June Minutes Page 2 06/01/94 . Ms. Drewery asked the Planning Commission to refer to the green handout. There are several residential projects which don't need to be seen by RCWD. In the case of commercial sites, drainage plans are required for new homes on a lot which has been platted and not split. There are a number of other categories with regard to wetlands. Some of these include public or private drainage ditches. Another category, Shoreland Alteration, includes topographical changes such as filling or grading. Reviewing set backs on a property are part of the City's responsibility; Although, any bridge or culvert construction requires a permit from Rice Creek Watershed District. The District does review City projects where a permit is required such as stormwater issues. The Board feels if the District is issuing the permits, it is being done right. Until the ordinances have been updated, the City can't be released to do permits themselves. No Cities within the district have been released to issue permits themselves. If Arden Hills is . looking for the district to permit, the staff needs to be aware of what should be directed to the district. If Rice Creek Watershed District's decision hasn't been delivered, the approvals should be passed contingent on the approval from Rice Creek Watershed District. Mr. Fritsinger stated the importance of Rice Creek Watershed District's review first, in case the drainage issues would impact the decision of the Planning commission. In the future, all work with developers need to meet Rice Creek Watershed District's standards. Ms. Drewery asked the City to review the plans first so the district knows that the City wants this development before they start to draw up the detailed drainage and stormwater plans. It doesn't make sense to do all this work if the City doesn't want the development. Except for extensive wetland and drainage issues, the District thought the City may want to do a preliminary review of plans. Mr. Fritsinger asked for the Planning commission's comments. .
