McMillan asked whether they would require any type of buffer. Curtis indicated they would not be considered a wetland and as such would not require a buffer. Rahn questioned whether the drainage plan would still be accurate without the input from the MCWD. Curtis stated Staff is unsure whether the storm water treatment will be a requirement. Jerry Sather, Applicant, stated they will be meeting tomorrow afternoon with the Watershed District and that after tomorrow they will have more clarity on what they require. McMillan asked what amount of fill will be required. Sather indicated the amount of fill is minimal and that they anticipate moving the dirt around on the site rather than importing it. Rahn asked if the properties will be prepped now or as the properties are sold. Sather indicated it will be done as the properties are sold. Sather noted the grade of the driveways will be a maximum of 10 percent and that they will be working with a ratio between the garage and the setback. McMillan asked how wide the lot will be that has the existing house. Curtis indicated it is 50 feet in width and 9,000 square feet in area. McMillan asked if the house will stay. Curtis indicated to her understanding the plan is for the house to be removed and that the structures that encroach over the lot line would be required to be removed. McMillan asked if the current house meets the setback requirements of the new lot line. Curtis noted it is an existing, nonconforming structure. Mattick pointed out there will not be a new lot line for that lot. Rahn asked who owns the structure that crosses the lot line. Curtis indicated it is a garage and that it is in common ownership. Rahn commented it was his understanding that all the structures would be removed. Curtis indicated to her understanding they will all be removed.
