This request meets the city definition for mineral excavation and is, <br />therefore, regulated under the city's Mineral Excavation Ordinance and the conditional <br />use permit process is required. A zone change to the Mineral Excavation Overlay <br />District and a yearly Mineral Excavation License are not required under an exception to <br />the Mineral Excavation Ordinance (Section 720.04) because the excavation is proposed <br />to be completed within two years. <br /> <br />The petitioner is proposing to remove approximately 150,000 cubic yards of fill material <br />from the site. An additional 18,000 cubic yards of over burden will need to be moved on <br />site to accomplish this. The area disturbed by the operation is estimated to be <br />approximately 12.5 acres. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />· Vicinity map of the subject property <br />· Legal description of the subject property <br />· A letter from Tyler Enright of Ryan Contracting Co. <br />· Site plan of the proposed operation <br /> <br />REVIEW <br /> <br />EAW - Minnesota Rules 1995, 4410.4300 - A mandatory Environmental Assessment <br />Worksheet (EAW) is not required for this request. A discretionary EAW (MN Rule <br />4410.4500) can be ordered by the Regulating Governmental Unit (RGU), if they <br />determine the nature or location of the proposed project may have the potential for <br />significant environmental effects. The Elk River City Council is the RGU for this <br />project. This project is located outside of the area that was included in the city's <br />Environmental Impact Statement on Mineral Excavation. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
