ORDINANCE NO. 2016-11 AMENDING CHAPTER 35 — ZONING OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES REGARDING THE REGULATION OF FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA. Planning and Zoning Specialist Tim Benetti introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose of the proposed ordinance. 10/10/16 -4- Councilmember Ryan asked how often FEMA may be revising their maps due to climate changes. Mr. Benetti stated as the City encounters changes in the climate and sees a need to revise the floodplain mapping they will put together a letter of map changes and request that change through FEMA, the representative from FEMA stated it will be easier and quicker for the City to get the changes done taking that route. Councilmember Graves asked what types of information is available for residents to give them the extra protection they may need for their own homes if things like sewage drain back-ups occur. City Manager Boganey explained how the drainage systems work. He stated when FEMA refers to flooding and floodplains they are talking about the process in which downstream outlets, which he stated most outlets in Minnesota drain into the Mississippi River, drain such a large amount of water into the Mississippi River that it would rise to an overflowing level which would then cause a back-up and start to flood the streets and homes potentially. He stated when we talk about flooding on the FEMA level that is what they mean. He stated then there are sanitary sewers and storm sewers in the City. He stated when water gets into either of those sewer drains, when they should be closed, that is when water back-ups into basements can occur. He noted in those cases there is extra insurance you can purchase from your homeowner's insurance company which can cover those types of water damage. He noted that type of water damage isn't covered under typical floodplain insurance. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. No one wished to address the Council. Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2016-11 Amending Chapter 35 — Zoning of the City Code of Ordinances Regarding the Regulation of Floodplain Management within the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Motion passed unanimously. 9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS None at this time. 10/10/16 -5- 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 10a.
