Voting Yes: Chairperson Nixt, Commissioners Johnson, Shepherd, Van Scoy <br />and Watson. Voting No: Commissioner Brauer. Absent: Commissioner Reeve. <br /> <br />The public hearing was closed at 8:02 p.m. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated he would like to make sure Staff thoroughly reviews the Tree <br />Preservation plan and the landscape plan for providing a 25-foot buffer strip. He indicated this is <br />exactly the type of deve!opment the Tree Preservation Ordinance is meant to cover. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt commented there are some delineated wetlands noted and filled in. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski advised they will need to comply with the Watershed District <br />requirements. <br /> <br />Brian Johnson, Hakanson & Anderson, stated they have applied to the Watershed District and <br />received approval. He noted they are filling in less than 400 square feet. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated there seems to be several issues on curb and gutter, but not a significant <br />impact on the site plan. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski agreed. He indicated all of the issues have not yet been addressed, but <br />they will be. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if there was any anticipated impact on the trees in Fox Knoll. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated any impact would be to the trees along the south side of Alpine <br />Drive where it gets wet. He indicated most of them are not significant trees. There may be a few <br />small red oaks that require tree replacement. He noted it is mostly wetland vegetation. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated the drainage pond is fairly significant in size. He asked if it was a <br />conduit for other ponds or just serving that section. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson stated most of the site will drain toward that pond. He indicated it is a similar <br />elevation to existing wetlands on the site. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt questioned the sidewalk on the north side of a fairly deep pond. <br /> <br />Mr. Johnson stated the slopes are 4:1, 5:1; well within the guidelines. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/June 5, 2003 <br /> Page 7 of 23 <br /> <br />P? <br /> <br /> <br />
