Properties has applied for site plan approval to <br />construct a retail center on Lot 1, Block 1, Riverview Estates. The subject property is located in the <br />Critical River Overlay District and as such, the impervious surface area, which includes structures and <br />pavement, is restricted to 30% of the lot area. The site plan reflects an impervious surface area <br />calculation of 77%. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that a letter from Mr. Robert Collett of the DNR was received stating <br />concerns regarding the amount of impervious area as it affects water quality. Mr. Jankowski <br />explained that Mr. Collett's main concern is the size of the detention pond on the proposed site plan. <br />Mr. Jankowski further explained that the size of the proposed detention pond is 110 feet x 50 feet <br />x 5 feet which would be sufficient to hold up to a two inch rainfall. Mr. Jankowski added that Mr. <br />Collett's letter had miscalculations that would lead one to believe that the proposed detention pond <br />would not have adequate size. <br /> <br />Public Hearing/Board of Adjustment/June 4, 1996 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
