The city is now required to complete a second-generation local surface water <br />management plan consistent with the updated Rice Creek Watershed District Plan that they adopted in <br />1997. Current State Statutes also require that local surface water management plans be an integral part of <br />the City’s comprehensive plan. The Metropolitan Council has completed a “completeness” review of the <br />city’s comprehensive plan and has commented that the Local Surface Water Management Plan must be <br />submitted. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION: <br /> <br />SEH, the city’s engineering consultant, has completed a draft updated Local Surface Water Management <br />Plan. A copy of the draft plan has been placed in your in-baskets. As part of the update Mounds View will <br />formally adopt the rules, goals, and policies of the Rice Creek Watershed District as its own. Rice Creek <br />Watershed District will continue to have authority over NPDES Permits and the requirements of the <br />Wetland Conservation Act for the City of Mounds View. <br /> <br />The draft plan was presented to the Planning Commission at their May 3rd, July 5th, and July 19th meetings. <br />At the July 19, 2000 Planning Commission meeting the Planning Commission approved the attached <br />Planning Commission Resolution No. 622-00 which recommends that the City Council approve an <br />updated Local Surface Water Management Plan. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council accept the plan and approve release of the plan for review and <br />comment by the Metropolitan Council, Rice Creek Watershed District, and other agencies. Copies of the <br />plan will also be available for public review and comment. After comments are received a public hearing <br />will be scheduled and then the City Council will be asked to formally adopt the plan. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________________ <br />Rick Jopke, Community Development Director <br /> <br /> <br />N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\CITYCOUN\07-24-00 City Council LSWMP Report.doc <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
