<br />Planning & Zoning Board <br />January 11, 2023 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br /> <br />The applicant, Mr. Mark Smith, submitted a Land Use application for an interim use <br />permit for earth moving and stockpiling on a property located on Phelps Road (PID #24- <br />31-22-42-0004). The applicant is requesting approval of an interim use permit to place <br />approximately 71,000 cubic yards of suitable fill material on the site for use during future <br />industrial development. The stockpiles are proposed to be up to 15 feet higher than the <br />existing grade of the site. Three separate stockpiles are proposed. <br /> <br />Mr. Isaac Wipperfurth wanted to know if the permit for the 18 months was for the actual <br />moving of the soil. Ms. Gelhar stated that it was. <br /> <br />Mr. Evenson wanted to know the reason for two entrances. Ms. Gelhar stated where they <br />were working it would be good to have two entrances to keep the dirt tracking down. <br /> <br />Mr. Perry Laden asked when they want to remove the stockpiling do they need to acquire <br />another permit. Ms. Gelhar stated they would have to go back through the process. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden stated we have done these in the past and asked if the contractors were <br />responsible and if we received any complaints. Ms. Gelhar stated there was a little bit of <br />tracking when they first started but they have not received complaints. <br /> <br />Mr. Vojtech said he thought there was a guideline for sweeping the streets. Ms. Gelhar <br />stated she anticipates they have a sweeper to clean up. <br /> <br />Mr. Root invited the applicant to speak. Mr. Mark Smith, 2120 Otter Lake Drive, Lino <br />Lakes, MN 55110. Mr. Root wanted to know what would be done with the piles when <br />they are finished. Mr. Smith stated the area is low on material so in anticipation someone <br />would need material or need a place to put material they would be prepared for either <br />situation. <br /> <br />Mr. Root asked about road clean up. Mr. Smith stated the sweeper follows the trucks and <br />the site is clean at the end of the day. <br /> <br />Mr. Root opened the public hearing at 6:46 p.m. <br /> <br />Mr. Vojtech moved to close the public hearing. Motion seconded by Mr. Evenson. The <br />public hearing was closed at 6:47 p.m. <br /> <br />Mr. Laden moved to approve the interim use permit subject to conditions listed in the <br />staff report. Motion was seconded by Mr. Evenson. Motion carried 5-0. <br /> <br />7. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Project Updates
