2.0 Watersheds and Surface Water Management: Roseville adopted a surface water <br /> management plan in 1990. Due to the growth and change in its three <br /> watersheds (Rice Creek, Grass Lake, and Capital Cities) we have asked the <br /> Metropolitan Council for time to compile these changes into a second-generation <br /> plan when the watersheds have completed their planning. We are not aware of <br /> any additional Roseville impacts within the portion of the Rice Creek Watershed <br /> that impacts New Brighton. <br /> 3.0 Sanitary Sewer Plan: New Brighton's sanitary sewer plan forecasts an increase <br /> in sanitary sewer flow of 13% over the next 20 years, while Roseville expects <br /> an increase of 10% during the same period. Roseville's records do not indicate <br /> any intercommunity sewer service floe or agreements between the two cities. <br /> 4.0 Water Plan: Because both Roseville and New Brighton are first tier suburban <br /> cities nearing a fully developed status, both will experience little increase in <br /> their water rate flows. Roseville's water system, supported by the St. Paul <br /> Water Authority, will incur approximately a 10% water flow increase over the <br /> next 20 years. New Brighton's water system, supported by two water treatment <br /> plants, mostly produce remediation water from groundwater cleanup. New <br /> Brighton will experience approximate a small percentage of water flow increase <br /> over the same 20 year period. <br /> 5.0 Housing Plan: Similar to Roseville, the New Brighton plan identifies the aging <br /> of the 20 to 40+ year old housing stock as a significant challenge. Providing <br /> life cycle housing and choice should be a subregional issue as well as a local <br /> issue. Roseville indicates 83% of the single family detached housing being over <br /> 30 years of age while New Brighton indicates 85%. Single family detached <br /> units make up 58% of the total in Roseville and 55% for New Brighton. The <br /> remaining housing units are mixes of affordable multi-family housing <br /> (townhouse, condominium, mobile home, and apartment). Rental rates in New <br /> Brighton are $666/month for a two-bedroom unit, while in Roseville the average <br /> for a two-bedroom unit is $710/month (1S` Quarter, 1998). Both Roseville and <br /> New Brighton meet or exceed the Livable Community affordable housing <br /> benchmarks. With an aging housing stock and population, both cities will need <br /> to be more proactive in seeking life cycle housing options for their residents. <br /> Does the New Brighton Comprehensive Plan (Housing Section) anticipate <br /> additional family and/or senior units/complexes in the near future? <br /> • <br /> 2 <br />
