recent wetland delineation definitively identified the boundary of the existing wetland. Barnhart noted wetland delineations do expire. Landgraver noted the most recent wetland delineation is the one that is relevant. Thiesse asked if the building elevations have changed. Fretham stated he cannot state they have been raised on the plan for certain but that he asked his builder to raise the floor one foot based on the direction of the City Council. Fretham stated the old set of plans from the Planning Commission meeting will have the lower elevation. Thiesse asked if construction vehicles will be confined on the site. Fretham indicated they will be and that the site is over two acres. Fretham stated the onsite parking area has been identified on the plans. Thiesse asked if the importing and exporting of material will be utilizing the same trucks. Fretham indicated it will be and that has not been taken into account in their numbers. Fretham stated the number of truckloads is a worst-case scenario and that making combined trips was not taken into account. Fretham commented while it seems like a lot of material, if they take a 2,500 square foot foundation and dig a 10 -foot basement, that amounts to 1,800 cubic yards for both homes. Fretham stated they are not really doing anything out of the ordinary, and while there will be a lot of truck traffic, it is not extraordinary for a home construction. Schoenzeit recommended the developer keep the truck trips down since that will also help preserve the road. Schoenzeit commented the developer has a vested interest in keeping the number of truckloads down. Landgraver stated the reason for the refined numbers on the truck traffic is so the people in the neighborhood and the City Council are making an informed decision.
