Community Development Director Frolik stated the applicant has submitted a Grading and Erosion Control Plan that proposed to modify the drainage patterns from the site. She indicated this development proposes to collect runoff from the expanded development and direct it into a storm water pond located on the northwest comer of the site. She stated this detention pond would provide removals of 98% and 93% of National Urban Runoff Program standards for total suspended solids and total phosphorous, respectively. She noted the City Engineer has indicated the new drainage plans would improve the site over what is happening now. She indicated the DNR would need to approve the drainage plan, and would have 30 days to do so. Board Member Johnson asked if Staff has received feedback from the Rum River Water Management Organization. Community Development Director Frolik stated they have, and Rum River has approved the application. Public Hearing Dan Olson, 13747 Dolemite, stated he wants to address several issues, starting with the drainage and run-off. He indicated he would disagree with the statement that 98% of the run-off will be contained on the property. He presented photographs of the subject property and his property, noting they had to install shoring in their yard to prevent mn-off from the subject property. Mr. Olson indicated that with the grading on the south portion of the Superbowl, 10 to 15% is going toward his property to a detention pond on the north end. He stated it is quite evident there will not be a remediation affect for his yard. He indicated the other issue is they are proposing to have parking on the south side of the Suberbowl, which makes increased potential for damage to his fence. He stated with the spaces behind the Superbowl people will likely be backing into the space. He advised a track bed is typically three and a half feet, and unless they have curbing far enough away, he wonders what will happen to the fence after someone has been drinking for a few hours. Mr. Olson presented a photo showing the grade from the Superbowl to his property, and another demonstrating the view of Superbowl from his dining room. He stated when you take into consideration the grade is higher, they will get headlights over the fence. He indicated he does not know when the new owners took over, but it appears they are doing something right because the place is packed every night, even on weekdays when it was not before. He stated they will have headlights shining into their dining room late into the night. He indicated the last photo is another view from his deck, where you can see the back side of the fence they put up. He stated he would add that whatever they do as they put in a parking lot would be an improvement over the last six or seven years. Vice Chair Van Scoy stated they appreciate Mr. Olson's comments. He indicated this is a two step process, and the first is for them to deal with the impervious surface. He noted many of Mr. Olson's comments will be dealt with at the regular Planning Commission meeting immediately following this one. Board of Adjustment/April 1, 2004 Page 6 of 8
