RECOMMENDATION Although the site in question is not a location where staff would normally recommend approval of a mineral excavation permit, within the urban service, staff is recommending approval of the revised plans for mineral excavation for Ryan Contracting Co. Staff believes there truly is an excess of soil on the site to accomplish a grading plan for a future residential plat. Also, there is a need for this material on adjacent sites that do not necessitate using busy public streets in the core of the city for access. This permit is meant to be a onetime excavation during a short time period, not an ongoing operation. The Planning Commission is recommending approval of the request for mineral excavation by Ryan Contracting Co. under the following stipulations: Duration of Operation That the operation is allowed to continue until Tyler Street is finished and open to the public, probably sometime in September 2000, but in no case longer than November 15, 2000. Hours of operation Normal hours of operation shall be adhered to, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Haul Route That vehicles from the site are allowed to cross Tyler Street, but do not use this street or any other public road for access, unless specifically approved by the City Engineer. Further, the crossing of Tyler Street shall be with on-road vehicles only, once the curb for that road has been constructed and shall cease altogether once Tyler is open to the public. The particulars of this stipulation and possible alternative haul route shall be coordinated between the City Engineer and Ryan Contracting. Oak wilt No trees shall be cut on the site from April 15 to July 15, except for isolated trees or trees cut in compliance with a plan approved by the Sherburne County Forester. Additionally, trees that are to remain on the site, including their root systems, shall be protected from mechanical damage at all times during the operation. Erosion and Dust Control Erosion control shall be installed as shown on the revised plans and maintain at all times during the operation. Because of the proximity of the wetland on the site to the excavation, water, not chemicals shall be used to control dust. The city reserves the right to require additional measure be used to control erosion and dust as needed. Work within Power Line Easement That Ryan Contracting provide the city written confirmation of the City of Hutchinson's acceptance of the work being done in their easement.
