The following items are enclosed: 1. Site location map 2. One sheet grading plan 3. Draft Planning Commission public hearing and meeting minutes dated 7/7/98 4. Proposed findings of fact 5. Proposed conditional use permit Notification: State statute requires notification of the public hearing to property owners within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff attempted to notify property owners within 700 feet of the subject property of the public hearing date. Observations: The applicant has indicated that the ultimate deposition of the subject property will be the development of single family homes in accordance with the covenants for Pineview Estates 2nd Addition. It is unlikely that the proposed silt fence alone will be adequate to prevent erosion into the wetland. It is recommended that the permit require the construction of a sump area upstream of the silt fence, having a storage volume capable of storing a one-inch storm. This sump should have an outlet control device approved by the City Engineer. The finished grade slopes on the west and south boundary of the site are proposed to be 25%. Section 9.4.18, subd. 11, of the City Code states that no finished slope shall exceed 12%. These slopes should be flattened to reach a maximum slope of 12%. The County Highway Department has requested that the conditional use permit terms include a 75-foot gravel approach onto the County Road.
