Councilmember Woestehoff noted that it would be easier to integrate the wetland if Lot A is a <br />park. <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood stated that the apartment owner would not <br />be happy with this. He added that if the park is next to Armstrong and Bunker Lake, sound could <br />be an issue. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan added that if the waterfront is incorporated into Lot A <br />there will be no beach. He said that if it is moved it will limit the potential of the waterfront. <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood stated that they are looking at a 24 foot <br />water column and are hoping to have fish in the water. He noted that the water column depth does <br />not have sunlight penetration and therefore does not have the aquatic plants that contribute to algae. <br />He said that if the depth was built around the wetland they would have to maintain slopes and the <br />six foot depth of the wetland which would move away from the aesthetic goals. <br />Councilmember Howell stated that this will have a huge impact on the taxpayers and she does not <br />think that they owe it to the apartment building for the splash pad area to be in the exact location <br />that they want and the City should do what is best for all of the residents. <br />There was a consensus of the Council. <br />3.
