Zoninq File #1078 <br />October 16, 1986 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Discussion: <br />City Engineer, Glenn Cook, reviewed the site with applicbiit <br />on 10/16/8E. Cook rioted that the water is apparently higher than <br />it has been in the past as evidenced by large trees not standing <br />in the water. The property contains many dead or dying trees at <br />the perimeter of the pond and the pronosad excavation of the pond <br />and spoil di sposa 1 at the perimeter v: i 1 1 help to "dress -up" the <br />pond, make it more functional and attractive to waterfowl, and <br />retain the entire runoff from thL. pond's watershed. <br />Applicant notes he has omitted islands or nesting sites <br />aecause they may become an attractive nuisance to his children. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Given Glenn Cook's favorable comments and support of the <br />project, staff recommends approval per the proposed plans. All <br />dredge spoils must remain on the site at the perimeter of the <br />pond. Vegetation to be re-established around the pond as soon as <br />is feasible. No need for special er.osior protection measures is <br />anticipated. Applicant is advised to contact the Minnehaha Creek <br />Watershed District to determine whether_ they will require a <br />permit, although this project would not appear to be of the <br />magnitude or consequence normally requiring MCWD review. , <br />r <br />
