REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br />Approval: <br />DATE: 04.24.00 <br />ITEM N0: J - 4 <br />Agenda Section: <br />Ordinances <br />ItemDescription: Second Reading: Ordinance modifications regarding Metropolitan <br />Council Plan Review of Roseville Comurehensive Plan (PF31741 <br />1.0 BACKGROUND <br />l.l In the fall of 1999, City staff inet with the Metropolitan Council staff to determine <br />what other surface water and sanitary sewer issues might be necessary for the <br />final review and approval of the 1998 Roseville Comprehensive Plan. What <br />follows is a summary of a request for Council approval in the form of a second <br />reading of an ordinance amendment and a request for approval. <br />1.2 Roseville's Comprehensive Plan has been submitted for Metropolitan Council <br />review and approval numerous times since its original adoption on September 12, <br />1994. Each time the obstacle to approval has been Roseville's surface water <br />management plan, technical amendments to it, and how it is implemented, as well <br />as more detail on sanitary sewer flow, primarily between Roseville and adjoining <br />communities. <br />1.3 Staff prepared new technical information that was requested, but noted that it was <br />impossible for the city to rewrite the surface water management plan until the <br />three watershed organizations (Rice Creek, Capital, and Grass Lake) complete <br />their plans. The staff requested an alternative approach in which the City agrees to <br />adopt a resolution (Resolution 97 11) stating that within 120 days after <br />Metropolitan Council approval, the City would adopt an ordinance amending the <br />City Code, Section IO 16.26 (Storm Water Management). The amendment would <br />state explicitly that the City will use National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) <br />standards, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MnPCA) Urban Best <br />Management Practices, and the established standards of the water management <br />organization having jurisdiction over the specific proj ect. The first reading was <br />held on November 22, 1999. <br />1.4 The amendment states that the City would require all new residential <br />developments of more than five acres to meet storm water ponding and quality <br />standards. (This currently applies to developments of more than 20 acres) <br />1.5 Finally, the new amendment would require property owners of new developments <br />to inspect storm water facilities for proper functioning one year after construction <br />and ensure they are working properly and see that they are cleaned/repaired on a <br />five-yearinterval. <br />PF3 174 — RCA (04_24_00) Page 1 of 2 <br />
