wetland, and a silt fence will not prevent it. He would also like to know exactly how many trees will <br />be lost, especially along the northern corner of Sunfish Lake. The trees along the lake are protected <br />by the shoreland ordinance. <br /> <br />Mr. Kurak responded that no trees will be removed from the shoreline of Sunfish Lake. Trees 100 <br />feet from the shore will be disturbed. He offered to work with the City to produce needed documents <br />as a contingent of approval. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bawden asked if trees along County Road 56 will be removed. <br /> <br />Mr. Kurak answered that those trees will not be touched and showed a rendering of the plan to the <br />Commission and indicated the tree line and location of the silt fence. He stated that over 100 trees <br />will remain and offered to replant as directed by the City. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer noted that the mining and grading permit is only for five acres at a time. <br /> <br />Mr. Kurak stated that the conditional use permit is for three years, and he expects to complete the <br />work in that time. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jensen asked the amount of soil that will be removed. <br /> <br />Mr. Kurak stated that approximately 800,000 yards will be removed from the entire site. He expects <br />to develop .5-acre lots of single family homes in the price range of $200,000. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik noted that several calls have been received by the City requesting <br />information about what is happening to this area. She has responded that she expected the matter <br />to be tabled, and residents would be renotified of the public hearing, when all of the information can <br />be presented in one package. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer asked if an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is necessary if only <br />five acres at a time is excavated. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski answered, yes. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bawden stated that the Commission's concern is that neighbors have not had the <br />opportunity to hear the plan. In fairness to those who are interested, the public heating should be <br />continued. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Holland to continue the public <br />hearing to the next regular Planning Commission meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
