Barnhart noted according to the comments of the Watershed District, when the beaches are added in, then <br />the site goes over the de minimis criteria and it starts to become difficult to justify the impact to the <br />wetland. Barnhart stated the Watershed District sees the creation of the beaches as an alteration. <br />Thiesse asked if the beaches fall under the purview of the Planning Commission. <br />Barnhart stated it would need to go through a public hearing process. <br />Lemke asked why the beaches are on that side. <br />Fretham indicated the other side is lagoon and not as clean of water. <br />Schoenzeit asked if they will just be adding sand versus digging out muck. <br />Fretham stated they would be removing earth about a foot along the whole shoreline in the event of high <br />waters but that they would not be removing anything for the beaches. Fretham commented he is not sure <br />whether it is really a beach but that it is more of an access point to the water. <br />Lemke asked whether rain gardens were proposed at one time. <br />Fretham noted they went to a 100 -year stormwater system, which is shown on Lots 1 and 2. <br />Landgraver asked if the neighbor's concerns about drainage have been addressed. <br />Fretham indicated they will be capturing the hard surface runoff on the site and that the other dotted area <br />on the plan shows the detail of the grading that will take place along the common property line. <br />Landgraver stated the other concern was where the driveway would connect to the street. Landgraver <br />asked what the Council's thoughts were about that. <br />Fretham indicated the proposed driveway is as shown and that they have not made a lot of changes there. <br />Fretham noted they do not have a lot of control over it because the road pretty much dead ends. <br />
