I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I '1 2.11.02 performance has been documented in various studies, but must be constructed properly and maintained. Water quality impact reduction was detailed in the Lake Josephine project previously discussed in the Plan. Direct water quality improvement was achieved through the use of an existing wetland/pond to treat the incoming storm water. The economic benefit or cost for the Lake Josephine project has not been evaluated, although methods exist for such an analysis. A positive benefit has been achieved versus a "no build" approach that could have been taken. Loss of recreational usage (swimming, boating, and aesthetics) would likely have continued to decrease in Lake Josephine in the absence of this project. Amendment Procedures The Arden Hills Local Stormwater Management Plan is intended to extend through the year 2011. For the plan to remain dynamic, an avenue must be available to implement new information, ideas, methods, standards and management practices. Persons either residing or having business within the City shall be able to request amendment proposals at any time. Request for Amendments Written requests for plan amendment are submitted to the City staff. The request shall outline the need for the amendment as well as additional materials that the City will need to consider before making its decision. Staff Review A decision is made to the validity of the request. Three options exist; 1. reject the amendment 2. accept the amendment as a minor issue, with minor issues collectively added to the plan at a later date 3. accept the amendment as a major issue, with major issues requiring an immediate amendment. In acting on an amendment request, staff shall recommend to City council whether or not a public hearing is warranted. Council Consideration The amendment and the need for a public hearing shall be considered at a regular or special Council meeting. Staff recommendations should also be considered before decisions on appropriate action(s) are made. Public Hearing, Council, and RCWD Approval This step allows the public input based on the public sentiment. Council shall determine when the public hearing should occur in the process. Based on the public hearing, Council could approve the amendment, and, if necessary, refer the amendments to the Watershed District Board for comment and approval.
