September 12, 1977 Page 4 <br />Allen Zepper, 5255 Irondale Road, stated that he felt there was a large difference <br />between acre footage versus acre. Administrator Achen explained that while the <br />width and depth would vary between acre feet versus acre, the capacity would be the <br />same. <br />Mr. Zepper stated that the Army Corp of Engineers defines wet land as any land on <br />which cat tails grow and stated that the development would have to have their approval. <br />Mr. Saabi, a representative of the developer, stated that the issue had been covered <br />in an environmental impact worksheet. <br />Official Rose stated that he had the DNR out to look at the land and the DNR <br />would not classify the area as Class III wet land. He stated that the report had <br />been submitted to the EQB, DNR, and others, totally 33, of which most were govern- <br />ment agencies. Everyone who would be required to issue a permit for the development <br />is presently reviewing the report. <br />Administrator Achen questioned if the EQB disapproves of the plan, if they would <br />have the final say in the development. Official Rose replied that they would with <br />respect to the wet lands, and that the report had been published six days ago and <br />that it usually takes 30 days to get a reply back. <br />Bob Rossman, 2504 County Road H- 2,asked if the letter from Short - Elliott- Hendrickson <br />stated that the water table would not rise with the first stage of the development <br />but would rise later as more was built. <br />Mayor Pickar replied that he understands that the first phase of the development <br />would not affect the water table. Administrator Achen also stated that Short- Elliott- <br />Hendrickson stated that they would have no problems with the first phase of the <br />development. <br />Official Rose reported that the main problem with the Second Addition would be that <br />it would involve developing on areas that are presently holding water. Lots 12, 13 <br />and 14, Block 1, Second Addition and Lot 1, Block 2, Second Addition should not be <br />developed. Official Rose also clarified that the First Addition would be the <br />duplexes on County Road H -2 and the parking lot for Donatelle "s. <br />Mr. Rossman pointed out that the minutes of the August 22 meeting called for further <br />information on the water table before and after the Scotland Green development. <br />Administrator Achen replied that the staff had searched the files but that no <br />information was available. <br />Mr. Roger Nelson, the engineer representing the development, stated that he had <br />spoken with Mr. Christoffersen of Short - Elliott - Hendrickson and that Mr. Christoffersen <br />reported to him that the water table had actually been lowered with the Scotland <br />Green development. <br />Ron Kritzeck, 2512 County Road H -2, asked what would be done once construction was <br />begun to protect the residents in the area from blowing dust, sand and dirt. <br />Mr. Nelson replied that there would be very little grading done in the area and <br />that the trees would provide a buffer. He also pointed out that as many trees as <br />possible would be saved during the development. <br />Administrator Achen pointed out that the City could write into the development <br />agreement the number of trees that would have to be saved, <br />
