Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 15, 1994 Page 24 1 Watershed had suggested a low-flow diversion down Silver Lake Road and Silver Lane. He 2 stated that if these 2 things were done, he would be satisfied with the plan. 3 Mayor Ranallo reminded that they had tried to enlarge that pond but there is not enough 4 property. CUB and Knox have stated that if that pond is enlarged, they will not have enough 5 room for parking. 6 Regarding the roof run-off going directly into the storm sewer, Mr. Palmer clarified that a study 7 has shown the water quality of the roof run-off is higher than the present water quality in Silver 8 Lake. Because of this, the water is not being directed into the ponds. 9 Bill Mackey, CUB Foods, reported that when they presented their plan, they indicated that the 10 property as configured and with the proposed ponds, created a tight parking situation, but one 11 that CUB could operate with. He stated that if the size of the pond is increased, it will diminish 12 the parking area to an unacceptable level. He reported that CUB also has plans to expand this 13 store in the future. When they expand, they will diminish their parking even further. 14 Jim McNulty, St. Anthony resident, stated that he has lived in St. Anthony for many years and 15 Silver Lake has always had discoloration in the water. He reminded that the Village is cutting 16 the run-off from 20%to 5%, which is a big difference. He asked what the other entities involved 17 were doing for the lake..He questioned why the development was being held up because the 18 Village can't afford the last 5%due to the exorbitant cost. 19 Jeanette Dick, St. Anthony resident, asked how close the drainage pond on the south is to New 20 Market store. She suggested that the New Market building be demolished. There could then be 21 more parking and a larger pond could be built there. Mr. Cavanaugh reported that this was not 22 economically feasible. 23 Mary McCrossan, St. Anthony resident, asked if a compromise would even be possible with the 24 petition in place. She suggested that the first step may be to remove the petition. 25 Mr. Haik stated that the petition does not need to be removed so that the entities involved can 26 talk. They can sit down and talk at any time. 27 William Soth, City Attorney, responded that it is possible for the parties to get together and talk 28 but that Rice Creek Watershed District has elected not to do this. He suggested that the 29 Watershed District would very much like to see the City, Apache Plaza and the residents present 30 a compromise. The Watershed is being forced to make a very difficult decision in this situation. 31 An unidentified resident asked how many people had signed the petition. 32 Commissioner Faust reported that there are 53 homes on the lake, a church and the Salvation 33 Army Camp. Only 23 of the households on the lake signed the petition.
