Lino Lakes Local Water Management Plan 53 November 2018 – WSB Project No. 02988-500 5. LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM 5.1 Implementation Activities The implementation activities identified in this section of the Plan were taken from previously conducted planning and/or resource management documents or they are new activities developed as part of the planning process. The goals and policies listed in Section 3 represent the ideal list of implementation activities with full funding, which is currently beyond the City’s resources. As a means of prioritizing and aligning the efforts with a more attainable funding level, or until additional funding becomes available, the activities identified in Table 5-23 represent a synthesized and focused list of actions for city implementation. Appendix D provides a list of the proposed city-wide and RMU-specific actions in the plan that are a basis of the implementation cost table shown in Table 5-23. Implementation activities are categorized as follows: • City Wide Actions – Includes implementation activities that apply on a broader scale, such as annual maintenance and MS4 compliance • RMU Specific Actions – Includes implementation activities that have been identified for the three highest priority RMUs: Reshanau, Marshan, and Clearwater Creek • Miscellaneous RMU Actions – Includes implementation activities that have been identified for the remaining RMUs Table 5-23. City-Wide Implementation Plan Action No. Actions identified by Issue Category Additional Issue(s) Addressed Goals Addressed Policies Addressed WATER RATE & QUANTITY Establish and adopt Better Site Design (BSD) standards for new development, and provide guidance for staff, City Boards, and City Council, including: • Encourage use of stormwater treatment trains; • Protect high priority wetlands, their biological condition, and their function as high quality habitat; • Enhance groundwater hydrology and protect groundwater-dependent natural resources; • Provide natural flood reduction; • Integrate water quality improvement components in the landscape; and • Revise maximum allowable impervious surface requirements for low- and medium-density residential districts. • Incorporate surface water reuse options into new developments and public facilities.
