Planning & Zoning Board July 8, 2020 Page 5 APPROVED MINUTES Mr. Root inquired of the storm water management capacity considering nature is unpredictable and it can be difficult to plan for every weather scenario. Ms. Hankee explained in the event we receive a significant storm, the pond is equipped with an emergency overflow system. Chair Tralle wondered if a major catastrophe were to occur, can the Vickers be assured that the City would repair the pond. Ms. Hankee reminded the board the City has a drainage and utility easement on the Vickers’ property and the City owns the storm water pond; therefore, the City is responsible for maintaining it. If a catastrophe were to occur, ideally it would be contained within the easement and the City would fix any downstream erosion issues. In order to protect all City and private property owners, baseline data was gathered for existing ditches as well. She also noted data was gathered for the Nelson property. Mr. Root made a MOTION to recommend approval of the Final Plat of Nadeau Acres subject to conditions listed in the staff report. Motion was supported by Mr. Evenson. Motion carried 6 - 0. Chair Tralle abstained. C. Poehling Addition Final Plat Ms. Larsen, City Planner, presented the staff report. The applicants, Jerome and Mona Poehling, submitted a land use application for the final plat of Poehling Addition. The applicant proposes to subdivide the existing parcel into 2 single family lots for the purpose of constructing one (1) new single family home. The lot is located at 6790 West Shadow Lake Drive and is 0.78 gross acres (34,023 sf) as measured above the OHWL. Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat for Poehling Addition. Board Comments Mr. Reinert commented on the shoreline buffer requirements of the new lot being imposed on the existing lot. He asked if the shoreline buffer requirements are going to cause a lot of construction for the homeowner. Ms. Larsen stated a planting of native grasses will be required for the shoreline buffer. She also mentioned an equal amount of excavation will occur on the existing and new lot for the mitigation area. Mr. Reinert asked the Poehlings if they had any issues with the shoreline buffer requirements.
