Contractors have approached him about buying fill, and he has <br />applied for a mining permit to level the knoll and export approximately 200,000 yards of material. <br />The material would be taken out on a haul road to County Road 63 and then follow the trunk <br />highway system to the ultimate location. He plans to protect adjacent wetland with a silt fence. <br />There are approximately 20 spruce trees and 7 hardwoods that would be replaced according to <br />City ordinance, and he plans to plant the replacement trees along the west side of his property. <br />The application is for a 5-year permit. Staffwould prefer to recommend a two-year permit, but <br />City ordinance allows a maximum 3-year permit, and staff.would support a 3-year permit. <br /> <br />Public Hearing/Planning Commission/February 4, 1997 <br /> Page I of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
