Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 21,2014 Page 20 and the developer engineering plan was intended to make sure there was no change or increase in that water movement, but as hard surfaces were installed (e.g. roofs, driveways, etc.) calculations would reflect those changes to ensure there would be no alteration in the direction of water flow. Councilmember Etten opined that the water may go in the same direction, but it would certainly have more velocity with the revised grading on the site; and if heavy rains occurred during the construction process, that water would all glow into the wetland. Therefore, Councilmember Etten requested assurances that short-term silt fences were installed; as well as addressing long-term water movement at a higher rate and appropriate drainage. Mayor Roe noted that the City required a grading permit that would initiate their monitoring of the process and any mitigation required. Mr. Fair responded that with blanket and mulching,better drainage and vegetation would occur within the first growing year; as well as relocating contaminated soils and making sure that the site was completely cleaned up, without erosion is- sues; and providing a much more aesthetically pleasing than its current condition. Mayor Roe assured Mr. Hanson and Mr. Fair that the City would be monitoring that as well; and advised that the City was aware of the garage design issue and would keep their request in mind. No one appeared to speak for or against this project. Etten moved, McGehee seconded, approved the proposed Owasso Preserve PRE- LIMINARY PLAT of the property at 301-303 S Owasso Boulevard; based on the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission and detail of the RCA dated July 21, 2014; subject to a Park Dedication Fee, pursuant to City Code, Section 1103.07, in the amount of$7,000 prior to the signed Final Plat be- ing released to Ramsey County for recording purposes; amended (Willmus) to accept park dedication cash in lieu of land in the amount of$7,000 to be made by the applicant before the signed final plat is released to Ramsey County for recording. Councilmember McGehee suggested addressing the garage design as part of this approval; with City Attorney Mark Gaughan advising that this would not be legal- ly applicable to this motion. City Manager Trudgeon concurred; advising that the developer would need to ap- ply for a variance to incorporate that design change; however, he anticipated that the revised ordinance language would come before the City Council for consider- ation and possible action at their August 11, 2014 meeting.
