G.2 Approve Resolution and Letter of Support for Boundary Changes in the Browns Creek Watershed District and the Rice Creek Watershed District At its October 1, 2018, meeting, Council tabled this item at the request of City Administrator Bryan Bear to allow the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) time to properly notify the affected property owners. RCWD had analyzed and identified certain discrepancies in the common boundary between the Brown's Creek Watershed District (BCWD) and the RCWD. The discrepancies arise because of differences between the boundaries as established by State order and the hydrologic boundaries as determined by modern mapping information. RCWD had conducted hydrologic boundary field investigation in January, 2018, and has developed a revised boundary for inclusion in a petition to the Board of Water and Soil Resources. MN Statute requires the petition be approved by the governing body and each watershed district having jurisdiction of the territory proposed to be changed. BCWD has reviewed and agreed with the revised hydrologic and legal boundary changes. The RCWD was requesting the City approve a resolution approving the letter of concurrence for changes to the watershed district boundaries. The RCWD Board of Managers held a public meeting on October 24, 2018, where one resident came forward at the meeting with questions on the overall process and her concerns regarding setback/ zoning requirements.
