r Metropolitan Council Advocating regional economic, societal and environmental issues and solutions March 31, 1994 Mr. Marty Asleson , City of Lino Lakes 1189 Main Street Lino Lakes MN 55014 RE: City of Lino Lakes Comprehensive Plan Amendment Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide Metropolitan Council District No. 9 Metropolitan Council Referral No. 14120-8 Dear Mr. Asleson: The Metropolitan Council staff has reviewed the city's plan amendment received by the Council on March 21, 1994. We have determined that the proposed amendment is incomplete for Council review. The plan amendment proposes to amend the city's park plan to accommodate the relocation of an athletic complex. The plan amendment does not include information indicating that the city has adopted the Metropolitan Council's Interim Strategy to Reduce Nonpoint Pollution to All Metropolitan Water Bodies. The strategy requires local governments to 1) amend their comprehensive plan, land use controls and stormwater plan to control the quality of stormwater runoff and 2) adopt the revised statewide shoreland regulations. Adoption of these measures is required after January 1, 1993. In order to correct the problem of completeness so that the Council can proceed with its review of this amendment, the city must revise the amendment to incorporate policies that address the Interim Strategy (see attached model language) and indicate its commitment to adopt revisions to its land use controls by a date certain. The Council cannot act on the proposed amendment until it receives the needed information, and the review period for the plan amendment will not begin until the information has been supplied. If you have any questions about this matter, please contact Tori Flood, principal reviewer, at 291-6621 or Jim Larson, planner in the Water Resources Unit, at 291-6404. Sincerely, -e Dottie Rietow Chair DR:vef cc: David Hartley, Metropolitan Council District No. 9 Lynda Voge, Metropolitan Council Staff Tori Flood, Metropolitan Council Staff Mears Park Centre 230 East Fifth Street St.Paul,Minnesota 55101-1634 612 291-6359 Fax 291-6550 TDD 291-0904 An Equal Opportunity Employer Recycled Paper
