CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Raatikka was in receipt of a newsletter from the Minnesota Association of watershed Districts informing of their annual meeting to be held December 4 and 5, 1987, in Moorhead, Minnesota. No one present would be attending. Dean Skallman, Engineering Consultant, reported receiving approved permits #88 -6089 and #88 -6079, to be placed on file. - OLD BUSINESS 1. water Management Plan: Introduction and Hydrologic System. Mr. Raatikka provided copies of a summary on Ramsey's airport for the engineer's review and consideration for the plan. Mr. weaver ques- tioned how that area of Ramsey will be handling surface drainage. Mr. Raatikka replied that it will tie into the future storm sewer of the city. Should there be direct runoff, he felt it would go through a pond - ing system. However, the ultimate outcome of Ramsey's recently passed zoning ordinance pertaining to this issue is still uncertain. While discussing the Metropolitan Systems, Rum River Regional Park, Mr. Skallman stated that he feels he will have to expand it somewhat. The Commission had no objections or further comments on this portion of the plan. Discussion continued centering on the Hydrologic System portion of the plan. Mr. Skallman provided copies of maps, noting that they are not final. There were -also found to be errors on the map's key. Mr. Mathisen pointed out that in Coon Rapids in the area of Highway 10 and Round Lake Blvd. where there is ammunition storage, the maps show it as open spaces. It should be zoned something else. Mr. Skallman stated that accuracy isn't all important here, in that should someone wish to build within a certain area, the developer will go to the city using their available maps. He added that the purpose of the ',dater Management Plan is to show where the cities are at and where they will go. Mr. Raatikka pointed out that there are some questionable areas on the map in reference to the City of Ramsey also. Here also the map key is wrong. Mr. Mathisen stated that they should be consistent. Mr. weaver suggested Mr. Skallman review this section and come back with suggestions and changes, pointing out that with the scale so small the inaccuracies are greater. :fir. Skallman stated that it will be impossible to get the maps exactly right. Mr. Weaver added that it needs to be clearly stated that this is merely advisory information providing an overview, not for providing specifics. Other sources would be more accurate. Mr. Raatikka concurred that this be stated within the text.
