Enivonmental Board Minutes <br />May 27, 2020 <br />Page 3 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />edge in the wetland area. There is no impact to the wetland. There would be more of a <br />concern if there was a well or storage tanks in the area. <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes was wondering about the soil infiltration with the extra land being paved for <br />parking. <br /> <br />Ms. Kimball, Barr civil engineer, the ponds have to be sized to handle the 2, 10, 100 year <br />water events. The Rice Creek Watershed will not allow a higher flow rate or more <br />volume of water to increase into the wetlands. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan mentioned that there are 5 areas in the proposal the board doesn’t have <br />results from certain studies. Areas being reviewed are Stormwater Management, Erosion, <br />Sediment Control, Recycling and a report from Rice Creek Watershed. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan made a MOTION to recommend the approval of the Conditional Use Permit <br />for the Laborer‘s Training Center Campus Expansion siting positive reviews on the five <br />studies that are pending and also with the staff’s listed recommendation #1-7 and <br />including #8 which is seeding the phase two area during construction of phase one. <br />Ms. Nelson seconded the Motion. Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br />VII. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Status of Annual Recycling Day <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson announced that hopefully in June, the monthly recycling day will begin again <br />and maybe a fall annual recycling day will be held. It is still uncertained at this time. <br /> <br />B. Water Conservation and Magnesium <br /> <br />Mr. Flower was curious if there was any more information about the magnesium in the <br />water. Wondering about educating the public about best practices in water usage as the <br />warm weather is approaching. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala stated that this issue will be brought forth to the council at the next council <br />meeting. Also on a side note smart irrigation has been installed in the city parks and <br />water usage should decrease by 50%. <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes would like updates on a site that we have approved. As example the storage <br />unit on Lake Dr. it doesn’t look like the plan is being followed. The trees were put in too <br />late in the year and the dead trees should be removed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
