CITY OF ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN SECTION 5 Page 3 1. Any development or redevelopment within the City of St. Anthony Village will be required to control runoff to the extent necessary to be consistent with this plan. Redevelopment projects shall provide stormwater controls such that the critical 1-year, 2-year and 100- year storm events existing condition peak discharge rates are not increased following site development. 2. The design of all major stormwater storage facilities shall attempt to accommodate a critical duration 100-year storm event. These facilities include lakes, ponds, and their outlets. New storm sewer systems shall be designed to accommodate a critical duration, 10-year storm event, provided that the downstream system has adequate capacity or storage available to accommodate this design. Street ponding may be necessary to provide flood protection to residents. 3. Any new or redevelopment within the City will maintain two feet of freeboard over the 100-year high water elevation or one foot of freeboard over the emergency overflow elevation, and the lowest building floor elevation. 4. The City of St. Anthony Village prefers the development of municipal drainage systems whenever possible to the development of private drainage systems. Design of drainage systems shall attempt to accommodate existing drainage systems, including tile lines. Existing drainage systems will be protected and drainage perpetuated. 5. The City requires as-builts of all ponding areas and designated emergency overflows. 6. The City will continue to promote and encourage water conservation and reuse to reduce downstream stormwater discharges. 7. The City of St. Anthony Village recognizes the Rice Creek Watershed District’s jurisdiction and will have the RCWD continue to implement RCWD rules through plan review and permit issuance for stormwater management within that area of the City that lies within RCWD jurisdiction. 5.4. Wetlands 5.4.1. Goal Achieve no net loss of wetlands, including acreage, functions, and values. Where practicable, improve the functions, values, biological diversity, and acreage of existing wetlands. 5.4.2. Policies 1. Wetlands will be protected within the City boundaries to ensure that the value of wetlands in relation to their surface water quantity benefits is not significantly impacted by development. 2. The City will protect wetlands to ensure that their fish and wildlife, environmental quality, and socio-economic values are maintained. 3. The City of St. Anthony Village designates the Rice Creek Watershed District as the local governmental unit responsible for wetland management in conformance with the Wetland Conservation Act. The City will retain the LGU authority within the MWMO boundaries. 4. For wetland impacts within the RCWD for wetlands not regulated by the WCA and not determined to be exempt, wetland mitigation at a one to one ratio is required by the RCWD. 5. The City will utilize wetland inventory information developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Minnesota DNR. 6. Prior to any site development activities, the City will require a site inspection to identify the location and extent of any wetlands present. The proponent of the site development shall have the burden of providing to the City a report showing the on-site inspection and delineation of all wetland areas by a qualified consultant. If any wetland encroachment is proposed, wetland values and impacts will be evaluated on a case by case basis in conformance with the rules associated with the WCA of 1991. 7. Any review of a proposed wetland encroachment will initially address the issue of
