ANALYSIS The 2 parcels are approximately 9.7 acres and located east of Sunset Avenue/CR 53. The disturbed area is approximately 1.1 acres and approximately 9,500 cubic yards (950 loads) of granular material is anticipated to be excavated out of the borrow pit. Approximately 3-4 truck trips per hour are expected during hours of operation. Maximum depth of the borrow pit will be 14 feet with 4:1 and 3:1 slopes and a 10 foot wide safety bench. Excavation will run concurrently with the grading and fill needed for Century Farm North 6th Addition and is anticipated to operate for 3-6 weeks starting late September. The grading shall be in compliance with the approved grading plan for Century Farm North 6th Addition. The borrow pit will remain open and seeded similar to a stormwater pond. Future development of the Morell parcels may require filling in the borrow pit if the area is to be dedicated to the City for additional parkland. Access Material between the borrow pit and Century Farm North 6th Addition will be transported across undeveloped city park property. A temporary access easement will be required. Equipment and vehicles shall not use the improved section of Robinson Drive for access to the borrow pit. The hauling, dumping and grading of excavated materials shall occur within the boundaries of Century Farm North 6th Addition. Materials are not to be exported outside these boundaries. Truck traffic would not access CR 53 except for mobilization, refueling and maintenance. Wetlands Wetlands are shown on the plan sheet and do not appear to be impacted by the borrow pit. Per RCWD CAPROC #15-018 dated March 11, 2015, a wetland delineation was completed onsite in 2013 by Wenck Associates and runs along the western, northern, and southwestern border of the borrow pit site. The estimated wetland boundary is shown to be sufficiently distant from the proposed areas of disturbance; further, the proposed project will not impact any wetlands. Public Ditch Public ditch ACD 10-22-32 bisects the property north to south and the borrow pit is to the east of the ditch. RCWD CAPROC #15-018 dated March 11, 2015 requires the extent of the project in the borrow area include a 16.5 foot setback from the adjacent ditch bank.
