To the degree possible,the adverse impacts <br /> should be limited and mitigated. <br /> Criteria 10 through 12, as well as 15, discuss mitigation of undesirable views and potential nuisances. <br /> The finished grade will be vegetated and crop farmland, which will blend into the property. The project, <br /> once completed, should not result in undesirable views requiring mitigation. Curtis noted the applicant <br /> has planted a considerable number of trees along Watertown Road in order to screen the property further. <br /> The haul routes should be submitted and will be monitored for damage and debris. The applicant will be <br /> required to keep debris off of the public roadways. The resulting noise from the trucks hauling and <br /> equipment moving the material in and around the site should be minimized to the extent possible. The <br /> grading project has been evaluated and will be monitored by the City Engineer and Planning Staff so as to <br /> minimize nuisances during the project. <br /> Criteria 13 is the standard that requires that the project be designed to take into account the natural, <br /> scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact. A wetland delineation has <br /> been submitted and approved by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. The material removed from <br /> the wetlands in the previous phase of the project will be returned and the area vegetated as directed by the <br /> MCWD. The project will continue to be monitored by the MCWD, the City, Hennepin County <br /> Environmental Services, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to prevent erosion from the site <br /> and/or sediment deposition into the wetland area. <br /> The Planning Commission should discuss the following: <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission find that the property owner proposes to use the property in a <br /> reasonable manner which is not permitted by an official control? <br /> 2. Does the Planning Commission find that the conditional use permit, if granted, will not alter the <br /> essential character of the neighborhood? <br /> 3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the impacts <br /> created by the granting of the requested conditional use permit, such as dedicated haul routes, <br /> Page 15 of 79 <br />
