Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 12, 2016 Page 24 Mayor Roe noted there were not a lot of questions raised that need to be answered by a question-by-question method but, perhaps, more general information can be provided. He asked Mr. Koland if he would like to specifically respond to any- thing said during the public hearing. Brad Koland, Applicant and Property Owner at 1926 Gluek Lane In response to the question about storm water best management practices (BMPs), and the rain garden, Brad Koland stated they showed it to the Rice Creek Water- shed last week and talked with them about infiltration rates, which is 24 hours on their existing rain garden. He explained the Rice Creek Watershed mandates 48 hours for infiltration and has conducted infiltration tests at 1926 Gluek Lane, at the corner. Mr. Koland stated they talked with Rice Creek Watershed about doing a curb cut. The City of Roseville cooperates with the Rice Creek Watershed, which has a storm water improvement plan (bench handout) where they could do a curb cut before the storm drain to catch the first flush, which carries all the con- taminants. Mr. Koland acknowledged there was a lot of commentary about the drainage of his specific lot but if you think about it, when talking about water rights or water obligations, his is for 1,000 gallons, which he is able to manage anywhere on his lot as he sees fit and is functional. He used a lot diagram to point out another space where he could manage a significant amount of rain water and do more benefit to the overall neighborhood by taking the first flush and all of the contam- inants out of that portion of streaming water. Mr. Koland also spoke with the Rice Creek Watershed about areas of other catch basins but was told there’s not really much he can do there as far as storm water drainage basins because the catch basins collect the water coming down from the Ferriswood development. Mr. Koland stated he has done a lot of research on rain gardens and offered to answer additional questions, if any. In response to the question posed by Councilmember Willmus relating to the Condition d, Mr. Freihammer explained with any grading plan, staff would assure it meets the City’s requirements and a certain design level. In this situation, staff would assure it is not in an area believed to be a floodway. Typically, if a new development, the design has to meet 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year requirements in terms of rate and volume control. Councilmember Willmus referenced the last paragraph of the September 12, 2016, memorandum (Exhibit E) and asked Mr. Freihammer if he believed Condi- tion d, as worded in the RCA, would capture all additional infiltration needs as a result of constructing a new home and satisfy Code requirements. Mr. Freiham- mer stated he cannot comment on the infiltration without seeing and confirming the soil tests but there is potential it could be mitigated by rate control through other means, similar to what the City did with the Corpus Christi project.
