Associate Planner Wald explained the in/perviOus surface restriction was established in an <br />attempt to limit and monitor site runoff to the Rum River. She stated that run-off from the site is <br />proposing to be discharged into an existing regional stormwater system that adequately pre-treats <br />runoff to the satisfaction of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). She noted that the <br />adjacent parcel (the old Amoco site) is alSo located within the Wild and Scenic River Overlay <br />District and received a variance in 1988 to allow up to 55% impervious surface area. <br /> <br />Ms. Wald indicated that based on DNR's comments and thc fact that the property would be under <br />utilized without the issuance of a variance t° impervious surface restrictions, Staff recommends <br />approval contingent upon official certification by the DNR. <br /> <br />Public Input <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt opened the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. <br /> <br />There was no citizen input. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Board Member Johnson to close the public hearing at <br />7:11 p.m. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
