August 11, 2008
Consideration of Resolution No. 08 -82, Approving
Statement of Concurrence, VLAWMO /RCWD
Boundary Adjustment
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
The Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) is clarifying the
watershed boundaries with neighboring watersheds, Rice Creek Watershed District
(RCWD) and Ramsey Washington Metro Watershed District. State Statute Chapter
103B.215 provides a procedure for updating watershed boundaries. Over the last year
VLAWMO has been working with municipal staff and the other watersheds to come to a
consensus on the updated boundary. The proposed boundary adjustments are based
on hydrologic information (topography, storm sewer maps, etc.) and assigning split
parcels to one watershed or the other.
Following the review VLAWMO is requesting the following changes for Lino Lakes:
1. Transfer of 19.31 acres in the City, currently within VLAWMO to the Rice
Creek Watershed District.
2. Transfer of 65.61 acres in the City, currently within RCWD to VLAWMO.
The affected area is currently comprised of the following land uses:
Land Use

Single Family Residential
44.5
52.4
Agricultural
30.33
35.7
Tax Forfeit
10.09

Totals

City staff has reviewed the proposed changes and find that they are consistent with the
hydrologic boundary based on our review of topographic information and storm sewer
and drainage information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 08 -82.
