A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE SECOND GENERATION
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
WHEREAS the 1994 Surface Water Management Plan no longer accurately reflects the

benefits to residents and businesses, including water quality, water quantity, habitat, recreation and
open space; and
WHEREAS the City Council assigns great importance to the protection of life and
property, as well as the quality of Chanhassen's surface waters for future generations; and
WHEREAS the regulatory climate surrounding water resource management (specifically
the management of stormwater) has changed significantly in the past twelve years, increasing the
standards to which water resources must be protected and/or improved; and
WHEREAS this plan will assist the City in managing its surface waters, improving the
city's existing infrastructure, and maximizing opportunities to protect and enhance waterbodies
from this point forward; and
WHEREAS the City Council recognizes the contributions of the Surface Water
Management Plan Task Force in developing a plan that will be both practical and proactive with
respect to surface water management;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Chanhassen adopts the
Second Generation Surface Water Management Plan.
Passed and adopted by the Chanhassen City Council this 28th day of August, 2006.
