Stat. § 473.864, Subd. 2). The Council reviews plans to determine: <br />• Conformance with metropolitan system plans, <br />• Consistency with other adopted Plans of the Council, and <br />• Compatibility with the Plans of other local jurisdictions in the Metropolitan Area. <br />The Council may require a local governmental unit to modify any plan or part <br />thereof if, upon the adoption of findings and a resolution, the Council concludes that <br />the Plan is more likely than not to have a substantial impact on or contain a <br />substantial departure from metropolitan system plans (Minn. Stat. § 473.175, Subd. 1). <br /> <br />Each local government unit shall adopt a policy plan for the collection, treatment <br />and disposal of sewage for which the local government unit is responsible, <br />coordinated with the Metropolitan Council's plan, and may revise the same as often <br />as it deems necessary. Each such plan shall be submitted to the Council for review <br />and shall be subject to the approval of the Council as to those features affecting the <br />Council's responsibilities as determined by the Council. Any such features <br />disapproved by the Council shall be modified in accordance with the Council's <br />recommendations (Minn. Stat. § 473.513). <br />CONFORMANCE WITH REGIONAL SYSTEMS <br />Regional Parks <br />Parks and Trails <br />Reviewer: Jan Youngquist, CD – Regional Parks System Planning (651-602-1029) <br />The Update is in conformance with the Regional Park’s Policy Plan (RPPP).
