. How much will the cost of street reconstruction projects increase? . How much will the additional maintenance and future reconstruction of these facilities cost the City and impact the residents? . How effective are the proposed infiltration practices in linear applications (road projects)? . With limited right- of- way, already crowded with utilities, where can we find the room to install infiltration trenches? Do these trenches take precedent over existing utilities in the right - of- way? What about street trees and pathways in the boulevards? . Why are the proposed CRWD standards much higher than the existing state and national standards under which the City currently operates? Is it true that these standards will be the highest in Minnesota? . The new rules go into effect in January 2006 as proposed by the CRWD, will the district deny permits for the Roselawn reconstruction project that has been under development since June 2005, with bidding anticipated during the winter? . How much will the cost of private development on properties larger than one acre increase? . Can the CRWD supply additional information regarding the effectiveness of the proposed engineering solutions to meet the storm water infiltration rules? . What about the timeliness of reviews and approval of permits? CRWD has indicated that they will adhere to the 60 day rule for review; however, they will not review a project until it has been approved by the City Council. This could be disastrous for City street reconstruction projects. Once the plans have been approved by the council, we advertise for 3 weeks and usually start construction in an additional 3 weeks. The timeline would delay our projects start date by at least an additional 6 weeks. . How will storm water volume be controlled where infiltration does not occur because of the clay-based soils that occur in a majority of Roseville? . Has a cost benefit analysis been performed by CRWD to determine the relationship between water quality improvements in the Mississippi River and the public and private costs incurred by the City and property owners in the city. WHEREAS, City staff believes the new deadline for comment on the proposed rules of December 15, 2005, by the CRWD does not provide sufficient time for the City and other affected jurisdictions to submit meaningful comments regarding any technical, engineering, or cost benefit analysis of the draft rules and technical standards; AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Roseville respectfully requests the CRWD to delay adopting any rules and standards until such time as the CRWD establishes a technical advisory committee comprised of representation from all jurisdictions within the district for the purpose of reviewing the draft rules and finding mutually acceptable rules and standards that will facilitate the needs of both the CRWD, the City of Roseville and other jurisdictions within CRWD. The motion for adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Councilmember Schroeder and upon a vote being taken the following voted in favor thereof: Kough, Maschka, lhlan, Schroeder and Klausing, and the following voted against the same: none. WHEREUPON, the said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
