Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 12, 2016 Page 16 asked if the City requires setbacks from a dedicated wetland. Mr. Freihammer stated the floodway is defined based on what they know the elevation goes to. That is typically when it is going over and outside of the wetland area. In general, the floodway is at a higher elevation than the wetland. Councilmember McGehee stated she is trying to understand how DNR regulations and wetland regulations dovetail with the City’s Shoreland Ordinance. Mr. Frei- hammer stated they would have to make sure any disturbances are outside of that 25-foot distance from the edge of the wetland to meet the wetland and storm wa- ter management sections of Code. Mr. Freihammer stated he is not sure whether, as part of the Shoreland Ordinance, this is a designated body of water. He does not believe it is. Councilmember McGehee stated she does not know what those State regulations are for wetlands or how much you can do or how close you can go. Councilmember McGehee stated she has noticed during a heavy rain, the street that runs from Ferris Lane down into North Gluek Lane carries a lot of water di- rectly onto this site. She felt that should be a consideration though she likes to avoid mitigating when possible. Councilmember McGehee stated she is con- cerned about that basin and as she looks at the map, wondered whether the drive- way and parking area are included as part of the setback. In addition, she is dubi- ous about the proposed lot width, thinking it is too schematic given the number of problems and issues with the wetland, water, arbitrary distances, and guess on the lines and final distances. Mayor Roe asked about the existing storm water system eastbound between Ferris Lane and Gluek Lane. Mr. Freihammer stated there are catch basins and storm water inlets to pick up water at the intersection, which may tie into this location at South Gluek Lane or go around North Gluek Lane but either way, it would con- vey into the same storm system. Mayor Roe asked whether Gluek Lane has curb and gutter. Mr. Freihammer answered in the affirmative and stated it is a 32-foot wide road just like Ferris Lane. Brad Koland, Applicant and Property Owner at 1926 Gluek Lane Brad Koland stated he is not familiar with the bench handout mentioned by Mayor Roe. Mr. Lloyd stated it was a communication forwarded to him this morning about neighbor’s concerns and alerting them to the time and place of to- night’s meeting. Mr. Koland stated he will be providing the Council with some additional infor- mation. He opined the proposed subdivision meets all and exceeds most outlined criteria by the City Code. It also addresses the concerns voiced by his neighbors concerning any additional water runoff by the development. Mr. Koland reaf- firmed his sympathy to residents who are dealing with drainage issues and indi-
