COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 <br />Mayor Sullivan noted that the preservation development requires each new plat to do an <br />environmental survey, which she had not yet seen with this application. Mr. Smyser stated staff <br />got existing conditions and tree coverage information very early in the review process which was <br />looked at by the Environmental Board as well as the drainage issues and environmental <br />preservation. <br />Mayor Sullivan addressed the concerns raised about traffic, noting Centerville Road is not <br />anticipated to be upgraded through the Comprehensive Plan. She asked if the church or the <br />athletic complex would create the traffic impacts. She stated her impression that the athletic <br />complex would be a greater impact. Mayor Sullivan inquired regarding the Anoka County <br />requirement for turn lanes. Mr. Smyser corrected that there will be turn lanes and a by-pass lane. <br />Mayor Sullivan stated that it appears that there is a request for almost 100 extra parking stalls <br />than required for this building. She stated that this is a higher quality lake than most in Lino <br />Lakes and she believed the City had a responsibility to assure it is preserved. Mayor Sullivan <br />stated her concern about parking to the south of the site along the lake d why 100 <br />additional spaces are being proposed. <br />Mr. Smyser explained that while the church services do not r m ers arrive before the <br />current service has adjourned or participants left the sit <br />Mayor Sullivan inquired regarding green parking <br />show that green parking is functional. He <br />green parking cannot be used during s t <br />that while other projects have ask <br />ser stated he has seen nothing to <br />earch on this issue and problem that <br />conditions due to plowing issues. He noted <br />o viable method has been identified. <br />Mr. Finneman stated the C ence could be incorporated into the final design. He <br />stated there is a great of .tability and he believed that issue can be worked out and <br />resolved. He stated th s fled, at this stage in the design, engineering issues. <br />Council Member Berges stated he knows of some older buildings with gravel/crushed rock <br />parking areas and it has been the City's position to get them paved. He asked if this would be an <br />alternative for overflow parking areas where runoff is a concern. Mr. Smyser stated that gravel <br />and rock parking lots have been studied and it was found they are essentially impervious surfaces <br />due to compaction. It has also been found to be more detrimental to water quality than paved <br />surfaces since silt and dirt are pulled into the water runoff and deposited into the lake. <br />Mr. Nordness stated the Phase I pond can contain two (2) back-to-back 100 -year events and the <br />parking lot drainage goes to the pond. <br />Mr. Don Shafer, engineer representing the applicant, stated this is correct and two (2) back-to- <br />back 100 -year storm events will not exceed the capacity of the pond. <br />11 <br />
