COUNCIL MINUTES April 28, 2014 DRAFT 136 137 Paul Whaley, 6200 Laurene, told the council that the proposed pond will fill with water as soon as it 138 is dug. He is a resident in the area and feels strongly that there will be more water run off with this 139 development and it will be a problem for other properties. City Engineer Wedel said the city intends 140 to watch development very carefully. If there are any issues that arise, the city will work on them. He 141 can attest that staff works hard to put the best possible plans in place. 142 143 Mayor Reinert explained the city's obligation when plans are received that meet requirements. The 144 council has been drilling down as much as possible on the plans though. He applauds the 145 neighborhood for engaging in this discussion and believes that should result in a better situation at the 146 end of the day. 147 148 When a resident requested that staff of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) walk the site with 149 him, Community Development Director Grochala explained that this site doesn't require a permit 150 from the RCWD because it isn't considered a substantial disturbance to the watershed. The city is 151 required to review and approve the drainage plans and the City Engineer has done that. 152 153 Council Member Roeser suggested that the city require that the water from both sides of the 154 development be run to the new storm pond rather than half to the street. Mr. Wedel explained that 155 the city cannot require that but could request it. The city can also look at the possibility of ditches. 156 Community Development Director Grochala added that both Linda Avenue and Laurene Street are 157 scheduled for inclusion in the city's storm water management program. 158 159 Council Member Rafferty added that he has been involved in this project review at the Planning and 160 Zoning Committee level. He appreciates the amount of neighborhood involvement it has received. 161 162 Council Member Rafferty moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 05 -14 as presented. 163 Council Member Roeser seconded the motion. Motion adopted on a unanimous voice vote. 164 165 Council Member Roeser moved to approve Resolution No. 14 -34 as presented. Council Member 166 Kusterman seconded the motion. Motion adopted on a unanimous voice vote. 167 168 6C — Resolution No. 14 -37 Approving the 1st Amendment to Wellhead Protection Plan Joint 169 Powers Agreement — Community Development Director Grochala reviewed the requirement for the 170 city to have a protection plan for its wellheads. The protection plan is handled through a joint powers 171 agreement with other cities. The amendment proposed allows the addition of another city. Council 172 Member Roeser received assurance that the joint powers agreement doesn't bind the city in any way 173 that would cause difficulties in the future. 174 175 Council Member Roeser moved to approve Resolution No. 14 -37 as presented. Council Member 176 Kusterman seconded the motion. Motion adopted on a unanimous voice vote. 177 178 UNFINISHED BUSINESS 179 180 There was no Unfinished Business. 4
