Zoning File #1517 April 13, 1990 Page 2 of 2 Based on the designated wetland air photo maps at City Hall, this small pond is not a designated wetland, and has existed as an artificial pond since prior to 1970. A site inspection and review of the topography suggests that this area was probably a low wet area but probably not a significant wetland prior to the pond's original construction. In response to the question whether the City should require a Conservation and Flowage Easement ever this artificial pond, the City Engineer indicated that the value to the public of this pond is relatively insignificant as compared to the 8 acre artificial lake adjacent to it, and that the watershed feeding the pond is only about 3 acres, almost all of which will be within Lot 2, Block 1. Glenn suggested that it is probably not necessary to require a Conservation and Flowage Easement over this pond, especially since its water level will be artificially maintained. Staff Reconmendation - Based on the above comments, staff would recommend approval of the conditional use permit for reconstruction of this artificial pond under the following conditions; 1. All dredged spoils to be trucked off site. 2. Proposed stone wall to be at least 75' back from the shoreline of the adjacent artificial lake. 3. Adhere to indicated plan, with 5’ maximum depth at center of pond, 1'-1'6" depth at pond border. 4. Stone platform patio area extending into pond is approved as a part of the project. 5. Applicant or applicant's agent shall obtain the required land alteration permit prior to commencement of work on the pond. 6. Applicant and applicant's contractor shall place and maintain appropriate erosion control methods (silt fence, etc.) to keep any of the disturbed areas or temporarily dredged spoils from moving into the adjacent lake. Upon final grading, the disturbed shall be immediately seeded or sodded to minimize erosion.
