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.
