CU 94-09 <br /> REQUESTED ACTION <br /> Brian Anderson is requesting a conditional use permit to excavate an <br /> estimated 5,000 cubic yards of black dirt from a wetland to construct an open <br /> water pond for wildlife viewing. <br /> SITE ZONING/LAND USE <br /> • Al (Agricultural Conservation)/A (Agricultural) <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> Location Map, Zoning Map, Site Plan, Letter from Applicant, Property <br /> Owners List <br /> OVERVIEW <br /> Mr. Anderson is requesting a conditional use permit which would allow him <br /> to excavate approximately 5,000 cubic yards of black dirt from an existing <br /> wetland. The excavated black dirt will be kept on site and used to landscape <br /> Mr. Anderson's yard. Excavations within wetlands that encompass more <br /> than one property owner must go through the conditional use process. This <br /> will give surrounding property owners a chance to voice potential concerns <br /> about the changing composition of the identified wetland. <br /> Mr. Anderson has proposed to excavate 5,000 cubic yards of fill from a 50' x <br /> 140' low land area which is part of a drainage and utility easement. All of <br /> the excavated black dirt will remain on site and be used for landscaping <br /> purposes. I have attached a site plan which shows the location of the <br /> • proposed excavation area and the location of the fill area.
