PAUL, MINNESOTA • 55155-40 <br /> DNR INFORMATION <br /> (612) 296-6157 <br /> <br /> April 9, 1991 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Catherine Iago, Zoning Administrator <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> 1450 West Highway 96 <br /> Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> Dear Ms. Iago: <br /> <br /> Enclosed is a new model floodplain ordinance which most closely meets <br /> your community's needs. As you are probably already aware, the <br /> Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Minnesota DNR have <br /> negotiated this model ordinance to reflect the changes in federal <br /> regulations which were actually effective in 1986. Because of these <br /> changes every community in the NationaZ Flood Insurance Program is <br /> being required to amend their floodplain zoning ordinances. <br /> Please note that the new model is also available (at no charge) on <br /> floppy disk for a personal computer. Available formats are Microsoft <br /> Word and ASCII. <br /> If you prefer to amend the existing ordinance we would have to review <br /> it more closely to be sure there are no omissions. Although state <br /> regulations allow 6 months to amend your ordinance, federal <br /> regulations only allow 90 days from the receipt of this letter for <br /> amendments to non-compliant ordinances. It is suggested that you <br /> attempt to meet the federal deadline in order to avoid any possible <br /> sanctions imposed by FEMA. Because state law also requires that a <br /> proposed local ordinance be reviewed and approved 30 days prior to <br /> adoption, please send any drafts being considered for adoption to Area <br /> Hydrologist Molly Shodeen in 60 days. <br /> Please feel free to contact your Ms. Shodeen or myself (612-296-9224) <br /> if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> ?jA_kkj <br /> Judy Boudreau <br /> FEMA-CAP Hydrologist <br /> <br /> cc: Mayor Thomas Sather <br /> Molly Shodeen, Area Hydrologist (612-772-7910) <br /> John Linc Stine, Regional Hydrologist <br /> <br /> <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ~ <br /> ~12- <br />
