Staff will be transcribing the questions in a written letter that will go to the County. Council Member Reinert stated he was quoted in the paper as saying he is in favor of a 68' foot wide four (4) lane highway. He stated the paper was incorrect.

Mr. John Hudgsons, 6661 Pelican Place, came forward and stated the City Engineer was supposed to check on septics due to the distance of wells to the roadway.

In order to modify the location and depth of the excavations, and to provide fill for the proposed building site on parcels D and E, the developer expects to move in excess of 80,000 cubic yards of material. Section 12.B of the City's Zoning Ordinance states "When five thousand (5,000) or more cubic yards of material is to be removed or deposited on any lot or parcel, a conditional use permit shall be required ". Based on ownership of five (5) parcels, the applicant is able to move 25,000 cubic yards of material without a CUP. However, in order to allow the site grading to continue a CUP must be obtained. The proposed plan is consistent with the site plans that have been submitted for Twin City Fab and Marmon/Keystone. The CUP grading plan does not include detailed landscaping information, which has, or will be, provided with the site plan applications for the individual sites. 6 •
