Zoning and Vacation Committee <br /> February 12, 1990 <br /> Page 2 <br /> agreed that a billboard would be removed. Discussion has <br /> also taken place with regard to an acceleration and de- <br /> celeration lane on Ewing. <br /> Council Member Luecke questioned whether in fact the area on <br /> the southeast corner was .a wetlands. It was noted that it <br /> was and that it would be used for storm water retention but <br /> that such retention would not pollute the area. Mr. Feeney <br /> stated that the petitioner would be in compliance with all <br /> state and federal regulations with regard to the wetlands <br /> area. Council Member Luecke also questioned the character <br /> of the wooded area. Mr. Feeney noted that the developer has <br /> represented that as much of the wooded area as possible <br /> would remain except for the necessary removal associated <br /> with roadways, utility easements, and the retention basin. <br /> Council Member Niezgodski questioned the status of the trees <br /> and the wetlands. Mr. Feeney stated that in some instances <br /> islands within the retention basin may be left with trees <br /> remaining thereon. Council Member Niezgodski stated that <br /> during the cleaning process the root system of many of the <br /> trees may be destroyed. <br /> Council Member Duda stated that she had again visited the <br /> area in question this afternoon. She also noted the <br /> extremely dense tree growth and that topography. She <br /> supported the ongoing concerns with regard to the safety of <br /> the Ewing/Prairie intersection. She stated that it was her <br /> understanding that all possible alternatives were being <br /> looked at by the City Engineering Department. <br /> Mr. Feeney stated that the petitioner intends to continue to <br /> work with the neighborhoods so that the development would be <br /> a positive addition to this neighborhood. <br /> Following further discussion Council Member Coleman made a <br /> motion seconded by Council Member Niezgodski that Substitute <br /> Bill No. 120-89 be recommended favorable. The motion <br /> passed. <br /> There being no further business to come before the committee <br /> the meeting was adjourned at 5: 10 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Council Member Lee Slavinskas, Chair Person <br /> Zoning and Vacation Committee <br /> SL:srk <br /> Attachment <br /> • <br />
