Case No. 83-9, Special Use Permit - Excavation and Fill, Lot 1, Block 1, Valentine Hills (Valcourt Company) Miller reported that the Planning Commission recommends denial of a Special Use Permit for the Excavation and Fill plan proposed because of an engineering flaw which based calculations on a 30' building setback, instead of the required 40', and because the data received by the Commission was insufficient without a report from the City Engineer. Deputy Clerk Zehm reported that Mr. Rekucki was advised of to- night's meeting. Miller explained that the applicant also indi- cated at the Planning Commission meeting that he would be at to- night's Council meeting, but is not present; noted that the Plan- ning Commission did not have the benefit of the City Engineer's report. Miller reported that some of the Planning Commission's concerns were that it was dealing with "unknowns" - not sure of grading plans or how property is proposed to be subdivided; con- cerned about how surcharging would affect elevations, since de- veloper said he did not propose to exeavate and fill. Mrs. Schacht,1683 W. County Rd. F, expressed concern that "noth- . ing has been put in writing<<; we are all assuming what is proposed; feels decisions should not be made on assumptions. In discussion, Miller explained that the developer proposes to haul in fill to bring the proposed building pads to an elevation slightly above the street elevations; lots would be mounded to allow for settling (surcharging); explained that he would then have to excavate under the slab to approximately 8' to support a building, according to report of his soi~ engineer. It was noted that the developer said he does not intend to dig out the 8' of silt; intends to only take out what he has to, after surcharging, and then fill and build. Council was referred to Engineer Christoffersen's letter of April 17, 1980 (Case No. 79-43) relative to application for Valentine Hills No.2 subdivision of this site, and to Christoffersen's letter of 5-6-83 -2-
