MAYOR Bill Biesener COUNCIL Rick Montour Barbara Allan John Keis Michael McGraw 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 Joel R. Hanson www.cilittle-canadann.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Blesener & Members of City Council FROM: Bill Dircks, Public Works Superintendent DATE: June 8, 2007 RE: Fill Permit for Joe Peters Mr. Joe Peters owns the building at 3020 Centerville Rd. He is proposing to purchase the property directly south of his parcel on the northeast corner of Centerville Rd. and Allen Ave. He does not plan to develop the site at the time being, but has an opportunity to get the fill necessary to level the site from the Highway 36 project. Because of the potential to acquire the dirt at a good rate Mr. Peters has applied for a fill permit so that he can begin filling and grading the site while the dirt is available. Mr. Peters is proposing to bring in approximately 1500 yards of fill in order to bring the site up to the proper grade for future development. His plan is to scrape all of the black dirt into a pile and move it off to the side. He will then bring in the fill dirt and grade the site. Following that he will spread the existing black dirt back over the site and re- establish growth to prevent erosion. The site grade will match the grade of his site at 3020 Centerville; with drainage flowing to the east and entering a swale at the east property line and flowing north to MN /Dot right-of-way. The City Engineer and I met with Mr. Peters at the site and discussed his plan. The Engineer and I have no objections to the proposed fill permit and would recommend that the permit be approved with the stipulation that the proper erosion control measures are taken. I have included a copy of the information Mr. Peters provided the engineer and me with explaining the proposed work. It should also be noted that the proposed site is under an acre and does not require a permit from the Watershed District at this time. Mr. Peters was informed that when he does develop the site he will have to treat the storm water according to the proposed rules the City will be adopting in the near future as part of its storm water ordinance.
