REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 11/22/99 ITEM NO: J-3 Agenda Section: HEARINGS Resolution and Ordinance modifications regarding Metropolitan Council Plan Review of RosevilJe Comprehensive Plan (PF3174) 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 On November 4, 1999 city staff met with the Metropolitan Council staff to determine what other surface water and sanitary sewer issues might be necessary for the final review and approval of the Roseville Comprehensive Plan. What follows is a summary of a request for Council approval in the form of a resolution [as previously done in 1998) and an ordinance amendment. 1.2 Roseville's Comprehensive Plan has been submitted for Metropolitan Council review and approval numerous times since its original adoption on September 12, 1994. Each time the obstacle to approval has been Roseville's surface water management plan, technical amendments to it, and how it is implemented, as well as more detail on sanitary sewer flow, primarily between Roseville and adjoining communities. 1.3 Staff prepared new technical information that was requested, but noted that it was impossible for the city to rewrite the surface water management plan until the three watershed organizations (Rice Creek, Capital, and Grass Lake) complete their plans. The staff requested an alternative approach in which the City agrees to adopt a resolution stating that within 120 days of Metropolitan Council approval, the City would adopt an ordinance amending the City Code, Section 1016.26 (Storm Water Management). The amendment would state explicitly that the City will use National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MnPCA) Urban Best Management Practices, and the established standards of the water management organization having jurisdiction over the specific project. 1.4 The amendment also states that the City would require all new residential developments of more than five acres to meet storm water ponding and quality standards. This applies to developments of more than 20 acres in the current code. (The city currently has no undeveloped or redevelopment residential sites greater than 10 acres.) 1.5 Finally, the new amendment would require property owners of new developments to inspect storm water facilities for proper functioning one year after construction and ensure they are working properly and see that they are cleaned/repaired on a five- year interval. 1.6 The City Attorney has prepared the necessary ordinance amendment to Chapter 1016.26 of the City Code (see attachment).
