Meeting Date: 12/21/94 <br /> Agenda Item: P 4 <br /> CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> ITEM DESCRIPTION: A proposed resolution adopting a comprehensive <br /> plan amendment for an interim strategy for <br /> nonpoint source pollution control <br /> SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commission <br /> Susan Hoyt, City Administrator <br /> REVIEWED BY: David Nyberg, Engineer <br /> EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: The Metropolitan Council is requiring <br /> cities to adopt an interim strategy for nonpoint source pollution <br /> control for future development. The proposed interim strategy, <br /> suggested by the Metropolitan Council, is similar in many <br /> municipalities. The strategy basically adopts two documents <br /> related to nonpoint source pollution control. These include the <br /> Department of Natural Resources "Statewide Standards for <br /> Management of Shoreland Areas" dated July 3, 1989 and Protecting <br /> Water Quality in Urban Areas by the Minnesota Pollution Control <br /> Agency. <br /> Since these standards apply to new development only and since <br /> Falcon Heights is fully developed, these standards have little <br /> impact on the city. Nevertheless, they are a required element in <br /> the city's comprehensive plan. <br /> David Nyberg, an engineer who specializes in these water quality <br /> issues, describes the regulations and the impact of this proposed <br /> amendment to the city's comprehensive plan in the attached memo. <br /> The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed <br /> comprehensive plan amendment on November 28, 1994. No one spoke <br /> at the public hearing. The Planning Commission unanimously <br /> recommended adopting the proposed amendment. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> A. Letter from David Nyberg dated 21 November 1994. <br /> B. Proposed resolution for a comprehensive plan amendment for an <br /> interim strategy for nonpoint source pollution control <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Adopt resolution amending the comprehensive <br /> plan to the city council. <br />
