Commissioner Danger questioned who would release the access easement to the applicant. Planner Gundlach explained the applicant would need this easement released from the property to the east. Eric Chalmers, applicant and owner of AccuStream, introduced himself to the Commission and noted the property to the east was not interested in releasing the easement. Planner Gundlach indicated the easement was a private matter between the two properties. She explained that she would have to speak with the City Attorney regarding this matter as the easement does obstruct two parking stalls. Commissioner Banker asked if the road access abutting the easement interfered with the road access. Planner Gundlach reviewed the location of the driveway, the easement and access points. She was not concerned with access to and from the site. Commissioner Danger questioned if there were any watershed or drainage issues with the site plan. Planner Gundlach noted the applicant had submitted his plans to the Rice Creek Watershed and was waiting for approval. She explained the City does not get involved in watershed issues but understood a rain garden may be needed on the site. Russ Rosso, architect for the applicant, stated the drainage drawings have been submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed and would be reviewed in the middle of July. He reviewed the property layout and discussed how the water would drain from this site. Commissioner Danger inquired if a rain garden was required by Rice Creek Watershed that eliminated several parking spaces, how the applicant would handle this matter. Mr. Rosso commented he was prepared to address this concern and that space was available. Chairperson Howard asked if another condition should be added to assure that all requirements from the Rice Creek Watershed are followed by the applicant. Planner Gundlach indicated this was covered in the Interoffice Public Works/Engineering memo dated 6/13/2012.
