1. Plan Review - Apartment Building - Londin Lane
a. Acting City Manager Bittner read the staff report with the recommendation of
approval of the building and site plan with the following conditions:
1. Grading and footing permit to be issued after compliance with conditions
3 through 6;
2. The grading and drainage plan to be followed is that submitted on May 1,
1978, which encompasses the entire P.U.D. site. The plan is to be modified
to conform to the Soil Conservation Service's recommendations as follows:
a. The proposed plan calls for terracing at location No. 6 (location number
is referenced in Soil Conservation Service report). The terracing should
be more pronounced in order to reduce the grade to eliminate erosion
potential.
b. Location No. 7 to have piping and catch basin installed to safely conduct
water down slope. As an alternative, a terracing system similar to that
proposed for location 416 will suffice.
c. Recommendations of the Soil Conservation Service as to bank stabilization
are to be implemented.
It is the intent of this condition to have all properties South of the nat-
ural drainage course running East and West through the site, constructed to
final grade.
The recommendations to control the existing erosion problems on properties
to the North of the drainage course must also be implemented. This area
will not be brought to final grade until additional construction commences
in the P.U.D.

wood in the amount of $75,000 to insure compliance with the grading plan.
