Mr. Bridwell is <br />proposing to sell the material to Dresel Contracting for use as fill material needed in City of <br />Ramsey Improvement Project #8%04, extension of 153rd Avenue N.W. Since the 153rd Avenue <br />N.W. improvement project abuts Mr. Bridwell's property, there will be no need for trucks to use <br />any other City and County roads as haul routes in the excavation process. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br />d) <br />e) <br />f) <br />g) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Existing topography <br />Grading Plan <br />Engineer's review letter dated November 29, 1990 <br />Letter from David and Nadine King received November 29, 1990 <br />Proposed findings of fact <br />Proposed conditional use permit <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />On November 13, 1990, the City received an application from Geoffrey Bridwell for a conditional <br />use permit for grading, mining and excavation. <br /> <br />On December 4, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing and <br />reviewed the request.
