The public hearing on the Roland Miller request for a special use permit adjourned at 9:03 p.m. and Mayor Johnson called the regular Council meeting back to order. Proposed development contract for the Mermaid bowling alley. Administrator Achen stated that based upon the Council's request the developer has submitted slightly revised plans. The lighting has been altered, the kinds of shrubs, etc. have been specifically set forth. Chuck Hall of the Mermaid was asked if there is an area where he will use something other than sodding. He replied that he has a 110 -foot wide gravel area (actually 2 in. crushed rock) planned which will reduce the flow of water. Mayor Johnson asked if he had any kind of a catch basin so that it doesn't trickle out onto County Rd. H. Mr. Hall replied that the opening should be sufficient for water to go underneath the road into Rice Creek. There will be nothing lost in erosion on H. Councilman Shelquist asked if the access road on County Rd. H was going to become a channel. Mr. Hall replied that as of right now it can be directed onto a ponding area. There may be snow piled on the rock which is one reason why we decided to put the rock in: a chance to have water seep out when it comes. The Watershed District is concerned about erosion and the weir is to catch the debris. Councilman Baumgartner stated that the debris will end up in the rocks before it gets to the weir. Your problem is going to be to keep it clean. Mr. Hall stated that he hasn't had a debris problem yet and is not anticipating one. Mayor Johnson asked him how he proposed to keep the water confined to his lot. Mr. Hall replied that he plans to slow it down, not keep it on the lot. There will be about 15 feet of sod and 15 feet of rock as a buffer between his land and Herbst's. Mayor Johnson stated that curb and gutter keeps the water confined to the parking lot and controls where you want it to run. Mr. Hall replied that he is open to recommendations, just wants to do a nice job. If it looks nice he will put it in. Mayor Johnson mentioned that Mr. Hall has a 2 or 3 foot drop from his back door to where the blacktop starts, going from the back of the building southwest and off of his lot. There is no runoff to the east. Mayor Johnson asked how many lineal feet there are around the parking lot, and Mr. Hall replied that he had no idea but approximately 1700 feet.
