April 26, 2017 File: 193803811 Attention: Mike Ericson City Administrator City of Centerville 188o Main Street Centerville, MN 55038 Reference: City of Centerville Local Water Plan Dear Mike, Attached is the proposal to update the City of Centerville's Local Water Plan (LWP). All communities in the seven -county metropolitan area are required to have a local water plan as a chapter of the City's local comprehensive plan, as detailed in new Minnesota Rules 841o.o16o (amended July 2015). Cities must adopt a LWP not more than two years before the local comprehensive plan is due. The previous LWP (formerly the City of Centerville Surface Water Management Plan) was updated in 2012. Therefore, under the new Minnesota Rules 841o.o16o, an update to the LWP is required as part of the local comprehensive plan by December 31, 2018. In order to facilitate review from the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Metropolitan Council, we will need to submit the updated Centerville LWP to these agencies by July 31, 2o18. After approval of the LWP by the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Metropolitan Council, the City must adopt and implement its plan within 12o days and amend its official controls within 180 days. To become familiar with new regulations implemented by the Rice Creek Watershed District, as well as the LWP update timeline, we attended the Rice Creek Local Water Plan workshop, along with City of Centerville Public Works Director Paul Palzer, and Lead Project Inspector Greg Burmeister. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the City of Centerville by completing an update to the LWP. Sincerely, STANTEC Mark Statz, PE City Engineer Design with community in mind 86
