O PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Joyce Pruitt Subject: Proposed Ordinance No. 589 Date: August 2, 1996 Recently, the City of Mounds View was informed that the City's floodplain ordinance is not considered compliant by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. (This agency has been delegated responsibility to review local flood plain ordinances for compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program.) On March 21, 1994, conditional approval was given, contingent upon required corrections being made and adopted by the City. Not all of the changes have been made. Staff met with a representative from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to discuss required amendments to the current Flood Plain Ordinance. To bring the Mounds View 0 Floodplain Ordinance into compliance the following changes will need to be made: A Flood Insurance Notice and Record Keeping section must be added to the current ordinance. This amendment will be provided to you for the Planning Commission meeting. This proposed amendment is required to come into compliance. A nonconforming uses section and a section on travel trailers has been strongly encouraged to be added as well. These two sections are optional, so the City has some discretion on whether these two sections should be added or not. The DNR has set a deadline of September 01, 1996 for submittal of all materials,Tbic-is a priority project for Staff to move on quickly since without the submission of the required materials a community may face the risk of suspension from the National Flood Insurance Program. Resolution No. 471-96 supporting an amendment to the Floodplain Ordinance has been drafted for your review. The Flood Plain Ordinance, with proposed changes, will be provided to you at the August 07, 1996 Regular Meeting for your review. If you have any questions regarding this ordinance change, please do not hesitate to contact me at 784-3055. III
