The DNR, Corp of Engineers, Watershed District, FWBl and the U.S. Soils Office have reviewed this proposal and the general indication is that there would be no detrimental effects to wild life, overall drainage patterns or water quality. A treated timber type of skimmer will be used. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the City Engineer, Glenn Cook has reviewed the proposal and finds no problems with the proposed construction. Kopischke noted that part of the application also will involve a formal pond area on the southern part of the site, that is part of an overall land scape plan for the property, with a fountain and a drain<ige channel. Chairman Kelley questioned whether the pond will hold water even in dryer years or whether water will have to be added to the pond. Kopischke stated that the fountain will eleviate the algae but the water level should stay even bused on the ground water elevations. Taylor questioned the principal occurance that is causing all the modification. Gregory nottid that it is the esthetics. It is a particular piece of land - the land wasn't de signated wetland until the partition of the pro perty occured. The pond also smells a lot of the time. Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the pond will still funtion to retain water in the low areas. Chairman Kelley clarified that since this is the first time that we ire allowing to alter wetlands, the performance standards that were or are being developed, do not include reviews by certain groups. Zoning Administrator Mabusth noted that none of the othc'r reviewing agencies have specifically asked to monitor except Dr. Hanson who is not really re quired to do the monitoring. Chairman Kelley concurred that we do not have in our performance standards what kind of review should be done by an outside specialist. 1
