Case #2: Re'quest for a Conditional Use Permit to Grade and Export Soils; Ca'se of Good Value Homes, Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik reported that Good Value Homes have applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) to gade and export soils from what is proposed to be platted as Chestnut Ridge 2nd Addition in order to create more attractive building sites. Said development received preliminary plat approval from the City on August 22, 1994 and consists of 65 acres proposed to be subdivided into 72 single family lots. Ms. Frolik explained that the applicant is proposing to strip the topsoil, remo~,e and export approximately 15,000 cubic yards of materials, and replace the topsoil. The appli~cant proposes that the material would be removed from the site by hauling belly dumps south on Pbtassium Street and west on 145th Lane and Sunfish Lake Drive to Sunfish Lake Boulevard, and then the empty trucks would return to the site by going north on Tungsten Street off County Roads#II6, east on 143rd Lane and north on Potassium. Due to the substantial number of homes ~existing on the proposed ingress route, City Staff is recommending that the only haul route be that Which has been proposed by the applicant as the egress route. The Planning Commission proceeded to review the Findings of Fact. Motion by Commi~'ssioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Holland to accept gl through # 12 as presented. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bawden, Commissioners Deemer, Holland, Hendriksen, LaDue, and Terry. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Thomd. Commissioner D~mer commented that the decision on the hauling route has great bearing on how the remainder of the facts are approved. John Peterson, Good Value Homes, responded that it would be difficult to ingress and egress on Sunfish Lake Drive because it is narrow and lined with trees on both sides. He reported that there · is a company antarested in the material being hauled, and they feel they could possibly provide flagmen or people on hand-held radios to direct traffic. He suggested taking the proposed egress route and devise a, system for traffic control so that the trucks do not meet on that road. Commissioner Deemer confirmed that there is approximately 700 feet of road where the trucks cannot meet. Commissioner Holland inquired if the' applicant had any other objections· Mr. Peterson replied there were none. He agreed that the only other option was to go through an existing development, and using only the proposed egress mute will impact fewer people. Motion by Comrrfi~'ssioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Holland to amend #13 through #19 in the affirmative. Further Discussion: Commissioner Deemer noted for the record that there were no objections from residents on 146tli Lane and "he owns the rest." _ Planning Commission/August 1, 1995 Page 3 of 6
