MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 12, 1998 Dick Kimmes described the drainage plan as well as the filling that would be required. DeLonais asked if Mr. Kimmes has obtained the ponding easement from the property owner to the west, Brian Ducharme. Kimmes reported that he has had discussions with Mr. Ducharme, but had not obtained a signed easement at this point. Mr. Ducharme is present this evening and can speak on the issue of the easement. The City Engineer reported that the existing hole on the Kimmes property does not collect all the run -off from the property. The proposed pond would take about 75% of the run -off. John Grabrick, Greenbrier Circle, disagreed and reported that there are existing drainage problems on County Road B -2 at Greenbrier Circle. The City Engineer reported that his study was focused on the proposed Gilanderi Addition drainage, and if there are existing drainage concerns downstream, those should be taken up with the City Administrator and Public Works Director. The Engineer indicated that his goal with the Gilanderi Addition was to limit surface water run -off after a 100 -year storm to no more than pre - development levels. Chuck Plow, the engineer representing Mr. Kimmes, reported that the existing hole on the property is about 6 to 7 feet deep. The proposed pond would be 3 feet deep. Surface water would collect in the pond, and the pond would drain dry through controlled out flow. The pond is proposed to be located on the Gilanderi Addition property and extend onto the Ducharme property. Brian Ducharme, property owner west of the proposed plat, expressed concern that once the Gilanderi Addition is developed, he will have five new neighbors and if there are drainage problems after development, he will have to deal with these five neighbors. Ducharme indicated that some time in the future he might want to develop a couple of lots on his property, and expressed concern that the pond would present a problem for him. The City Engineer pointed out that Mr. Ducharme does not have to grant an easement allowing the pond to extend onto his property. Ducharme expressed concern that a lot of trees will be disturbed as a result of the development. Ducharme felt there were a lot of things for him to consider in granting this easement. Ducharme indicated that he did not want to cause himself problems in the future as a result of granting the easement. Ducharme pointed out that there are drainage problems 2 Page 16
