Council member Stigney noted that in the past Saturn Dealership has had more cars on their lot than allowed. He asked if he can expect, with the additional space, to see them complying with maximum requirements. Mr. Jim Price, of Saturn Dealership, responded in the affirmative. Council member Stigney asked if they intend to follow the landscaping plans in regard to the numbers of trees/shrubs proposed for the site. Mr. Price stated this has always been the case in the past. Council member Quick asked what they intend to do about Storm Water Run-Off. Mr. Ericson explained that they will use the existing 30 foot setback from Highway 10 that would run the length from County Road H-2 down to their primary entrance. There is a tiered swale that would detain the water at a couple different levels and then by the time it reached the entrance, it would divert into the Highway 10 Right-of--Way. This plan is acceptable to the Rice Creek Watershed District.
