i • LRRWMO Special Meeting Minutes July 11, 1996 Page 5 Lobermeier advised Obermeyer-also suggested reducing the permit threshold to one acre and expand the permit to include turf restoration requirements. Weaver suggested an expenditure of $250 to $500. Consensus was reached to reduce funding to $500 total. Develop_Interagencv Agreement with Mn/DOT: Weaver noted that Mn/DOT cannot proceed with a project that involves local acquisition of land without a permit. Schultz stated this is correct and in addition, Mn/DOT also needs a permit if the project increases the capacity of the roadway. Jankowski pointed out that when Mn/DOT wants to do a project within a city, they deal specifically with the city and questioned how water issues are to be addressed. Schultz stated it is assumed the city will do the right thing. Ferguson questioned the ability to come. to an agreement with Mn/DOT on these issues: Consensus was reached to remove and eliminate funding. Review Local Water Management Plan: Schultz suggested that each member city cover the cost for their Local Plan to be reviewed by the WMO engineer (even if funded through the WMO). Consensus was reached to fund $3,000 in 1999 and $3,000 in 2000. • Develop Model Ordinances: Weaver asked if this "reinvents the wheel" and is really the responsibility of individual cities. Lobermeier explained how ordinances can be compared to determine what would be best. Weaver commented on the. high cost of city legal fees if ordinances were to be reviewed by each city. Ferguson agreed and noted that Coon Rapids is part of three WMO's but wants there to be uniformity. Lobermeier agreed with. the difficulty in getting four cities to agree on a common ordinance. It was noted that all member cities- have adopted Shoreland Ordinances.: Ferguson questioned whether the scope implied on Table 28 is larger than currently exists. Jankowski noted that the wording of that section has already been changed. Consensus reached to delete and eliminate funding of "Develop Model Ordinances".
