5 With the approved 2020 conditional use permit, Section 1007.058(3)(d) allows up to double the animal unit density with an approved facility management and waste handling plan. This would allow for a maximum of 25.0 animal units on the three (3) parcels combined. Section 1007.058 Commercial Stables (3)(c) allows for adjacent parcels of land under common ownership to be used to determine maximum number of animal units allowed, if the parcels are operated as single enterprise. This is why all three (3) parcel acreages of the Subject Site are being used to calculate total number of animal units. The commercial stables operate on the Property (PID # -0003 and -0005). It is important to note that while commercial stables are usually associated with horses, the property owner may have other farm animals such as cows, chickens, goats etc. as long as the total number of animal units do not exceed the approved amount. During the 2020 CUP application process, Mr. Stowe stated the following types and numbers of farm animals were on the Subject Site: Animal # of Animals Animal Unit Total # Animal Units Cow (500 pounds) 4 0.5 2 Horse 20 1.0 20 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
