Attachment A <br /> e. Sustainability Impact: Fiscal sustainability of City programs and services <br /> f. Ramsey County and the Joint Development Agency are stakeholders in this project. <br /> 12. Performance-based Stormwater Management Strategies <br /> a. Project Lead:Assistant City Engineer <br /> b. The City currently has minimum green space requirements on a per-parcel basis within <br /> the Zoning Code. With the development of TCAAP,the City is interested in adopting a <br /> performance-based approach to parcel-specific stormwater management that might <br /> include rain gardens, permeable surfaces,or low impact landscaping methods. With <br /> the goal of achieving high value stormwater collection and on-site retention the City <br /> seeks to develop green space requirements that are allow a more flexible approach. <br /> c. What are best practices related to on-site stormwater collection and management? <br /> What other communities use a performance-based approach to stormwater <br /> management in their zoning regulations? Are their barriers to implementation,such as <br /> long-term maintenance issues? <br /> d. Deliverable: Recommendations for adoption of performance-based zoning regulations <br /> related to green space and on-site stormwater management. <br /> e. Sustainability Impact: Promotion of sustainable landscaping and more effective use of <br /> green space. <br /> f. Rice Creek Watershed District and Ramsey Conservation District. <br /> 13. Wetland Setbacks <br /> a. Project Lead: City Planner <br /> b. The City currently does not have wetland setback requirements. With the development <br /> of TCAAP it is necessary to create regulations that protect the natural wetlands in the <br /> area. <br /> c. How do other communities regulate wetland setbacks? Does the DNR or Rice Creek <br /> Watershed District have recommendations for best practices? What mechanisms are <br /> available for long term protection of wetland buffer areas? <br /> d. Deliverable: Recommendations for zoning code revisions related to the creation of <br /> wetland setbacks. <br /> e. Sustainability Impact: Improved water quality and wetland protection. <br /> f. Rice Creek Watershed District and the Department of Natural Resources. <br /> 14. Stormwater Facility System Review and Mapping <br /> a. Project Lead:Assistant City Engineer <br /> b. The City has a system of stormwater facilities including outflow pipes and ponds. The <br /> City does not have an efficient process in place to track maintenance and maintenance <br /> schedules of the system. The project would include field inspections of stormwater <br /> facilities, creating a system to identify, rank, and classify each facility, and locating each <br /> facility with the City's handheld GPS device, and mapping the system. The City also <br /> requires a workflow plan for regular maintenance of the system. <br /> c. What types of stormwater facilities does the City have within its system? How are these <br /> facilities best classified, identified, and ranked? What maintenance schedule is required <br /> to keep the system functional? <br /> d. Deliverable: Completion of in-field inspections of stormwater system, GPS locates and <br /> the creation of a GIS table to identify and rank each facility, creation of a system-wide <br /> map, recommendations for workflow schedules to maintain the system. <br />
