Chairperson Anderson closed the regular portion of the Planning Commission meeting at 7:25 p.m. in order to conduct the public hearing. Public Hearing Chairman Anderson called the public hearing to order at 7:25 p.m. Presentation In 1995 and again in 1997, the City issued grading permits to North Fork, Inc. to re-grade Lots 3 and 4 in Northfork Lake and export approximately 15,000 cubic yards of material from the site. The grading permit was approved in order to create more attractive, walkout style building sites. Both of the previous grading permits lapsed prior to the grading project being initiated or completed. In February of this year, the City received a new application for a grading permit on the subject property. The revised project would consist of movement of about 6,00 yards of material and no exporting of soils from the site. The Applicant has indicated that removal of the soils from the site is cost prohibitive to the project and that the project would take approximately 30 days to complete. Citizen Input There was none. Motion by Commissioner Wivoda, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to close the public hearing. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Anderson, Commissioners Wivoda, Johnson, Dempsey, Kociscak, and Wivoda. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Jensen and Nixt.
