A new system conserves <br />and controls water use. If approved, it would take one and one-half months, and <br />could have problems in late fall. <br />Member Olson asked if the wells would be capped? (No) Are the chemicals, the <br />lake, and the wells in conflict — is there a pollution issue or potential? (The <br />building will be designed to be a containment area for spills; there will be 1000 <br />gallons of chemical treatment stored at a time — for use in injection into the <br />watering system. <br />Member Wilke asked if a new separate building were built, would you need new <br />wells? (Possibly) Does the DNR monitor water usage from the lake? (Yes, it <br />must be reported) <br />Member Cunningham asked why not draw directly from the wells to the irrigation <br />system (Not enough capacity). <br />Chair Rhody asked if 250 s.f. size could be built for this equipment? By joining <br />the buildings, a need for a variance is created. (It should be tied together <br />aesthetically). <br />Thomas Paschke explained the non-conforming nature of the existing building. <br />While there is extra room it allows space between equipment and storage to work <br />within the building. Would a variance still be needed for two separate buildings <br />(Yes). <br />Member Olson stated she was more comfortable with connection of buildings <br />because it reduces spill potentiaL Member Wilke said aesthetically one roof made <br />more sense. <br />David Durhman, Lauderdale, asked if chemicals in the water would increase or <br />decrease runoff into Walsh Lake. <br />Scott Austin, Midland Hills, said the fertilizer will be liquid, and the sprinkler <br />heads will be directed to the area to be watered. DNR regulates the fertilizer used <br />and requires licenses. <br />There were no further comments; Chair Rhody closed the hearing. <br />Chair Rhody said the building constraints of design, chemicals, well house return <br />and containment area make the variance more appealing. <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />
