. . . -' ~ ---- ~ Metropolitan Council ~ Working for the Region, Planning for the Future !O'dd--C1q - October 22, 1999 Mr. Dennis Welsch, Community Development Director City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, Minnesota 55113 Dear Mr. Welsch: At this time there is one remaining issue concerning surface water management that has delayed the Council in fmding the Roseville Comprehensive Plan complete. We appreciate that the City of Roseville will adopt a resolution committing to continue to apply stonnwater runoff best management practices and detention facility design criteria consistent with those identified in the Council's Interim Strategy until such time as the practices and criteria are fonnally included in revised water management organization and local surface water management plans. The only shortcoming of the submission is that the city currently plans to wait until all of the watershed organizations have updated their plans to 'second generation requirements' prior to incorporation of the practices and criteria into local land use controls. The Council has been requiring all cities' comprehensive plan revisions to either have land use control revisions in place, or resolve to have them in place within 120 days of final Council plan review action to be deemed adequate for final review. Without land use controls in place, consistent with the practices and criteria in the Interim Strategy, cities are unable to enforce adequate control. If the city of Roseville will commit to including in the proposed resolution that the City will adopt ordinances that implement the Interim Strategy, the Council will find the plan complete, subject to submittal of the resolution and begin the fonnal 60-day review process. We would anticipate that final Council review could occur on or before December 15, 1999, if the resolution is submitted during the review period. If this solution is not probable, another possible solution may be to have city staff review the existing local ordinances regarding surface water management and cross reference them to the enclosed model ordinance. This could serve two purposes. It may demonstrate to the Council that the ordinance is in compliance with the Interim Strategy or it may infonn both the city and the Council the extent to which the ordinance will need to be amended within 120 days of final Councitreview of the city's plan. The City of Roseville has submitted an excellent plan and we are looking forward to bringing it before the Council for final review before the end of the year. Liz Van Zomeren, principal plan reviewer, or Sandra Pinel, sector representative, will be contacting you within the next two days to discuss how we can move this plan to completion. If you have any questions or concerns, please call Liz at 651-602-1060 or Sandra at 651-602-1513. ~IY, < t.J:~ E: Thompson, Superviso Comprehensive Planning cc: Council Member Roger Williams, Metropolitan Council District 11 Sandra Pinel, Sector Representative 230 East Fifth Street S1.
