LRRWMO Meeting Minutes September 16, 1993 Page 5 the ground will absorb water in the mean time since runoff will not be created until homes are constructed. Ottensmann pointed out that water runoff will be created as soon as grading work starts, and erosion will be a problem until the dissipator is in place. Smith indicated they will install a silt fence on the bluff line. He then distributed copies of the site plan showing projected improvements. Ottensmann stated he understands Smith's desire to proceed and not be delayed until next month's meeting; however, he feels erosion control needs to be addressed. Smith pointed out that most of the drainage will go towards the far western side of the property. He noted there will always be a space of time from when construction begins and the storm sewer is installed because it is usually the last thing done. Smith assured the Board they will take steps and use caution to avoid erosion. Schultz noted Smith is only going to develop the eastern part at this time, resulting in water runoff going to the low point by the curve in the road. Ottensmann agreed ponding will occur in the southwest corner of the site until storm sewer is in place. Smith clarified it is not his intention to blacktop this year. He explained he would like to install the improvements now but delay curb and gutter to avoid damaging them during grading work. Weaver questioned the potential for erosion and who suffers the greatest consequences if erosion does occur. Smith reiterated they will install a silt fence along the entire block which will be lower than the bluff line. He pointed out an area that they will clear which contains very few trees and can temporarily hold water. He added no one will be negatively impacted if water ponds in that location. Schultz indicated support of creating a temporary basin. Weaver asked what action the Board can consider which serves the best interests of both the developer and LRRWMO. Schultz indicated he would not like the project to go forward until he receives detailed storm sewer plans. Ottensmann .agreed this would be reasonable and suggested no building be allowed on the north section until the plans can be reviewed. Jankowski questioned the size of the pond. Schultz explained this issue has already been addressed and resolved. Smith added that the seller of the property agreed to bring the pond up to date and clean it to the original specifications. Schultz reported Beduhn has indicated he has no problem with the skimmer. In response to Weaver's question, Schultz reviewed the area involved and surrounding uses.
