<br />was adequate. He then explained that he had attempted to get the letter and was told by <br />Rice Creek Watershed District that they would not have approved the proj ect if the <br />ponding was not adequate. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis noted there is a regional pond in the industrial park. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that on the second page of the permit under <br />special stipulations there is a sentence that says if the pond is not completed at the time of <br />construction a NURP pond is required on site. She then indicated that the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission had asked Mueller Pipe liners to obtain a letter from Rice Creek <br />Watershed District indicating that the pond was a regional pond and no NURP pond is <br />required. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked whether Rice Creek Watershed District could <br />decide to require the NURP pond at a later date if they decide the existing pond is <br />inadequate. <br /> <br />Mr. Nordness indicated that the industrial park sites were all designed for that regional <br />pond. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg indicated that the company would be responsible for constructing a <br />NURP if Rice Creek Watershed District were to require one at some point in the future. <br /> <br />Mr. Coatney indicated that a NURP would have been required if the ponding had not <br />been done but the regional pond has been constructed by Mr. Rehbein. He also indicated <br />that completion of the regional pond to mitigate water on the site was part of the purchase <br />price for the lot. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis indicated that the site plan for KCI does not have a retention <br />pond because all the water from the site drains to the regional pond. City Engineer <br />Peterson indicated that the site currently drains to the pond. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she did not have a problem with the plan. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked if there would be any type of screening done. Mr. Coatney <br />indicated he had planted double the number of pine trees required and commented that <br />the residents across the street had called him to thank him for planting the trees. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Broussard <br />Vickers to approve the parking lot expansion for Mueller Pipeliners as presented <br />and require that the trees are never to be removed without the permission of <br />Council. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers requested a friendly amendment to the motion to <br />require that the company not be able to remove the tree line without permission of <br />Council. <br /> <br />Page 16 of25 <br />
