City Engineer Eastwood explained that this variance is needed to meet the City' s stormwater requirements. He said the Applicant proposed a stormwater retention facility that is deeper than what current City standards allow. Eastwood stated this plan includes water treatment to limit pollutants, installing measures on the outfall and basins to catch any sediment, and a fence around the facility to add needed depth. Council member Menicucci asked if the water would be standing water. Eastwood said it would infiltrate into the soil. Chris Budeski, a representative for the Applicant, further explained that the variance was requested because they had to provide an underground stormwater collection system for the site. However, because the pipes need to be deeper than the City' s current two- and- a- half-foot depth requirement, the Applicant proposed installing a 42- inch farm- style fence around the facility. Mayor Nelson called for public comment. There was none. ACTION: Council Member Menicucci moved to approve the variance request from the City of Belgrade Design Standards to allow a stormwater retention facility with a design maximum water surface depth greater than 2- 1/ 2 feet on a portion of Tract 3AA of Certificate of Survey No. 78C provided that the facility is protected by a fence and approved by the City Engineer. Council Members Doyle and Mattimoe seconded the motion. All voted aye, motion carried unanimously. REPORTS Mayor Nelson had nothing to report. City Attorney Ramler had nothing to report.
