Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes October 18, 1994 Page 6 1 Beduhn stated that the surface area of each of the ponds was 1/4 acre and the maximum depth 2 was 4 to 5 feet. The side slopes would be 3:1 and the average water retention would be 2-3 feet. 3 He did not know if any protection would be installed around the ponds. He explained that a wet 4 detention system requires space and as this is a retrofit system, there was a limited space issue. If 5 there was run-off, it would flow overground into the railroad yard and Silver Lake Road. 6 Franzese asked how often the sediment would be removed. She also asked if the plan was 7 designed to handle the run-off from the snow when it was moved to other areas of the parking 8 lot. 9 Beduhn stated that according to the proposed maintenance agreement, a yearly survey would be 10 done and the volume of sediment would determine the need for excavating. A volume of 50% 11 would necessitate excavating. This would be more than enough to ensure the operation of the 12 ponds. He reported that there is an existing storm sewer system in the parking lot. Regrading 13 will be done to direct all the melted snow into the sediment ponds. 14 Gondorchin asked what volume of water was being redirected to Silver Lake Road. 15 Beduhn reported that there is no water being redirected. This is a water control project to 16 improve the water quality going into the system. 17 Dennis Cavanaugh,president of C.G. Rein Company(Owner of Apache Plaza), furnished an 18 exhibit of Apache Plaza after redevelopment has been completed. At present, Apache Plaza is 19 generating$20 million in retail sales. CUB and Knox are expected to generate $60 to $70 20 million per year in retail sales. He explained that there are 5 ingress and egress points of access to 21 the mall and expressed that he didn't see a problem with the traffic that will be generated with 22 this project. There will be 91,000 square feet of vacancy with the property from New Market and 23 SAV Liquor Warehouse. There have been various options presented for this vacancy but no 24 decisions have yet been made. There will not be a direct access from CUB Foods to the mall at 25 this time, as it would adversely affect CUB Foods parking space. There may be a possibility of a 26 covered walkway on the south wall. 27 Bergstrom asked if there would be a protective fence surrounding the detention ponds. He also 28 asked about the proposed signage for the properties. 29 Cavanaugh responded that the issue had been raised but not thoroughly resolved. If it appeared 30 that these areas were adversely affecting the area,by being a danger to children,then the issue 31 would be addressed. He explained that the proposed sign package for CUB and Knox would be 32 addressed at the next Planning Commission meeting. In response to Makowske's questions, 33 Cavanaugh reported.that New Market and SAV Liquor store will remain vacant at this time. 34 Gondorchin announced the proposed agenda for the November 15, 1994 Planning Commission 35 meeting. In regards to CUB Foods,the issues are 1. Lot split and 2. Variance request. The
