Mr. Zepper stated that he felt with all the driveways, parking lots, and streets being put in, that a great number of trees would have to be taken down. Mr. Zepper reported that the water from the area most likely would go across Long Lake Road, then down Long Lake Road, down Louisa and end up at Bona Road, where there already is a problem area. Mr. Zepper pointed out that the proposed parking lot for Donatelle's is directly across from a residential area and that cars coming out at night would have their lights shine directly into the homes across the street. Mr. Zepper also questioned the fact that only one road would provide access to the duplexes and asked what would happen in an emergency. Mr. Olson replied that the present zoning for the property is commercial and that they are not changing that, or the drainage flow. He stated that the holding pond would be at 896', which is the level it is presently at. Mr. Olson also pointed out that right turn lanes would be provided to the commercial area from Highway 10. Bob Stoner, 2454 County Road H2 stated that he felt Mr. Olson was relying on the proposed storm sewer system to take care of the water problems and asked what would happen in the meantime. Mayor Pickar replied that there were several parcels at the same level and that they must use this land at present until the storm sewer goes in. Mr. Zepper asked if everyone in the City would be paying for the storm sewer. Mayor Pickar replied that it would be paid for by the property owners. Stan Kruger stated that he was a representative of Wilmus Properties and that he felt the water table would rise with the development and questioned how much it would rise. Official Rose replied that the elevation is the same as is Scotland Green's and that the Staff's preliminary evaluation is that it is of the 100 year criteria and that it would support the runoff alright. Mr. Olson stated that the culvert under Long Lake Road would not be touched. He also stated that the City has indicated to him that it does not require the pond but that . the developer is required to maintain the pond until the storm sewer system is put in. Mr. Kruger asked when the storm sewer would be put in. Administrator Achen replied that the Council is presently discussing the project and looking at the different possibilities. Ed Donatelle, 5269 Jeffery Drive stated that he would be putting a 6' hedge around the parking lot to protect the home owners across the street from the car lights. He reported that the water will be draining into the ditch and that they will put in a manhole, if required. Also, the trees would be left on the west side of the property to provide a buffer for the parking lot. Mr. Donatelle also stated that Donatelle's would definitely be buying the property for the parking lot if the Council approved it. Administrator Achen pointed out that the Council could require that Donatelle's be involved in the plat right now to insure that the land is developed by Donatelle's into a parking lot. Administrator Achen also stated that the City would want the two parcels owned by Donatelle's to then be made into one, and that a written agreement could be worked out.
