COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 24, 1995 Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has provided a model ordinance for communities to use as a guide in this process. The City's existing Floodplain Management Ordinance was adopted in 1988. A model ordinance was given to the City Council in their packets. This model ordinance reflects recommended language contained in the DNR model ordinance and has been reviewed by Tom Hovey, DNR Area Hydrologist. Some minor differences between the City's draft ordinance and the DNR Model concern language consistency with the Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance. The City Council approved the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 12 - 95 at their June 26, 1995 meeting. Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 12 - 95 and that a summary of the ordinance be published to meet the publication requirements. Council Member Bergeson explained that City Council members received a copy of a letter sent to Mayor Reinert by the DNR outlining two (2) areas of the proposed ordinance that should be modified to match the State model ordinance. He expressed concern regarding these items and asked if the SECOND READING of the ordinance could be delayed until further information is available about the two (2) changes. Ms. Wyland explained that the letter from the DNR specifically addresses the Shoreland Ordinance and not the Flood Plain Management Ordinance. She explained that the City Council recently adopted a Shoreland Ordinance and the DNR is suggesting two (2) modifications of that ordinance. Ms. Wyland noted that there have been no changes to the Flood Plain Management Ordinance since the FIRST READING was adopted by the City Council. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 12 - 95 and dispense with the reading. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schumacher asked Ms. Wyland to put the Shoreland Management Ordinance on the next Council agenda so that the changes recommended by the DNR can be discussed by the City Council. Ordinance No. 12 - 95 can be found at the end of these minutes.
