According to the City Zoning Code, Section 4, Subd. 33, Land Reclamation and Land Grading," ... shall be permitted by conditional use permit in all districts. Depositing a total of more than fifty (50) cubic yards of material per acre, either by hauling in or regrading the area, shall constitute land reclamation...". The property in question is approximately 14 acres in size and zoned GB, General Business (the north 450 feet) , and ' R-1, Residential (the south 211 feet) . According to the property owner there is approximately 18, 000 yards of fill on the property. His intention would be to stock pile the dirt and eventually sell it. The dirt was obtained from the Co. Rd. J. reconstruction project and is located on the rear of the Rehbein property, approximately 400' from the front proper line. To the rear of the dirt stock pile is a large stand of matu a trees blocking the material from the view of any adjoining property owners to the rear. The resale of this material is anticipated to take approximately three years time. FINDINGS OF FACT: A.

This would include planting of the stock pile with rye grass or a similar material to reduce any disbursement of the material by wind or erosion and standard safety precautions in the distribution and hauling of the material. B. In, reference to the Comprehensive Plan, this site is identified as Urban Residential and located on Hodgson Road. The site is known as the Rehbein Bus Garage and is used for commercial purposes and storage of school buses. The Zoning is appropriate for the existing use although in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
