• ROSEVILLE PLANNING OFFICE HOURS 9/18/91 4• Harvey Peterson, Dave Goldner; CATCO � Mr. Peterson and Mr. Goldner came in to discuss the conditions of approval to the variance they had requeste� at their building on Long Lake Road south of C-2. They are adding parking within the front setback area. Landscaping was the first issue, and we agreed that 6 overstory trees would be planted in the front yard, either evenly spaced or clustered at the drive openings, and shrubs at least 2-1/2' tall would be planted along the entire Long Lake Road frontage. Lighting was the other issue. building, which we indicated might be adequate,t ut we h ould need to see t h e i s o l u x d a t a f r o m t h e i r lig h t ing person in order to veri�y that the lighting levels met the design standards. They noted that the neighboring businesses offer some illumination to their parking area. We indicated that this could be factored into the lighting plan, but if the lighting at the adjacent fac�lity were to change in any way in the future, they would be required to add the necessary lights to bring their site up to standards. On an unrelated topic, Mr. Peterson brought up a drainage problem � between his property and the property to the north. Drainage is generally north to south on the lots west of Long Lake Road, and CATCO and several properties to the south have an agreement and easement�s to share drainage, The property to the north is not part of the agreement� but has been allowing �;ts atormwater to drain across CATCO's property in the middle of the lot, washing a�ray gravel on CATCO�s lot. When the current parking lo� work was being done, CATCO had its contractor build a small asphait dam at the north lot line to prevent this drainage from coming onto the property. Stormwater backed up on the adjacent lot, and the owner came Qn�o CATCO's property and cut a hole in the dam without Mr, Peterson's permissfon. Mr. Peterson did not �ike this and told his neighbor so. We explained to Mr. Peterson that it is each property owner�s r�sponsibility ta handle the drainage from their own lot and that, unle�s there is some mutual agreement, he does not need to take the drainage from his neighbor's lot if it is different from the way s�ormwater has flowed histor3caily, �• Richard Simmons, CMS (560-1237j Mr. Simmons is a developer and construction manager who has entered int� a partnership with a group of area doctors hoping to con�•�rt the former Mack Hotel at Fairview and County Road C into a ma�or � medical facility for Rosev�lle, Th� buildin remodelling, �aould house doctors� nffices, specializedWsurgeonse offices, and an after-hours emergency care facility served by an
