David Lind Variance, Impervious Surface Coverage <br /> Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. Mr. Lind was present. Mr. Burslie <br /> explained one condition of approval stated applicant was to provide <br /> documentation that the impervious coverage condition had been met. The <br /> applicant has provided photos, as well as a modified survey. As Staff,how do we <br /> determine what 24.7% is without an updated survey. Staff is seeking direction <br /> from the Planning Commission whether another survey will be required or if the <br /> Planning Commission is comfortable with what has been submitted. <br /> Mr. Lind stated he had completed everything that was required, plus some more <br /> by the pond. He doesn't want to spend the money on another survey. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan commented that the bituminous <br /> pavement has been removed and made into a pond. Mr. Lind stated there are <br /> rocks there because there is a huge erosion issue with the pond. Planning <br /> Commission Member Hallan stated there is no reason for a survey; Staff could go <br /> out there and measure it. This is a major change, down from 31 percent. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated the original intent may have been to have another survey. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated there is the original Certificate of <br /> Survey;the modified survey represents the final. The original site was at 32.8%. <br /> Staff could go out and observe that these things were taken out to these <br /> dimensions. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated Staff will go out, do a site visit and report back. <br /> Planning Commission Member Habein stated Mr. Lind has made a credible effort <br /> reducing the impervious coverage.

Mr. <br /> Burslie stated the County has done a study that indicates the more impervious <br /> coverage the worse the water quality is. 25% is set by the State. <br /> Mr. Lind showed pictures of the pond when it fills up, catching the water,but <br /> then lets loose and the water spills right to the lake. He was advised rip rap walls <br /> could be used to slow the water down. <br /> Mr. Lind stated he would like to construct a fire pit one day. He asked what the <br /> City's take was on pervious pavers. Mr. Burslie stated typically they are looked at <br /> as impervious. They need maintenance to keep from filling up;they need to be <br /> MINUTES 8 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> August 15, 2013 <br />
