Stantec CITY OF CENTERVILLE -2018 LOCAL WATER PLAN PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Rice Creek Watershed District Nick Tomczik, Permit Coordinator/Wetland Specialist 4325 Pheasant Ridge Drive NE, Suite 611 Blaine, MN 55449 (763) 398-3079 3.7 LAND USE Figure 5 illustrates land cover within the City, based on the MnDNR's Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS). The City is predominantly a residential community. Changes in land use are anticipated in the future as construction of high and medium density or single family residential development continues. The City's comprehensive plan lays out these proposed areas for development or redevelopment. Of note, is the City's plan to redevelop the downtown area with a mixed use (retail and high density housing) style project. This plan will likely be revisited with the 2018 comprehensive plan update. Figure 6 shows existing land use within the City. Figure 7 shows 2030 future land use within the City. These figures are taken directly from Figures 8 and 15, respectively, of the Centerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan. 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 portion of the City. There are a few scattered acreage style lots (11) and two commercial/industrial sites 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 most the developed part of the community. The remaining neighborhoods are scheduled for connection to City water when their streets need major repair. These neighborhoods include LaValle Drive and portions of the downtown area. Scattered lots in neighborhoods served by City water remain unconnected. The city is working on policies to encourage hook-up to the municipal water system with a goal of all city residents being connected. There are approximately 1,265 water connections to the watermain system as of December 2017, which includes residential as well as commercial, industrial, and institutional. The remainder of the City is serviced by private wells, which totals approximately 147, down from 255 in 2012, and 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 Lakes' system. The surface water drainage system includes street gutters, storm sewers, culverts, swales, channels, marshes, ponds, 3.9 47
