of the loop field.
• The system uses electricity. Electricity prices fluctuate much less than natural gas.
• The system is designed for ground temperatures at 20-25 below zero. Supplemental heat is generally not
required. Council had some concern that a back-up system may be needed.
• Fans move the air, similar to existing equipment. A freezer/refrigerator removes heat from the unit, it
doesn't make the food cold. Geo-thermal operates in a similar fashion.
• Grants and stimulus funds are available for public facilities, but there are many applicants. There are also
some monies available as a tax credit; since the city doesn't pay taxes it would be available as a 10%
grant.
• The cost for a feasibility study is approximately$3000. Xcel Energy would reimburse 50%of the cost after
approved.
• The Public Works building doesn't lend itself to geo-thermal because it has radiant heat. The contractors
have some other suggestions for the Public Works building.
• Oman has scheduled an energy audit with Xcel Energy.
• Rough estimate of cost: $25 per square foot for new systems. In the city, some ductwork exists that
could be used. Contractor would need to do further analysis including the costs for the loop field
installation.

• If the system were abandoned, the pipes in the loop field would need to be filled, similar to wells.
• The soil in this area is conducive to the geo-thermal system and generates high BTUs. 48 degrees is the
common ground temperature.
• Council directed staff to move forward with a feasibility study.
2. CommonBond Discussion
� Gaffron reviewed the documents included in the packet outlining the CommonBond proposal.
• The City Attorney is reviewing a draft purchase agreement. Council will need to determine how they want
to make the city property available to CommonBond. Options include sale at fair market price, below
market price, at no cost (donation), long-term lease similar to Orono Woods Senior housing, or some
other method. White stated the city needs to get an appraisal and should consider a redevelopment
agreement instead of a business subsidy.
• Amanda Novak, representative from CommonBond, expressed her appreciation for the letters of support
provided by the city. Their next major application for tax credits is due June 17`". They need some sort of
site control as part of the application. It is a competitive application based on point criteria. Points could
be acquired by items such as a land donation or reduction of fees.
o If CommonBond is required to pay the full $600,000 in development fees,they would need to reduce
the number of affordable units.
• McMillan asked what percentage of occupants would be from Orono. Novak estimated 65-70%would be
people who would move from outside Orono from communities such as Plymouth, Long Lake, Maple
Plain, and Wayzata.
• Murphy questioned how the public would become informed about the project. Gaffron responded that
the Comp Plan public hearing will provide an opportunity for the public to discuss properties that are
proposed to be reguided. Staff has committed to send notice to individual property owners whose
property is affected, but could consider a larger area for notification. Reguiding doesn't guarantee this
project would be approved and developed.
• Rezoning follows Comp Plan approval by Met Council. The rezoning process involves a complete review
process and notification of neighbors within a specific distance.
• Gaffron noted there would be very few homes that would be affected by the CommonBond project.
• McMillan expressed concern about the timing of the project. People are concerned about tax increases.
They want to be able to stay in Orono and helping others to move into Orono may have a negative
perception. People have very little patience for government and the city may get a backlash from the
larger community in addition to the neighbors.
• White stated they will need to provide information and justification to the public and show financial
impacts.
• Novak suggested they could distribute flyers to the neighborhood presenting the project concept.
• Council agreed that CommonBond should submit an application that would follow the normal review
process, including Planning Commission and Council meetings.
• Novak stated an application could be submitted for the April Planning Commission meeting with Council
review in May and asked if the city would want a purchase agreement before the rezoning occurs. White
stated they could be worked on concurrently.
• McMillan commented that the public will be asking if the city has been doing financial due diligence.
CommonBond can provide an analysis.
• The Planning Commission reviews parking, etc. but not necessarily bigger issues.
• Council discussed experience of the Planning Commissioners, especially in relation to larger development
applications, and how Council could be involved.
• Curtis suggested that Novak attend the Comp Plan public hearing to answer questions about the
CommonBond proposal for the property that is being reguided by the fire station.

Orono City Council Chambers
• Gaffron stated that it will take about a week to get the Comp Plan to the Met Council following the public
hearing and Met Council probably won't act on it until May. CommonBond is about a month ahead of
where they should be in relation to the city's Comp Plan process.
• Council agreed that the CommonBond concept stage will take more than one Planning Commission and
Council meeting and the applicant should submit their application and allow the Planning Commission to
do as much as they can in one meeting to move the process forward.
• Gaffron expressed concern about the city's commitment to project. Both the applicant and staff need
direction about the city property before additional money is expended without Council support.
• McMillan questioned if the Council would move forward if grant deadlines were not an issue and
expressed concern about the timing given the city's workload in the next 3-6 months.
• Curtis noted that the City Attorney is a good partner in the team and will be very helpful. This is a typical
application and will follow the normal process. She suggested a meeting with Kellogg, Gaffron, Novak,
architects and herself on Thursday afternoon to discuss further details.
• White stated he would discuss a redevelopment agreement with the City Attorney.
• Murphy stated the Council's task is to determine if they want to move forward. White, Bremer and
Murphy were in favor of moving forward. McMillan had reservations about the timing of the project.
• Council will need to collectively determine how to handle transfer of the city property. Olson commented
that if the land is sold, the money goes to the general fund; and fees go to stormwater or sewer funds,
etc.
• Curtis distributed a brochure that Evelyn Turner put together entitled "Thinking of Buying a Lakeshore
Property in Orono?"
3. Emily Program Follow-up
• The City Attorney will not be available for the April 12 Council meeting.
• Curtis reviewed the direction staff will follow based on the Council meeting.
o Additional information will be obtained regarding traffic, parking, intensification of use, lighting, hours
of operation and what programs are operating out of the first floor.
o The City Attorney will review how the use fits into the definition of hospital and provide interim use
permit information.
o One or two council members, the City Attorney and staff will meet to discuss prior to the next Council
meeting.
• Murphy commented that the Peterson letter was well written. The process has been good and narrowed
down to a land use issue—either it fits or it doesn't.
• Code language should be reviewed and revised in the near future. The definition of a hospital from the
1968 code is a good example of how definitions can change over time.
• The data practices request was discussed. A copy of everything provided to the requestor should be kept
on file at City Hall. In addition, a complete set should be copied to the City Attorney and Mayor.
4. Zoning Prosecution Services
• Olson reviewed the change in zoning prosecution services suggested by Curtis last year.
• The City Attorney, Soren Mattick, is much more familiar with zoning issues than Ken Potts, even though
his hourly rate is higher.
• Council approved using the City Attorney, Soren Mattick, for zoning prosecution services.
• McMillan asked if there is any impact on the contract with Ken Potts. Olson confirmed there is no impact.
5. Comp Plan Discussion

Orono City Council Chambers
• Gaffron discussed optional dates for the Comp Plan hearing, which will be scheduled for Monday, March
29th since it was the best day for the majority of Council and Planning Commission Members.
• Although there is no obligation to notify individual property owners of the Comp Plan public hearing,
Council determined that property owners within 350'of any property that is affected by the proposed
Comp Plan changes should be notified. 350' is consistent with the notification requirement of other
zoning applications.
• White also suggested a newspaper article and will contact a reporter.
• Gaffron noted that Kyle Colvin was receptive to the numbers proposed in the recent letter to Met Council
regarding the Long Lake sewer interceptor.
6. MCWD Rules Update
• Mayor White and Gaffron attended a meeting regarding the proposed MCWD rule changes and were
pleased with the MCWD response to comments submitted by lake area cities. The MCWD seems to be
heading down a path that Orono can support.
• The Mayor of Mound has organized a meeting for Wednesday regarding the MCWD rules. No
representatives from Orono are planning to attend.
7. Joint Orono/Long Lake Council Meeting
• Long lake is proposing a joint meeting at the March 22"d Orono council meeting. Council suggested the
first Council meeting in April. Gaffron will confirm.
• Gaffron asked for Council input regarding the consultant engineering services for the TH 12 Turnback
project. Council had no objection to including the engineer for either Orono (Bonestroo) or Long Lake
(SEH) in the RFP process.
8. Police Matters
• The letter sent to Long Lake regarding police service was discussed.
9. Miscellaneous
• Metro Landscape Restoration and Clean Water Grant
o Olson explained that a grant is available through Hennepin County for landscape restoration and
clean water. Don DeBaere and Tom Kellogg have been working on a grant application for the March 8
deadline and have identified two project areas that could benefit from grant funds. The grant
requires a match of up to $25,000. Submittal of the grant application technically requires Council
authorization. Council approved submittal of the grant application.
• Election Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities (EAID) Grant
o Vee stated that last fall Council authorized submittal of a grant application for automatic door
openers for the Council Chambers and City Hall entrances as part of the Election Assistance for
Individuals with Disabilities Grant program to be used for polling place improvements. No metro
cities were awarded grant funds.
o A second round of EAID grant funds has been made available with a March 19 application deadline.
Staff has submitted a second application for the same program.
• Natural Shore Technologies, Inc. Workshop Proposal
o Vee explained that Natural Shore Technologies has approached the city with an offer to hold a
workshop about the benefits of native plants and native landscaping. The workshop includes a 90
minute presentation with 30 minutes for plant sales and would be held in the Council Chambers.
Information could be included in the Spring newsletter.

o Council was in favor of proceeding with the workshop.
• MCWD Long Lake Creek Restoration Project
o Gaffron met with the Watershed District about a project they want to do that involves some stream
bank restoration. Their plan is to do a feasibility study this year and design work next year. Council
was in support of the feasibility study, but directed staff to monitor the design plans as they proceed.
• Gaffron distributed a letter from Three Rivers Park District about a proposal to allow electric bikes on
regional trails. Council comments should be directed to Gaffron.
