process is done legal descriptions of the watershed boundaries will match the county <br />database designation of watershed. <br />5. BWSR goes through its Notice artd review process. This will take roughly 60 days if no <br />significant questions arise. If approved, BWSR orders the boundaries changed. This <br />Notice will go to affected parties including Ramsey and. Anoka Counties. <br />Phase 2 — Final local ratification through the Joint Powers Agreement. <br />1. With the county databases and neighboring watershed district legal lines updated, <br />VLAMWO is free to update the legal description of its boundary. <br />2. The legal description is an Appendix to the. VLAWMO Joint. Powers Agreement. <br />After BWSR approval of the boundary changes the UPDATED VLAWMO legal <br />description will be sent to all JPA members for approval as a recommended JPA <br />amendment. <br />Two ways to look at the Boundary change <br />1. The draft Petition. to BWSR is required by State Statute .(legal description change). <br />2. However, changes to the county database will reflect the watershed assignment for each <br />parcel: Watershed assignment identifies watershed jurisdiction and service area as well <br />as establishing which watershed the property owner will support with taxes or storm <br />sewer utility fees. <br />The parcel list of properties affected by the BWSR petition (change the watershed districts legal <br />description) does not completely overlap the list of parcels needing a change in the counties <br />database watershed designation. Attachment C is a map of the affected parcels, "Types of <br />Changes Requested" and shows this difference visually. Electronic copies of the parcel lists or <br />maps are available by contacting the VLAWMO office. <br />Yellow and orange parcels are reflected on the parcel lists in the Petition. Yellow parcels will <br />not need the county to change their watershed designation as the county database already has <br />them in the right watershed. Many of the parcels are colored orange and are both in the Petition <br />and will need the counties to correct their databases. Red colored parcels are NOT included on <br />the petition because the watershed district legal description already had their in the right <br />watershed or they are `orphans,' with no watershed assignment. All red and orange parcels will <br />need to be updated on the county databases once the corrected watershed boundary is approved <br />by the state. <br />Please contact me at the VLAWMO office if you have any questions, 651-204.6073 or <br />S t cp han i c.o.mcnam ara(,)v Iawnio. org. <br />Sincerely, <br />i/'L/ <br />Stephanie McNamara, Administrator <br />Attachments: A, draft Statement of Concurrence <br />B, draft Petition for Boundary Change <br />C, Map of different types of change <br />
