CASE <br /> <br /> LOWER RUM RIVER WMO <br /> PERMITTING PROCEDURE <br />By: Pete Raatikk&, Consulting Engineer <br /> and Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Lower Rum River Water Management Organization has recently <br />adopted guidelines and standards for improving water quality within <br />the watershed. To implement the guidelines, the WMO must establish <br />a permitting procedure for development in the district. <br /> <br />Two methods have been previously discussed by the city Councils <br />within the WM0. One method allows the City to issue permits and <br />the other method (Bassett Creek WMO permitting procedure) requires <br />all developments to go to the WMO for a permit. The cities of <br />Ramsey and Anoka were in favor of the City controlled permit <br />procedures and Andover and Coon Rapids were in favor of the Bassett <br />Creek permit procedure. As a compromise, the WMO has prepared an <br />alternative permitting procedure. 'As your representatives to the <br />WMO, we would like your input on the permitting procedures. <br />Enclosed for your review are the following: <br /> <br />1) <br />2) <br />3) <br /> <br />city directed permitting procedure. <br />Bassett Creek WMO permitting procedure. <br />Lower Rum River WMO Alternative Permitting Procedure. <br /> <br />Recommendations: <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City supports the alternative permitting <br />procedure. <br /> <br />commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend to the City Council that they support the <br />alternative permitting procedure. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />city Administrator X <br />City Attorney <br />city Engineer X <br />Community Development Dir. <br /> <br />Consult.
