Contractors have approached him about buying fill, and he has applied for a mining permit to level the knoll and export approximately 200,000 yards of material. The material would be taken out on a haul road to County Road 63 and then fo/low the trunk highway system to the ultimate location. He plans to protect adjacent wetland with a silt fence, There are approximately 20 spruce trees and 7 hardwoods that would be replaced according to City ordinance, and he plans to plant the replacement trees along the west side of his property. The application is for a 5-year permit. Staff'would prefer to recommend a two-year permit, but City ordinance allows a maximum 3-year perm/t, and staff'would support a 3-year permit.
