The applicant has submitted <br />an application to the MCWD along with the required plans and engineering. Staff finds the <br />proposed vacation and CUPS for the project reasonable with meeting all the requirements for a <br />condition use permit for grading the floodplain and land alterations. <br />Staff does not support the filling of the wetland for beach improvements. <br />Engineer Comments <br />The engineer has given comments at the time of preliminary plat, see attached Exhibit F, which <br />must be met before final plats can be approved. The engineer gave an addition comment to <br />ensure the newly created easement over the city sewer line is at minimum 10 feet wide on either <br />side of pipe, which totals a 20 foot wide easement needed. <br />Public Comments <br />To date, no public comments have been received. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. The Planning Commission should discuss the impact of trucking and hauling earth to <br />and from this site, as the applicant proposed a range of 130-230 total trucks to <br />complete the project. <br />2. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the <br />property in a reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? <br />3. Does the Planning Commission find that the variance(s), if granted, will not alter the <br />essential character of the neighborhood? <br />4. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the <br />impacts created by the granting of the requested variance(s)? <br />5.
