Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 15, 1994 Page 25 1 Commissioner Makowske asked if the money were available, what kind of an improvement 2 could be obtained. 3 Mr. Palmer reported that Barr Engineer ran a water-quality model on the lake for the conditions. 4 as designed and the maximum amount of ponding which is approximately eight times the 5 proposed pondage. If eight times the pond volume were installed, it would cost another 6 $300,000 and would only remove an additional 2%of total phosphorous load to the lake. 7 Diane Schroeder, St.Anthony resident, asked if 35 people can stop this project, what can the rest 8 of us who are in support of the project do. 9 Chair Gondorchin stated that the community has demonstrated it's support.=for-this project. He 10 stated that it is time for the homeowners.on the lake to think again and look at what they are 11 doing to the.community. He stated his opinion that if this project does not go through, we will 12 not only have a dying lake but also a dying community. 13 Commissioner Bergstrom suggested that supportive community members contact Greg Downing 14 at the EQB and express their opinions on this matter. Richard Gueslind, St. Anthony resident, asked if it would be possible for the Council to get 06 together and issue a petition for the Home Owners Association to drop their petition. 17 City Attorney Soth stated that this could be done but there is no provision in the law for that 18 being given any effect. He reiterated that the residents have demonstrated their support for this 19 project at the meeting tonight. 20 An unidentified resident stated that with Apache the way it exists, we have 20%of our run-off 21 going into Silver Lake and with this project it will be reduced to 5%which is a 75% reduction. 22 If the project does not go through there will be a 0%reduction. Why risk this, to get a 2% 23 improvement which is not economically feasible. He feels the homeowners on Silver Lake are 24 taking a great risk by jeopardizing this project. 25 Chair Gondorchin stated that he sees nothing but solid support of the project in terms of the 26 development.
