Kate Aanenson presented the staff report and Planning Commission update on this item. Paul
Oehme addressed engineering concerns such as runoff, street lights and traffic. Councilman
Litsey asked for clarification on the capacity of the storm water pond and timing on development
of the regional pond. Paul Otto with Otto Associates addressed the issues of storm water
ponding, and the realignment of the street to address car lights shining into a neighbor's house.
Mayor Furlong opened the meeting for public comments. Mary Borns, 7199 Fox Hill Drive,
speaking as a member of the Citizens Advisory Council for the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek
Watershed District, as well as a board member of the Lotus Lake Clean Water Organization,
suggested the storm water pond should be located at the lowest elevation on the site to handle the
runoff from all lots. She asked about the process of review and approval by the watershed
district and stated her concern with using national standards when the Lotus Lake Clean Water
Organization is making major efforts to get Lotus Lake off the 303D list where it has a D rating.
They have proposed a 10 year plan to try to clear up the lake and wanted to make sure at the
same time the city isn't moving in the opposite direction. Steve Donen, 7341 Frontier Trail
talked about mass balances, the amount of runoff going into Lotus Lake and asked the City
Council to consider alternative methods such as rain gardens to help with runoff. David Igel,
501 Big Woods Boulevard asked the City Council and staff to look at the timing for review of
the regional NURP pond to handle storm water issues in the neighborhood because of problems
with flooding. Mayor Furlong asked for clarification on the standards that will be used in the
modeling to study the quantity and quality of drainage. After comments and discussion by
council, the following motion was made.
Councilwoman Tjornhom moved, Councilwoman Ernst seconded that the City Council
approves the preliminary plat for Planning Case 07-09 for Lotus Woods Subdivision for 11
