be identified for rainwater in public areas. He stated that they looked at a regional stormwater ponding which would maximize the development of a site and funnel all rain water into a regional pond. He stated that there is enough available land in the area to handle this. He shared some of the challenges with this, including getting water to run uphill and spending challenges. He said this was presented to ARAA and they submitted a site plan with the stormwater infiltration done on site. Councilmember Musgrove asked if this is moved forward tonight with the infiltration basin remains, but the need for parking presents itself, could this be changed to be part of a regional ponding or an underground system. City Administrator Hagen explained the possibility of converting to a regional pond. He stated that the land that could be acquired for this also has other opportunities available for the site. Councilmember Musgrove asked about the cost of converting to a regional pond down the road. Mr. Sudtetgte explained that they have gone through many different options for stormwater management on the site. He stated that the cost to put the infiltration basin in the ground becomes quite expensive. He shared the preferred option is to use the area to the west for parking. Councilmember Musgrove expressed her concerns with parking. She explained that she likes the project and the potential. She asked about the potential of having street parking on only one side of Ferret Street if the need presented itself and a permit was given. City Administrator Hagen stated that is hard to determine where the cars parked are going and it would be difficult from a law enforcement perspective. Councilmember Musgrove suggested signage be displayed during tournaments. City Administrator Hagen said this was a possibility. He explained that when these roads are engineered they are done so to either allow parking on one side or both based on the standard. Councilmember Musgrove asked Council about approving this with a contingency that if there is any issues with parking that there be consideration for the 80 spot parking lot to be built in such a way that development can still occur but have this extra parking available. Acting Mayor Riley asked if the plans now include the fence along the property line. Mr. Sudtetgte discussed that this fence will run from the far east side to the west and it will extend a certain length beyond the western end.
