Zoning File #1.310 august 8, 1988 Page 2 of 2 Renewal of Application #1103 - The original conditional use permit approved the filling of the former dump site on the Eisinger property, totalling 12 acres in area, to a maximum of 100,000 cubic yards of clean fill from the I-394 improvement project (review Exhibits E, G, H, and I). Council accepted the Planning Commission and staff recommendati.an to limit fill to a maximum of 100,000 cubic yards resulting in no more than a 5' overall increase in height from the existing eleva'C4ons at the dump site. As proposed, all filling would take place approximately 35' from the designated wetland area that surrounds the dump site on both the east and west sides. Resolution #2192 reviews the limits of the land alterations approved with the application and also sets forth the guidelines by which the fill project will be maintained by the applicant, under the supervision of the City ..taff's inspections. Staff has reviewed those original conditions. It is not clear how long the City will allow exposed earth to remain on the pruperty prior to the final grading and seeding. Consider the application that involved the filling of a 11' high berm on County Road 6 in the western part of the City. The filling began over a year ago and the berm has remained in a disturbed condition for over a year. Staff is concerned that once this filling project begins, `here may be lapses in time where exposed sections of earth remain at the site for long pericds of time. There will of course be adequate erosion control provided throughout the project. The resolution should provide clear guidelines for the staff responsible for supervising this project, when areas remain with fill unattended for over 30-60 day periods of time, staff should either be directed to bring the application before the Council for further direction or to immediately require applicant to complete the final grading of the area and seed immediately. It may be that these concerns are not valid, as once the filling begins on a project this size, there may be no delays in th- hauling of the materials. The applicant and the representative from Par Construction. Mr. Gannon, should provide more background on this phase of the ariYlication. I. any of the new members on the Planning Commission seek addition 1 information ur imFut on the part of staff, please contact my office pri.Jr to the meeting.
