Minutes of the Lake Elmo City Council, June 19, 1979 —2— CBa tist�Church — The final draft and landscape plan have been com— p eT wed. Mr. Traverna appeared to request the westerly driveway be moved. The City did not require them to move the driveway previously, as they agreed to flatten the approach in order to reduce the amount of car lights crossing the road. Mr. Traverna requested the access be moved an additional 18 feet west, to the catch basin, thereby allowing trees on his property to act as a screen. Mr. Vanman did not feel the Church should move the driveway. It has already been moved 100 ft.; and, the Church has made several compromises. Mottaz indicated he did not feel this should be a major problem to hassle over. The Church representatives agreed to move the driveway and asked if this would be their last appearance before the Council. The Mayor indicated it would and stated their building permit would be ready Wednesday. Mottaz moved, Armstrong seconded, to move the westerly driveway of the Baptist Church parking lot as far to the west as is permissible by the catch basin providing it meets the approval of the City Engineer. Motion carried3-0. D. Pepin Engineering — Mr. Pepin had five items to complete before Council action could be taken. Mr. Pepin presented his final plan; the Building Inspector indicated two items were not completed. The plan did not indicate two septic and drainfield sites and no provision for holding surface water was made. Surface water cannot leave the site any faster with paved parking area and buildings than it does without these structures. The site is 12,000 sq. ft. the building will be 6,000 sq. ft., thus there is no additional room for storage. Engineer Bohrer indicated this type of construction could affect adjacent property. The Council discussed various alternatives. Mottaz suggested the City Engineer and Pepin's engineer get together and develop a plan for holding the water on —site or provide for slow release. Mottaz also recommended the Council review the water storage question and set—up more precise guidelines for regulation. E. Other — Green Acres Bond Release — Armstrong moved, Mottaz seconded, to authorize the release of funds, not to exceed $15,528.60 for partial release of the Green Acres Bond, subject to approval of the City Engineer.
