He advised that the Council will hear that request in October. He stated that the Commission also considered the floodplain management ordinance, which the Council will consider tonight, and recommended unanimous approval. VIII. NEW BUSINESS A. Ordinance No. 603 Regarding Floodplain Management; Amending Chapter 8 of the City Code (7:15 p.m.) Johnson stated that FEMA updated their maps and therefore the City has certain timeframes to update their ordinance. Finke stated that the City's discretion on this ordinance is very limited. He noted that the DNR is the State agency that adopts the rules from FEMA and explained that the City has the responsibility to enforce those rules at the local level. He stated that the optional provisions are more permissive for uses within the floodplain and noted that would equate to more administrative requirements. He stated that the City's risk is very low. He noted that some residents may have to have insurance for accessory structures on their property but advised that is only a handful of properties in the City. He stated that • Medina City Council Meeting Minutes 2 September 20, 2016 " in some instances a homeowner is required to carry flood insurance when they purchase their property and then can go through the LOMA process to have that designation changed once it is proven that they do not need the insurance. He stated that within the surface water management plan there is a goal to do a big picture study of the watersheds in order to better identify the floodplains. He stated that staff recommends not enacting the optional provisions as that would allow more activity within the floodplains. Mitchell noted that the maps identify the extensive marshes within the City and identifies how they are interlinked. He stated that he likes how the map extends outside of the City limits in order to show the bordering development of neighboring cities and encouraged the Comprehensive Plan mapping to follow suit in terms of mapping. Anderson stated that the extensive marshes located in Medina have been discussed by the Steering Committee as a benefit to the City that will assist in maintaining the rural feel of the City. Moved by Anderson, seconded by Cousineau, to adopt Ordinance No. 603 Regarding Floodplain Management; Amending Chapter 8 of the City Code. Motion passed unanimously. 1. Resolution No. 2016-76 Authorizing Publication of Ordinance No. 603 by Title and Summary Moved by Anderson, seconded by Cousineau, to adopt Resolution No. 2016-76 Authorizing Publication of Ordinance No. 603 by Title and Summary.
