TO:Planning Commission <br />FROM:Jeanne A. Mabusth <br />DATE:June 11, 1981 <br />SUBJECT:#625 Roger Veon, 1330 Sixth Ave. North <br />Conditional Use Permit <br />Zoning District - RR-lB <br />Application - "After the fact" conditional use permit <br />Area - 2.6 acres <br />6840 sf of pond area <br />Mr. Veon has excavated a wetland or drainage area of ap­ <br />proximately 30' X 288' to create a wildlife ponding area. <br />The subject area is located in a centralized collector point <br />of an extensive network of an agricultural drainage tile <br />system coming in from the north east and north west. Through <br />the years of use the tiles were broken and now drain out over <br />the land causing a waterfall <br />Sheean property to the south. The Veon property in the area <br />of the spill out was continuously wet and mucky. Please re­ <br />view applicant's comments enclosed in packet. <br />The pond covers an area 30' x 228' or 6840 sf. The site plan <br />that Veon has sketched is accompanied by photos that are <br />numbered and keyed to the drawing. The photos will be avail­ <br />able at the meeting. <br />Joel Settles, limnologist U.S. Soils Office, advises that <br />the pond appears to meet specifications established by U.S. <br />Soils office for wildlife ponds. He will ask the environmental <br />engineer that specializes in this subject to review the ap­ <br />plication and the site of excavation. <br />Environmentally, he can see no problem. He advises that there <br />are specific criteria that wildlife ponds must meet if they <br />are to be effective. <br />For Example: <br />1) drainage area must be extensive enough to keep certain <br />level of water <br />2) slope of banks - must have gradual sloping banks <br />3) island area <br />Unfortunately, the review can not be completed by Monday <br />night's meeting. I would advise tabeling the application <br />until we receive the necessary imput. <br />*■ ^m
