• Planning and Zoning Board July 11, 1984 Someone from the audience (a future homeowner in Mr. Johnson's area) suggested that the City invite other neighbors from the area to hear ";,tty =;l and discuss the request. Mr. McLean explained that with a conditional 71>') use permit no legal notice to neighbors is required as is required in A 147 the case of a rezone, etc. ) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - JOHN CARDARELLI - MINING AND LAND RECLAMATION Mr. Cardarelli explained to the Board that there is an existing wild- life pond on his property which was dug about ten years ago and that he wants to add another pond to beautify the area (presently the area is a peat bog) and to increase the value of his land. He has obtained permission from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Rice Creek Watershed and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The fill removed from the area will be sold and hauled away to Coon Rapids. Money re- ceived from the fill will help Mr. Cardarelli pay for the pond. Mr. McLean asked if there would be a safety problem and was told that there will be a one foot drop every four feet and that the pond will be approximately six feet deep. Mr. Ostlie was concerned with how the neighbors would accept the pond (safety to children, etc.). Mr. McLean and Mr. Kluegel repeated to Mr. Cardarelli that a charge of 154 per cubic foot of removed land would be collected as escrow to assure restoration of the property. Mr. Cardarelli was aware of this, but also was concerned about a requirement of 'a letter of credit (Per Mr. Volk) for the purpose of road maintenance. Mr. Cardarelli was told that such letter of credit would be a Council issue, not a P & Z issue. Mr. Kluegel reported that the City Engineer feels a investigation of this project would be redundant since Rice Creek Watershed has already approved it. Mr. Ostlie was concerned that Mr. Cardarelli would be moving the soil to Coon Rapids rather than keeping it in the Lino Lakes area. Mr. Goldade wanted Mr. Cardarelli to be aware that a time frame would be necessary in enforcing the proposed permit. Mr. Cardarelli said the pond would be completed by the end of June, 1985. Mr. Cody made the following motion: I move that approval of the applic- ation of John Cardarelli, 8194 W. Rondeau Lake Rd, for a conditional use permit relative to excavation of certain properties for the purpose of a pond be granted. In regard to the conditional use permit, I would refer Council to subdivision 32 under Land Reclamation, in which this applicant is attempting to move material so as to alter the grade, which would require the review and approval of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, and the Rice Creek Watershed District. Since Mr. Cardarelli has demonstrated by his application the acceptance by these three bodies, I would recommend that the application for the conditional use permit be granted. In addition, Mr. Cardarelli is required under Section 105, entitled "Re- moval of Topsoil" to apply for a special permit. I would recommend to Council that such special permit under 1005.02 be granted, condi- tions being that the applicant either provide a grading plan or a letter from our City Engineer indicating that a grading plan is not
