44 Metropolitan Council <br /> AA <br /> May 16, 2011 <br /> Mr. Dean Lotter <br /> City Manager <br /> City Of New Brighton <br /> 803 Old Hwy. 8 Nw <br /> New Brighton, MN 55112-2792 <br /> Dear Mr. Lotter: <br /> The Metropolitan Council recently adopted revisions to the 2030 Transportation Policy Plan and <br /> the 2030 Regional Parks Policy Plan,which may require amendments to local comprehensive <br /> plans. The Council also recently adopted revisions to the 2030 Water Resources Management <br /> Policy Plan, but those changes will not require local plan amendments. <br /> As required by state statute,the Council is issuing "system statements"to all communities.These <br /> statements, enclosed,show how the changes to the Council's regional system plans affect your <br /> community specifically.These documents will help your community determine if your <br /> community's local comprehensive plan must be amended to ensure its continued conformity <br /> with these regional system plans. <br /> The system statements for your community also can be found online after May 1, 2011.The <br /> updated regional system plans are available online as well at <br /> http://www.metrocouncil.org/planning/index.htm. <br /> We recognize that communities recently completed the 2008 comprehensive plan update <br /> process, and we anticipate that information transmitted in these system statements should <br /> require minor, if any, amendments for most communities. <br /> The deadline for submitting any required plan amendments to the Council is nine months from <br /> the date of this letter. <br /> If you have questions about these system statements or the regional system plans, please <br /> contact Lisa Barajas,the Council sector representative from our Local Planning Assistance staff <br /> assigned to work with your community, at 651-602-1895. <br /> We look forward to working with you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Guy Peterson, <br /> Director, Community Development Division <br /> www.metrocouncil.org <br /> 390 Robert Street North • St. Paul, MN 55101-1805 • (651)602-1000 • Fax(651)602-1550 • TTY(651)291-0904 <br />
