She feels the organization has very <br /> 11 good information available and hosts very beneficial planning <br /> 12 sessions , seminars , etc . <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Urbia will get information regarding costs for a group as well <br /> 15 as individual member costs . Chair Faust suggested that perhaps <br /> 16 individual members of the Planning Commission could attend <br /> 17 some of the functions on a rotating basis . <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Commissioner Franzese feels the Planning Commission needs some <br /> 20 type of continuing education. Having some experts brought in <br /> 21 to speak to the Planning Commission should be considered. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Commissioner Franzese inquired as to the status of the CUB <br /> 24 store and any information on the Community Center . She also <br /> 25 inquired what was available regarding water problems in Silver <br /> Lake . <br /> 7 <br /> 28 Urbia reponded that there is limited new information on these <br /> 29 matters . The Silver Lake Homeowners ' Association have <br /> 30 submitted a petition to the Rice Creek Watershed District <br /> 31 which reflects their concern for the Lake ' s water quality. <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Commissioner Franzese stated that the Silver Lake Homeowners ' <br /> 34 Association feels very strongly that Apache Plaza is a major <br /> 35 pollutor of the Lake and that the CUB project should not go <br /> 36 ahead without this issue being addressed. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Chair Faust feels there are two issues which are of concern <br /> 39 regarding Silver Lake, those being phosphates and trash. He is <br /> 40 confident that the owners of Apache Plaza are doing everything <br /> 41 possible to see the situation improves . <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Barr Engineering is conducting studies for the C, G. Rein <br /> 44 Company, who owns Apache Plaza . These studies address <br /> 45 environmental concerns . Barr is proposing placing thirteen <br /> 46 large holes on the property which will catch flow and remove <br /> 47 major particles . This will address the trash issue . Chair <br /> 48 Faust stated that the second concern , that of phosphates , <br /> 49 comes from fertilizer and vehicles which remain parked for <br /> 50 long periods of time . <br /> 0 <br />
