Jake Reilly, Sector Representative February 12, 2019 Incompleteness Response • All components of the local water supply plan, including appendices, need to be consistent with the information submitted to MN Department of Natural Resources (DNR) through MPARS. This ensures that all required elements of the comprehensive plan are together and accessible. Response: Agree. The Water Supply Chapter has been developed with this premise. • Although the MN DNR has not yet completed its review of the local water supply plan, Council staff have reviewed the version of it that was included as Appendix 4C-A in the comprehensive plan update (Council Review File 22055-1). The Plan needs to include all of the local water supply plan appendices are not included when submitted to the Council. Please include all appendices referenced in MnDNR Local Water Supply Template as "APPENDICES TO BE SUBMITTED BY THE WATER SUPPLIER." Response: The appendices to the Water Plan have been added. Advisory Comments: • Section 1.D provides a description of the approach used to project future water demand. However, the values provided in Table 7 for max day demand do not match the description provided in the text on how max day demand was calculated. Ratio of average day to maximum day that is used to calculate max day demand is not 2.0 as described in the text and instead appears to start at 3.83 in 2016 and gradually reduce over the years to 3.70 in 2040. Either revise the table or the text to reflect the calculation used for projected max day demands. Response: Will update document once all comments are received from all interested parties, including the DNR. • If changes are made to this water supply plan resulting from DNR's review of the plan or from changes during review of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan update - such as changes to forecasts - the City will need to provide the Council and DNR with the updated information. Response: Agree. We will provide the DNR approved copy once received. OTHER ADVISORY INFORMATION Council staff offer the following additional advisory comments for your consideration. Regional Parks & Trails (Colin Kelly, 651-602-1361) Council staff recommend revising the legend to Map 4E-1 Parks and Trails to reflect the appropriate names of these state facilities: Luce Line State Trail, Wolsfeld Woods Scientific and Natural Area, and Wood-Rill Scientific and Natural Area. Response: Map 4E-1 has been updated. Surface Water Management (Jim Larsen, 651-602-1159) Council staff request that the City provide to the Council the date the Watershed District approves the final LWMP, and the date the City adopts the final LWMP. Response. Agree. We anticipate this occurring in the next 30 days. We also request that the City provide the Council with a copy of the final adopted LWMP that will be included in the final Plan document that the City adopts, if it differs from the version contained in this Plan. Response: Agree, if different.
