It <br />was found to be complete and consistent with Council polices. <br /> <br />Upon the City’s adoption of the Update, the Metropolitan Council’ action to approve <br />the Tier II Plan becomes effective. At that time, the City may implement its Update <br />to alter, expand or improve its sewage disposal system consistent with the approved <br />Tier II Sewer Plan. A copy of the City Council Resolution adopting its Plan needs to <br />be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for its records. <br />Surface Water Management <br />Reviewer: Judy Sventek, ES – Water Resources Assessment (651-602-1156) <br />The Update is in conformance with the WRMPP guidelines for local surface water <br />management. Mounds View lies within the Rice Creek watershed. The Rice Creek <br />Watershed District’s latest watershed management plan was approved by the Board <br />of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) in 1997. Mounds View prepared a local surface <br />water management plan (LSWMP) in February 2009 that was reviewed by Council <br />staff under separate cover. <br /> <br />The LSWMP was found to be consistent with Council policy and the Council’s Water <br />Resource Management Policy Plan. The plan was also found to provide an overall <br />framework for the City to successfully manage its water resources. <br />Advisory comment: <br />The Update states that the LSWMP will be updated in 2018. The City should be <br />advised that the Rice Creek Watershed District is in the process of updating its <br />watershed management plan. The City will be required to review and update, if <br />necessary, its LSWMP within two years of BWSR’s adoption of the Rice Creek <br />Watershed District’s updated plan, well before 2018. <br />CONSISTENCY WITH COUNCIL POLICY <br />Forecasts <br />Reviewer: Dennis Farmer, CD - Research (651-602-1552) <br />The Update is consistent with Council policies for forecasts for the City shown in <br />Table 1. The land use changes from 2010 to 2030 suggest that this fully-developed <br />community will identify land to accommodate the forecast increases for the same <br />period, 2010 to 2030, to include 600 additional households and 2,000 additional <br />jobs. <br />
