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.
