I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />City of Ramsey <br /> <br />1/14/97 <br /> <br /> We are requesting a conditional use permit for the <br />purpose of ~emoving up to 200,000 cubic yards of sand fill <br />from our property at 6219 Green Valley Road. We have <br />submitted a plan showing contours of the existing hill as <br />well as wetlands to the south. We plan to have a finished <br />grade on the north slope of 874'9", with a 1%' slope to the <br />south, with a south slope elevation of not less than 871'9". <br />This height is well above the 109-year high water level of <br />863'9", per the DNR. <br /> <br /> We do not plan to interfere with any of the <br />wetlands or Trott Brook, which is 350-4~9' south of the 871' <br />contour. <br /> <br /> This hill has few trees on it, with the exception <br />of about 15 cedar trees and six oaks, some of which are <br />dead. We plan to replant an equal number of spruce trees <br />along the swale near the west line of the excavation. <br /> <br /> We plan to sell the sand, having the trucks that <br />are hauling enter the property from Green Valley Road, using <br />the proposed haul road to the excavation site, as shown on <br />the site plan, A silt fence will be maintained along the <br />south side of the excavation adjacent to the wetlands. The <br />topsoil will be removed and stockpiled with no more than 59% <br />of the site having the topsoil removed at one time. The <br />topsoil will be used to restore the site. <br /> <br /> When the excavation is completed, we intend to use <br />the property for agricultural purposes, with the finished <br />grade well above the high-wat~r level so as to leave the <br />property suitable for building. <br /> <br /> We are requesting the conditional use permit for <br />three to five years, with the option of receiving olean <br />till, not to exceed 10,909 yards annually. <br /> <br />Eric and Karla Thomsen <br /> <br /> <br />
