<br />.. <br /> <br />3. The disposal of brush resulting from the clearing and grubbing associated with this <br />operation is of concern. Tree trunks will be salvaged for firewood. Limbs and brush will <br />be consolidated in piles surrounding the pond excavation where it will be left to <br />decompose. Staff is recommending covering brush piles with excavated material to <br />hasten decomposition and reduce the risk of fire hazard. <br /> <br />4. The proposed poIid will extend, primarily on the north into an area which is shown to be <br />at an elevation of 900, which is eight feet higher than the ditch elevation. Proposed <br />grades along the edge have not been specified. Staff is recommending that the transition <br />between existing grades and the proposed lake shall be a uniform grade consistent with <br />the maximum grade allowed in the City ordinances. <br /> <br />5. Topsoil stockpiles are identified (but not labeled) on Exhibit A surrounding the proposed <br />lake. Staff is recommending that a maximum height of 25 feet be established as proposed <br />in the application submittals. <br /> <br />6. Staff is recommending that only State and County highways be allowed for the transport <br />of excavated material from the property. <br /> <br />7. The proposal submittals suggest that excavated material may be placed temporarily or <br />permanently within areas that may be classified as wetlands. The terms of this permit <br />should be made to clearly identify that a permit may be required from the Lower Rum <br />River Water Management Organization, which has jurisdiction in enforcing the Wetland <br />Conservation Act. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />City Staff recommends approval of the request contingent upon compliance with the <br />recommendations in the in the letter from City Engineer Steve Jankowski to John Enstrom dated <br />August 28, 1997. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Recommend that City Council adopt findings of fact relating to John Enstrom's request <br />for a conditional use permit to grade and export soils. <br /> <br />-and- <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Recommend that City Council approve John Enstrom's request for a conditional use <br />permit to grade and export soils contingent upon compliance with the recommendations <br />in the letter from City Engineer Steve Jankowski to John Enstrom dated August 28, 1997. <br /> <br />pc: 09/02/97 <br /> <br />5i <br />
