create traffic beyond what should be expected in a residential area. . Subparaqraph 5: Staff feels the use will be detrimental to people because of excess traffic and noise, and possibly smoke, fumes, and dust. It would be unfair to subject people in a residential area to this type of use for a period of two years. Subparaqraph 6: If the request were approved, a natural feature (the wetland) would be altered but not destroyed. Staff is not aware of other scenic or historic features in this area. Subparaqraph 7: If approved, the use would be subject to other codes including hours of operation for construction activities, soil erosion standards, slopes, etc. A mineral excavation license would not be required as the use is proposed to be completed within a 2 year time frame. RECOMMENDATION . Staff is recommending denial of the request for a conditional use permit to excavate 31,250 cubic yards of black dirt in a Type 3 wetland in the Royal Oaks Ridge subdivision. Staff feels this request does not meet the seven standards for a conditional use permit. Staff is particularly concerned with the traffic generated by the proposed use and the affect that the use would have on the residential area due to the magnitude and duration of the project. If the applicant were to find an alternative route for trucks to use and if the plan were altered to comply with the DNR recommendations which would downsize the pond and thus reduce the length of time it would take to complete the project, staff would be more supportive of the request. These changes would alleviate the concerns regarding traffic and other disruption to the residential area. Further, staff would recommend the following stipulations: 1. THE TRUCKS ALTERNATIVE STREETS. ENTER AND EXIT THE SITE FROM AN ROUTE, NOT THROUGH THE RESIDENTIAL 2. FOR SAFETY, AS WELL AS WILDLIFE PURPOSES, THE MEET THE DNR RECOMMENDATIONS OF 10 TO 1 SLOPES, AVERAGE DEPTH, MAINTAIN NATURAL VEGETATION ALONG EDGE, AND IRREGULAR SHORELINE. POND 2-3' THE 3. NO FILL BE PLACED WITHIN THE WETLAND BOUNDARY. 4. APPROVAL IS CONTINGENT ON BWSR AND SWDC COMMENTS. . 5. THE PROJECT BE DOWNSIZED IN DURATION AND SIZE TO MINIMIZE THE AFFECT OF THE OPERATION ON THE RESIDENTIAL AREA.
