Item No. 4 Staff Report No. Meeting Date: 07/17/00 Type of Business: WK WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mayor and City Council Members From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Local Surface Water Management Plan Update Date of Report: August 29, 2018 BACKGROUND: Mounds View adopted a Local Surface Water Management Plan in 1992 in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. The city is now required to complete a second-generation local surface water management plan consistent with the updated Rice Creek Watershed District Plan that they adopted in 1997. Current State Statutes also require that local surface water management plans be an integral part of the City’s comprehensive plan. The Metropolitan Council has completed a “completeness” review of the city’s comprehensive plan and has commented that the Local Surface Water Management Plan must be submitted. DISCUSSION: As you may recall the updated comprehensive plan recommended by the Planning Commission indicated that an update of Mounds View’s Local Surface Water Management Plan was a necessary step listed in the implementation element of the plan. SEH, the city’s engineering consultant, has completed a draft updated Local Surface Water Management Plan. A copy of the draft plan has been placed in your in-baskets. As part of the update Mounds View will formally adopt the rules, goals, and policies of the Rice Creek Watershed District as its own. Rice Creek Watershed District will continue to have authority over NPDES Permits and the requirements of the Wetland Conservation Act for the City of Mounds View. The draft plan was presented to the Planning Commission at their May 3rd and July 5th meetings. This matter is scheduled for further discussion at the July 19, 2000 Planning Commission meeting. It is anticipated that the Planning Commission will formally recommend an updated Local Surface Water Management Plan to the City Council at that time. Representatives from SEH will be present at the July 17, 2000 work session to review the draft plan with the City Council. Following the completion of the review by the Planning Commission this matter will be brought back to the City Council. At that point the City Council will be asked to approve release of the plan for review and comment by the Metropolitan Council and Rice Creek Watershed District. Copies of the plan will also be available for public review and comment. When those comments are received a public hearing will be scheduled and then the City Council will be asked to formally adopt the plan. ______________________________________ Rick Jopke, Community Development Director N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\CITYCOUN\07-17-00 City Council LSWMP Report.doc
