Mabusth reviewed the staff report and stated that staff recommended approval of the requests subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Nolan commented that he felt that the grading was going to be close and was unsure that the swale would solve the drainage problems. Mabusth stated that this was what the City Engineer had recommended and that staff will require a final grading plan with building permit application for the engineer's review. Eric Liljequist stated that he had understood that the purpose of the depression was to hold the water before it ran off into the lake and now they were creating a swale to facilitate drainage into the lake which was confusing. Mabusth reviewed the elevations and the engineer's recommendation for mitigating the filling of the flood plain as required by federal flood control regulations. Nolan commented that the reason for the swale was to provide relief if the lake level rose above normal and provide somewhere for the water to go. It was moved by Schroeder, seconded by Nolan, to recommend approval of #1904 Conditional Use Perm.itNariance for Eric and Shelly Liljequist at 3940 Birch Lane subject to the conditions noted in the engineer's report and requiring the applicant and the engineer to resolve questions regarding the elevations prior to City Council review.
