• r 1 1. 2. 3. 4. 0::0N0 COUNCIL tnSETING HELD JANUARY 12, 1976 The Conmiaslon reconmendad to the Council approval of the fill and drainage plan with the following stipulations: That the plan allow only the normal fill and grading required for the house plan previously presented to the City. ^Only natural fill materials be allowed in the house construction. That the City Engineer approve the plan. That the retaining wall be taken out of the plan and the area left in its natural state A letter from Engineer Rick Sathre» representing j the City’s Engineering Department, stated ttati ni, : * . • ' "In accordance with your letter of January 6/ 1976, I have made an on*slte inspection of the subject' property and have the following comments and reconinendations. The plan as submitted, entitled Drainage Plan, Proposal A, calls for the gradii^ of a drainage ditch on the southerly edge of Femdale Road to the east. This ditch, if constructed, would Z feel, result in the loss of several large trees easterly of the proposed house location in the right-of-way of Perndale Road. A dit^, if constructed, would necessitate the installation of two culverts; one each under the existing driveway and the proposed driveway. These consequences of constructing the ditch as proposed, lead me t‘ believe that this is not the proper solution wO this drainage problem. X would recommend that the owner be directed to retain the low area along Femdale Road and his northifesterly property line in its natural state and to construct a flat drainage swale between the two elm trees (to the west of the proposed house) and the westerly property This ditch should have a bottom elevation of 933. Under this proposal, the minimal amount of water normally entering this drainage way would be percolated into the soil, thereby creating no direct nm-off to the lake. Zn the event of •n large rainfall, however, the swale would allow the water which is backed up, to overflow into the lake. Zf these reeonswndations are followed, the low area will function very much as it does presently, in that the overflow m the lake at present, occurs whan the water reaches 933 elevation. This oeeurs after the pocketing of water to a depth of roughly 5 inches. Since the water would net be retained to a level higher than is presently the caae, the adjoining property owner to the west should have no cause for alarm. .
