LRRWMO Meeting Minutes • January 25, 1996 Page 5 ~ ' Ferguson stated he believes the time has come to open the discussion. It was noted that the political aspect will be different than the engineering issues. Haas agreed and suggested Anoka schedule a joint meeting and invite other entities to participate in the discussion. Lobermeier asked if there have been any discussions about DNR ownership of the dam. Schultz stated there have been none and, in fact, the DNR would prefer to see the dam removed. Lobermeier commented on the change in ownership of the Coon Rapids Mississippi dam to Hennepin County Pazks which, perhaps, is a precedent. Consensus was reached to indicate in the Plan that the issues and ownership of the dam will need to be worked out but not include mention of rnsts or liability. The LRRWMO continued their review of the action plan. Lobermeier asked if the threshold should be reduced to one acre and questioned the need to establish better turf and erosion control with smaller developments. Haas stated the LRRWMO did discuss whether LRRWMO permits and review should be required of all plats. Schultz stated this is probably a "case by case" consideration since • developments that drains to established, created, ponding probably do not need LRRWMO review. Ferguson agreed with the need to clarify the permitting process regarding what does and does not need LRRWMO review. Lobermeier asked if the actual revision can occur outside of the Plan update. Schultz stated he believes it can work as it is but you need to rely on the integrity of the members. Ferguson stated the-permitting process-will probably be-improved on continually so- there is probably no need to "lock" it into the actual Plan. Lobermeier noted the forms will be included in the appendix section and can easily be updated. LRRWMO agreed. Lobermeier stated he will include some costs in the implementation process for LRRWMO member review, but this data will not be included in the Plan reviewed at the open house. Ferguson suggested a note "figures to be added" be included in the Plan. He also suggested that some of the figures be reduced significantly. Lobermeier stated he will provide three Plans to each City, one for review at the City Hall, one for review at their local Ibrary, and one for the LRRWMO member. The Administrative Secretary requested a file copy plus an extra one for public review at the informational meeting. • Lobermeier questioned the agenda format for the open house meeting.. Consensus was reached to keep the format as casual as possible to enrnurage public input. Lobermeier stated he will prepare an outline and meeting format as well as full-sized layouts.
