Discussion /action regarding floodplain elevation in Mound City Code and proposed 2009 Mound Surface Water management Plan (SWMP) update Community Development Director Smith provided an overview of the proposed 2009 update to the Mound Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) which is a component of the Comprehensive Plan that was granted preliminary approval by the City Council in October 2008 and submitted to the Metropolitan Council and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) for formal review. Staff explained that the proposed SWMP update was deemed incomplete by the MCWD due to a number of issues including an inconsistency between Mound's 100 -year floodplain elevation of 931.0 and the MCWD's adopted elevation of 951.5 for Lake Minnetonka as referenced in their new plan which was adopted in July 2007. As members may recall, there was much concern from the City about the impact raising the 931.0 floodplain and 933.0 Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation (RFPE) would have on creating non - conforming situations on existing properties constructed at the current minimum elevation. Therefore, discussions between Mound and MCWD have been ongoing for the past few months. Staff explained that the current proposal under discussion by Mound and the MCWD Staff would allow the City to continue using the 931.0 100 -year floodplain and 933.0 RFPE elevations for building construction projects, however, any land alteration projects (ie. grading, etc.) on land at or below the MCWD's 100 -year floodplain elevation of 931.5 would require formal review of a floodplain alteration permit by the City Council including the submittal of all required information and must result in a "no net decrease" in floodplain storage. Staff further informed the Council that it is anticipated that the City and MCWD will need to prepare and agree to a Memorandum of Understanding for the proposed SWMP update and will be discussed as a separate item at a future meeting. 9. Set special meeting workshop for purpose of annual joint Planning Commission and City Council meeting MOTION by Osmek, seconded by Gesch to set a special joint Planning Commission and City Council meeting for May 19, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. All voted in favor.
