Case #6 Request to Renew a Conditional Use Permit to Mine and Export Soils; Case of Sidney Nyhusmoen Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik explained that on April 26, 1994, the City Council granted a conditional use permit to Sidney Nyhusmoen to mine and export soils from Lot 1, Block 1, HY-10 Ramsey 4th Addition. That permit was issued with an expiration date of May 1, 1997. She explained that on February 6, 1997, the City received a written request from Mr. Nyhusmoen for a renewal of the permit because the project had not been initiated during the initial three-year permit. In accordance with City Code, a public hearing was held by the Planning Commission. There were no written or verbal comments submitted from neighboring property owners. Zoning Administrator Frolik noted the subject property is approximately 4.4 acres in size, zoned Industrial, and surrounded by industrially-zoned property. The grading plan proposes no importing of fill materials, no blasting, and no impact to drainage. The applicant is proposing to strip the topsoil, export approximately 14,730 cubic yards of material, and replace the topsoil. The Planning Commission and City Staff recommend approval of the permit as none of the circumstances have changed over the last three years. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution #97-03-058 adopting Findings of Fact #0418 relating to Sidney Nyhusmoen's request for a conditional use permit to mine and export soils. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Beyer, Beahen and Haas Steffen. Voting No: None. City Council/March 25, 1997 Page 6 of 10
