MINUTES CITY COUNCIL FEBRUARY 8, 2023 4 Chris Cardinal, 2755 Lakeside Court, asked if this is planned to be a private street. The Community Development Director replied that this would be a public street. There were no further comments from the public. Upon motion by Gutierrez, seconded by T. Miller, the public hearing was closed. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Motion adopted. The City Engineer provided details on the drainage plan proposed for the site, noting that with the exception of the southeasterly corner would drain to the “bathtub”. He stated that the site cannot discharge water faster than it currently does, therefore the stormwater basin would handle the drainage and release water at a slower rate than it currently does. He stated that the model does include impervious surface for the entire site and generally speaking would include potential future impervious uses. He stated that consistent with how other developments are managed, the stormwater basin would be transferred to the City for ownership and maintenance. Mayor Fischer asked and received confirmation that stormwater facilities downstream would not be impacted by this addition. The City Engineer stated that this site would be managed the same as other sites within the city for plowing. He noted that the expectation would be that snow would be handled onsite and not be pushed onto private property. The Parks & Rec/Community Services Director provided information on city snow plowing and noted that when necessary, they do remove snow from areas and haul that offsite. The City Engineer stated that he would not expect new traffic control on Edgerton Street, but the new street would have a stop sign leaving the development. He did not anticipate traffic impacts on Edgerton from construction. He stated that generally speaking the new development will sit uphill, higher than Edgerton Street. He suspected that some aspect of the homes would be visible from Edgerton. He also identified where the access to the development would be compared to the resident’s home across the street. McGraw asked if the developer would be tasked with removal of ash trees and whether that would be a part of calculation of replacement trees. The Community Development Director replied that ash trees would fall into the category of trees that should be removed and would not have to be replaced. The City Engineer commented that the street lighting would be reviewed during the final design process, noting that perhaps two street lights would be added. He stated that the current grading plan would create a swale/depression that would run to Outlot A, which would prevent water from going onto the properties of the residents that spoke. He noted that the southeast quadrant would remain untouched and drain as it does today. Mayor Fischer commented that the developer will have to follow best engineering processes to ensure the neighboring tree is not damaged. He referenced the comment that the agenda had changed prior to the meeting, noting that is not unusual. He stated that the agenda and packet tend to be updated, but nothing materially changes. The City Administrator stated that on occasion, minor updates and additions are made to the packet. He stated that typically that is done two to three days before the meeting, but noted that a grammatical change could be made up to the time of the meeting.
