Ken Hopkins was present. Mabusth explained that Fairw,ay Hills Addition w'as a two lot subdivision derived from land adjacent to the greens of the Wayzata Country Club. It is an oddly configured subdivision which is impacted by Highway 12 at the southwest corner. Major concerns had been raised in developing residential lots close to the highway areas because of noise and visual impact so a berm was propr^sed along outer edges of road outlot. The property is served with sewer and water. There was no claim to seek credit of the drainage areas or wetland areas and was based on 2 acres dry contiguous land. By the time the property was developed, there was not enough room for berms and driveway at the western end of the outlot. The driveway must be w ithin an outlot so a lot line rearrangement has been proposed involving Lot 2 and the outlot. The engineer had definite recommendations for berm and a curb w ill be defined along the south side of the berms for drainage purposes. Before ground cover is restored, hay bales and silt fencing will be used to protect the adjacent wetlands. The existing berms will be trimmed down to 3:1 slope. 4
