Q:\community_dev\2009\111609\1116_2009_414.doc Page 5 of 16 Mounds View is within the Metropolitan Transit Taxing District and lies within transit Market Area III. Service options for Market Area III include peak-only express, small vehicle circulators, midday circulators, special needs paratransit (ADA, seniors), and ridesharing. Advisory comment: The Council’s fixed route and commuter services provider is known as “Metro Transit”, not “MCTO”. Also, Metro Mobility service is provided by the Metropolitan Council, rather than Metro Transit. Aviation Reviewer: Chauncey Case, MTS – Systems Planning (651-602-1724) The Update is in conformance with the TPP and consistent with Council Aviation policies. Advisory comment: The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is updating the long-term comprehensive plan for the Anoka County-Blaine Airport. The Council’s expectation is that the City will participate in that planning effort and also be a member of the Joint Airport and Community Zoning Board that prepares a safety zoning ordinance for the facility. Water Resources Management Wastewater Service Reviewer: Kyle Colvin, ES – Engineering Services (651-602-1151) The Update is in conformance with the Water Resources Management Policy Plan (WRMPP). The Update summarizes the City’s vision for the next 20 years or to year 2030. It includes growth forecasts that are consistent with the Council’s forecasts for population, households and employment. The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services currently provides wastewater treatment services to the City. Wastewater generated within the City is conveyed to and treated at the Metropolitan Council’s Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant in St. Paul. The City is provided wastewater conveyance service through interceptors 4-NS-523, 4-NS-524 and 8656. The Update projects that the City will have 6,000 sewered households and 9,400 sewered employees by 2030. The Metropolitan Disposal System with its planned scheduled improvements has or will have adequate capacity to serve the City’s growth needs. The Update provides sanitary flow projections in 10-year increments. The rationale, for the projections is provided in the Update and determined appropriate for planning for local services. Mounds View is not currently identified by the Council as a community impacted by wet weather occurrences. However, the Update does include a description of an I/I reduction plan which includes televised inspection and regular maintenance of the sanitary sewer system. In 2004, the City began an inspection program looking for illicit sanitary sewer connections. The program was completed in 2006.
