Community Development Director Gladhill indicated there was no requirement. However, if this <br />homeowner wanted to put a large garage in the rear yard, this would require traffic and the drain <br />field would have to be protected. He encouraged the Commission to plan long-term for this lot. <br />Commissioner Bauer supported staff's long-term planning for this lot. <br />Commissioner Brauer asked what water would be draining into the stormwater pond. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained the stormwater pond would assist with <br />managing the increase in impervious surface along with stormwater runoff. <br />Commissioner Brauer commented if the pond were to be moved, it would require a fairly large <br />pipe. He did not believe it should be made a requirement that every lot have access to the backyard. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported this was the case. He recommended the <br />Planning Commission make a motion regarding the location of the stormwater pond. <br />Motion by Commissioner Bauer, seconded by Commissioner Maul, to close the public hearing. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Levine, Commissioners Bauer, Maul, Andrusko, <br />Brauer, Nosan and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />Chairperson Levine closed the public hearing closed at 7:20 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Motion by Commissioner Brauer, seconded by Commissioner Nosan, to allow the stormwater <br />pond location to be worked out between staff and the developer. <br />Further discussion <br />Commissioner Andrusko questioned if the proposed location of the stormwater pond was wise <br />given the speed with which traffic would be handling the curve along Andre Drive. He feared a <br />car could slip into the stormwater pond. He asked if the City would be installing a guard rail. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented a sight distance exhibit would be drafted. <br />He understood the pond would be a dry pond and would only have standing water after large rain <br />events. He reported staff has not suggested the need for guard rails. <br />Commissioner Andrusko inquired how deep the pond would be. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill estimated the pond would be four to six feet deep. <br />Commissioner Bauer supported the developer making a determination on the pond location with <br />the future buyer of this lot. <br />Planning Commission/February 4, 2016 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
