Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 13, 2018 Page 2 a wonderful activity, then they might want to change to one of these garbage haulers. If people thought this was a disappointing or disturbing activity, they might consider chang- ing to a different garbage hauler. She showed a list of participating haulers from the "Garbage Haulers for Citizen Choice"website. 5. Recognitions,Donations, and Communications 6. Items Removed from Consent Agenda 91. Consider a Request by United Properties for a Conditional Use to Increase Roof Height from 45 Feet to 55— 1/2 Feet Pursuant to Table 1004-6 and §1009 of the City Code (PF18-102) City Administrator Trudgeon briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated August 13, 2018. Councilmember McGehee stated she was concerned about the stormwater pond and since they are asking for a Conditional Use, she wondered whether there would be interest in applying a condition of a buffer for the location around the pond so additional phosphates are not disbursed into the pond resulting in an un- manageable pond. She thought this was something the Council could request as part of the Conditional Use. She stated she would be amenable to granting the ex- tended height but thought it would be reasonable for United Properties to provide a small buffer to the pond. Public Works Director Culver stated Councilmember McGehee called to discuss this so he looked into it a little more. He has not seen a formal wetland delinea- tion of the area but the preliminary information is that it is already classified as a "storm pond." As such, the Watershed District will require at least a twenty-five- foot buffer around the wetland as well as a minimum setback for any structures or improved surfaces. He noted the City Council could put that in the motion as a condition of approval. Councilmember Etten thought twenty-five feet might be hard to maintain in some areas as the driveway is wrapped around the east side of the building. He won- dered if staff has looked at that yet. Mr. Culver indicated without having the formal building plans, they have not yet had an opportunity to comment at that level. Mayor Roe stated the shoreland ordinance has setback requirements both in terms of distance and structures. He wondered if those were in line with what the Wa- tershed District or the State has for requirements. Mr. Culver thought the City had higher restrictions for a five-foot larger buffer than the Watershed District requirement would be.
