Questions for staff by the Committee:
Daniel Kubiak: This is consistent with land use, but would need a rezoning?
Dennis Killough: Yes, that is correct.
Daniel Kubiak: Drainage for underground storage, how does city staff view that? Is
there confidence that it will work long term?
Dennis Killough: We know of some that have no issues; however, the most recent one
did have some soil and structural issues.
Michael Springer: Would this detention pond roll over to the creek structure?
Dennis Killough: Yes, it runs into the creek/channel that runs behind Matthews Court
and Rockenbaugh Elementary.
Michael Springer: So, the picture of the pond we just saw was full of water, when it is
supposed to be dry. Did it rain recently to fill the pond?
Dennis Killough: No, the pond is intended to retain water.
Kathy Talley: Okay this clarifies it. You mentioned it was a detention pond, but it looks
like a retention pond.
Dennis Killough: Yes, you are correct. I said detention but it is technically a retention
pond.
Frances Scharli: What is that to the side of the property?
Dennis Killough: That is a drainage channel.
Frances Scharli: Does this pond flow into that at all?

Dennis Killough: Yes, that is where the outfall is.
Amy Torres-Lepp: And Matthews Court is to the left?
Dennis Killough: Matthews Court is on the other side.
Frances Scharli: Is there a floodplain on this?
Dennis Killough: Yes, there is.
Applicant presentation:
N/A
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Michael Springer: Biggest concern in my mind is the retention pond situation. Tell me
more about your plans for the underground structure.
Applicant: Designed the facility to take all the drainage underground. Working with city
staff to ensure everything is constructed correctly and soundly.
Michael Springer: The intent is for the outfall to be into the street? You are not
intending to retain any water underground? I know there will be some control
mechanisms, but you are planning for this pond to remain empty unless there is rain.
Applicant: Yes.
Gina Phalen: The tree line is on the south side of the property. Will those trees remain?
Applicant: Yes, maintaining most of the trees.
Daniel Kubiak: Summary of your feedback – people will ask questions about the
underground detention water plan. Tree preservation and the landscape plan will be
something we look at as well.
Frances Scharli: I like the idea of connecting a trail. This would be consistent with our
pathways master plan.
Austin Reynolds: The quality of the underground detention will be important. I am a
little concerned with the amount of coverage.
Applicant: We have a large line item in the budget for detention. We plan on doing it 1st
class and what the city will be happy with. Quite frankly, development, land, and
construction costs are high, so we need to be efficient with land usage. That is what has
driven the decision to place the detention underground.
