The following items are enclosed: a) Site location map b) Three-sheet project proposal c) Proposed findings of fact d) 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 500 feet of the subject property of the public hearing date. Observations: The applicant is proposing to mine soils from the pond and dirt mound on the site to raise the elevation of the property behind the house to make the backyard more useable. The project will enlarge the southeast comer of the pond by about 40 feet and increase the depth of the pond from approximately 6 inches to 3 feet. The project does not include any importing or exporting of soils from the site. Recommendation: City Staff recommends approval of the request for a grading permit. Commission Action: Motion to: recommend that City Council adopt findings of fact relating to Ronald Kabat's request for a conditional use permit to grade soils.
