At the time of the issuance of the permit, the City will review the erosion control and the <br />applicant will be required to obtain a permit from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. <br /> <br />Miller asked what the current erosion plan is. <br /> <br />Curtis stated if he is referring to the home that is going to be constructed, there should be erosion control <br />fencing up. <br /> <br />Thiesse noted there is fencing and straw bales up above the top of the bank. <br /> <br />Miller asked what the distance is of the fencing. <br /> <br />Thiesse stated he does not know the exact distance but that he walked the property today and the length of <br />the fencing appears to be close to the length of the gray line depicted on the overhead.. <br /> <br />Curtis displayed the survey on the overhead. <br /> <br />Miller asked if that is in the 0-75 foot setback. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated the plans show the fencing is supposed to be outside the 0-75 foot area. <br /> <br />Miller asked what the purpose is of the silt fence. <br /> <br />Curtis stated the purpose is to protect soil and debris from entering the lake from the construction project. <br /> <br />Miller asked who checks on that. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District as well as City Staff. <br /> <br />Miller asked if the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is represented at tonight’s meeting. <br /> <br />Curtis stated to her knowledge they are not here tonight. Curtis asked if there is an issue with the erosion <br />control. <br /> <br />Miller noted there have been some pretty heavy rain storms recently. <br /> <br />Curtis stated Staff can check on the situation tomorrow. <br /> <br />Miller noted one of the Commissioners said he was at the property today and asked if he didn’t notice that <br />there was erosion going down to the lake beyond the silt fence. <br /> <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 08/19/2013 <br />Approval of Planning Commission Minutes 07/15/2013
