LRCWD <br />Pf' RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT <br />June 19, 2019 <br />Jon Sevald <br />City of Mounds View <br />2401 Mounds View Blvd <br />Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />Re: 2040 Mounds View Comprehensive Plan Comments <br />Dear Mr. Sevald, <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) has reviewed the City of Mounds View's draft 2040 Comprehensive <br />Plan, received on May 21, 2019. The RCWD offers the following comment below: <br />1. Chapter 4 Parks, Trails & Community Facilities, Introduction, Goal 6, page 4-2: Please revise this goal for <br />clarity, such as: "Maintain, repair, and improve the City's stormwater system infrastructure as <br />necessary." <br />2. Chapter 5 Transportation, Planned Improvements, page 5-16: Recommend including the referenced <br />2018-2024 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as an attachment to the City's Comprehensive Plan. Please <br />ensure projects included in the City's CIP and LSWMP are described consistently, for example the City's <br />draft LSWMP currently states the City will "assess the need to remove deposited sediment" at Silver <br />View Pond, which differs from the CIP highlight on page 5-16. Please note: The City would need to <br />demonstrate compliance with RCWD and DNR requirements and the Wetland Conservation Act in <br />order to proceed with sediment removal at Silver View Pond. <br />3. General Comment on Chapter 6 Water Resources, Surface Water Management: RCWD received a <br />preliminary draft of the City's LSWMP on March 11, 2019. RCWD submitted comments on this LSWMP <br />on May 8, 2019. Please ensure the City revises its LSWMP to address RCWD's comments from May 8, <br />2019 and submit the revisions to RCWD for a formal review. The final version of the City's 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan must include the LSWMP that is approved by RCWD in its entirety in an added <br />appendix, as the City states on page 6-2. <br />The provided comments below offer minor spelling or grammatical suggestions: <br />1. Chapter 1 Introduction, page 1-1, first paragraph, last sentence: Recommend correcting "Compressive" <br />to "Comprehensive." <br />2. Chapter 1 Introduction, page 1-4, TCAAP text box, third paragraph: Recommend correcting "residual" <br />to "residential." <br />3. General comment: Several references throughout the plan show "Error! Reference source not found." <br />Recommend correcting these in the final plan version. <br />4. Chapter 4 Parks, Trails & Community Facilities, Existing Parks & Trail Network: <br />a. Page 4-2, first paragraph, first sentence: Recommend correcting the misspelling of Mounds <br />View. <br />b. Page 4-5, Mounds View Community Center text box: Recommend completing the unfinished <br />sentence in the last paragraph of the text box. <br />5. Chapter 7 Implementation, pages 7-2 & 7-3: Recommend correcting the spelling errors on these pages. <br />4325 Pheasant Ridge Drive NE #611 I Blaine, MN 55449 I T: 763-398-307o I F: 763-398-3088 I www.ricecreek.org <br />BOARD OF Barbara A.
