Planning Commission Minutes February 25, 1997 Page 6 . There being no further comments from the public, Chair Anderson closed the public hearing. Terry Maurer indicated he has asked the developer to provide information regarding reconfiguration of the intersection of the access to the plat with Pascal Street, and whether or not the southern cul-de-sac is in a logical location to make a road connection in the future. He has not received this information to date. Terry felt if the road on the north were moved slightly to the south, there would be less impact on the wetlands. Terry added the drainage design will need to show the existing drainage will not be adversely affected. Terry Maurer indicated the soil boring report shows good soils for normal septic systems, and as long as the septic system is located away from the ditch, there should be no need for a mound system. In response to Commissioner Kuester's question, Scott explained the location of the ditch as shown on the map from the county ditch inspector. The actual location of the ditch roughly corresponds with the drainage easement shown on the plat. According to the map, the water should flow from the northeastern portion of the plat to the southwest. The upper ditch shown on the plat runs across the northerly portion of the plat and over to the M-Vale subdivision. . Commissioner Cote expressed his concern relocating ditches is not easy to do and feels the ditches may pose a significant impact on some of the lots within the plat. Terry Maurer explained the city now obtains easements for new plats where county ditches exist, since the city may be taking over the county ditches at some point in the future.
