Date: October 14, 2024 Item: 19 Presenter: Melanie Curtis, Planner Section: Consent Agenda Title: LA24-000045, 3660 - 6th Ave N, IUP, Resolution No. 7516 1.Purpose: The purpose of this action item is to review a proposed lead reclamation project for Park Gun Club. 2.MN§15.99 Application Deadline: The application was submitted and considered to be complete on August 21, 2024, therefore the 60-day review period will end on October 20, 2024. 3.Background: Park Gun Club is planning its first lead shot reclamation project on their property at 3660 - 6th Avenue North. The majority of the shotgun range consists of wetlands. The project involves the removal of the hydric soils from the wetland in 100' x 600' sections. The lead shot will be separated from the soil and the soil will be replaced any roots and seed bank contained within the soils. Silt fencing will be installed into each section as the removals progress. Due to the proposed extraction of material (mining) and soil processing proposed, an interim use permit pursuant to City Code Section 78-1726 is required. Refer to the full Planning Report for more detail on the project. The processed lead shot will be collected and bagged on-site. Once enough bags of shot have been accumulated, the material will be trucked off-site. They estimate it will take approximately 1 to 2 weeks to process enough material to be shipped. While the material is being processed, it will be stored on the property in the lower parking area. They anticipate that, once it begins, the project will take approximately six months with a total of 30-35 truckloads of exported material. 4.Planning Commission Vote and Comment: At their meeting on September 16th, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval of the IUP by a vote of 6 to 0 with a condition triggering a Council review of the interim use permit should the City receive complaints about noise or construction activity hours. 5.Staff Recommendation: Planning Staff recommends approval of the interim use permit for Park Gun Club conditioned upon compliance with the permitting requirements from all applicable jurisdictions (Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Army Corps of Engineers) and issuance of an administrative grading permit from the City. AGENDA ITEM COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Council should move to adopt Resolution No. 7516 approving an interim use permit for Park Gun Club's lead reclamation project. 132
