Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Beyer, Beahen and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Case Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Grade and Export Soils; Case of Good Value Homes, Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Good Value Homes has applied for a permit to grade and export soils from that area proposed to be platted as Pondview. Pondview consists of 85 acres proposed to be subdivided into 130 single family lots. The grading plan approved along with the preliminary plat for Pondview will require exporting approximately 120,000 yards of material from the site. City Code does not require a special permit for grading operations associated with an approved plat, unless the operations involve exporting soils from the site. There are three haul road access points proposed: two on County Road #116 and one on 149th Avenue. The applicant has indicated that the grading operation could take 12 months to complete. Silt fence and other erosion control measures have been proposed to protect adjacent properties and the wetland. The application was for three haul roads but the Planning Commission recommended not using 149th as a haul road. She noted that John Peterson and Derek Passe were present in the audience. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Peterson to adopt Resolution g96-04-074 adopting Findings of Fact 410398 relating to Good Value's request for a conditional use permit to grade and export soils.

Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Zimmerman, Beahen and Beyer. Voting No: None. Case #8: Request for Preliminary Plat Approval of Business Park 95 Addition; Case of City of Ramsey Zoning Administrator Frolik explained that the City of Ramsey is in the process of final platting the remainder of the original Business Park 95 in addition to some recently acquired property to the east. The area to be platted is approximately 65.5 acres in size and is proposed to be subdivided into six industrial lots for development, three outlots for future development, one outlot (B) for drainage and utility, and one outlot for possible future extension of McKinley Street to the City's eastern boundary. All of the lots meet the one acre minimum area requirement. All lots except Lot 2, Block 2, meet the 200 foot of frontage on a public road requirement. Lot 2, Block 2, is currently occupied by Bjorklund Ready Mix and, under the subdivision proposed, would become landlocked. The intent severing the Bjorklund parcel from direct access onto Uranium by the creation of Outlot B is to ensure the protection of a valuable grove of trees adjacent to Uranium Street. In exchange, the City would grant the Bjorklund parcel a perpetual easement for access to Uranium street purposes across Lot 3 to the south. All lots, except Lot 2, Block 2, will receive public access from McKinley, Uranium, or Industry Avenue. The Planning Commission is recommending approval. Motion by Councilmember Beahen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve the preliminary plat for Business Park 95 2nd Addition. City Council/April 9, 1996 Page 9 of 17
