The excavated area will then be filled with <br />clean soil to create a buildable area for future development. The site has two large wetlands that <br />bookend the dry land and is located between Wayzata Boulevard and Highway 12. The applicant <br />plans to remove the trees and demolish the existing building. The existing contaminated area is <br />roughly 9.86 acres. The project will excavate approximately 5.39 acres and consolidate the <br />contaminated material to the landfill area of 4.28 acres. The plan identifies that the work will <br />extend into the edges of the wetlands which will be restored to the pre-existing contours after <br />waste removal and vegetated. The project will include approximately 67,000 cubic yards of <br />excavated waste material; the clean soil will be spread over the contaminated material to cap the <br />new embankment/berm and spread throughout the site. The applicant requests an Interim Use <br />Permit for grading to create an embankment for the contaminated soil and spread clean soil over <br />the remainder of the site. <br /> <br />The applicant is currently seeking approval from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and <br />Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) regarding the soil remediation of the contaminated <br />material on the site. <br />4.Staff Recommendation: <br />Planning Staff recommends approval conditioned upon compliance with the permitting <br />requirements from all applicable jurisdictions. <br />5.Planning Commission Action Requested: <br />The Planning Commission should make a motion to recommend approval of the IUP. <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />Exhibit A - PC Staff Report <br />Ex B.
