MINUTES PUBLIC HEARING MAY 26, 1982 PAGE 4 Tom Goodman, Attorney for American Shelter Corporation, stated that the plat changed slightly because of the overlapping legal descriptions but the real estate is going to remain exactly where it is. No one is going to change the plans for drainage except that the drainage easements have been moved. The drainage is still adequate and the only thing that was changed was the boundary lines of the plat and not the boundary lines of the property. He points out that the legal descriptions are acreage descriptions and they are notorious for being inaccurate. This results in overlaps and gaps so the idea of changing the boundary line of the plat was simply that there would be no question by the Council as to these overlaps and gaps when the final plat is filed. 1 Il- A discussion ensued regarding the area for drainage and Mr. Westin advised that the hydrologist requires seven acre feet of storage for storm water on the site of which 4.5 acre feet will be in the area called recreation and water retention (north of Hewlett-Packard) and the change of Bevel feet in the boundary area will have no affect whatsoever on the retention area. The water draining onto Prior will be collected in catch basins and taken by a pipe down into the storage area to the south and if a sewer goes in, it can be hooked to it. The water that flows along the east will go into a Swale into the storage area (between Tatum and the project), which is just the surface water. These swales will be systematized and will be brought down into slots on the east side of the property and another slot on the west side of the property. Carolyn Gay, 1930 Summer, asks question regarding the Swale and a discussion ensued regarding the construction of the storm sewer drainage. Was underground pipe going to be used or not? Brad Lemberg advised that a complication was discovered since the Planning Commission meeting where- by the sloping at the cul-de-sacs would have to be changed because there was not sufficient depth. Therefore, the grade of the cul-de-sacs would be raised so that drainage could go both ways, rather than the total drainage going into the drainage Swale. The underground drain will now be located on Prior, which will carry the majority of the water. Walter Northrop, 1942 Summer, would like to hear more from the developer about his commitment to in fact produce this specific plan of construction and would also like to hear something about the order of planned construction for the area--what areas will the construction commence in. He would like confirmation that the Prior Avenue road would be a temporary and emergency nature. He also feels there is a misuse of the Ordinance because there have been no hardships demonstrated. The Ordinance should not be used to serve the convenience of the variance applicant but should demonstrate hardship. Jim Colten, 1760 Tatum, questioned whether it would be practical to convey the water to Prior underground. Engineer Lemberg stated that it could be done but whether it would be practical or not is part of the study that is being done by the hydrologist. ~o TOM GOODMAN, ATTORNEY, AMERICAN SHELTER CORPORATION HAROLD WESTIN CAROLYN GAY 1930 SUMMER WALTER NORTHROP 1942 SUMMER JIM COLTEN 1760 TATUM Maxine Harkness, 1879 Tatum, asks what is the amount of space between MAXINE the dwellings as she had been advised that it is 12 feet. She was informed HARKNESS, that the present Ordinance requires five feet from the property line 1879 TATUM for a one story and 7-1/2 feet for a two story.
