We use 400 yards of soil and peat plus 50 yards of Canadian peat for our growing each year. it is essential we have soil for our growing. The physical <br />properties of this peat is vastly superior to peat from <br />marshes from Wayzata east to around the Twin Cities. <br />The wetlands located in Lot No. 1 was not wet lands <br />until I had constructed it in 1953. A careful study of the <br />terrain will show it has hardly any natural runoff. it was <br />built for irrigation purposes. It provides storage for <br />runoff from Hardcover area of greenhouses and ground <br />water. This 1s recycled back onto the growing crops. We <br />use 100,000 to 400,000 gallons of water a year from this <br />source. We have at this time only 2 choices to grow the <br />crops. Use this water or pump water from the aquifer in <br />our area. m the sense of conservation, it is my feeling <br />that the use of grade 2 water is to be preferred over grade <br />1 water. This has been an existing use prior to enactment <br />of ordinances referring to wetlands. We are a <br />nonconforming farm use with all the rights and privileges <br />that are available in that area. i believe this falls into <br />the accessory use within the scope of the zoning <br />requirements. <br />#12 - Page 3 of 6 <br />The requirement for 100 ft. eetbeck from the Luce Line <br />appeera to be more reatrictive than the ordinance.
