City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 25, 1997 • Page 5 1 Marks suggested that a berm could be installed on the southern edge of the property. 2 Mr. De Zelar stated this may cause flooding in the parking lot. 3 Wagner asked if the proposed drainage would help the water problem on St. Anthony 4 Boulevard. 5 Mr. De Zelar stated that the proposed drainage would have no effect on St. Anthony 6 Boulevard. 7 Faust asked if neighborhood meetings had been conducted in regard to this proposal. 8 Mr. De Zelar stated the only public meeting was the public hearing held by the Planning 9 Commission. 10 Wagner stated he was concerned that the Storm Drainage Task Force had not had any input in 11 this proposal. 12 Ms. Moore-Sykes noted that Ted McCrossan is a member of the Storm Drainage Task Force 13 and has been working with Mr. De Zelar. She had also received calls from residents and when she had explained the project, there were no questions or concerns. 15 Faust expressed his concern that this proposal was increasing the impervious surface in a 16 problem area and the Council had received no input from the Storm Drainage Task Force. 17 Mr. De Zelar explained that the addition is 12,000 square feet, but that it will only add 5,000 18 square feet of impervious surface as it will include the removal of blacktop and concrete 19 paving. 20 Wagner noted the requirement of a'parking plan and asked how this would be enforced. 21 Mr. De Zelar stated he was not certain what this requirement included. He had asked the 22 Planning Commission and they had suggested that he talk with the Public Works Director and 23 see what could be worked out. It may be as simple as asking parishioners not to park on the 24 street by means of the church bulletin. 25 Mayor Ranallo noted the only time that there is a parking problem is in the winter. Last 26 winter a notice was published in the Bulletin asking that there be no parking on the south side 27 of St. Anthony Boulevard and the request was adhered to quite well. 28 John Kuharski, 2709 Pahl Avenue, Storm Drainage Task Force member, stated that it had 29 been agreed by the Task Force not to allow any additional hard surface if it would increase Q0 the water flow into St. Anthony and this project does not increase the water flow. As this 1 project does not increase the flow, he is in favor of the proposal, both as a Task Force 32 member and as a resident.
