• • • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Mayor Sullivan noted that the preservation development requires each new plat to do an environmental survey, which she had not yet seen with this application. Mr. Smyser stated staff got existing conditions and tree coverage information very early in the review process which was looked at by the Environmental Board as well as the drainage issues and environmental preservation. Mayor Sullivan addressed the concerns raised about traffic, noting Centerville Road is not anticipated to be upgraded through the Comprehensive Plan. She asked if the church or the athletic complex would create the traffic impacts. She stated her impression that the athletic complex would be a greater impact. Mayor Sullivan inquired regarding the Anoka County requirement for turn lanes. Mr. Smyser corrected that there will be turn lanes and a by -pass lane. Mayor Sullivan stated that it appears that there is a request for almost 100 extra parking stalls than required for this building. She stated that this is a higher quality lake than most in Lino Lakes and she believed the City had a responsibility to assure it is preserved. Mayor Sullivan stated her concern about parking to the south of the site along the lake d why 100 additional spaces are being proposed.

Council Member Berges stated he knows of some older buildings with gravel/crushed rock parking areas and it has been the City's position to get them paved. He asked if this would be an alternative for overflow parking areas where runoff is a concern. Mr. Smyser stated that gravel and rock parking lots have been studied and it was found they are essentially impervious surfaces due to compaction. It has also been found to be more detrimental to water quality than paved surfaces since silt and dirt are pulled into the water runoff and deposited into the lake. Mr. Nordness stated the Phase I pond can contain two (2) back -to -back 100 -year events and the parking lot drainage goes to the pond. Mr. Don Shafer, engineer representing the applicant, stated this is correct and two (2) back -to- back 100 -year storm events will not exceed the capacity of the pond.
