COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 28, 1995 appreciated the acknowledgement of the time and effort the staff put in and most specifically the effort Ms. Sullivan put in the project to make sure that the advisory committees got together and "spoke in one tone". She deserves whatever recognition the City Council can give her. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND Consideration of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Land Reclamation, Rick Carlson, PineRidge - Ms. Wyland used the overhead projector to show the PineRidge area. She noted that 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 a CUP in all districts. Depositing a total of more than 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-1 X (PineRidge II and III). 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 the 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 the City Engineering Consultant, Steve Heth 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 CUP request with the following conditions: 1. Side slopes shall not be steeper than 3:1 slope. 2. Height of the stockpile shall not exceed six (6) feet. 3. Site slopes shall be seeded and mulched to prevent erosion. 4. Stockpile shall be monitored by owner and vegetation kept consistent with surrounding vegetation. 6
