Deadline/Timeline: Plan update is due in September, 2012. Background: • Since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan in March of 2009, all three of the watershed districts covering Scandia have adopted new watershed management plans. Cities are required to update their plans as needed to be consistent. • The Planning Commission reviewed the draft of the Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) at its May meeting, and held a public hearing on the plan in June. The Planners made some changes to the plan based on the Planning Commission comments at those meetings. • The City Council approved the Draft plan for review on June 19. The Planner then sent the draft plan to the 3 local watershed districts and to the Metropolitan Council for the required 60-day review period. Their responses included the following: ➢ The Comfort Lake-Forest Lake Watershed District Board approved the plan at their July 26, 2012 Board meeting. ➢ The Metropolitan Council completed its review of the plan and sent a letter on August 2 approving the plan. ➢ The Carnelian-Marine Watershed District Board approved the plan on August 13, 2012 ➢ Rice Creek Watershed District sent some additional comments. The Planners have updated the plan document to address the comments. We sent a revised copy of the plan to the District, and anticipate Board approval on September 26, 2012. • The Planning Commission reviewed the final Plan document at their September 4 meeting, and voted to recommend that the Council adopt the updated Plan. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Council adopt the updated Water Management Plan, as recommended by the Planning Commission.
