AGENDA ITEM 4A STAFF ORIGINATOR Mary Kay Wyland DATE August 25, 1995 TOPIC 95-24-C, R. Carlson, Conditional Use Permit for Stockpile of Dirt, south of Pineridge II & III .................................... ................................... ...................................... ;ACKGI OUND Mr. Carlson is requesting a Conditional Use Permit under Section 4, Subd. 33 of the Zoning Ordinance, Land Reclamation and Land Grading. According to Subd. 33 "...Land reclamation 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 request is to excavate (deepen), the rear yard swale in Pineridge II and III to allow lookout style homes rather than the original full basement ramblers and stockpile the excavated material to the south for future use. The amount of material to be regraded and stockpiled is approximately 7,000 cubic yards. Mr. Carlson has control of approximately 15 acres to the south of Pineridge II and III and 10 acres to the east. The property in question is Zoned R -1X (Pineridge II and III) and Rural (area south and east of Pineridge). The material to be stockpiled is directly south of Pineridge and Zoned Rural. This property is located outside the current MUSA Boundary, however, it has been included in our recent MUSA/Comprehensive Plan Amendment as anticipated "Growth Area". Mr. Carlson plans to develop this property at a future date pending the outcome of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request. A grading plan for the proposed regrading and stockpile has been reviewed by our Engineering Consultant, Steve Meth of SEH who recommended approval with several conditions outlined in his report dated August 1, 1995. The Planning and Zoning Board held a Public Hearing on August 9, 1995 and recommended approval of the conditional use permit request with the following conditions: 1. Side slopes shall not be steeper than a 3:1 slope.
