CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: May 15, 2001 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Jennifer Chaput, City Planner SUBJECT: Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance (Schedule) Planning Case#01-20, City of Arden Hills Request The City of Arden Hills requests a first review of a model Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance at the June 11, 2001 City Council meeting and a public hearing and adoption at the July 9,2001 City Council meeting. Background On November 27, 2001, the City Council passed a resolution stating their commitment to adopt an Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance by July 1, 2001. The commitment and adoption of this Ordinance was a requirement of the Metropolitan Council for approval of the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update. As conditions of approval of the Comprehensive Plan update, the City Council must also adopt a Water Management Plan by the end of the year. The consultants on this project, SEH, will be meeting with staff this month to start that process. Finally, the City Council is also required to review and adopt the final Comprehensive Plan by the end of this year. That is, the Comprehensive Plan needs to be amended and re-reviewed to ensure that it now incorporates all changes that were required over the last three years of review with the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council suggested that the City obtain a model Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance from Ramsey County for review. This Ordinance is currently being circulated through the appropriate staff for review and comment for presentation at the next Council meeting. Recommendations Staff recommends that the proposed Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance be presented to the City Council at the June 11, 2001 City Council meeting for a"first read". If acceptable at that time, a public hearing will be held at the City Council meeting a month later(July 9, 2001) for "second read" and adoption of the Ordinance.
