L� are allowed to transfer that mitigation to other wetlands that we can acquire. Right now, it is a matter of bargaining to see if we can get land that is acceptable without going to condemnation. However, if we can show that we cannot get land anywhere else, it would be a full, valid point. Chairman Scurlock felt the message that we want to send today is that we want the project to be done right, and if we have a preference, we would just as soon mitigate right there next to the project and not have all those wetlands developed. Director Davis concurred, but pointed out perhaps the Vista Royale Condominium Association or some other entity would like us to come into its wetlands and enhance, which would give us a little better bargaining position than with the Caldwell, Gregory, and Hoffman properties. Commissioner Bird felt that the best assurance the Board can give Mrs. Stewart and the residents of Country Club Point is that we are going to look very closely at the design of this project so that it does not have an adverse impact on the drainage situation that presently exists in that area. Director Davis suggested that in order to clarify the drainage issue, that the Board authorize staff to go back into the draft report and add language stating that two 8' x 5' box culverts will be built. William Koolage, 815 26th Avenue, was concerned about the drainage by the hospital node. He believed that as, more and more flat -roofed buildings are erected and more and more ground is covered, there will be*more and more runoff. He just wanted to make sure that there is adequate egress to the river for that runoff. Chairman Scurlock emphasized that the idea is to keep all that runoff from getting into the river before it gets treated. Mr. Koolage believed that land is not made to be built on, and the Commissioners wholeheartedly agreed. 66 BOOK FiG 590 MAR 10 1987
