She noted that the water quality from <br />the foundation drain was found to be excellent. <br />Mr.. Ulrich stated that the purpose of the berm was for <br />privacy due to the scale of the house. He stated that <br />the neighbors were agreeable to a 6' berm. <br />Councilmember Frahm stated that a 6' fence is not <br />allowed therefore a 6' berm should not be allowed. He <br />recommended a 3 -1/2' berm in relation to the allowed 3- <br />1/2' fence. It was noted that the ordinance does not <br />address berms, however, Frahm stated that he felt the <br />intent of the fence ordinance would include berms. <br />Mayor Butler stated that evergreen plantings would <br />serve the same purpose and blend in with the character <br />of the neighborhood. <br />Councilmember Frahm stated that he had concerns <br />regarding the installation of the foundation drain to <br />the lake and that the City should define the standards <br />before approved. <br />Mayor Butler suggested requiring a letter of credit and <br />developer's agreement for the landscape plan in order to <br />assure the completion of this project. <br />Councilmember Grabek stated that it should be noted that <br />no fence could be erected on top of the 3 -1/2' berm. <br />Attorney Tom Humphrey stated that they have no problem <br />with submitting the letter of credit and defering action <br />on-drain ditch until standards are established,.however <br />they were opposed to limiting the berms to 3 -1/2' feet <br />as the ordinance is silent regarding height of berms and <br />that there is no factual basis to impose a limitation on <br />the height of the berm. <br />K <br />
