Applicant Representative Derik Lash, Project Engineer with Rehbein, 9651 Naples Street, Blaine, MN Mr. Lash addressed questions of Commissioners, including the current building square footage of 14,000 and the proposed addition between 3,000 — 3,500 square feet, with plans having been submitted to the Building Inspection Department for approval. Mr. Lash further addressed the proposed stormwater system, and conditional approval by the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) for the infiltration-based system based on soil conditions, with the intent for a bio-filtration system similar to a rain garden and similar to that already existing and with similar slopes to those existing along Cleveland Avenue. Mr. Lash advised that they were not planning on removal of any existing trees, other than several (5-6) Oak trees that were dead, but would be replaced with plantings of similar size, and anticipated at 9-10 replacement trees. Mr. Lash advised that the pervious parking was part of the site plan and conditional approval had been given by the RCWD. Discussion included defining pervious paving for new Commissioners; examples of other sites to observe pervious pavers; declarations and maintenance of the entire drainage easement as per standard operations for approval by the RCWD and the City; and confirmation for new Commissioners that no commercial development could exceed existing runoff and mitigation options to avoid such additional runoff; advantages and disadvantages of fencing infiltration ponds, at the discretion of the property owner based on nuisance, maintenance and hazard concerns with both options; and noting that fences also kept out emergency personnel as well as those violating the fenced-in area.
