Roseville, MN Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan - 2012 Update Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting ЏʹЌЉ ta Α ǒĻƭķğǤ ağǤ ЊͲ ЋЉЊЋ BACKGROUND The City has recently initiated an update to its Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan (CSWMP) which was originally developed in 1990 and was last updated in 2002. The CSWMP is a document that is required to be updated to maintain consistency with local watershed standards and ǞźƷŷ ƷŷĻ aĻƷƩƚƦƚƌźƷğƓ {ǒƩŅğĭĻ ğƷĻƩ ağƓğŭĻƒĻƓƷ !ĭƷ͵ ŷĻ /{at źƭ ğ ƩĻƨǒźƩĻķ ĭŷğƦƷĻƩ ƚŅ ƷŷĻ /źƷǤ͸ƭ ƚǝĻƩğƌƌ /ƚƒƦƩĻŷĻƓƭźǝĻ tƌğƓ ğƓķ ĻƭƷğĬƌźƭŷĻƭ ƷŷĻ /źƷǤ͸ƭ ǝźƭźƚƓ ŅƚƩ ƒğƓğŭźƓŭ ƭƷƚƩƒ ǞğƷĻƩ ğƓķ ƭǒƩŅğĭĻ water drainage throughout the City. Roseville completed its Parks and Recreation System Master Plan in 2010 and also has a Parks and Recreation Natural Resources Management Final Report completed in 2002. Both of these Parks and Recreation documents address surface water and natural resource management topics that have direct connections to the scope of the CSWMP. In addition, wƚƭĻǝźƌƌĻ͸ƭ tğƩƉƭ ŷğǝĻ ŷźƭƷƚƩźĭğƌƌǤ ĬĻĻƓ ğƭƭƚĭźğƷĻķ with water features including lakes, ponds and wetlands and many of the parks have played a significant role in managing stormwater. This strong connection between parks and surface water management will continue and coordinating the goals of the various plans and programs will provide for greater consistency in implementation efforts and reduce potential conflicts between the plans. There are three primary goals for this meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission. First is to give the Commission a brief overview of the CSWMP update process and schedule. Second, staff will highlight some examples of how other cities have combined stormwater management and park system goals by repurposing park areas and increasing the overall value of the park system. Third, and most importantly, we are looking for input from the Commission on potential opportunities to combine goals and efforts towards improved education for park users, new or improved water quality treatment systems, and changes in the type or reductions in the costs of maintaining water and natural resource areas within the parks system.
