The applicant is proposing to excavate in the 2,500 square <br />foot area to generate top soil and backfill for the construction of a new home on the property. <br />The applicant initially proposed the vacated /excavation area to be northeast of the proposed house <br />location in the heart of the easement and near a ditch. <br />After the staff Site Plan Review meeting, staff recommended the vacated/ excavation area be moved as <br />close to the wetland border as possible, as shown on the Area Moved Exhibit, and away from the <br />ditch /stream to avoid the excavated site from drawing water from the stream. <br />The applicant was unable to get a revised survey to staff in time to include in the packet. Staff will <br />provide the revised survey at the meeting if received. <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Attachments <br />• Initial Survey <br />• Area Moved Exhibit <br />P a w E A E U s r <br />NaA f RE] <br />
