From: To: Date: Subject: Frolik "bscheib@hkgLcom".lnternet Agent. Ramsey-Domain 3/7/00 5:04PM Re: cc update OK here we go. Your proposed changes to page VI-16 re transit, VI-2 re roadways, Table V-6 on V-32, adding a double asterisk note to Table V-7 on page V-34 (except where is the double asterisk item in the Table?), are all approved as proposed. The changes to VII-5 and XVI-4 regarding referencing the Housing Action Plan were not approved. It was noted that much of the text in the Comprehensive Plan is derived from the text of the Housing Action Plan. If Ramsey has reiterated their position and goals from the housing action plan in the comprehensive plan, then Ramsey's housing section should be considered complete from that perspective. What mechanism is the Metro Council using to require Ramsey to also reference the 1996 housing action plan specifically? Regarding ISTS, the Council response is that Ramsey is in compliance with 7080. The City has already adopted Rule 7080 by reference in City Code and that is evidenced by the inclusion of Appendix E in the draft comprehensive plan. As the Council reads 7080.0175, it requires the property owner to pump or inspect every 3 years. City Council cannot find where it says that the City is responsible for seeing that the property owners pump or inspect every three years. Council's position is that the City does not have to do any more than 7080 requires and Council is disputing whether 7080 actually requires the City to be the record keeper of the 3 year pumping or inspection program. Bottom line - "what is the City's role in 7080, if any". With regard to the non-point source pollution commitment, I was not adequately prepared. Council's response is that they may not want to design stormwater ponds to the highest possible standards; there could be a situation where they only want to design them to the minimum standards required. They asked the question what is "urban best management practices" They want to know what they are agreeing to and I did not have that information for them. They did not see it as a big deal, just want a memo informing them about what they would be agreeing to. Steve Jankowski has also been given a deadline of Wednesday for the sewer flow numbers. So, the next step is for a 3 way conversation between you, Jim N. and me to provide direction on the response to Metro Council's 10 day completeness letter. We will use the responses you prepared, that Council agreed to on the 6th, regarding the non-controversial corrections and additions to the comp plan; Steve will get us the sewer flow numbers; draft responses to ISTS and Housing issues that the City Council feels they have met the requirements and if not, they need to show us where we have not met the letter of the rule or law; provide council with an overview of best management practices for non-point source pollution with a request to get back to staff asap with comments so a response to that issue can be prepared accordingly. I am leaving for vacation on March 10 and will return to work on March 20. >>> Brad <bscheib@hkgLcom> 03/07/00 08:47AM >>> Sylvia Realizing you have a busy scheduel, when you have time, let me know how your cc meeting went last knith.
