v **The map submitted showing areas of flooding were constructed by the owners of 1885 and 1895 and constitute opinion rather than fact. The official drawings are merely measuring topography of the land. **A compost pile at 1895 is located on the easement and partially on the 1861 property. It is an impediment to the flow of runoff into the storm sewers. **Neither 1885 nor 1895 have done any modifications to the properties to mitigate runoff. 1861 is lower than 1885 and 1895 so the runoff accumulates in the easement and on the 1861 property. **Occupants of 1885 and 1895 "have spoken with the city planner, we told him we all support your proposed subdivisions and future site developmenY'. Further, "we have requested that the city pay particular attention to the storm water drainage issues as they go through their routine site development approvals at the time that those applications are filed." Further "we support you and do not want to block your plans for subdividing and site development." ** Concerns were expressed re blocking the view of drivers coming around the curve in the street would be blocked and be a cause of auto accidents. In fact, the view is blocked by a large evergreen on the 1885 lot. Using the setback requirements of the city, the view of the street would not be impeded by the new structure. Occasionally cars park along that area. A simple solution might be to post no parking signs. *"Professional staff of the City of Roseville indicated that the suggested subdivision "the application has been reviewed by staff of various departments, and it was found to be complete and not to raise any concerns related to City regulations administered by staff in those departments." **As previously presented, calculations by Brad Koland - a qualified professional engineer - have determined that the incremental runoff would be insignificant. We wish to incorporate his calculations and apply them to our application as well. "`*The size of the proposed lot is 42,788 square feet. We are proposing a 3,000 square foot house with a 900 square foot garage with driveways and sidewalks for an estimated total of 4500 square feet of impermeable surfaces which is 10.5% of the total area. This is well below the city requirement of 30% coverage or less. "*We have invited our contractor - who has experience with building on lots with potential drainage problems - to join us and talk about his experience.
