Stantec CENTERVILLE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT September 2012 There are a few small areas that are expected to develop as residential in the future, particularly in the southern portion of the City. Additionally, the City has constructed an industrial park in the east central part of the city which will most likely build out in the near future. 3.8 UTILITY SYSTEMS The public utilities within the City include the storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water system. The Metropolitan Council Environmental Service (MCES) public sanitary sewer system services all of the developed part of the City. There are a few scattered acreage style lots (11) which remain on Individual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS). Proposed maintenance and inspection of these systems is addressed in Chapter 6. City code requires connection to the municipal system with any redevelopment proposal. The water distribution system now services a majority of the developed part of the community. The remaining neighborhoods are scheduled for connection to City water when their streets are in need of major repair. These neighborhoods include: Center Oaks 2, Royal Meadows, and portions of the downtown area. Scattered lots in neighborhoods served by City water remain unconnected along Peltier Lake Drive, MiII Road, and Brian Drive. There are approximately 1,096 water connections to the watermain system as of April, 2012, which includes residential as well as commercial, industrial, and institutional. The remainder of the City is serviced by private wells, which totals approximately 255, down from 360 in 2004. These numbers were compiled from City utility billing records. The water system for the City of Centerville includes one water tower, two wells, and a controlled interconnection with the City of Lino Lake's system. The surface water drainage system includes street gutters, storm sewers, culverts, swales, channels, marshes, ponds, lakes, etc. Recent development in the City has incorporated the natural drainage patterns of the land whenever possible. However, since the area is very flat, detention ponds were created in many developments to control runoff. 3.9 UNIQUE AREAS The Rice Creek Area Chain of Lakes Park Reserve is located in the northwest corner of the City. Accounting for approximately 10% of the area of the City, 149 of the 2,500 acres of the park are located within Centerville city limits. The park has many recreational facilities including picnic areas, boat launches, canoe launches, fishing piers, campgrounds, a nature center, a heritage lab, a prairie restoration project, cross country ski trails, a swimming beach, a playground, and a golf course. The Metropolitan Council's classification as a regional park requires that 80% of the park remain in its natural state. 3.10 ZONING AND FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT As part of the comprehensive planning process, the City adopted a Future Land Use Plan (Figure 7). By law, the City is required to change zoning to match the Future Land Use Plan within one year of the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. The City has now adopted the new Zoning Map. This means that the Future Land Use Map (Figure 7) and the Official Zoning Map One Team. Infinite Solutions. 3.7 26
