the cul-de-sac and Silver Lake Road would be a possibility. Zisla asked if Beach could say specifically what he his going to do. Beach said John Rengo could probably tell us how much of that berm or hill has to come out of there. Beach stated they did not have grading stakes out there yet. Beach said he would like to keep the hill as high as possible. O’Brien said that, based on figures he had run, most of the hill can remain and would not interfere with the drainage on the west side. Beach said he would be happy if the berm can remain. Beach said he would have to review it with Rengo and the City Engineer but that, if it can be done without a large retaining wall, that would be fine with him. Schiferl said that he had considered Zisla’s comments on the variance and stated he could agree to the variance based on unique circumstances if the City gets something in return. The City would have to get the tree preservation plan and perhaps the hill. We do not have enough information to do that. Zisla stated a condition of approval could be added to satisfy these concerns. O’Brien said he sensed some hesitation by the developer. Beach said that he was not an engineer and did not know if saving the berm was possible. Beach said he was quite certain that would be possible and it would be a nice buffer. Baker asked if the Commission could make saving the berm on Silver Lake Road a condition of the variance by using it as the unique circumstance. Teague responded the Commission could add the size of the trees to the unique circumstance. Baker said he would like to require the items as part of the variance. Teague said that any revision of the grading plan should be made subject to the review of the City Engineer and the Watershed District. Baker asked said the question was can we tie it into the variance along with the plat. Baker said an item should be added to the conditions of approval requiring the existing berm along Silver Lake Road be maintained. The Commission discussed adding an item about preserving the trees on Lot 9.
