5 Chickens 20 .003 0.06 TOTAL 22.06 Grading Plan and Stormwater Management Although a grading plan and stormwater management plan is not specifically required for the conditional use permit amendment or variance application, all efforts shall be made to prevent manure waste and runoff from draining into ditches and wetlands. Public Utilities The house and arena are served by private well and septic system. The property owner has provided documentation that the septic system and drain field have been inspected and determined to be in compliance with state requirements and sized for intended use. It should also be noted that any future improvements required for restrooms shall be ADA compliant. Wetlands Wetlands are located on the Subject Site. An approved wetland delineation is not required for the conditional use permit application; however, Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) may require one. The property owner shall work with RCWD, ACD and the City regarding the potential need for restoration of the wetlands on the site that were previously filled. The Property shall be in compliance with all City and other regulatory agency requirements or the conditional use permit may be revoked. No manure waste shall be stored or spread within 50 ft of a wetland and a 50 ft wide vegetated wetland buffer shall be maintained. Floodplain The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone A floodplain on the Subject Site. No manure bins or manure storage shall be located in the wetlands or floodplain. Accessory Structures During the 2020 CUP application process, Mr. Stowe stated he had three (3) outside horse shelters approximately 10ft x 20ft each. Per Resolution No. 20-144, the maximum numbers of shelters allowed on the Subject Site is six (6). This would equate to 1,200 sf total (10ft x 20ft = 200sf x 6 shelters = 1,200sf total). The shelters are specific accessory structures associated with the operation of a commercial stable. The property owner’s CUP amendment and variance land use application states the property owner owns additional horse shelters over 8,000 sf which exceeds the allowed square footage per the approved 2020 CUP. The applicant did correct this statement. There are currently 5 shelters totaling approximately 1,000 sf. This is compliant with the 2020 CUP. Per the University of Minnesota Extension website, a 240 sf (12 x 20ft) open-front shelter is ideal for two (2) horses. An additional 60 sf (10 x 6 ft) is required for each additional horse.
