ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETINGJANUARY 29, 2003 <br />8APPROVED MINUTES <br />Asleson expressed concern for the surface water management of the site as a <br />whole. Mr. Johnson responded that he would work with RCWD. <br />Asleson clarified that he had concerns in the east. Mr. Johnson answered that the <br />management in the residential area would compensate. <br />Asleson inquired about the depth of the pond. Mr. Johnson answered the pond <br />depth would not exceed 2 meters. <br />Asleson questioned the depth at which the water stabilized. Mr. Johnson <br />responded at 889.5 elevation or about 6 feet. <br />Asleson stated the water needed to be clean, because if the pond was too deep it <br />could turn anaerobic. He suggested grit oil traps could possibly be used. Mr. <br />Johnson answered that traps could be used and maintained by the gas station. <br />Chair Kukonen noted that there were 175 proposed parking stalls, and the City <br />requirement was 125. Mr. Johnson stated that it was the maximum depending on <br />the types of businesses. He assured the Board that if the spaces were not needed, <br />they would not be built. <br />Asleson inquired about input from the DNR. <br />O’Connell inquired the reason for not deciding between an office or a daycare. <br />Mr. Johnson responded that Greg could better answer that question, but they <br />wanted to get the City’s approval first, and to keep options open. <br />Chair Kukonen inquired about any comments from the RCWD. Mr. Johnson <br />answered that he had a preliminary discussion and they had concerns with the <br />water quality and therefore the rates also. They wanted clean water before it left <br />the property. The meeting would take place next week. <br />Donlin stated that the site was on a Lake Protection Zone and with no information <br />provided from the DNR and RCWD, doing their best was not good enough. <br />Members of the audience applauded. <br />Donlin continued that they were not able to review it adequately without the <br />information from those agencies, and indicated that it had not been rezoned. She <br />stated that Lino Lakes was different from other cities, and expressed concern for <br />the high water table. <br />Schneider asked for clarification that there would be 3.9 acres of impervious area <br />out of 5 acres on a Lake Protection Zone.
