August 22, 1977 Page 6 <br />traffic and if the two family dwellings were put in, they would just contribute <br />to the problem. Mr. Zepper stated that he felt with all the driveways, parking lots, <br />and streets being put in, that a great number of trees would have to be taken down. <br />Mr. Zepper reported that the water from the area most likely would go across Long Lake <br />Road, then down Long Lake Road, down Louisa and end up at Bona Road, where there already <br />is a problem area. <br />Mr. Zepper pointed out that the proposed parking lot for Donatelle's is directly <br />across from a residential area and that cars coming out at night would have their <br />lights shine directly into the homes across the street. Mr. Zepper also questioned <br />the fact that only one road would provide access to the duplexes and asked what would <br />happen in an emergency. <br />Mr. Olson replied that the present zoning for the property is commercial and that they <br />are not changing that, or the drainage flow. He stated that the holding pond would <br />be at 896', which is the level it is presently at. Mr. Olson also pointed out that <br />right turn lanes would be provided to the commercial area from Highway 10. <br />Bob Stoner, 2454 County Road H2 stated that he felt Mr. Olson was relying on the proposed <br />storm sewer system to take care of the water problems and asked what would happen in the <br />meantime. <br />Mayor Pickar replied that there were several parcels at the same level and that they <br />must use this land at present until the storm sewer goes in. <br />Mr. Zepper asked if everyone in the City would be paying for the storm sewer. Mayor <br />Pickar replied that it would be paid for by the property owners. <br />Stan Kruger stated that he was a representative of Wilmus Properties and that he felt <br />the water table would rise with the development and questioned how much it would rise. <br />Official Rose replied that the elevation is the same as is Scotland Green's and that the <br />Staff's preliminary evaluation is that it is of the 100 year criteria and that it would <br />support the runoff alright. <br />Mr. Olson stated that the culvert under Long Lake Road would not be touched. He also <br />stated that the City has indicated to him that it does not require the pond but that . <br />the developer is required to maintain the pond until the storm sewer system is put in. <br />Mr. Kruger asked when the storm sewer would be put in. Administrator Achen replied <br />that the Council is presently discussing the project and looking at the different <br />possibilities. <br />Ed Donatelle, 5269 Jeffery Drive stated that he would be putting a 6' hedge around <br />the parking lot to protect the home owners across the street from the car lights. He <br />reported that the water will be draining into the ditch and that they will put in a <br />manhole, if required. Also, the trees would be left on the west side of the property <br />to provide a buffer for the parking lot. Mr. Donatelle also stated that Donatelle's <br />would definitely be buying the property for the parking lot if the Council approved it. <br />Administrator Achen pointed out that the Council could require that Donatelle's be <br />involved in the plat right now to insure that the land is developed by Donatelle's into <br />a parking lot. Administrator Achen also stated that the City would want the two parcels <br />owned by Donatelle's to then be made into one, and that a written agreement could be <br />worked out. <br />
