LRRWMO Meeting Minutes <br />July 15, 1992 <br />Page 5 <br />Andover's Storm Drainage Plan <br />Schrantz reported Andover's Storm Drainage Plan is just about <br />ready to go to the engineer. This agenda item shall also be <br />carried over to the August meeting. <br />Update on City of Ramsey Project #91 -14 <br />The board reviewed Skallman's June 16, 1992, updated review <br />on Ramsey Project- 491 -14; referencing a- letter from Peter <br />Raatikka -which reflects changes and questions discussed with <br />the Consulting Engineer. Skallman's recommendation indicated <br />with the changes in the letter included in the project, the <br />project meets the requirements of the LRRWMO. <br />Draft Wetland Policy and Draft Letter to Anoka County <br />The board extensively discussed the proposed draft LRRWMO <br />policy addressing wetland mitigation projects for Anoka <br />County. <br />In answer to Erickson's query about whether the county would <br />be required to take out a permit for each project, Schrantz <br />stated that we have to pay for the project review someway. <br />Jankowski concurred; we had agreed that everyone, including <br />the member cities, would be treated the same and would be <br />required to obtain an LRRWMO application prior to project <br />construction according to established procedure. He felt it <br />was a reasonable policy. Schultz concurred. Jankowski felt <br />that same policy should be established for Anoka County until <br />it becomes a problem, and then the board can consider a <br />policy revision. <br />Discussion ensued relative to the replacement quality of <br />these wetlands upon construction given that the county would <br />be allowed to bank up to one acre of disturbed wetlands <br />before replacement construction would be required. Schrantz <br />stated the time will soon be here when wetlands will have to <br />be replaced at the highest quality level of said wetlands <br />when they were disturbed, as is proposed in the draft policy. <br />Jankowski agreed that language should be left as it presently <br />reads, with the idea that the board can review the policy and <br />make whatever changes it determines necessary at a later <br />date. <br />Erickson queried whether the policy should include a sunset <br />date when the accumulated wetland acreage must be replaced. <br />Schultz stated he would have no problem with leaving that <br />issue open ended. However, with regard to the LRRWMO <br />policies and procedures, he indicated he wants to see them <br />
