OLD BUSINESS WARMING HOUSE '\ Mr. Rzeszutek explained to.the Planning/Zoning Commission members the proposed moving of a 12' by 20' garage to the Community Center site for use as a shelter for skaters. The garage will be free to the City as will all permits. The building would have to be brought up to Code, with an approved heating system, fire proof sheet rock, insulation, and two exits with exit signs. The floor would be a cement slab with plywood covering. Mr. Rzeszutek stated that many coaches have volunteered the labor to finish the building. This will not be completed this year as planned now. ~ A discussion was had questioning the reason the back room of the Community Center (with modifications) cannot be used as a warming house. Mr. Rzeszutek stated that the Council opposed this. Planning and Zoning Commission presented a recommendation to the Council to approve the moving of the garage to the Community Center site (see attachment A). A decision will have to be made at the Regular Council Meeting, January 6, 1976 in order to secure the garage.

The construction of the pond has affected the natural drainage of the area, and I am of the opinion that the garage will most probably be affected by this alteration. I am also of the opinion that according to the agreement between the Park/Recreation Board and L &: R Excavating, there was no provision to correct the drainage problem. If you have any further questions regarding the agreement, I would suggest that you confer with the Park/Recreation Board. 1 .' 'I / (""" Walter L. Arntzen WLA:pkl / \ j \ , , ~ / u , Wi7J~?tn A !!.

Several.items were considered during this 6Luay. These included: (1) Total drainage area to proposed park (2) Future drainage area (3) Soil conditions (4) Future conditions affecting run off ~ The proposed pond n1ay receive storm runoff iron1 a substantial area of the Red Oaks Manor Additions. The very minimum ponding area should be approximately 125 feet square and from 4 feet to 5 feet deep, with side slopes of 6:1. This should be a minimum requirement. Additi.onal pond storage would allow for additional future storage of runoff which at this time is difficult to anticipate. If you have any questions, please contact me at your COllvcni.cnrc.
