MEMORANDUM
To: Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director
From: Lori Haak, Water Resources Coordinator ~
Date: April 4, 2006
Re: Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) Update Public Hearing
BACKGROUND
In November 2004, the City Council approved a contract with Short Elliott
Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) for the completion of the Surface Water
Management Plan update. During 2005 and into 2006, City staff worked with
SEH and the SWMP Update Task Force to draft an updated plan to provide
guidance on the management of the City's lakes, creeks, wetlands, storm
water and storm water infrastructure for years to corne.
On February 13, 2006, the City Council and Planning Commission held a joint
work session during which they received a report from SEH regarding the
need for the plan, the plan update process and the anticipated timeline for plan
completion.
Since the joint work session, City staff and SEH have been working to prepare
the agency review draft of the SWMP. This draft will not only be reviewed
by the agencies that have commenting authority over the plan, but will also be
available to the general public for review and comment.
DRAFT PLAN
The draft plan is available on the City's website at www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us.
A link to the Surface Water Management Plan Update page is available on the
right-hand edge of the page under "What's New." If members of the public
would like a copy of the draft plan on CD-ROM, a limited number are
available at City Hall upon request. A hard copy of the draft plan is also
available for public review during normal business hours at City Hall.
SEH will provide a brief summary of the planning process at the Planning
Commission meeting prior to the public hearing. The summary is anticipated
to include the following items:
1) Why did we update the plan?
2) What tools did we create or update to accomplish this?

3) Outcomes and Program Implementation
4) Public Input Process
5) Anticipated timeline for completion of update
6) Highlight findings and recommendations of plan (including CIP)
City staff will work with the consultant following the commencement of the public
hearing to receive public comment and respond to those comments. Staff recommends
that the public hearing be continued to the May 2, 2006 Planning Commission meeting to
allow comments to be received until that time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing and receive
public comment on the draft Surface Water Management Plan.
Upon receipt of comment from all persons present wishing to address the matter, staff
recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Commission continues the public hearing for the Surface Water
Management Plan Update to the May 2, 2006 Planning Commission meeting."
