2 9. Chapter 7 Local Water Management Plan, Goal 9.1, Policy b, page 7-4: This policy is inconsistent with the LWMP in Appendix A and should be revised to be consistent. 10. Chapter 7 Local Water Management Plan Figures: Figures 7-1, 7-3, and 7-7 are not the same versions that are contained in the RCWD-approved LWMP in Appendix A and should be removed or revised to be consistent. Figure 7-10 and a few of the issues listed on the figure are not contained or described in the approved LWMP in Appendix A. If Figure 7-10 is utilized, RCWD recommends amending the LWMP and the City’s CIP table to include and address the issues on Figure 7-10. 11. Chapter 7 Local Water Management Plan Existing and Potential Future Water Resource Related Problems, page 7-9: The water resource-related issues in this section are not presented consistently with the RCWD- approved LWMP in Appendix A and should be removed or added to the LWMP. For example, the references to the public drainage systems are not consistent with RCWD’s knowledge and management of the systems. RCWD has recently completed repairs on the public drainage systems in the City, noted on page 7-9, including ACD 10-22-32 and portions of ACD 55 and ACD 72 per the RCWD-approved repair reports. Any alteration to the ditch system or abandonment of a system will need to be completed through the petition process in M.S. 103E and RCWD will need to be engaged early in the process, as multiple steps and public noticing will be required statutorily. Please revise this section to be consistent with the language contained in the LWMP in Appendix A or remove this section. 12. Chapter 12 Implementation, Local Water Management Plan, #2, page 12-6: Recommend removing or revising “alternatives.” It is unclear what “alternatives” is referencing. The provided comments below offer minor suggestions: 1. Chapter 1 Introduction, Regional Planning Context, first paragraph, last sentence page 1-3: Recommend removing or revising the comprehensive plan deadline since it has passed. 2. Chapter 3 Land Use, Medium Density Residential, last sentence, page 3-9: RMP should be defined as “Resource Management Plan” for consistency. 3. Chapter 3 Land Use, Growth Management and Utility Staging, second paragraph, last sentence, page 3-13: Recommend revising this sentence for clarity. 4. Chapter 7 Local Water Management Plan, Goal 2.2, Policy a, page 7-2: The “V” in VLAWMO is missing and should be added. 5. Chapter 7 Local Water Management Plan, Goal 7.1, page 7-3: Recommend removing the blank policy line under policy d. 6. Chapter 7 Local Water Management Plan, Summary of Implementation Section, second paragraph, page 7-10: Recommend removing this paragraph to remove duplicative information. 7. Chapter 12 Implementation Tools, Capital Improvement Plan, last paragraph, page 12-2: Recommend removing or updating “by the end of 2018.” 8. Appendix A Local Water Management Plan: This plan version is consistent with the version RCWD approved except the order of Figures 2-13 and 2-14 should be switched to be in numerical order. The RCWD appreciates the opportunity to comment on the City’s Comprehensive Plan and looks forward to collaboration in the future.
