us�ng roadways traversing the center of Lake
1'Ii��netonka (County Roads #15 & #19) and re-
routing traffic north of rZound connecting ��100

Cour_ty "'ransp�,rtation Committee, that preservation
� o� Lalce ilinnetonka is the primary underlying
�oal of Orono°s recently adonted Comprehensive

a� well as land use policies play an important

areas contiguor��.� to ito Creating standards at
