Agenda Item 2,D
TO: Mayor and City Council
Planning Commission
FROM: James Lehnhoff, CitYPlanne~
SUBJECT: 2008 Comprehensive Plan Kick-off
2008 Comurehensive.Plan Overview
All cities in the seven county metropolitan area are required by the Metropolitan Council and
State Statutes to update their comprehensive plan every ten years. The Arden Hills
Comprehensive Plan was last completed and approved by the City and the Metropolitan Council
in 1998; therefore, the next Plan update is due at the end of 2008, Although the next
Comprehensive Plan update will presumably be in 2018, the Met Council has directed the
current update process to look to 2030.
The comprehensive planning process is a great opportunity to review the goals, policies, and
strategies from the 1998 Comprehensive Plan; evaluate the progress that has or has not been
made since 1998; determine what policies should continue; address new issues and concerns; and
incorporate the proposed TCAAP development into the wider community plan. The
Comprehensive Plan is not meant to solve every problem in the City or prescribe a specific
strategy for every issue; however, it will help the City set and prioritize policies and projects as
well as inform the overall long-term decision-making process for the City. The Plan also has
some strategic influence on Ramsey County, the Metropolitan Council, MnDOT, the Federal
Department of Transportation, and potential grant opportunities.

Plan Topics
State Statutes and the Metropolitan Council regulations require the Comprehensive Plan to
address the following topics (http://www,metrocounci1.org/planning/LPH/handbook.htrn):
. Land use;
. Housing;
. Transportation;
. Water resources management (water supply, stormwater, sewer system);
. Parks, open space, and natural resource protection;
. Plan Implementation;
While not required, the Metropolitan Council encourages cItIes to address economic
development, redevelopment, and intergovernmental coordination. At this time, we are hoping
to address these topics in some fashion in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
Although the comprehensive plans for each city in the metropolitan area will have a unique
flavor, the Metropolitan Council has published a number of policy plans that each city must
conform. These plans include the 2030 Regional Development Framework, the 2030
Transportation Policy Plan, the 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan, and the 2030 Water Resources
Management Policy Plan. These plans do have some influence on the Arden Hills plan;
however, we do not anticipate these plans having an adverse impact on the City's vision or
overall character. These requirements and potential impacts of these plans are sununarized in the
System Statement that the Metropolitan Council prepares for each city, which is attached to this
memo.
Schedulinl! and Public Participation
The update process is intended to be officially completed by December 2008. However, much of
the work will need to be completed by April 2008 because the City must provide neighboring
communities and the school district with at least six months to review the draft of our
Comprehensive Plan. Arden Hills will also be given a six month period to review our neighbor's
comprehensive plans and provide comments. Under certain conditions, the Met Council can
grant extensions to the planning process; however, it is our goal to stick to the schedule as much
as possible.
As with most planning processes, meaningful public involvement is an important component.
There are three community-wide open houses/workshops currently planned. The first
community-wide public meeting is set for Wednesday, August 8, 2007, from 6:30 to 8:30pm.
This will be a combined open house and workshop with a public participation role to review and

update the community's overall VISIOn. The exact format of the meeting is still being
determined. A notification for the meeting is going out in the upcoming City newsletter. Weare
hoping to use the North Heights Lutheran Church for that meeting.
The other two meetings are tentatively scheduled for October 2007 and March 2008. If there is a
town hall meeting in January 2008, an informational update of the comprehensive planning
process could be conducted then as well. In addition to the official community-wide meetings,
there will also be a number of work sessions with the City Council, Planning Commission, and
PTRC to develop policies and review plan content. These meetings will be open to the public.
The EDC, Communications Committee, and FP AC will also playa role in the planning process.
No additional work sessions are planned with the Council until August, which will be to review
the results of the August 8 public meeting. Meeting dates will be coordinated with and around
other meeting dates as necessary.
Comprehensive Plan Review Process
State Statutes and City Ordinances require the Planning Commission to hold the official public
hearing for the Comprehensive Plan review prior to the official City Council review. The public
hearing with the Planning Commission is tentatively set for April 2008. After the Planning
Commission review, the Plan is sent to the City Council. Once the City Council approves the
draft plan, it is then opened for comment from the neighboring communities and school district.
After the neighboring communities have reviewed the draft Plan, it is then sent to the
Metropolitan Council for review. Since the Council, Commission, and general public will be
involved in the development of the 2008 Plan, the official public hearing with the Planning
Commission should be more of a formality than a forum to make wholesale changes to the plan.
TCAAP
As you are likely aware, it still may be necessary to amend the 1998 Comprehensive Plan for the
proposed TCAAP development. While it may seem redundant to update the 1998
Comprehensive Plan while preparing the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the TCAAP land use plan
will likely need to be reviewed by the Met Council before the 2008 Comprehensive Plan is
completed. The 1998 Comprehensive Plan amendment for TCAAP will essentially be a
standalone document that focuses on the TCAAP project.
While TCAAP may be the largest influence on the Comprehensive Plan since 1998, it will not be
the sole focus of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Instead of having a plan that divides Arden

Hills between south of 96/10 and north of 96/10, the 2008 Comprehensive Plan will look at an
integrated Arden Hills.
Communication
The importance of keeping the public informed of the planning process and participation
opportunities cannot be understated. The City's website will be the primary source for the most
up-to-date 2008 Comprehensive Plan information. The Comprehensive Plan portion of the
web site can be directly accessed at www.ci.arden-hills.mn.us/compplan. Information will also
be published in the City's newsletter, the Shoreview-Arden Hills Bulletin, and on CTV.
Consultants
In March 2007, the City Council approved a contract with HKGi to help with the City's
Comprehensive Planning process. HKGi will play a large role in facilitating the community-
wide public meetings, and they will help write and provide guidance on parts of the Plan. Mark
Koegler will be the City's primary contact at HKGi.
The City of Roseville will be helping Arden Hills prepare the water resource management
section ofthe plan, which is a highly technical portion of the Plan.
Much of the required transportation portion of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan is technical in
nature and requires traffic modeling software and expertise that is not available in Arden Hills or
Roseville, Staff is currently preparing a Request for Quote for transportation services to
complete the transportation section ofthe Comprehensive Plan.

System Statement
City of Arden Hills
Following the January 2004 adoption of the 2030 Regional Development Framework, and
the more recent adoptions of the Transportation Policy Plan, the Water Resources
Management Policy Plan, and the Regional Parks Policy Plan, the Metropolitan Council
is issuing system statements pursuant to state statute.
Receipt ofthis system statement and the metropolitan system plans triggers communities'
obligations to review and, as necessary, amend their comprehensive plans within the next
three years. The complete text ofthe 2030 Regional Development Framework as well as
complete copies ofthe recently adopted metropolitan system plans are available for
viewing and downloading at httn:/lwww.metrocouncH.ora/olannina/framework/timeline.htm. Paper copies
are available by calling the Council's Data Center at 651-602-] ]40.
Metropolitan system plans are long-range comprehensive plans for the regional systems--
transportation and airports, wastewater services, and parks and open space, along with the
capital budgets for metropolitan wastewater service, transportation and regional
recreation open space. System statements explain the implications of metropolitan system
plans for each individual community in the metropolitan area. They are intended to help
communities prepare or update their comprehensive plan, as required by the Metropolitan
Land Planning Act:
Within three years following the receipt of the metropolitan system
statement, every local governmental unit shall have prepared a
comprehensive plan in accordance with sections 462.355,
subdivision 4,473.175, and 473.851 to 473.871 and the applicable
planning statute and shall have submitted the plan to the
Metropolitan Council for review pursuant to section 473.175.
Local comprehensive plans will be reviewed by the Council for conformance with
metropolitan system plans, consistency with Council policies and compatibility with
adjacent and affected governmental units.
The system statement includes forecasts at densities that assure regional growth is
achieved consistent with adopted policies. These forecasted densities help ensure
regional services and costly regional infrastructure can be provided as efficiently as
possible, and that development and growth within the metropolitan area occur in a
coordinated manner. The system statement also contains an overview of the
transportation and aviation, transit, wastewater, and regional parks system plan updates,
and system changes affecting each community.
Forecasts.
The following forecasts are part of the 2030 Regional Development Framework (adopted
January ]4,2004 and updated on August 24, 2005). They are used by the Council to plan
for its regional systems. Communities should base their planning work on these forecasts,
However, given the nature of long-range forecasting, the Council will maintain an on-
going dialogue with communities to consider any changes in growth trends or commuuity
expectations about growth that may have an impact on regional systems.
Forecast of population, households and employment:
Revised Development Framework
1990 2000 2010 2020 2030
Population 9,199 9,652 11,200 13 ,500 22,500
Households 2,904 2,959 3,800 4,600 8,000
Employment 10,929 12,429 15,200 17,100 20,000
The Council forecasts growth at appropriate densities for communities in order to protect
the efficiency of wastewater, transportation and other regional system investments, and to
help ensure the metropolitan area can accommodate its projected growth by the year
2030.
Growth management.
The Regional Development Framework sets an overall minimum residential deusity
standard of 3 to 5 units per acre in developed and developing areas where urban service is
located or planned. The average minimum standard of 3 units per acre is important to the
efficient use of regional systems, including wastewater system investments. Communities
that significantly over-utilize or under-utilize regional systems can cause inefficiencies in
the use of regional resources. Additionally, achieving housing at these density levels may
help communities meet their obligations under the Metropolitan Land Planning Act to
plan for and address their housing needs.
Geographic planning area.
The city of Arden Hills is designated as a "developed community" geographic planning
area in the 2030 Regional Development Framework. Geographic planning areas are
shown on the 2030 Planning Area map. The planning area sets overall densities that the
planned development patterns in your community can be expected to achieve. (If there
are discrepancies between the 2030 Framework Planning Area map, and the metropolitan
systems plans because of adjustments that occurred subsequent to the adoption of the
2030 Regional Development Framework document, communities should follow the
specific guidance contained in this system statement.)
As Arden Hills plans for current and future residents, it should focus on protecting
natural resources, ensuring sufficient public infrastructure, and developing transition
strategies to increase density and encourage infill development.
Specific strategies for developed communities are found on pages 24-25 of the 2030
Regional Development Framework.

System statement review process.
If your community disagrees with elements of this system statement, or has any questions
about this system statement, we urge you to contact your sector representative, Ann
Braden, 651 602-1705, to review and discuss potential issues or concerns.
The Council and local units and districts have historically resolved questions about
forecasts and other components ofthe system statement through discussions.
Request for hearing.
If a local govenunental unit or school district and the Council are unable to resolve
disagreements over the content of a system statement, the unit or district may by
resolution request that a hearing be conducted by the Council's Land Use Advisory
Committee or by the state Office of Administrative Hearings for the purpose of
considering amendments to the system statement. According to Minnesota Statutes
section 473.857, the request shall be made by the local unit or district within 60 days after
receipt of the system statement. If no request for a hearing is received by the Council
within 60 days, the statement becomes final.
System statement issue date:
The official date of the issuance of this system statement is September 12,2005.

Transportation System Statement-- Arden Hills
Key Changes in the Plan
The revised Transportation Policy Plan adopted by the Metropolitan Council in December 2004,
is the metropolitan system plan for airports and transportation with which local comprehensive
plans must conform. This system statement summarizes significant elements of the metropolitan
system plan and highlights those elements that apply specifically to your community. In addition
to reviewing this system statement, your community should consult the entire Transportation
Policy Plan, the 2030 Regional Development Framework and other pertinent regional planning
and policy documents, including the Aviation Policy Plan, to ensure your community's local
comprehensive plan and plan amendments conform to the metropolitan system plans. A PDF
file of the entire revised Transportation Policy Plan, the 2030 Regional Development
Framework, the Local Planning Handbook and other regional planning and policy documents of
the Metropolitan Council are available online at the Metropolitan Council's Web site:
http://www.metrocouncil.org/planning/frameworkltimeline.htm. The Aviation Policy Plan,
adopted in 1996, is not available electronically, but a copy can be obtained by coutacting the
Metropolitan Council's Data Center at 651-602-1 140.
The revised Transportation Policy Plan incorporates the following changes:
. The planning period has been extended from 2025 to 2030
. No significant increase in the level of transportation funding was assumed.
. The expenditures shown in the Transportation Policy Plan must be constrained by the level
of funding that is anticipated. However, the revised plan also exanllned two alternative
scenarios - what could be built if highway revenues were increased by 30% over the next 25
years, and what it would cost to provide enough additional capacity to hold congestion to the
1998 levels.
. The highway expansion projects shown in the plan have changed little since the 2001 plan,
due to this lack of additional resources. (See Fig 4-11 for highway expansion proposals.)
Metropolitan Highway System Plan investment priorities no longer contain the
"Improvements" category. Most improvement corridors are now designated "Management"
corridors.
. The new investment timing provisions are contained in the Plan. Table 4-11 contains
projects in Mn/DOT's Highway Work Plan (scheduled in 2009-2013) construction,
reconstruction, and bridge replacement greater $10 million. Table 4-12 contains Regional
Priority Project to move into the 10- Year Highway Work Plan, if there are resources
available in the 2005-2009 time period.
. Funds have also been allocated to obtain right of way for new crossings of the Mississippi
River between NW Hennepin and Anoka Counties and of the Minnesota River in the vicinity
of Chaska, Construction dollars for these projects are not foreseen before 2030.
. Chapter 5 contains new policies and procedures on managing the scope, cost and revenue
sources of projects to insure that sufficient resources are available to implement the region's
transportation priorities as shown in this plan. This includes procedures to manage the use of
T-t
Federal High Priority Project (HPP) funds and matching funds for these federal dollars, The
Council and MnlDOT will monitor scope and costs to ensure major projects continne to meet
regional objectives in a cost effective manner.
. The plan envisions significant improvements in the bus system, inclnding new express bus
routes, arterial conidor enhancements, suburb-to-suburb service, transit stations, park-and-
ride lots and other features. The goal is to increase transit ridership 50 percent by 2020 and
double it by 2030.
. The plan proposes additional express commuter bus corridors as well as enhancement and
expansion of existing bus service in freeway conidors. Within each corridor, express bus
routes will be supported by park-and-ride facilities, circulator networks, and "transit
advantages."
. The plan includes construction of five new "transitways" on dedicated rights-of-way by 2020
to help slow the growth in traffic congestion and improve mobility, and three additional
transitways by 2030. Unlike the 2001 plan, the technology for each conidor was not
identified in the Plan; rather the most appropriate and cost-effective mode for any given
corridor is best determined after extensive study ofthe individual conidor. Figure 4-2
(attached) shows the 2030 Transitway System and Express Commuter Bus System.
. The plan now includes detailed information on the facilities needed for transit passengers,
such as stations and park and ride lots, as well as facilities needed to support the transit
system, such as garages and bus layover sites. (Figures 4-5 and 4-6). Communities should
plan for development and redevelopment around stations and park-and-ride lots.
. Policy 18 (previously policy 17) on transportation and land use elements in local
comprehensive plans was rewritten and more detail provided in some strategies as to what
the Council expects in local comprehensive plans.
. The TPP now includes references to the regional aviation system as defined in the Aviation
Policy Plan. The 1996 Aviation Policy Plan remains in effect with the exception of the Land
Use Compatibility Guidelinesfor Aircraft Noise. These guidelines have been updated and
included in the TPP as Appendix H.
System Plan Considerations Affecting Your Community
1. Metropolitan Highways
Metropolitan highways and regional highway investment priorities for 2030 are shown in Figure
4-1 I. The city should refer to Tables 4-9 through 4-12 for major highway projects and proposed
timing. The following metropolitan highway located within Arden Hills is planned for
expansIOn:
. 1-694
2. Transit Routes and Facilities
Arden Hills is within the Metropolitan Transit Taxing District. Arden Hills is within Market
Area III. Service options for Market Area 1II include peak-only express, small vehicle
circulators, midday circulators, special needs paratransit (ADA, seniors), and ridesharing.
T-2
Arden Hills should identify existing transit service (available on the Council's website) and
desired future transit service options consistent with the Transportation Policy Plan's transit
system service areas (Table 4- I and Appendix M).
Arden Hills should list transit corridors (express commuter bus corridors and dedicated right-of-
way corridors) and identify opportunities to promote higher density initiatives along dedicated
transit corridors (see Figure 4-2).
Arden Hills should identify existing transit passenger and support facilities and future
improvements to and expansion of these facilities. Passenger and support facilities include
shelters, transit centers, stations, and park-and-ride lots. Demand for future park-and-ride spaces
was identified in the Park-and-Ride Facility Site Location Plan
(www.metrocouncil.org/parkridefacilitvsitelocationlplan.htm) in the area ofI-35W and Highway
10.
3. Aviation Plan and Facilities
The TPP/APP includes policies and text on protection of the region's airspace resources. The
airspace policy states that both Federal A viation administration (FAA) and MnDOT Aeronautics
safety standards must be a major consideration in the planning, design, maintenance and
operation of air transportation facilities and services. There are no existing or planned aviation
facilities within Arden Hills. However, each community has a responsibility to include airspace
protection in its comprehensive plan. The protection is for potential hazards to air navigation
including electronic interference. Airspace protection should be included in local
codes/ordinances to control height of structures, especially when conditional use permits would
apply, The comprehensive plan should include policy/text on notification to the FAA as
defined under code of federal regulations CFR - Part 77, using the FAA Form 7460- I "Notice of
Proposed Construction or Alteration". Instructions can be found at
www.faa.gov/arp/ace/part77.cfm.

Regional Transit Standards
Transit Market Areas
While several factors influence the propensity to use transit, the primary predictors of transit
productivity are density of origination and destination. There are four categories of transit
markets in the metropolitan area. Transit markets in the Twin Cities are identified usingfour
primary criteria: 1) population density, 2) employment concentration and job density, 3) trip
volumes and patterns, and 4) transit dependent segments of the population. Different types and
levels of transit services should be used for each transit market area.
The region has four distinct market areas. Transit Market Area 1 has the highest density of
population and employment, and is able to effectively support frequent regular route transit
service. Because this is the most productive transit service area in the region, it should also be
the area that receives a prioritized investment of transit resources.
Transit Market Area Area Characteristics
Areal Population Density ~ 15 or more persons/acre (or)
Job Density ~ 50 or more iobs/acre and 10,000 more contipuous iobs
Area II Population Density ~ 9 to 14.9 persons/acre augmented by contiguous High
Transit Dependencv areas
Area III Population Density ~ 5 to 8.9 persons/acre (excluding isolated pockets)
augmented by:
(a) Contiguous areas with Job Density ~ 10 to 49 jobs/acre and 3,000 or more
contiguous jobs
Or
(b) Contiguous areas with Major Travel destinations: 50 or more non-home
bound trips/acre
Area IV PODulation Density less than 5 persons/acre
Pockets Areas meeting at least one of the following:
I. Population Density ~ more than 5 persons/acre (isolated pockets only)
2. Job Density ~ 10 to 49 jobs/acre and 3,000 or more contiguous jobs
(isolated pockets only)
3. Major Travel destinations: 50 or more non-home bound trips/acre (isolated
pockets only)
4. High Transit Dependencv areas (isolated Dockets onlv)
Transit Market Area II has high to moderate population and employment densities yielding a
market area that is conducive to regular route operations and also other forms of transit service
delivery.
The lower population and employment densities of Transit Market Areas Ill, IV, and Pocket areas increase the
complexity and challenge of matching transit service to transit need. Due to the lower concentrated demand, it
becomes more difficult to provide efficient transit service at reasonable costs in these areas. In the longer term to
meet transit needs in suburban and rural settings, we need to promote the right type ofland use and development
densities that can sustain transit operations.
T-9
Transit Markets/Service Options
The table below identifies transit strategies that appear to be most appropriate for the different transit markets that
are in the metropolitan area. The service delivery strategies presented are only illustrative and not exhaustive.
Detailed analysis of specific communities within the metropolitan area may generate other creative means of
delivering effective transit services.

Transit Performance Standards
The primary performance standards to measure service are Subsidy per Passenger and
Passengers per In-Service Hour. Performance standards are used to evaluate the relative
productivity and efficiency of the services provided. To be responsible and dynamic, a transit
system must consistently measure and adjust service in unproductive routes and address
insufficient service in productive areas. The use of two regional peiformance standards provides
better insight into the operational and financial performance of individual routes and services.
Subsidy per Passenger
Subsidy or net cost is the difference between the total cost of providing service offset by revenue
Fom passenger fares. Subsidy per passenger represents the net cost divided by the number of
passengers using the service. This standard identifies services that are not operating within
efficiency ranges and focuses corrective actions for those services. Subsidy thresholds are
determined by calculating the non-weighted subsidy per passenger average within each service
classification plus fixed percentage deviations Fom that average.
Threshold No. level of Subsity per Monitoring Goal Possible Action
PassenaerPerrormance
1 20 to 35% over neer average For Quick Review Minor Modifications
2 36 to 60% over neer average For Intense Review Maior Changes
3 M ore than 60% over Deer average For Significant Change Restructure/Eliminate
Passengers per In-Service Hour
The passenger per in-service hour standard establishes a minimum threshold of peiformance for
light rail transit, big bus fixed route service, small bus fixed route service and paratransit
operations. Passengers per in-service hour represents the total passengers carried divided by
the in-service time. This measure is most often calculated at the route level, but can also be
measured less rigidly at a trip level.

Wastewater System Statement - Arden Hills
Key Changes in the Plan
The revised Water Resources Management Policy Plan, adopted by the Metropolitan Council in
March 2005, is the metropolitan system plan for metropolitan wastewater services with which
local comprehensive plans must conform. This system statement summarizes significant
elements of the metropolitan system plan and highlights those elements that apply specifically to
your community. In addition to reviewing this system statement, your community should
consult the entire Water Resources Management Policy Plan, the 2030 Regional Development
Framework and other pertinent regional planning and policy documents to ensure your
community's local comprehensive plan and plan amendments conform to the metropolitan
system plans. A PDP file of the entire Water Resources Management Policy Plan, the 2030
Regional Development Framework, the Local Planning Handbook and other regional planning
and policy documents of the Metropolitan Council are available online at the Metropolitan
Council's Web site: http://www.metrocouncil.orglplanning/frameworkloverview.htm.
The revised Water Resources Management Policy Plan incorporates the following changes:
. A coordinated approach to water supply planning in the metropolitan area with the goal of
providing for a sustainable, reliable and secure supply of high quality water to support orderly
economic growth and maintain the region's high quality of life.
. An approach to surface water management that ties together the control of pollution from
point and nonpoint sources. Local surface water management plans will be reviewed for
impacts on the regional wastewater system.
. A policy under which the Council will consider acquiring and operating local wastewater
treatment plants in rural growth centers upon request where enough growth is projected to
make it economically feasible for the Council to become involved.
. A plan that provides for cities to reduce excessive inflow and infiltration (III) of clear water
into the metropolitan sewer system. A financial assistance/surcharge program is included that
will provide a funding mechanism to help solve the 1/1 problem.
. A policy that continues to require inspections of individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS)
at least once every three years by trained individuals. In addition, the Council has added
further clarification on what is needed in a community's local ISTS management program.
W- I
System Plan Considerations Affecting Your Community
I. Metropolitan Sewer Service
Forecasts:
The forecasts of population, households, employment, and wastewater flows for Arden
Hills as contained in the adopted Water Resources Management Policy Plan are listed
below. These forecasts are for sewered development. The sewered housing forecasts were
estimated based on SAC data, annual city reports, current trends and other information
relating to your community. The wastewater flows are based on historical wastewater
flow data and the projected sewered housing and employment data.
Table I
Year 2010 2020 2030
Sewered Population 11,200 13 ,500 22,500
Sewered Households 3,800 4,600 8,000
Sewered Employment 15,200 17,100 20,000
Average Annual Wastewater Flow (MGD) 1.28 1.47 2.26
Allowable Peak Hourly Flow (MGD) 3.84 4.41 6.33
The flow projections represent the Council's commitment to a level of service, assuming
that the Council's underlying demographic forecasts are maintained. Adjustments may be
required based on verified growth or lack of growth. The city should contact Council
staff to discuss any proposed adjustments. Flow projections do not represent an allocation
of interceptor capacity except in the event a temporary system constraint occurs. The
community must strive to keep its wet weather flows within the allowable peak hourly
rate.
At a minimum the Council will reevaluate flow projections every five years. Moreover,
the Council will also continue to monitor each city's flow on a continuous basis and note
any significant changes. The Council will use these growth and wastewater flow forecasts
to plan all future interceptors and treatment work needed to serve your community. The
Council will not design future interceptor improvements or treatment facilities to handle
peak hourly flows in excess of the allowable rate for your city. Arden Hills, through its
comprehensive planning process, must decide the location and staging of development,
and then plan and design its local wastewater collection system to serve this
development. If you plan a total wastewater flow from your community in excess of the
Council's forecasts, your assumptions will be analyzed by the Council for their potential
adverse effects on the capacity or operation of the metropolitan system.
You should also note that urban development at overall densities that are substantially
lower than identified for your community in the Council's Growth Management Strategy
W- 2
Section of the Systems Information Statement will also be analyzed by the Council for
their potential adverse effects on the cost of providing metropolitan sewer service.
Description of Metropolitan Disposal System Serving your Community:
The attached map shows the location of the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS)
serving your community. The following paragraphs contain information on the existing
and planned metropolitan facilities serving your community.
The wastewater flow from the City of Arden Hills is treated at the Metropolitan WWTP
located within the City of St. Paul. There are many projects scheduled for the
Metropolitan WWTP through 2030. These projects will provide additional capacity at the
plant as well as improve its ability to meet required permit standards.
As can be seen from the attached map, the City of Arden Hills is served by multiple
interceptors. Interceptor I-RV-43I provides wastewater service to the Western portion of
the city and has an average design capacity of 0.78 mgd for the city. Interceptor I-RV-
432 has an average design capacity of 0.76 mgd for the city. Interceptor 8451 has an
average design capacity of 0.79 mgd for the city. Interceptor 4-NS-524 has an average
design capacity of 1,8 mgd for the TCAAP portion of the city. The city needs to verify its
long-term needs as part of its comprehensive piau update. If necessary, detailed
information regarding metropolitan facilities is available from the Council's Municipal
Services Section by calling the staff at (651) 602-1005.
Increases in growth rates and resulting increases in flow beyond those shown in Table I
may result in short-term capacity limitations within the MDS.
Inflow/Infiltration Reduction Goal
The Council's Water Resources Management Policy Plan states that the Council will
establish 1/1 goals for all communities discharging wastewater to the MDS. Communities
that have excessive III in their sanitary sewer systems will be required to eliminate the
excessive III by 2012, The Council will begin the implementation of an 1/1
assistance/surcharge program in 2007. The money collected from the communities with
excessive III may be used by those communities to remove 1/1 from their systems. The
Council will limit increases in service within those communities that have not met their
III goal( s) starting in 2013. The Council will meet with the community and discuss this
alternative before it is implemented. This time period may be shorter if excessive III
jeopardizes the Council's ability to convey wastewater without an overflow occurring. In
this case the Council may limit increases in service within those communities that have
excessive III immediately upon notification to the community. The Council plans to
implement a wastewater rate demand charge program, starting in 20] 3, for those
commnnities that have not met their III goals. These revenues will be used to help defray
W - 3
the cost of providing attenuation within the MDS to recover the capacity lost to excessive
III.
The III goal established for the City of Arden Hills is the allowable peak hourly flow rate
as shown in Table I and varies based on annual average flow. The Council's metering
program shows that the city's 2004 annual average flow at meter M051 was 0.47 mgd
thus the current III goal for this connection point from your community is an allowable
peak hourly flow of 1.63 mgd. The current annual average flow at meter M052 is 0.046
mgd thus the current III goal for this connection point from your community is an
allowable peak hourly flow of .19 mgd. The current annual average flow at meter M054
is .2 mgd thus the current III goal for this connection point for your community is an
allowable peak hourly flow of 0.76 mgd. The current annual average flow at meter M059
is 0.33 mgd thus the current III goal for this connection point for your community is an
allowable peak hourly flow of 1.2 mgd.
Specific Requirements for the Sewer Element ofthe City's Comprehensive Plan
The Council has completed a review of the current information in the city's existing
comprehensive plan and has determined that the following information is needed to
update the sewer element of the city's comprehensive plan/local sewer policy plan:
. A sewer map showing the city's existing service area and proposed trunk sewer
system through 2030 and ultimate sewer service area,
. A table showing the projected population, households, employment and flow forecasts
by interceptor for the city for 2010,2020 and 2030.
. A description of the city's III program. What efforts does the city make in the
maintenance of its sanitary disposal system? Does the city prohibit the connection of
sump pumps, rain leaders and passive drain tile from the sanitary sewer system?
2. Surface Water Management
In 1995, Minnesota Statutes section 473.859, subd. 2, was amended to make the local
water management plan required by Minnesota Statutes section 103B.235 a part of the land
use plan of the local comprehensive plan. Section 103B.235 provides that a local water
management plan should be prepared once a watershed plan for the area has been
approved. Section 103B.235 also generally identifies the content requirements for the
plan. The local water management plan must be submitted to both the watershed
management organization within whose watershed the community is located and to the
Metropolitan Council for its review. For guidelines on the contents of local water
management plans, please refer to Appendix B2-b ofthe Council's Water Resources
Management Policy Plan.
Council records indicate that Arden Hills is located entirely within the Rice Creek
Watershed District (see attached map). The most recent version of the Rice Creek
watershed plan was approved by BWSR in 1997. Arden Hills completed its update to its
W- 4
local water management plan in 200 I. The city should be advised that they will need to
review their current local water management plan against the policies and required
elements of the Water Resources Management Policy Plan. Ifthere are discrepancies, the
city will need to revise its local water management plan. The plan should be submitted to
the Council for its review concurreut with the review by the watershed district. Failure to
have an updated local water management plan consistent with the local surface water
management plan content requirements section in Appendix B2-2 ofthe Water Resources
Management Policy Plan will result in a metropolitan system impact.
The Council also updated its priority lake list that was first developed in the 1980s as part
of the Water Resources Management Policy Plan update. There are 2 priority lakes in
Arden Hills, Lake Johanna and Lake Josephine. The Council uses the priority lake list to
focus its limited resources. The list is also used in the environmental review process.
Where a proposed development may impact a priority lake, the project proposer must
complete a nutrient budget analysis for the lake as part of the environmental review
process.
Advisories
1. Water Supply Planniug
Minnesota Statutes section 473.859, subd.3 requires cities with a municipal water supply
system to develop a water supply and conservation plan and submit it to the Council for its
review. Communities serving more than 1,000 people are required by Minnesota Statutes
section 103G .29 I to submit the emergency and conservation plan to the Department of
Natural Resources. The guidelines for water supply plan updates were released in 2005.
Arden Hills needs to update its local water supply plan consistent with the new guidelines
and submit the water supply plan to the Council for its review, For contents oflocal water
supply plans, please refer to Appendix B2-c of the Council's Water Resources
Management Policy Plan.

Regional Parks System Statement
City of Arden Hills
Key Changes in the Plan
The 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan adopted by the Metropolitan Council in June 2005 is the
metropolitan system plan for regional recreation open space with which local comprehensive
plans must conform. This system statement summarizes significant elements of the metropolitan
system plan and highlights those elements that apply specifically to your community. In
addition to reviewing this system statement, your community should consult the entire 2030
Regional Parks Policy Plan, the 2030 Regional Development Framework and other pertinent
regional planning and policy documents to ensure your community's local comprehensive plan
and pIau amendments conform to the metropolitan system plans. A PDF file of the entire 2030
Regional Parks Policy Plan, the 2030 Regional Development Framework, the Local Planning
Handbook and other regional planning and policy documents ofthe Metropolitan Council are
available online at the Metropolitan Council's website:
http://www.metrocouncil.org/planning/framework/timeline.htm.
To meet the needs of the region in 2030, the 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan includes the
following changes to the current regional parks system.
,/ Designate two existing county parks and three trails as "regionaI."
· In Washington County, Pine Point Park
· In Ramsey County, Tony Schmidt Park
· In Ramsey County/St. Paul, three regional trails - Trout Brook, Summit A venue, and
Lexington Parkway
,/ Acquire and develop three new parks. Search areas include:
. Northwestern Anoka County
. Empire Township in Dakota County. Please note that the Metropolitan Council approved a
park master plan and a boundary for the park has been established.
· Blakeley Township in Scott County
,/ Acquire and develop seven new trails. Search areas include:
. The Crow River, in Carver County and Three Rivers Park District
. Both a north/south and an east/west trail traversing Dakota County
. An east/west trail traversing Scott County
. In Three Rivers Park District, a trail connecting parts of Baker Park Reserve; a trail
connecting Baker and Crow-Hassan Park Reserves; and a trail connecting Crow-Hassan
and Elm Creek Park Reserves
,/ Acquire land within the current boundaries of 30 existing parks and four trails.
,/ Acquire natural-resource lands adjacent to six existing parks aud six existing trails.
P-I
To meet the needs of the region beyond 2030, the Council proposes four new regional parks or
reserves and three new trails be acquired. These parks and trails would not be developed until
after 2030, but the opportunity to acquire them will likely be lost if the lands aren't identified and
purchased before 2030. The goal is to complete the acquisition of the regional park system and
secure opportunities for future generations. Search areas include:
~ Parks - Miller Lake area and Minnesota River Bluff and Ravines in Carver County;
southwestern Dakota Couuty; aud Cedar Lake area in Scott County.
~ Trails - northwestern Anoka County; central to south Carver County; and Minnesota
River to Spring Lake in Scott County.
