I4 At this time staff would recommend approval subject to any staff comments. Commissioner Tessau questioned if the pond would be wet bottomed. Mr. Mettee advised that was correct. Commissioner Broderick questioned if the pond was located too close to the Round About. Director of Development Andy Kass and representative of the applicant, Emily Harding of Civil Design Advantage, advised that the properties to the east and west have ponds that border a roundabout, and that there are no provisions that restrict the location for ponds. This is also the low point of the property and ideal for water run off collection. Commissioner Hoifeldt also advised that roundabouts generally involve slower traffic so incidents involving the pond will generally involve driver error. Commissioner Streit moved to approve the Preliminary Plat for Waukee Crossing Plat 2 Outlot W subject to any remaining staff comments. Commissioner Gerlitz seconded the motion. Ayes: Hoifeldt, Streit, Broderick, Koshy, Tessau, and Gerlitz. Nays: none. Motion Carried.
