The property <br />is n2l located within a shoreland area. The CUP allows the City to notify surrounding property <br />owners and requires City Council approval for such proposed projects. <br />Application Summary: <br />The property owners have requested a conditional use permit to permit land alteration on the <br />property over 500 cubic yards. The project will be to build a berm along the southern border of the <br />property along Sixth Avenue North. The berm will help to screen the ice arena and trail from the <br />property'. Approximately 4500 cubic yards of fill will be required to build the berm. The applicants <br />currently do not have a source of fill, but are asking for approval now so when fill does come <br />available they can begin immediately. <br />The berm will be higher than the trail. Approximately 2-3 feet higher. There currently are no trees <br />in this area. Upon completion of constructing the berm native prairie seed w ill be planted on it. <br />Future plans include the planting of evergreens, deciduous trees and shrubs on it. <br />Land Alteration and Transporting the fill to the Site: <br />4,500 cubic yards of fill can be measured by the number of truck loads that will be required to <br />transport the material to the site. A typical truck can haul between 10 to 15 yards of fill. That would <br />mean a total of approximately 300+ truck loads would be delivered to the site. The access route will <br />be through the property from Homestead Trail to avoid traffic on County Road 6. <br />#02-2767 <br />2940 Sixth Avenue North <br />April 11,2002 <br />Page I of 2 <br />■I. <br />i
