9. The proposed development will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of a <br />natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. <br />The proposed earth moving/ black dirt stockpile should not result in the destruction, <br />loss or damage of natural, scenic or historic features as no known natural, scenic or <br />historic features exist in the area. The existing wetlands and floodplain will not be <br />affected by the activities as currently proposed. <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by The City Council of Lino Lakes in addition to the <br />administrative requirements of an interim use permit, the following standards of <br />Section 1007.050, are being met: <br />(a) Properly fence any pit or excavation, and barricade entrances to prevent the general <br />public from depositing garbage or refuse. <br />The proposed plans indicate earth moving for a stockpile, not a pit. The proposed <br />plans do not currently show any fencing around the earth moving/black dirt stockpile <br />operation or any barricades at the entrance. Staff is proposing that silt fence be <br />placed around the stockpile as a condition of this permit. <br />(b) Slope the banks, and otherwise guard and keep any pit or excavation in such <br />condition as not to be dangerous because of sliding or caving banks. <br />The proposed earth moving/ black dirt stockpile is proposed with 3:1 side slopes on <br />all sides, except for the working side, reducing the risk of sliding or caving banks. <br />Areas not being excavated shall be established with turf within seven (7) days of <br />placement to avoid sliding. <br />(c) Properly drain, fill, or level off any pit or excavation so as to make the same safe and <br />healthful as the permitting authority may determine. <br />The proposed earth moving/ black dirt stockpile site is designed to drain in a similar <br />manner as the existing conditions. Approximately half of the stockpile will drain <br />towards the existing wetland east of the site and the other half will drain towards <br />21"Avenue S. Erosion control is proposed and will be needed to ensure that <br />sediment is prevented from entering the wetland and storm sewer systems. <br />(d) Limit the depth of such excavation to an elevation no lower than the minimum floor <br />elevation for building construction as established by the City Engineer, so as not to <br />diminish development potential of the parcel. <br />Not applicable to this project. <br />
