Special City Council Meeting Wednesday, December 16, 2015 Page S After ensuing discussion, and as previously voiced by individual Councilmem- bers, without objection, at the suggestion of Councilmeinber Etten, Condition C was revised to strike the last two words: "whenever practicable." Condition E(�Ex�anded Condition proposed bv staff to address runoff� Councilmeinber Willmus expressed his interest. in not having the condition stipu- late that the applicant may need to re-grade to address drainage that would in turn cause the loss of mature trees with the proposed substitute language. While rec- ognizing the importance of protecting Langton Lakes, Councilmember Willmus expressed his concern with the potential loss of the existing buffer of mature veg- etation to any greater extent than was necessary. Councilmember McGehee suggested including language in terms of re-grading versus the loss of mature trees while addressing the need to filter drainage into Langton Lake. Mayor Roe suggested adding language such as: "... for any portion of the site not reasonably re-graded to drain runoff toward existing infrastructure, with consider- ation given to existing mature trees.. ." Councilmember Etten expressed appreciation with such an adjustment for Condi- tion E; stating his preference to retain trees. Councilmember Laliberte expressed her interest in being reassured that, should there be an old existing sewer drainage pipe in place, the applicant is prevented from hooking up to those old lines. As written in the proposed expanded lan- guage, Councilinember Laliberte stated she found it too vague. Councilmember McGehee sought clarification as to where the old existing pipes were located as well as areas of wetlancl pockets. Councilmember McGehee questioned if staff was attempting to state that everything installed had to be con- nected to the stormwater infrastructure located under Mt. Ridge Road. Coiincilmember Etten suggested designating that in the proposed expanded lan- guage. Mr. Culver recommended langl.iage to clarify "existing public infrastructure" or "new public infrastructure." However, Mr. Culver noted that, without this condi- tion, and given new stormwater manageinent requirements, staff would not allow the applicant to keep any old infrastructure anyway. Condition F (fann-tvpe implements� Councilmember Willmus proposed revising this conclition to leave the hours, but strike the remainder of the condition related to driving on public streets.
