ROSEVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION Wednesday, January 12, 1994 17 Randy Peek, Architect for the Space Center, explained that 35W is parallel to the building face and the landscaping, both of which would reduce the amount of morning reflection, if there was some, from the sun raising in the east. Mr. Williams explained that berming along Long Lake Road to screen vehicles and the lighting systems to provide lighting within the pavement areas only. He also explained the screening and landscaping plan for the south side of the project which would include vines and conifers along the south property line. Member Sandstrom asked for the purpose of the berm along Long Lake Road and which alternatives had been considered for ponding in this area. Mr. Williams responded that the ponding was not required by the watershed district. The storm sewer system in the street does not have the capacity for handling water from this site and, therefore, would have to be rebuilt in order to accommodate water from the Beltmann site. Lon Aune, City Engineer, stated that petition for the improvements must be submitted to the City Council along with an explanation for the need to install either the pond or the piping. Member Sandstrom stated that the project has a lot of impervious surface which will carry pollutants from the vehicles. He encouraged the developer to provide filtering and/or ponding to collect the pollutants, noting that the visual screening was less important than reducing the water pollution. Chairman Wietecki asked for public comment. None was offered. Member Thomas asked for clarification regarding the collection system which will be used to collect pollutants from the vehicles. The staff will provide further details. Chairman Wietecki closed the public hearing. MOTION: Chairman Wietecki moved, seconded by member Rengel, to recommend approval of the rezoning from B-6 to B-3 with the staff to work with the applicant on the reflective light issues, the vegetative screen along the south side of the project, and the staff to evaluate the benns, storm water/storm sewer issues and the need for additional ponding.
