Building Code, which states that drainage systems shall discharge into an approved storm sewer system or onto ground surfaces. The City will explore the need to expand its ordinance if it is determined the City is not meeting the established I/I goal. Tier II Comments The Tier II Sewer Element of the Update has been reviewed against the requirements for Tier II Comprehensive Sewer Plans for developing (urban reserve) communities. It was found to be complete and consistent with Council polices. Upon adoption of the Update by the City, the action of the Council to approve the Tier II Plan becomes effective. At that time, the City.may implement its Update to alter, expand or improve its sewage disposal system consistent with the approved Tier II Sewer Plan. A copy of the City Council Resolution adopting its Plan needs to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for its records. Surface Water Management Reviewer: Judy Sventek, ES - Water Resources Assessment, (651 - 602 -1156) The Update conforms to the WRMPP for local surface water management. The City lies within the Lower Rum River watershed. The Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization's watershed management plan was approved by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) in 1998. The City prepared a surface water management plan (SWMP) in 2008 that was reviewed under separate cover. Council staff found the SWMP to provide an excellent framework for managing storm water in the city. The SWMP was also found to be consistent with Council policy and the Council's WRMPP. CONSISTENCY WITH COUNCIL POLICY FORECASTS Reviewer: Todd Graham„ CD - Research, (651 -602 -1552) The Update's forecasts are consistent with Council expectations and regional policy. The Update uses revised forecasts and a longer development staging timeline. In December 2009, the City requested revisions to 2010 -2030 households and population, and a revision of 2030 employment. Council staff find the December 9, 2009 revised forecasts reasonable from a market perspective and are similar to what Council and City staff previously discussed. 7.
