Voting Yes: Chairperson Bawden, Commissioners Deemer, Holland, <br />Hendriksen, LaDue, and Terry. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Thomd. <br /> <br />Case #2: Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Grade and Export Soils; <br /> Case of Good Value Homes, Inc. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that Good Value Homes have applied for a conditional use <br />permit (CUP) to grade and export soils from what is proposed to be platted as Chestnut Ridge 2nd <br />Addition in order to create more attractive building sites. Said development received preliminary <br />plat approval from the City on August 22, 1994 and consists of 65 acres proposed to be <br />subdivided into 72 single family lots. Ms. Frolik explained that the applicant is proposing to strip <br />the topsoil, remove and export approximately 15,000 cubic yards of materials, and replace the <br />topsoil. The applicant proposes that the material would be removed from the site by hauling belly <br />dumps south on Potassium Street and west on 145th Lane and Sunfish Lake Drive to Sunfish Lake <br />Boulevard, and then the empty trucks would return to the site by going north on Tungsten Street <br />off County Road #116, east on 143rd Lane and north on Potassium. Due to the substantial <br />number of homes existing on the proposed ingress route, City Staff is recommending that the only <br />haul route be that which has been proposed by the applicant as the egress route. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission proceeded to review the Findings of Fact. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Holland to accept #1 through <br />#12 as presented. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bawden, Commissioners Deemer, Holland, <br />Henddksen, LaDue, and Terry. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Thorud. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer commented that the decision on the hauling route has great bearing on how <br />the remainder of the facts are approved. <br /> <br />John Peterson, Good Value Homes, responded that it would be difficult to ingress and egress on <br />Sunfish Lake Drive because it is narrow and lined with trees on both sides. He reported that there <br />is a company interested in the material being hauled, and they feel they could possibly provide <br />flagmen or people on hand-held radios to direct traffic. He suggested taking the proposed egress <br />route and devise a system for traffic control so that the trucks do not meet on that road. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer confirmed that there is approximately 700 feet of road where the trucks <br />cannot meet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holland inquired if the applicant had any other objections. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson replied there were none. He agreed that the only other option was to go through an <br />existing development, and using only the proposed egress route will impact fewer people. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Holland to amend #13 through <br />#19 in the affa'mative. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Commissioner Deemer noted for the record that there were no objections from <br />residents on 146th Lane and "he owns the rest." <br /> <br />Planning Commission/August 1, 1995 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
