CITY OF LAKEVILLE
COUNTY OF DAKOTA, MINNESOTA
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 11 OF THE LAKEVILLE
CITY CODE, THE ZONING ORDINANCE, CONCERNING
FLOODPLAINS, EROSION AND DRAINAGE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKEVILLE, MINNESOTA ORDAINS:
SECTION 1. Section 11-16-7 of the Lakeville City Code is amended to read:
11-16-7: EROSION AND DRAINAGE:
A. Permit Applicants: No person or political subdivision shall commence a land disturbing
activity or create new impervious surface without first obtaining a permit from the City that
incorporates and approves a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the activity,
development or redevelopment. For sites disturbing less than one (1) acre, an Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan maybe submitted as part of the building permit application.
B. .Development Not Permitted: No land shall be developed and no use shall be permitted
that results in water runoff causing flooding, erosion, or deposit of sediment on adjacent
properties: Such runoff shall be properly channeled into a storm drain, watercourse, ponding
area, or other public facilities subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer.
C. Standards: Erosion and sediment controls shall meet the standards for the General
Permit Authorization to Discharge Storm Water Associated With Construction Activity Under
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System/State Disposal System Permit Program
Permit MN R100001 (NPDES General Construction Permit) issued by the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency, as amended. Final stabilization of the site must be completed in accordance
with NPDES General Construction Permit requirements.
D. Engineer Approval: In the case of all single-family lots, multiple-family lots, business,
industrial and institutional developments, the drainage and erosion control plans shall be subject
to the engineer's written approval. No modification in grade and drainage flow through fill, cuts,
erection of retaining walls or other such actions shall be permitted until such plans have been
reviewed and received written approval from the City Engineer.
E. Approval Of Erosion Control Measures: Proposed erosion control measures maybe
approved by the City Engineer as part of grading plan review. Erosion control maybe specified
by the City Engineer as part of a site survey for individual building permits. Erosion and
sediment control measures shall be consistent with Best Management Practices (BMPs) for
erosion and sedimentation control as specified in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual (MPCA,
141081x03
2005); as amended, and shall be sufficient to retain sediment on site. Erosion control measures
may also be specified by the City Engineer as needed and deemed appropriate during the
construction and post-construction periods separate from the above.
F. Storm Sewer Inlets: All storm sewer inlets which are functioning during construction
shall be protected so that sediment laden water not enter the conveyance system without first
being filtered or otherwise treated to remove sediment.
G. Stormwater Channels: All on-site stormwater conveyance channels shall be designed and
constructed to withstand the expected velocity of flow from a 10-year frequency storm without
erosion. Erosion controls must be provided at the outlets of all storm sewer pipes.
H. Sediment Control Practices: All temporary erosion and sediment controls shall be
installed on all down gradient perimeters before commencing the land disturbing activity, and
left in place and maintained as needed until removed per City approval after the site had been
stabilized. All permanent erosion. control measures shall be installed and operational per the
design and as required by the City.
L Tracking: Each site shall have rock construction entrance,. access drives and parking areas.
of sufficient width and length to prevent sediment from being tracked onto public or private
roadways. Any sediment reaching a public or private road shall be removed by street cleaning
(not flushing) before the end of each workday or more often if necessary to maintain the road in
safe driving condition.
J. Seeding: All disturbed ground left inactive for seven (7) or more days shall. be stabilized
by seeding or sodding or by mulching or covering or other equivalent control measure.
K. Sites More Than One Acre Not Graded: If the activity creates more than one (1) acre of
disturbed area, and the activity is taking place on a site where soils are currently disturbed (e.g., a
tilled agricultural site that is being developed), areas that will not be graded as part of the
development and areas that will not be stabilized according to the timeframes specified in the
NPDES General Construction permit Part IV.B.S, shall be seeded with a temporary or permanent
cover before commencing the proposed land disturbing activity.
L. Removal:. All temporary erosion control devices including silt fence, gravel, hay bales or
other measures shall be removed from the construction site and properly disposed of or recycled.
This removal and disposal must occur within thirty (30) days of the establishment of permanent
vegetative cover on the disturbed area.
M. -Site Dewatering: Water pumped from the site shall be treated by temporary sedimentation
basins, grit chambers, sand filters; upflow chambers, hydro-cyclones, swirl concentrators or other
appropriate controls as appropriate. Water may not be discharged in a manner that causes erosion
or flooding of the site or receiving channels of a wetland. All dewatering shall be in accordance
with all applicable county, state, and federal rules and regulations. Minnesota department of
natural resources regulations regarding appropriate permits shall also be strictly adhered to.
141081x03 2
N. Waste And Material Disposal: All waste and unused building materials (including
garbage, debris, cleaning wastes,. waste water, toxic materials or hazardous materials) shall be
properly disposed of off site. and not allowed to be carried by runoff into a receiving channel or
storm sewer system.
O. Foundation, Garage Floor: Unless approved by the city engineer, the top of the
foundation and garage floor of all structures shall be at least eighteen inches (18") above the
grade of the crown of the street:
P. Stop Work Order: The city's building official or city engineer may issue stop work orders
for any violation of this title.
SECTION 2. Section 11-101-11 (E) of the Lakeville City Code is amended to read:
11-101-11: FW, FLOODWAY DISTRICT:
E. Standards For Fooodway Conditional Uses: No structure (temporary or permanent), fill
(including fill for roads- and levees), deposit, obstruction, storage of materials or equipment, or
other uses maybe allowed as a conditional use which, acting alone or in combination with
existing or anticipated future uses, adversely affect the capacity of the floodway, or increase
flood heights, with the exception of floodway boundary amendments. Consideration of the
effects of a proposed use shall be based upon the reasonable assumption that there will be an
equal degree of encroachment extending for a significant reach on both sides of the stream. All
conditional use applications shall be accompanied by a floodway impact statement drafted by a
registered engineer. The City Engineer shall be responsible for submitting the proposal and
application to the Department of Natural Resources and any other governmental unit having
jurisdiction over.-the area for review and comment.
1. Fill, dredge spoil and all other similar materials deposited or stored in the flood
plain shall be protected from erosion by vegetative cover, mulching, riprap or other
acceptable method.
2. Dredge spoil sites and sand and gravel operations shall not be allowed in the
floodway unless along-term site development plan is submitted which includes an
erosion sedimentation prevention element to the plan.
3. As an alternative, and consistent with subsection E2 of this Section, dredge spoil
disposal and sand and gravel operations may allow temporary, on-site storage of fill or
.other materials which would have caused an increase to the stage of the 100=year or
regional flood but only after the governing body has received an appropriate plan which
assures the removal of the materials from the floodway based upon the flood warning
time available. The conditional use permit must be title registered with the. property in the
office of the County Recorder.
4. Any floodway alteration or filling shall not cause a net decrease in flood storage
capacity below the regulatory flood protection elevation unless it is shown that the
proposed alteration or filling, together with an equal degree of flood storage reduction on
all other land in the affected reach of the water body or watercourse, will not cause high
water or aggravate flooding on other land and will not unduly restrict flood flows.
141081x03 3
5. All structures shall be constructed with the lowest floor level at or above the
regulatory flood. protection elevation plus any increases in flood stages attributable to
.encroachments on the floodplain.
6. Flood storage, flowage, and drainage easements-shall be dedicated over areas in
the floodway below the regulatory flood protection elevation of any water body,
watercourse, or wetland.
7: Any alteration or filling that alters floodplain boundaries, including bridge
crossings and regional ponds, and increases upstream high water levels maybe allowed
:provided that:
a. The applicant submits easements or other documentation in a form
acceptable to the City demonstrating and recording the consent of the owner of
any land ,affected by the increase in the 100-year flood level;
b. The action is consistent with the City Code and State and Federal
Regulations; and
c. The upstream impacts, riparian impacts and habitat impacts of the
proposed action are analyzed and no detrimental impacts result, or adverse
impacts. are mitigated..
SECTION 3: Section 11-101-17 of the Lakeville City Code is amended to read:
11-101-17: SUBDIVISIONS:
A. Review Criteria: No land shall be subdivided which is unsuitable for the reason of
flooding, inadequate drainage, water supply or sewage treatment facilities. All lots within. the
flood plain. districts shall contain a building site at or above the regulatory flood protection
elevation. All subdivisions shall have water and sewage treatment facilities that comply with the
provisions of this Title and have road access both to the subdivision and to the individual
building sites no lower than two feet (2') below the regulatory flood protection elevation and the
required elevation of all access roads shall be clearly labeled on all required subdivision
drawings and platting documents.
B. ..Easements. Flood storage, flowage and drainage easements shall be dedicated over areas
in the floodway below the regulatory flood protection elevation of any water body, watercourse,
or wetland in conjunction with the subdivision of land.
C. Removal Of Special Flood Hazard Area Designation: FEMA has established criteria for
removing the special flood hazard area designation for certain structures properly elevated on fill
above the 100-year flood elevation. FEMA requirements incorporate specific fih compaction and.
side slope protection standards for multi-structure or multi-lot developments.
SECTION 4. Section 11-101-19 of the Lakeville City Code is amended to read:
11-101-19: PUBLIC UTILITIES, RAILROADS, ROADS, AND BRIDGES:
A. Public Utilities: All public utilities and facilities such as gas, electrical, sewer, and water
supply systems to be located in the flood plain shall be floodproofed in accordance with the State
141081v03 4
Building Code or elevated to above the regulatory flood protection elevation and comply with
the following setbacks:
L Where a watercourse has a sinuous flow pattern and a meander belt can be
identified, the setback for new underground utilities shall be setback 15 feet from the
outer edge of the meander belt.
2. Where a sinuous flow pattern and meander belt are not readily identifiable
because of past channel alterations and/or the geomorphology of the channel, the setback
established for new underground utilities shall provide for the potential for restoration
and a sinuous flow pattern as follows:
a. Where there are existing encroachments that limit full restoration of the
watercourse to the meander widths appropriate for the watercourse type, the
setback shall be 15 feet from the reasonably achievable restorationwidth as
determined by the City Engineer for the meander belt given the existing
encroachments.
b. Where full restoration is possible, the setback shall be 15 feet from a
meander belt width defined as 10 times the bankfull channel width. The bankfizll
channel width of a stream, .creek, or river is its width at bankfizll stage; the water.
level in a watercourse where the flow just begins to leave the main channel and
enter the active floodplain.
c. An assessment of the watercourse type maybe completed, and meander
belt widths established according to the stream type, in place of using the above
formula as approved by the City Engineer.
3. Exemption. Utilities that require reaching or crossing the watercourse, are
exempted from this Section provided the minimum impact alignment is used.
B. Public Transportation Facilities: Railroad tracks, roads, and bridges to be located within
the FP Floodway District shall comply with subsection 11-101-11E of this Chapter. All railroad
tracks, roads, bridges, and major transportation facilities must be constructed at or above the
regulatory flood protection elevation where failure or interruption of these transportation
facilities would result in danger to the public health or safety or where such facilities are
essential to the orderly functioning of the area. Minor or auxiliary roads or minor railroads may
be constructed at an elevation two feet (2') below the regulatory flood protection elevation where
failure or interruption of transportation services would not endanger the public health or safety.
C. On-Site Sewage Treatment And Water Supply Systems: Where public utilities are not
provided: 1) on-site water supply systems must be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration
of flood waters into the systems; and 2) new or replacement on-site sewage treatment systems
must be designed tominimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the systems and
discharges from the systems into flood waters and they shall not be subject to impairment or
contamination during times of flooding. Any sewage treatment system designed in accordance
with the State's current Statewide standards for on-site sewage treatment systems shall be
determined to be in compliance with this Chapter.
SECTION 5. This Ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its passage and
publication.
