Ms. Bloom encouraged PWETC members to the Open House at Maplewood Mall <br /> scheduled for September 15, 2012, being hosted by the Ramsey-Washington <br /> Metro Watershed District. <br /> Regarding Member Gjerdingen's concerns with regional zoning and borders, Ms. <br /> Bloom noted that each area was different, and when approached, staff was happy <br /> to consider options. <br /> Mr. Leaf noted that the reason the Maplewood Mall area project was able to <br /> proceed was due to the planned upgrades on the property, all under one owner, <br /> and cost savings to incorporate landscape and storm water improvements as part <br /> of that project. <br /> Member Stenlund expressed appreciation for including shoreland in the Surface <br /> Water Protection portion of the implementation plan (page 34). <br /> Section 7.0 Plan Adoption and Amendments (Page 35) <br /> Chair Vanderwall noted that the process was well-defined, as further noted in <br /> Section 7.2.2 Staff Review (page 36), providing for a process with some <br /> flexibility. However, in Section 7.2.1 Request for Amendments (page 36), Chair <br /> Vanderwall questioned who could bring forward a request for an amendment, and <br /> how time-consuming this potential could be for staff. <br /> Mr. Leaf reviewed the actual process, and noted that staff s response would <br /> determine whether or not a request would move beyond the PWETC or City <br /> Council; and legal requirements for administrative appeals and a process yet to be <br /> defined. <br /> Ms. Bloom concurred, noting that this was under discussion and would be further <br /> reviewed at the staff/consultant level; based on legal considerations and <br /> requirements. Ms. Bloom advised that she didn't envision an amendment to the <br /> plan without it first coming before the PWETC. <br /> Mr. Leaf reviewed the remaining process in developing Draft #3, based on <br /> tonight's feedback, opining that he didn't see any changes of substance in the <br /> plan; and would confer with staff on edits to get the next draft out for agency <br /> review and keep the process moving forward toward adoption by year-end. Mr. <br /> Leaf noted that additional graphics could be added at any time, not necessarily <br /> during the review process. Mr. Leaf thanked the PWETC for their hard work in <br /> reviewing this document and providing good feedback. <br /> Chair Vanderwall thanked Mr. Leaf and Ms. Nestingen as well. <br /> 6.
