As applicant advised in that review, they sought permission to stock pile approximately 10,000 cubic yards of fill to be excavated from the sub area of the proposed addition. The approximate area of the stock piling per the submitted grading plan, Exhibit J covers approximately 100' by 600' along the west border of the property. As Mr. Vogt, the architect for the applicants noted the area to receive the fill slopes abruptly from the west property line. The abrupt bank will be made into a more gentle slope and would improve the drainage in the rear portion of the site which applicant claims is now poorly drained. An inspection at this time of year, given the very dry season, nothing apreirs i�)orly drained at this point. The more grAduated slopes will indeed slow up drainage during heavy run-off. As Glenn Cook asked in the earlier review of the grading plans, the berming has been shown to the east of the stock pile and continues along the south border to the drainage outlet at the southeast corner. Note the drainage from WS' drains down to the railroad track eastward to the outlet at the lake, review Exhibit I.
