Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 11, 2016 Page 25 evidence of his lots, and referenced other lots as outlined in Attachment A to the staff report, and how runoff is channeled along the southern border of 2196 Mari- on Road due west of the southern edge of the 2201 property. Mr. Thomas provid- ed a photo of the storm drain that was higher than upstream ponding, even though initially designed to pick up runoff from that southern border. Mr. Thomas opined that any additional impervious area is placed on the 2201 Acorn Road par- cel, it will negatively impact the use of neighboring properties. Mt. Thomas fur- ther opined that a previous plat and plan for runoff containment in a 4-lot configu- ration seemed to provide the most adequate plan so far; but reiterated this latest plan seemed to abandon any formal control measures for these three proposed lots. Councilmember Willmus clarified with Mr. Thomas that he preferred the previ- ously approved plat with three lots and a private drive out to Acorn Road. Mr. Thomas stated he thought that was at least marginally adequate compared to this latest version. While this may generate less runoff than that previous plan, Mr. Thomas advised there wasn't enough detail provided to judge the impact on surrounding properties if three separate and individual lots are approved with no particular plan in place to deal with additional runoff. Paul Romanowski, 2195 Acorn Road (Written comments received czs pczrt of the record). As a resident immediately adjacent to this parcel, Mr. Romanowski reiterated his previously expressed concerns with runoff from this site; opining more construc- tion will only increase the situation, already a serious concern. Mr. Romanowski stated his understanding of the difficulty in analyzing future runoff issues, but asked that it be seriously considered, as addressed in his written comments. Fur- ther, Mr. Romanowski stated his difficulty in understanding the tree preservation system, noting there were currently a tremendous amount of nice trees in the area; and expressed concern that during construction they would all be destroyed, and questioned if they would be replaced with smaller trees that would take years to preserve and grow. Mr. Romanowski stated that if Councilmembers had lived in their area as long as current residents had, they' also enjoy the natural area, and pedestrian amenities; and stated the preference was to keep things the way they were now, but any changes should be seriously considered and those concerns ex- pressed by residents before voting on changing the neighborhood. Applicant Representative, Richard Kotoski, 2570 Grotto Avenue, Roseville Mr. Kotoski clarified that he had not been involved with any of the previous sub- division applications, he noted he was very aware of existing drainage issues. Mr. Kotoski stated he would comply with the wider easements as mandated by staff to address any future broader area mitigation efforts deemed necessary.
