Mr. Hlavka commented that there are berms on the property to divert and slow down water. He stated that if the cul-de-sac is installed, he is concerned with the high volume of water in the springtime. Dave Foresman, 8100 151st, stated that his main concern is the water runoff pond proposed which is adjacent to his property. He was concerned with the nuisance that could be created from the pond such as bugs, mosquitos, and snakes. He asked who would maintain the pond and where water would go if the pond were to overflow. Mr. Dehn commented that he has not spoken with the neighbors prior to tonight and could understand their concerns. He commented that they did not just draw lines to split the lots, noting that they are working with the engineer that is also working on the Lennar project. He stated that his engineer is working with the City Engineer to develop the appropriate stormwater plans. Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Peters, to close the public hearing. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners Anderson, Peters, Hunt, and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Walker. Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 7:30 p.m. Commission Business Commissioner Gengler asked the zoning of the Lennar property to the south. City Planner McCann replied that property is R-1 MUSA. Commissioner Anderson asked how comfortable staff is with the engineering details, as there have been a lot of comments about water tonight. City Planner McCann replied that in the first round of review there were corrections to the plans. He stated that new plans were received this morning and he has not heard any new comments. Planning Manager Larson replied that the stormwater had to do with around the cul-de-sac and out, noting that the flow area is unbuildable and would not impact the lots or septic areas. Commissioner Anderson stated that he does have concerns with the adjacent property and the impact that this development could have on drainage and pooling water. He stated that he would like to hear from engineering that the stormwater pond would work. Commissioner VanScoy stated that there have been a lot of concerns related to drainage and ponding. He asked the process that the City uses to validate plans. He asked if the Commission would need to wait to make a decision or whether the normal process would resolve those issues.
