CULVER'S Council reviewed the City Engineer's report dated July 8, 2009 relative STORM WATER to the treatment of storm water on the Culver's site located at the INFILTRATION southeast corner of Rice Street and Market Place Drive. It was noted that RATE both the Watershed District's and the City's storm water treatment regulations adopted this spring require a 48-hour draw down time for subsurface infiltration. In conducting its review of the Culver's site, the Watershed used some outdated review sheets and approved a 72-hour drawn down time.

The City Administrator noted that given the existence of the Market Place Pond in the storm water treatment area, this is not a major issue. The City Administrator noted that the City Engineer is recommending approval of the 72-hour drawn down time as was approved by the Watershed District. Keis asked the impact on Culver's if the City does not approve the request. The Administrator indicated that Culver's would have to install a larger storm water containment system. Montour asked if this is considered a variance from the City's current policies. "The Administrator indicated that there have been developments in the City that have complied with these new standards.

The Administrator pointed out that the area is unique given the existence of the Market Place Pond which serves the larger area. Keis stated that he did not support a variance from the City's newly adopted standards. He can appreciated that the Watershed made an error in processing their permit, but felt the City should require compliance with
