I , . . ". Kinutes of Regular Council Meeting January 12, 1981 explained that the .aterial is to be placed on the site in two to three weeks, to be hauled off after surcharge is effected, as needed over a two to three-year period; reported that the Planning Commisaion recommended approval with contingencie.; noted that there were two dissenting Planning Commission votes because of the industrial nature of the project and questionable benefit to the land. Killer noted that, as it .tands, the land benefits no one; surcharging could improve the land, and therefore benefit the City. Milton described surcharging ss an acceptable engineering process; noted that the stockpile area 1s well screened by tree.. In discussion, Kilton explained that the land haa been filled; engineering survey indicates that the stockpiling could be effec- tive in 6 months; difficult to know how long the process will take until tests are taken. Kilton noted that the western portion of the property is crossed by a high 11ne. So.e concern was expressed relative to displacement of the under- soil. Killer .reported that this matter was-discussed and is appar- ently not a RCWD concern. Kilton said he does not know the amount of fill on the property at this time; application is to place approx- imately 11,000 cu. yards of matsrial on the site; weight of material is about 3200 to 3400 pounds per cubic yard. Kr. Rudy (Shafer Contracting) explained that some of the 30,000 cu. yds. of .aterial originally intended to be placed on thi. site ha. been placed elsewhere; proposed resultant stockpile will, there- fore, probably be 7' to 8' in height. It wa. noted that the 7' height will take longer for .urcharge to be effective. Rudy sua- gested that, at the time ~aterial is brought in, it should be deter- mined where it should be located, on the site (within a certain area, but not neces.arily over the entire area - only where boriags indicate the need for surcharging). After discussion, Woodburn moved, seconded by HOllenhorst, that Council approve iasuance of a Special Use Per.it as reco..ended by the Planning Commission with the following changea: 1. Change the .aximum time limit from 30 months to 32 months from atarting date of March 1, 1981. 2. Amount of performance bond or Letter of Credit to be established by the contractor and submitted to the Council for approval. 3. Identifiable wetlands be cbaa.ed to "as defined by DNR". 4. Siae of stockpiling to not exceed 300' x 250' X 12' high. . Motion carried unanimously. OTHER BUSINESS Additional 1981 Comaittee members: ftayor ~rlCnton appOinted the following committee members: 1.
