MINUTES OF A PLANNING CCWISSION MEETING HELD JULY 19, 1976 - PAGE 2 Hank Muhich stated that a meeting had been held earlier today at the Village Offices between John Holmquist of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District; Rod Hillstrom, Ryan Construction; Rick Sathre, City Engineer; Dick Benson and hank Muhich. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District was concerned that the proposed grading and drainage plan could result in higher rate and lower quality runoff than now exists. At this meeting, it was agreed that a french drain system would eliminate this problem. This system would consist of digging 4-S' trenches and adding a layer of 3" rock through the lower area under the surface grating. Quality would be controlled by grading down to a finer material before going into the storm sewer. Rod Hillstrom and Frank Zelley of Ryan Construction were present at the meeting. They submitted a statement regarding fulfilling M.C.W.D. requirements for the rate and quality of runoff. They will work with this system and submit for approval. Hillstrom informed the Commission that there would be sane water retention on the roof, but only for a short period of time. Pesek moved, Guthrie seconded, to approve site plan and elevation based on the stipulation that it satisfies the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and our city engineer as an adequate filter system. Dunlap suggested that any erosion problems be corrected as they come up. The Zoning Administrator informed Ryan Construction and the Commission that the unpaid sewer and water unit charges assessed against the property would have to be paid before the building permit is issued. John Lambin, contractor, and George Hanson were present. Lambin presented the plans to the Commission for the con- struction of a new home. They pleaded hardship to the land because of an approximate 2S' drop. The:-e was some discussion regarding moving the street. Dunlap moved, Pesek seconded, to approve this variance subject to changes in the plan whereby the two remaining substandard parcels would be eliminated. Two alternative suggestions were made: (1) Move location of unplatted street and combine all three parcels, or (2) Grant to the City a conservation easement over the two substandard lots. Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0). The Zoning Administrator informed the Conmission that because of the cancellation of the July 6th meeting, he had conducted a telephone poll of the Council and Commission Members to get the necessary approval of this variance. Guthrie moved, Hannah seconded, confirm- ing the telephone poll which was taken last week by Flank Muhich and approving the request for variance.
