<br />Memorandum - Proposed Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance <br />June 27, 2001 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Conservation District. They are the organization that would be responsible for <br />reviewing, editing, and approving any erosion and sediment control plan. They <br />are also the organization that would review, edit, and approve any variance to the <br />Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation District Handbook for any applicant <br />in the City of Arden Hills. <br /> <br />This ordinance is set up so that the City of Arden Hills issues a permit to any applicant who has <br />demonstrated they have received either approval or variance from the Ramsey County Soil and <br />Water Conservation District. <br /> <br />The Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation District Organization Review Authority <br />ensures that the applicant has complied with the Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation <br />District Handbook for specifics on erosion and sediment control practices. The City of Arden <br />Hills then permits the applicant based upon knowledge that the plan has followed the <br />requirements or has been granted a variance from the requirements by Ramsey County Soil and <br />Water Conservation District. <br /> <br />In Section 8.5-6, Review of Permit Application, I refer you to Sections A, B, and C. The City of e <br />Arden Hills has made it permissive rather than mandatory that a permanent easement can be <br />dedicated to the City for future erosion and sediment control needs. We have also made it <br />discretionary on our part the assignment of permanent maintenance of easements. The City has <br />also established an escrow amount from the developer to cover any costs related to the erosion <br />and sediment control plans that are not completed or maintained by the developer. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance 331, an Ordinance requiring Erosion <br />and Sediment Control for Land Disturbance Activities within the City of Arden Hills. A <br />summary should also be ordered and published. <br /> <br />e <br />
