July 20, 1995 • <br /> Page 2 <br /> Doug Bergstrom <br /> 3. What are the issues and process for complying with the water management planning requirements? <br /> I have talked to Gary Oberts of our Water Management Staff (291-6484) and he is willing <br /> to meet with the City. I suggest that you contact him directly about coming out to look at <br /> your current plans, ordinances and general situation to provide suggestions on how to <br /> "scope-out" the work that you may need a consultant to complete. <br /> 4. What role might the Metropolitan Council play is developing and canying out service plans for the <br /> community--specify plans for the library? <br /> In the process of developing the comprehensive plan, the community may identify <br /> significant current or future service or facility needs not usually provided by the city (such <br /> as a library, school, supported housing, long-term care, etc.). This is an ideal time to meet <br /> with the county, school district, Met Council and/or other groups to get this information <br /> into their own respective planning process. <br /> At this time, the Council's focus is on its legislative authority (Metropolitan Land Planning <br /> Act--local municipalities' comprehensive plans; operating transit and wastewater services; <br /> planning for major highways and regional parks; and implementing Metropolitan Livable <br /> Communities Act, etc... There is no specific activity in regard to a regional library system, <br /> although it's been proposed by the Citizen's League and others. Carole Peterson, on the <br /> Council staff(291-6559), is very knowledgeable about regional library issues. Since your <br /> plan update is being done to produce a document addressing the issues and needs of St. • <br /> An you may desire to go beyond the Met Council's requirements and current review <br /> authority. The Council has no authority in some areas and may not comment on plan <br /> segments such as library planning which your city may feel is an important local issue. In <br /> addition, including such information in your plan helps to inform the Council about <br /> emerging local issues that could have future regional impact. <br /> S. What other first ring suburbs are now or have recently revised their plans? What are they <br /> including? <br /> I am attaching a copies of the table of contents from the Roseville and Cottage Grove <br /> Comprehensive Plans which were recently received and are currently under review. <br /> Roseville is a first-ring suburb and Cottage Grove is a developing community. <br /> I hope that this provides the information and answers the questions which we could not fully <br /> respond to at the Tuesday meeting. If you have other questions or desire additional data or <br /> information please call me directly at 291-6317. Council staff looks forward to working with the <br /> city of St. Anthony as it revises and updates its long-range comprehensive plan. <br /> SincerelyPC.
