CITY COUNCIL MEETING, MARCH 1, 1983 -7- R. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT: A. Ne'1's'on'gag'en'an'Re'zon'ing - Continued 3. Letter from County Planner Robert Lockyear noted that LockyearSs letter, while stating R-1 zoning would allow greater density than RR zoning, does not acknowledge that the proposal is consistent with the Comp Plan and all the present requirements of the City. In response to the comment on high ground water - agrees with the City Engineer that there will have to be more detailed plans developed at the time of the preliminary plat. Identified the high water table sites and the slope areas where onrsite disposal systems may be a problem. High ground water is located on less than 2 acres of a 32 acre parcel. 4. Soil conditions - no specific comments from the PZC - have addressed and will further develop plans for septic systems in the questionable areas. --Al Borsheim, Gun Club Respresentative - Certified Soil Inspector for PCA - addressed soil questions at the PZC meeting. All 120 soils on the map have high water tables - with water tables running 3/5 feet. All D marked soil types indicate a 12-18% slope. According to County Ordinance cannot put a septic system in any slope area that exceeds 12%. Cannot use drop box or mound systems and have to have less than 12% slope fora septic system. 49 type soils,where there is sand and gravel and the water table is greater than 6 ft. in depth/ creates a rapid perc rate and a possible contamination of Yround water. Another problem area is where the cul-de-sac 11T"'1'.s - area is low and has a 3 ft. water table. Club was ( aware of the development of this property - also aware and familar with the soils as'the same type of soil -runs through the Gun Club property, --Bohrer - 120 soils and steep slopes are areas where septics are either. difficult or cannot be put in. This does not mean a house cannot be placed in this area - only that it is not suitable for a septic system. Could possible place homes on the lots as shown on the concept plan. --Mazzara - asked if it would be reasonable to have the developer buffer his area from the Club. --Whittaker - believe R-1 development can be accomodated on this site if it were redesigned on the east of the property. Ordinance does not specifically provide for a developer to berm and/or buffer his property from commercial. --Fraser - would like to see the long term changes addressed and the effect of the Gun Club on surrounding property. --Loucks - willing to work with the Gun Club on buffering, but want assurance on the zoning of the property. --Rich Rudman,Director of the Gun Club- active in the noise abatement program - Council should be aware that it would be impossible to assure 'a noise reduction to the Nelson/Hageman property until it is physically achieved and can be measured or the Club can prove it has a technique available, at which point some assurance can be made to this effect. --Morgan - outlined the pro and cons for both parties - concerned about the safety factor and some need for a buffer zone and a provision where the Gun Club will not be forced to restrict their activities or leave the City. Also concerned about the soils - Recommended delaying action on the rezoning until the full Council is present - and, suggested the developers and Gun Club meet and try and develop a compromise for buffering and land use.
