5. ACTION ITEMS
A. Proposed Ordinance 06-15
Mr. Asleson went through the background of the proposed Ordinance 06-15. The
ordinance was updated to conform to the new RCWD rule changes.
Katy Thompson, project manager in water resource from WSB, mentioned the six
minimum measures that a stormwater ordinance must address:
1. Implementation of proper erosion and sediment controls on sites over ½ acre
2. Requiring construction site operators to control erosion and sediment
3. Controls for chemicals, solid wastes and other wastes on construction sites
4. Procedures for site plan review of construction plans that consider potential
water quality impacts
5. Procedures for receipt and consideration of information submitted by the
public
6. Sanctions to ensure compliance
7. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
8. Implementation of post-construction runoff controls to the extent allowable by
state or local law
The board would like to see the new changes highlighted in the hand-out so that the
changes are easier to see.
Ms. Andrzejewski MOTION to recommend the approval of the proposed ordinance 06-
15. Motion was seconded by Mr. Sullivan. Motion carried 5-0
6. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan for Northeast Discussion
Katy Thompson, is looking at a new outlet at Peltier Lake for entire drainage area. The
northeast area is 1430 acres of land, and along 35E from Main Street at the southernmost
point to almost 80th Street on the north side. There should be no adverse changes to
Peltier Lake at all.
1. Preliminary design information for the conveyance system and outfall.
2. Allowable peak discharge rates and stormwater storage to be provided for
each sub-watershed within the City.
3. Analysis and description of stormwater treatment BMP’s to be provided.

4. Discussion demonstrating to downstream impacts will be mitigated or
eliminated.
5. Anticipated plan to utilize or abandon existing public drainage systems.
The proposed stormwater management plan for the NE area of Lino Lakes has been
submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed for comments.
The board agrees that the need is there but has concerns about this plan:
• Where is the water being rerouted and also what drain tile will be
abandoned
• Need to see better linkage between the AURA and this plan
• Is there going to be cost sharing with the city of Hugo
• Is there a change in the amount of stormwater discharged
• The present outlet to the lake needs work –will anything be done
• Other properties should not be impacted negatively in order for this
development to happen
The board would like to see a map with the Mattamy Development and the AURA
boundaries.
B. Updates
Herons
Mr. Asleson plans on getting out to the island and see what is happening with the
herons. There seems to be an increase in activity from last year.
