During the last three years the property has been subject to wading and export of soils by the landowner. The City granted a conditional use permit in 1998 to Gerald Bauer, landowner, for the express purpose ofgading and mining. The CLrP is up for renewal in August 2001. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Site plan Letter of !intent from David Ballard Proposed findings of fact Proposed conditional use permi~ ' Notification: In accordance with State Statute, City Staff attempted to notify all property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. Observations: David Ballard is proposing to lease a portion of the subject property from Gerald Bauer to facilitate a concrete batch mixing bus/ness. The property is currently zoned Industrial and is included in an ordinance adopted by the City Council on June 26, 2001, placing it within the boundaries of a 24-month development moratorium. The ordinance states that interim use permits may be considered during the moratorium. City Code states that an inter/m use permit can be in effect for a max/mum of 5 years. The application stated that the term of use would be for 24 months (2 years). The applicant is proposing to utilize the property at current wade set on bare ~ound. Staff recommends that compacted class-5 be utilized on the driveway and approach. Current/y, there are no structures on the property. Applicant is proposing the placement of an 18' x 20' shed for secure storage. Other temporary structures include an aggegate bin, conveyor, and cement silo. The silo will not e~end over 36-feet in height. There will'be no fuel tanks on site. Water needed for operation will be initially provided by a "buffalo" water tank and then by a sand-point well sometime in the future. Fencing with a. minimum height of 6-feet is recommended by Staff to encompass the area of operation. The landowner understands the intended use for the property and signed the Land Use Application as "fee title owner". Further inquiry, as directed by the Planning Commission, gives notme that the landowner does not wish the applicant to be included under his surety. Furthermore, the landowner was supportive of Staff/Planning Commission recommendatioris.
