5 Currently, only 12.5 animal units are allowed. If the CUP and a waste management plan are approved, a maximum of 25.0 animal units would be allowed. Grading Plan and Stormwater Management Although a grading plan and stormwater management plan is not specifically required for the conditional use permit 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 applicant shall provide 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. Landscaping and Tree Preservation Plan Landscaping and tree preservation is not required for the commercial stables operation. Wetlands Wetlands are located on all three (3) parcels. An approved wetland delineation is not required for the conditional use permit application; however, Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) may require one. The applicant has been working with RCWD and the City regarding the potential need for restoration of the wetlands on the site that were previously filled. The subject site shall be in compliance with all City and other regulatory agency requirements or the conditional use permit may be revoked. Floodplain The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone A floodplain on all three (3) parcels. It appears the existing house, smaller accessory structures and arena are not within the floodplain. The larger accessory structure near the arena appears to be in the Zone A floodplain. The exact year of its construction is unknown; however, a CUP was approved in 1986 for the riding stable arena so it could be assumed the large accessory structure was constructed in that same time period and would have been subject to the 1982 FEMA floodplain requirements. The 1982 FEMA map shows the large accessory structure out of the floodplain. This structure would be considered legal non-conforming and subject to the Zoning and Floodplain Ordinance non-conformities regulations. Accessory Structures The applicant currently has three (3) outside horse shelters approximately 10ft x 20ft. Assuming each shelter can house 4 horses, the maximum numbers of shelters allowed should be limited to either 3 or 6 depending on the final CUP approval. The shelters are specific accessory structures associated with the operation of a commercial stable.
