The regulations will allow the city to better manage stormwater discharge, 292 <br />ensuring drainage does not negatively impact neighboring properties, manage hauling traffic and noise, 293 <br />and prevent erosion issues onto adjacent properties, wetlands, lakes, and roads. It is the intent that 294 <br />development conform to the character of the land wherever practical, and the reconfiguration of the land 295 <br />necessary to support development be kept to the minimum amount necessary. 296 <br />(Ord.

Required information may include, but is not limited to: Grading plans, cut/ fill calculations, haul 299 <br />route proposals, erosion control plan, and Watershed district comments. 300 <br />a. Grading plans involving Steep Slopes, Bluffs, or prepared for slope failure mitigation shall be 301 <br />prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Minnesota. Grading plans A 302 <br />planshall showing proper drainage and protection of adjoining properties shall be submitted. 303 <br />b. The city engineer shall have the authority to refer any requests for land alteration permits to the 304 <br />city council for review and approval in instances where the land alteration appears to create 305 <br />negative impacts to the infrastructure network, length of time of the project, or be inconsistent 306 <br />with the goals and policies of the community management plan. 307 <br /> 308 <br /> 309 <br />Commented [JB13]: Some methods for slope failure <br />mitigation include underground retaining structures. These <br />would still require a variance, for hardcover in the lake-yard. <br />Commented [JB14]: P.E to prepare grading plans in <br />sensitive areas.
