l - co vt� tocw DATE: September 15, 1998 TO: St. Anthony Village Mayor and City Council r cc: Mike Morrison FROM: St. Anthony Village Planning Commission RE: Recommended Changes to Draft Ordinance 1998-010 Regarding Storm Water Management Practices The Planning Commission recognizes the need for storm water management ordinances, both as a requirement of the Metropolitan Council (in order for them to approve our Comprehensive Plan), and, more importantly, to improve surface water quality in the City. We applaud the Council for taking the action of enacting specific storm water ordinances. We have reviewed model ordinance supplied by the Mptm Council and offer suggestions, both specific and general, below: SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS Sec 1675.06, Sub. 2 (a)4: If wetland delineations are to be required, we suggest that the term. delineation be defined in Sec 1675.04 as"'Delineation., A field survey of the soils, vegetation, and hydrology completed by a person competent to perform such wetland delineations and in accordance with the regulations of the Minnesota Wetlands Conservation Act of 1991 and the federal U. S. Army Corps of Engineers delineation manuals.' Sec 1675.06, Sub. 2 (a) 6: Since the entire City is served by City sanitary sewer, and installation of sanitary sewer facilities is not allowed, we recommend that the language after"development proposed" be deleted as it is unnecessary. Sec 1675.07, Sub. 1: This section calls for City Council action on the storm water management plan within 120 days of the application. This appears to be in conflict with the 60 day limit recently enacted by the Minnesota Legislature. Accordingly, we recommend that°120 days" be replaced by°60 days'. Sec 1675.08, Sub. 2: Replace"corrosion°with °erosion°: Sec 1675.08, Sub. 6 (a): Replace °0.5 ft/sec.'with 0.5 cu. ft./sec." Sec 1675.08, Sub. 6 (a)2: The current specifications present the risk of being in conflict with the NURP design standards of Rice Creek Watershed District. Replace 'Each sedimentation basin shall have a surface area of at least one percent of the area draining to the basin and at least three feet of depth and constructed in accordance with accepted design specifications.' with °Each sediment basin shall be designed to National Urban Runoff Protocol (NURP) standards.' Sec 1675.08, Sub. 6 (d): In the first sentence, replace "pole'with "pile" . Sec 1675.08, Sub. 7 (a):At the beginning of the second sentence, replace "The applicant may also make an in-kind...'with "If approved by the City, the applicant may also make an in-kind...'. This change will give the City control over the type and size of in-kind or monetary contributions. Sec 1675.08, Sub. 7 (a) 2: Replace"depressing"with °depressions°.
