Co ; t o `=��pollo Drive through this site took place in 1993 and 1994. Apollo Drive is an Ano • ;= ty dway (CSAH 12) and was construction through a Joint Powers Agreement betwe ,± and Anoka County. It was designed to comply with County and State Aid design ds. `"'o accommodate proper design of the storm sewer system, the roadway had to be rai d abo surrounding elevations. In order to provide fill to b old to the Apollo Drive contractor, borrow pits were created in the Apollo Business Center. It expected these pits would later be utilized as storm water pond site. 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
