Proposal to construct new building and revision to site plan and drainage. Properties should be combined. Heard by architectural review board June 19, 1996. Mr. Burke, engineer, addressed planuing commission's requests from the previous meeting. He advised that they will install a board on board fence along a portion of the west side of the property at the end of which they will increase the existing landscaped buffer. Mr. Herbster asked if Great Northern Dodge owns the property where the existing chain link fence is located. Mr. Burke stated they are in the process of surveying the property and will be finished sometime this week. If the fence is on Great Northern Dodge's property it will be removed, and the board on board fence will be installed, and they will tie the neighbors fences into it. If it is on the residents property, they cannot remove it. Mr. Burke clarified that they will remove and replant the trees, per the forester's request. It was explained that plauniug commission had requested that the fence run from the proposed addition north to the edge of the parking lot, at which point the landscaping will start. Mr. Herbster stated that the forester suggested moving the sewer line and removing some paving, for parking, in the back to protect the roots. Mr. Burke responded that, in addition to moving the sewer line, they are going to move the detention to the rear and add some catch basins. He acknowledged that the forester had requested five parking spaces be deleted. It was clarified they have changed the drawings to reflect the topog'raphy and are raising the curb, so any excess water is contained within the pavement area and will eventually flow into the detention system. Mr. Burke believed the only water that will run onto the surrounding properties, will come off the landscaped buffer. Any interested parties were invited to come before the board. Mr. Limpert, resident, asked ifhe could run a drain pipe into the existing recreation center ditch. Mr. Tallon advised that he would have to ask the engineering department. Assistant City Engineer McDermott stated there is a complex drainage problem in the area, and is asking that the approval be contingent upon any plans being submitted to reflect a resolution to the entire problem. Currently, Great Northern Dodge is working on the problem and will submit a plan along with calculations, however, the engineering department, must review the plans and approve them, and Mr. McDermott feels, because of the complexity of the drainage problems an this area, they will have to examine the plans more thoroughly. Building Commissioner Conway stated that, at the bzd meeting, proposal number 1 was approved and they were given approval to start-work on the retention system with the blessings of the engineering department. Mr. McDermott clarified that at this time they do not yet have the plans. Mrs. O'Rourke arrived midway through this proposal.
