<br /> <br />ITEM 6. 1. <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL - ) <br />~V <br />JANELLE SCHMITZ, ZONING ASSIST~._../~l <br /> <br />JANUARY 27, 1993 l-/~ <br /> <br />CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST BY <br />STEVEN SHOEMAKER/PUBLIC HEARING, <br />CASE NO. CU 92-025 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />APPLICANT <br /> <br />The applicant, Steven Shoemaker (11106-190th Avenue NW) is <br />requesting a conditional use permit to excavate a wetland area <br />to create an open water pond in Royal Oaks Ridge. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The Planning Commission originally reviewed this item at the <br />December 22, 1992, meeting and it was continued to January 26, <br />1993, allowing the applicant to address several concerns <br />(including traffic, size of the pond, duration of the project, <br />and comments from the DNR). For details, I have attached a <br />copy of the memo dated December 16, 1992, the December 22, <br />1992, and the January 26, 1993, Planning Commission Minutes. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />TRUCK TRAFFIC <br /> <br />The app~icant has obtained permission from property owners <br />Larry Morrell and George Deschenes to route truck traffic <br />through their property to County Road 13, south of the affected <br />property. The trucks would enter onto County Road 13, <br />approximately 1/4 mile from its intersection with 5th Street. <br />Staff spoke with Harvey Richner, Sherburne County Highway <br />Department, regarding access to the County Road. Mr. Richner <br />stated although no access permit would be required, the County <br />would like to see the area "signed" to inform traffic of trucks <br />entering and exiting in this location. Also, the applicant <br />will need to comply with weight restrictions placed on County <br />roads. It appears that a field road exists in this location, <br />however, the applicant has indicated fill may need to be <br />brought in to support the weight of the trucks. <br /> <br />REVISED SITE PLAN <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />I have included a copy of the revised site plan for your <br />review. Although the surface area of the pond would remain <br />approximately 3 acres, Mr. Shoemaker has revised the site plan <br />to reduce the estimated amount of excavated fill from 31,250 <br />cubic yards of fill to 19,000. This was done by reducing the <br />slopes and depth of the pond. The north 1/2 of the pond would <br />maintain 5:1 slopes and would have an average depth of 4-5 <br />feet. The homeowners would like to keep the area surrounding <br />the front of the pond manicured; natural vegetation would not <br /> <br />720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
