-2- Mr. Lundy indicated that a system of baffles as suggested by the Rice Creek Watershed engineers would be used to skim off the floating pollutants and settle out particle pollutants before they reached Langdon Lake. The floating pollutants would include gasoline and diesel fuel and the particle pollutants would include sand, etc, He indicated that the Phase II portion of the PIK development requires an underground storm wat&r drainage system and that a large filtering basin would be used to move contamin- ents from the water before it reaches the lake. Mr, Lundy stated that a 10 year storm is approximately 2.27 inches per hour. Discussion Yvonne Buckley, 1866 County Road C-2, inquired if the washing of trucks on the property would create a salt problem, Mr. Reese indicated that the washing of trucks is done insude the building and the salt is removed, therefore, there would be no problem. Mrs. Buckley asked if the ponds which are created behind the baffles after a heavy rain would smell. Mr, Lundy stated there would be no more odor than from the lake. The question was raised as to what assurance there would be that the applicant would remove the materials that are caught behind the baffles and settle to the bottom. Mr. Lundy indicated that it is in the property owner's best interests to remove the material because the more material that collects behind the baffles the longer the water which is ponded will remain on his parking lot. Mr. Mastel inquired if this system of baffles was being used anywhere else? Mr. Lundy stated that the baffle system was being used at the Ridgeda1e Shopping Center plus a couple of other sites that he was aware of. Mr, Grauel asked that since the ponding of the water behind the baffles would occur on the blacktop parking lot, what special arrangements were being made to assure that the blacktop would hold up. Mr. Reese indicated that they would be using higher strength blacktop. Mr. Don Hewitt, 1794 Maple Lane, Chairman of the Fairview Heights Civic Association, commented that they want to approach the application in a positive manner. He stated that if the rezoning is done then certain conditions should be met to protect the quality of life in the neighborhood. These would include: I. Collectors and treatment facilities to preserve the water quality of Langdon Lake 2, Noise abatement structures between the industrial development and Langdon Lake 3. Visual barriers between the industrial development and the residences across Langdon Lake, 4. Orientation of a fence of lights 5. Performance bond Mr. Hewitt stated that the residents would like to see a good berm around the entire industrial site so as to protect the residents from the noise and visual pollution which occurs. Mr, Arnold Blomquist, President of National BioCentric Company, stated that he waw three problems in the area.
