City of ITEM 6.14. MEMORANDUM iver TO: FROM: DATE: Mayor and City Council Steven B. Ach, City Planner.~,~_~ June 17, 1996 SUBJECT: Amendment to Fence Requirement in Hillside Crossing Planned Unit Development Issue Consider modifying the fence requirements around the storm water pond in Hillside Crossing Planned Unit Development. Attachments · Letter from Marion Glines dated June 11, 1996 · Approved Site Plan dated September 1, 1994 Overview The plans for Hillside Crossing Planned Unit Development included a storm water ponding area that would be surrounded by a 4' high fence on the west, north and east sides, and a 6' high fence on the south side along 193rd (see attached site plan). The developers are requesting to change the fencing requirement by reducing the height of the fence along 193rd from 6' to 4' and eliminating the fence along the east portion of the pond which is adjacent to the residential area. The request to eliminate the fence along the east is a result of the fiat grades through this area which differs from the side slopes around the other portions of the pond. The City's policy to require fencing around storm water ponds has typically been to require fencing when the side slopes of the pond are 3:1 or greater (steeper). The side slopes of the pond adjacent to 193rd vary from about 5:1 to 3:1. However, this side of the pond is adjacent to a pedestrian system (sidewalk) which may further necessitate some type of deterrent for access to the pond. It should be noted that around the entire pond, from the water level up the side slope for about five feet, rock has been utilized at a slope of 1:1. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
