2008 Mounds View Comprehensive Plan <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Chapter 3: Land Use <br /> <br />3-26 <br />Surface Water Management <br /> <br />Mounds View adopted a Surface Water Management Plan in 1992 and is currently updating this plan <br />to be officially adopted in 2009. The City is completely within the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br />The watershed district adopted an overall plan for water management in 1990 and most recently <br />amending the plan in 2000 in accordance with the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) <br />second-generation criteria. The BWSR approved the second-generation plan in September of 1997 <br />and it was adopted by the RCWD in October of 1997. The City continues to use these documents to <br />supplement city planning and to guide site-specific detailed analysis. <br /> <br /> <br />Solar Access Protection <br /> <br />Mounds View acknowledges the importance of the concept of the protection and development of <br />access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Mounds View is a fully developed city with <br />established buildings, setbacks, and mature trees. Therefore, there are limited opportunities to <br />impact the existing development. The City did a review and update of its zoning code as part of the <br />1998 Comprehensive Plan implementation strategy, and the City considered the issue of solar access <br />protection when making these code revisions. <br /> <br /> <br />Historic Site Preservation <br /> <br />There are no historically significant or potentially historically significant sites in Mounds View. <br />Therefore there is no need for any special measures to ensure the protection of historically <br />significant properties. The City will consider this potential issue during the normal development <br />review process. <br /> <br /> <br />Aggregate Resources <br /> <br />There are no aggregate sites in Mounds View. Therefore, there is no need for the City to adopt any <br />special measures to ensure the protection of these resources. <br />
