Mr. Marohn concurred that this is where we are at. He asked Mr. Miller to describe on �- the drainage plan what is going to happen to the east of units 25 — 28. What is maintaining natural grade. Mr. Miller stated Units 25 & 26 are down in the open area. Units 27 & 28 are just starting to go up hill and they will need to grade a little. They will need a lot of fill in that area in order to get up that hill. Where the lodge is being removed will leave a large hole. Units 25 & 26 will walkout on lakeside, 27 & 28 walkout to lake also. Units 29 & 30 flattens out and no walkouts. Units 31 & 32 sit natural. Mr. Marohn stated the vegetation plan indicates there is vegetation right up to Units 27 & 28. Mr. Miller stated the plan may show too much vegetation; it should stop in the vicinity of Unit 30. There is going to be grading that takes place in a portion of #30. Mr. Marohn pointed out that that is the area where the concern was. Not everyone is on board and they need to be careful as not everybody understands that. When it was suggested to move the units back from the shore, Mr. Miller stated they could not as there would be no parking stall outside of the garage. Mr. Marohn suggested building Units 29 & 30 without walkouts. Mr. Miller stated that could be done; they don't need walkouts in that area. He will have the engineer change that. Mr. Miller asked if the Planning Commission wanted any of this presented to Tim Houle, City Engineer, for comment. Greg Halling, the engineer, explained how the 100 -year storm event was designed. The MPCA will have final review of the sewer system. Mr. Marohn stated the utilities are private, the stormwater management plan is going to be reviewed by the PCA and he doesn't see why the City Engineer needs to be involved. Final Plat requires him to sign off on it if we ask him to review it. If there is something, let's identify it and have Mr. Houle look at it. With no public improvements, Mr. Marohn does not see any reason for Mr. Houle to review or comment. Regarding the dry hydrant, Mr. Miller stated he met with the Fire Chief who suggested either a hydrant on site that the Fire Department could tap into or a dry hydrant. Mr. Miller stated they can't get enough water for him to hook into. He will submit the dry hydrant plan directly to the Fire Chief for approval. Mr. Hallan asked what the triggers were for the phase -in of the septic system. Mr. Miller stated the phasing has been discussed with the PCA. The plan is very definitive by number of units; anything that is not in that first phase, 12 or 13, anything else is part of the next system. They are talking about creating holding capacity for the first few buildings are built until they reach a flow to run the treatment plant. If only one building is built, there is not enough flow. Holding and pumping for a specific period of time is an option until they reach that flow. The PCA will be very specific. Minutes 6 Pequot Lakes Planning Commission November 18, 2010
