BERGLUND AND JUNIPER RIDGE PARTNERSHIP By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer Background: Rum Acre Estate was platted in I974, however, Lot 1 Block 5 of the subdivision was encumbered with a temporary drainage easement until an outlet for the drainage no longer required that the lot itself be utilized as a reservoir for the drainage of the surrounding area. An outlet for this lot was constructed in 1990 as part of the utility work for the Juniper Woods Development. The lot owner has taken steps to remove the temporary drainage easement on the property, and on November 26, 1996 the City Council agreed to declare the condition of the temporary drainage easement met contingent upon compliance of certain requirements. · - · In anticipation of this easement vacation, the owner of the lot caused the placement of approximately four feet of imported fill material during the spring and summer of 1996, to establish a house pad. The volume of this Fill and the fact that it was imported required that a mining and grading conditional use permit should have been obtained. The following items are enclosed for your information: A. Site location map B. Lot survey C. Draft public hearing and planning commission meeting minutes dated Dec. 3, 1996. D. Proposed finding of fact E. Proposed conditional use permit Observation: This land parcel was intended to be a site for a single family home over twenty years ago. The placement of the fill and grading in conformance with the Certificate of Survey will result in a single family home site which will reasonably conform to the neighborhood. Recommendation: Staff recommends the following conditions should be included in the mining and grading permit: The applicant shall pay the cost associated with the patching of the pavement of Juniper Ridge Drive, where the pavement was broken up by the tractor hauling material to the site. This cost shall be agreed to be $250.00. 2. The applicant agrees to grade the lot in accordance with the Certificate of Survey, prepared by Charles F. Anderson and dated November 15, 1996. 3. The applicant agrees to establish turf over all disturbed area by seeding or sod before June 1, 1997.
