A RESOLUTION APPROVING
AMENDMENT #4 OF THE
2000-2020 CITY OF ORONO
COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
WHEREAS, the City of Orono is a municipal corporation located within
Hennepin County and within the planning jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Council; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 and
its amendments, and with Minnesota Statutes Chapters 462 and 473, the City of Orono in
November 2001 adopted a comprehensive municipal plan known as the 2000-2020 City of
Orono Community Management Plan (also referred to as the 2000-2020 CMP) to provide for the
orderly development of the City; and
WHEREAS, an integral element of the 2000-2020 CMP is the Comprehensive
Sewer Policy Plan, which identifies certain areas of the City as being within the Metropolitan
Urban Service Area (MUSA) in which connections to the metropolitan sanitary sewer system are
allowed; and
WHEREAS, the property at 25 Brown Road South within the City of Orono
contains a single family residence constructed in approximately 1940 and is approximately 3.0
acres in area, of which approximately 1.5 acres is disturbed soil unsuitable for septic system use.
The property is zoned RR -1 B 2 -acre minimum and currently has a failing septic system; and
WHEREAS, when the Fox Ridge pressure sewer project was installed in 1999
the property owners along the west side of Brown Road were offered the opportunity to connect
to the sewer. The owners of 5 and 15 Brown Road South requested inclusion; the then owner of
25 Brown Road South declined, since at that time the septic system was not failing. The
properties at 5 and 15 Brown were added to the MUSA in 2000. Since then the property at 25
Brown Road has changed hands and the septic system has failed. The new owner requested
sewer in 2005, which resulted in this amendment; and
WHEREAS, the property has limited available area for septic system
replacement or expansion; and
WHEREAS, in light of the above noted facts the Orono Planning Commission
pursuant to published and written notice to the affected and surrounding property owners held a

public hearing on February 22, 2005 and on a vote of 5-0 recommended that 25 Brown Road
South be added to the MUSA; and
WHEREAS, the Orono City Council on February 28, 2005 voted 5-0 to
conditionally approve an amendment of the 2000-2020 Community Management Plan (CMP) to
include 25 Brown Road South in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area subject to Metropolitan
Council review and approval, and directed City staff to prepare such an amendment and submit it
to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval; and
WHEREAS, on May 19, 2005 documentation for the proposed amendment was
submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval, and written notice was sent to
neighboring cities and other potentially affected governmental jurisdictions, requesting written
comment; and
WHEREAS, additional supportive information was submitted to the
Metropolitan Council as requested; and
WHEREAS, on January 25, 2007 the Metropolitan Council indicated to the City
via letter that the 2000-2020 CMP Amendment to include 25 Brown Road South within the
MUSA is in conformance with regional system plans for transportation and parks, is consistent
with the 2030 Regional Development Framework and Council policies, and is compatible with
the plans of adjacent jurisdictions. The letter indicated that while the amendment does not
conform to the Regional System Plan for Water Resource Management, because the property is
already developed with one single family home with a failing septic system, the amendment has
no impact on and does not represent a substantial departure from the regional water resources
system plan; and therefore the City may place the amendment into effect with no modifications.
The Met Council staff memo indicated approval would be subject to the condition that Orono is
required to participate in the Met Council's plat monitoring program, and must submit a copy of
the Orono -Long Lake Sewer Agreement upon its finalization.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Orono hereby amends the 2000-2020 City of Orono Community Management Plan Part 4C,
Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan (CSPP) by incorporating into the MUSA the property at 25
Brown Road South described in attached Exhibit A, finding that:
1. The amendment meets the intent of the basic goals, objectives and policies set forth in the
2000-2020 CMP.
