City Council meeting of November 5, 1990 Page 3 VARIANCE REQUEST (OVER -SIZED GARAGE) On behalf of Georgiann Presbrey, Mr. Tim Bartylla has made application to the City of Hugo to construct a 30' x 44' attached garage on Lot 2, Block 2, Countryview Acres, Hugo, MN (aka 6675 126th Street). The property in question consists of 5.3 acres, and is zoned RR'::.. The City code limits the square footage of attached garages to 720 square feet; however, the Council policy has been to allow for variances of this nature until such time as the City code is amended. This request is consistent with current City policy regarding variances for over -sized garages. Jesinski made motion, Olson seconded, to approve the variance request of Tim Bartylla to construct a 30' x 44' attached garage on Lot 2, Block 2, Countryview Acres (aka 8675 126th Street). The proposed garage is to be used for residential purposes only. All aye. Motion Carried. REZONING REQUEST (M. WEGLEITNER) At the request of the applicant, this matter was withdrawn from the agenda until further notified. SITE PLAN AP'P'ROVAL (RAMBERG/GRANGER On behalf of Dan Ramberg, Mr. den Granger has made application for site plan approval, and Council authorization, to land apply petroleum -contam- inated soil on a 50' x 450' area located in the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 5, T31N, R21W, Hugo, MN. The property in question is located west of the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks and south of 175th Street. The MPCA has approved the site and method of disposal of the contaminated soil, and the Washington County Health Department has issued the required license. In that the request in question is the first of its kind to come before the City Council, the City staff was not sure how to handle this request in light of the November 7th deadline for spreading this soil. One of the methods of disposing of this type of soil, when the level of contamination is less than 10,000 parts per million, is by applying this material and mixing it with highly organic soil, then disking it on a monthly basis for a specified period of time until the pollutants measure less than 10 parts per million. It is the intent to spread approximately 151 cubic yards of soil over a 50' x 450' area on November 6, 1990. The soils will then be disced on a regular basis beginning in the spring, and the MPCA has indicated that because of the organic quality of the soil in question, the soil should be well below the 10 parts per million by August, 1991. The soils application will be made by A & B Construction, and spread on a one-time basis over the area shown on the site plan in a 2" thickness. The contaminated soils report provided by MPCA indicates that the soil contains no benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, or xylene. The soil contains 200 parts per million of fuel oil, and this is generally regarded as a very low level of contamination, with 800 to 1,000 parts per million considered to be a medium -to -high level. This site is located 450' from surface water, and the depth to the seasonal high-water table in this area is 10' to 12'. In light of the fact that the contaminated soil
