C. The general character of this section of the City is mixed. The Baldwin Lake trailer park is to the west with R-1 Residential zoning to the north, south, and east. Various home occupations dot the residential neighborhood up and down Hodgson Road in this vicinity. Since this proposed use is temporary, we do not feel the essential character of the area will be affected by the request. D/E. No utilities are necessary to serve this use and a detriment to the economic welfare of the community should not be realized because of the use. F. There will be an increase in traffic and noise at this site due to the proposed use, however, the existing use already involves vehicles coming and going - the general character of the use should not change. G. Vehicular approaches to the property currently provide no site/distance problems. Hodgson Road is classified as state highway and is heavily traveled. Permits may be required from MnDot as this use will put additional strain on the existing roadway. H. N/A I. This intended use should conform to all applicable requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff has reviewed this request and would recommend the following: 1. Approve request with the following conditions: a. A grading plan shall be submitted indicating how the applicant intends to maintain stable slopes that will not erode from wind and water. This plan shall also show plantings with rye grass or similar material to protect surface. A final planting plan shall be included that shows how the site will be restored when stock piles are depleted. b. The fill shall be allowed to remain on site until January of 1997 at which time permit shall become null and void unless an extension of time has be requested by the applicant. c. Other erosions controls may be imposed if upon spring inspection of the site a determination is made that they are necessary. d. Proper permits be received, if required, from MnDOT.
