Date: steven D. Gatlin, Public Works Director REVIEW OF AL KEHR DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR December 8, 1992 or To: Rick Jopke, Assistant Community Development From: RE: Engineering and Public Works staff have reviewed plans recently submitted by A1 Kehr and his engineer and architect for his proposed Parkridge Development project. We assume that at this point the plans are preliminary in nature and that engineering staff would have an opportunity to review and approve all final plans prior to the issuance of any permits for this project. with this assumption in mind, we would make several comments regarding the plans submitted and suggest they be transmitted to Mr. Kehr and his engineer for follow-up modifications. 1. Drainage The plan submitted by Mr. Kehr and his engineer includes an on-site ponding area for the property to comply with city requirements. This pond would provide on-site storage for increased runoff such that the post-development rate would not exceed the pre-development rate. However, Mr. Kehr has indicated that this alternative is not acceptable to him in that it ruins the aesthetics of his project. He has asked the city to explore other alternates for off-site, regional ponding facilities that would be built as a public project and benefiting properties assessed. Mr. Kehr has submitted a petition for public improvement which would initiate an engineering investigation by Rosevi11e staff of this concept. The petition will be reviewed by the City Council and a feasibility study may be ordered. However, in a preliminary manner, we have reviewed the concept of regional ponding and, based on 'submittals by Mr. Kehr, would make the following comments: a. The submitted plan includes the concept of locating a regional treatment pond on part of the city's leaf site. This concept would involve loss of approximately 25,000 square feet of usable space from the present leaf site.
