356 <br />native vegetation, outfalls, and when failures are observed, they could alert staff, <br />357 <br />since part of Roseville's quality of life was its water resources. Member Stenlund <br />358 <br />suggested that the entire community could serve as storm water observers, not just <br />359 <br />staff. <br />360 <br />events were in sing with emergency overflow routes more well- documented. <br />361 <br />Mr. Leaf advised that this Plan update was intended to move toward an "e- Plan," <br />362 <br />rather than a paper binder sitting on a shelf, making it more available to citizens. <br />363 <br />Mr. Leaf advised that the intent was to have the watershed map available on line <br />364 <br />and you could click on a particular pond and pull up other documents. Mr. Leaf <br />365 <br />suggested that some of the educational and outreach items mentioned by Member <br />366 <br />Stenlund could be incorporated into that effort, an vailable to commissions, <br />367 <br />residents and staff. <br />368 <br />types and amounts for 100 year events. <br />378 <br />Member DeBenedet observed, with respect to some problem flooding areas, that <br />379 <br />some areas of Roseville had developed prior to anyone being made aware of that <br />380 <br />nuisance. ,Member DeBenedet noted that this infrastructure design was based on <br />381 <br />a fairly low fre uency of rain events; however, now flood protection for 100 year <br />382 <br />events were in sing with emergency overflow routes more well- documented. <br />383 <br />However, Member DeBenedet questioned if the City of Roseville, and /or its <br />384 <br />neighborhood residents had a good idea of those routes to ensure that they <br />385 <br />remained open for drainage during major rain events. Member DeBenedet <br />386 <br />suggested, as part of this Plan update, to identify those locations where high <br />387 <br />flooding had been experienced the past, or where a potential existed. Member <br />388 <br />DeBenedet questioned the status of the U of MN Study commissioned by <br />389 <br />MnDOT subsequent to the 1987 "super storm," to review storm data and rainfall <br />390 <br />types and amounts for 100 year events. <br />391 <br />392 <br />Ms. Bloom advised that the updated "TP 40" will be released soon, and spoke in <br />393 <br />support of Member DeBenedet's suggestion for identify overflow areas. <br />394 <br />395 <br />Member DeBenedet further suggested a requirement for new developments, based <br />396 <br />on water quality design philosophies that those areas retain and continue to mimic <br />397 <br />natural runoff and stream flows. While recognizing that there were few areas in <br />398 <br />Roseville yet to be developed, Member DeBenedet suggested that this could be <br />399 <br />pursued when redevelopment occurs, and should be made key along with WSD <br />400 <br />requirements to guide developments to see storm water as an asset and dealt with <br />401 <br />in a more cost - effective and environmentally - efficient and friendly manner. <br />Page 9 of 19 <br />
