Mayor Johnson stated that they had asked Mr. Hall to take special note of the
lighting and drainage situation at the last meeting and commented about the
layout of the gameroom and how this could be policed.
Mr. Hall displayed a map of his proposal and stated that he hopes this shows
that he is trying to follow Council's guideline and do what they asked. He said
they worked very closely with John Bearden and wondered if it would be more
proper for him to answer any questions Council might have. Mayor Johnson said
it was up to him.
Engineer Bearden spoke on the contour map of the site showing drainage from
north to south conforming to Rice Creek Watershed District with two small
holding ponds 1 -1/2 feet deep with 100 foot overflow from each composed of a
baffle or weir and proposed sodding on the ground.
Mr. Hall said he would rather seed the area.
Engineer Bearden said there would be redwood posts 6 x 6 with a 2 x 8 weir
installed in the driveway from the highway up to the south end of the existing
parking lot reconstructed with a crown so that any water coming off the parking
lot will go into the holding area. There would be four flood lights along
Highway 10, two 1001 watt flood lights on the south side behind the building,
two 1001 watt flood lights on the north side of the building. The four along
the highway would produce 2.17 candle power to maintain light. There will be
no additional lights behind the building other than security lighting.
Mr. Hall said he plans to install a redwood trash enclosure instead of a cyclone
fence. Mayor Johnson asked if 2.17 candle power would be sufficient to light
the parking area. Engineer Bearden said sources he had checked proved this to
be sufficient.
Mayor Johnson asked if there are any dark areas that would not be lighted.
Mr. Hall said the only area would be the back area that is not lighted, it is
only covered by security lighting in clusters of three every 50 feet which is more
than what is required. Mayor Johnson asked Engineer Bearden if he was satisfied
with the lighting. Engineer Bearden said the only point he would like to bring
out at this time is that if a road was installed between the Mermaid and property
west it is possible that some road lighting may then have to be added. Otherwise
it is sufficient.
Councilman Baumgartner asked about the weir required by Rice Creek Watershed.
Mr. Hall said they are not really holding ponds. Engineer Bearden said the
letter from Rice Creek Watershed was not in great detail, but conversation with
the District's engineer revealed this would be sufficient with the small depressed
area behind it. The original suggestion was that the ponds be 2 -1/2 feet deep then
one of the contours was eliminated, and now they .are 1 -1/2 feet deep. It is only
necessary that water doesn't flow faster than 1/2 foot a second.
Mayor Johnson asked how the area would be constructed to keep water from going
down the road.
