LRRWMO Meeting Minutes June 21, 1989 Page 2 PAYMENT OF BILLS Mathisen reported receiving a call from legal adviser Curtis Pearson's office stating that their bill is in the mail. However, since it has not yet been received, payment of same will be considered at the July meeting. There were no other bills to present. REPORT OF OFFICERS Raatikka noted the update needed on the membership list. Changes were made informally. Officers Raatikka and Weaver had nothing further to add. CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNICATIONS Skallman reported that his office has prepared cover letters, now signed by Chairman Schrantz, to go out with copies of the Water Management Plan for the continued review process. These letters with accompanying plans are to be sent to the DNR, PCA, Water and Soil Resources, Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Health. Skallman stated that he will follow up on the time lines allowed for review by these agencies before continuing with the process. Barr Engineering put together 12 additional Water Management Plans, 6 of which will go out with these cover letters. OLD BUSINESS The board discussed standards for subdivisions and water quality and development requirement standards along with consideration of a policy for reviewing plats. Skallman submitted draft guidelines and standards for permit review as used by the Bassett Creek WMO. Discussion followed. Skallman stated that any commercial or industrial development should require a detention pond in that any development in these areas will more than likely have at least 25 parking spaces. He was not aware of any developing commercial or industrial areas having less than 15 parking spaces. Mathisen suggested exempting places with minimal traffic, such as lift stations, booster stations, well houses, telephone switching stations, etc. He felt that these type of utility places may come under an exemptions category. Skallman continued by saying that the only areas where retention would be required would be locations near protected waters. This board would have to define which waters in the district will be designated "protected" waters. These would have regional detention basins for water quality management. The board will have to identify what will be used in the other areas. This action will require some planning on the part of this board to approach this.
