September 17, 2015 <br /> Mike Ericson, City Administrator <br /> City Of Centerville <br /> 1880 Main St <br /> Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> RE; 2016 System Statameits <br /> Dear Mr. Ericson: <br /> The Metropolitan Council recently adopted Thrive MSP 2040 and updated regional system and <br /> policies plans, including the 2040 Transportation Policy Plan, the 2040 Regional Parks Policy <br /> Plan, the 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan, and the 2040 Housing Policy Plan. Accordingly, <br /> the Council is now issuing system statements as required by state statute. <br /> The system statement for your community, enclosed, shows how the changes to the Council's <br /> regional system plans affect your community specifically. The distribution of System Statements <br /> triggers the timeline for updating your local comprehensive plan, due to the Council by <br /> December 31, 2018. <br /> To help you with updating your plan, we are excited to introduce our updated Local Planning <br /> Handbook (http://metrocounci1.org/handbook.aspx), which has transitioned into a web-based <br /> guide. The updated Handbook provides clear and specific direction on the minimum <br /> requirements for updating your plan, customized data and maps in the Community Pages <br /> section, and an array of tools and resources to make it easier to complete your comprehensive <br /> plan update and focus on value-added planning for your community. <br /> You also find an electronic version of your system statement on your Community Page in the <br /> online Local Planning Handbook. Additionally, system statements for all communities can be <br /> found on our website at http://metrocouncif org/Communities/Planning/Local-PlanninQ- <br /> Assistance/System-Statements.aspx. <br /> If you have questions about your system statement or any of the materials at the links provided, <br /> please contact Ryan Garcia, the Council sector representative from our Local Planning <br /> Assistance staff assigned to work with your community, at 651-602-1832. <br /> We look forward to working with you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 6*Akdz-- <br /> Beth <br /> Reetz, Director <br /> Community Development Division <br /> ."
