one resident present expressing concern with project size, erosion control, and administration of the permit. Subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting, the developer supplied the City with a phasing plan for the grading operations. The grading is proposed to bc accomplished in accordance with the 13 sub-areas identified on the two-phase plat development plan prepared by Ulteig Engineers, Inc. and dated January 12, 2001. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request and given the scope of the project, the standard $5,000 surety be increased accordingly. Based on a meeting with the applicant subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting, City staff recommends that the proposed findings of fact be amended to reflect the receipt of a phasing plan; that the permit limit excavation to no more than two sub- areas at any given time, restrict imported materials to topsoil, and the trucks must have additional axles when truck traffic has no alternative but to utilize streets constructed at less than nine ton standards. Councilmember Zimmerman stated that he has heard concerns by residents that they have not been the best on dust control in the past. City Engineer Jankowski replied that those complaints were heard during the public hearing as well as the complaint of them working on Saturdays. A large majority of the excavating will be done yet this winter and the applicant has agreed to not do any work on the weekends. Dennis Peck, Director of Development North Fork, Inc., stated that the contractor that will be hired to do the grading has not yet been chosen. They are anticipating that 100,000 yards of the materials will be taken out this year, and do not expect that Rehbeins will be part of the export or grading. City Engineer Jankowski reviewed the haul route that will be used as part of the conditions of the grading permit. He stated that condition #19 of the grading permit should be amended to include the route to be used when the golf course is in operation and stated that there shall be no use of local roads during the spring load limitation period.
