City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia

Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Adopt the updated Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) Chapter
of the Scandia Comprehensive Plan.
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.
