Task Force <br /> • Meeting #15 <br /> July 6, 1978 <br /> Page 3 <br /> THE RESOLUTION: <br /> 1. Natural water systems shall be inviolate. <br /> No development shall alter the rate, quantity or quality of surface or <br /> subsurface water, draining from, through or to the land developed. Water <br /> leaving the developed area shall continue to flow in its established <br /> patterns and routes. <br /> Natural water routes , ponds , marshes , peatlands , etc. shall not be altered, <br /> except as needed to retain or conduct away storm water. In any case they <br /> shall not be decreased in size. <br /> A margin of natural land shall be left around such areas, as open space <br /> to be used for wildlife or as parks. <br /> No development will be allowed in an area possible to flood. <br /> 2. Natural land forms shall be inviolate. <br /> To maintain the historical , natural topographic land features, which <br /> have great aesthetic value, and to encourage open space, land would <br /> be suitable for building only if the only excavation necessary would <br /> be for the building itself. Thus hills would not be cut down; low <br /> spots would not be filled, and the land would not become monotonous. <br /> Addition <br /> Farmland use: <br /> Farm-land would not be altered regarding the draining of low spots. <br /> Undesirable (prone to erosion land would not be row cropped, or even <br /> used as pasture if danger great enough) land would be limited in use. <br /> Desirable crop land would not be developed for housing, or used for <br /> commercial or industrial tracts (large). <br /> Jerry Fahrmann <br /> William F.

(18 yes 0 no) <br /> N. Loeding reported that the City Council ordered studies of two areas of <br /> • storm drainage problem, and has requested, from the Task Force, names of <br /> engineering firms for one of these studies. We would like to recommend <br /> firms that are noted for taking advantage of natural drainage opportunities. <br /> However, it does not make sense for such a firm to study a highly built up <br /> area, such as that along Woodcrest Drive, while a "big pipe" outfit studies <br />
