V. NEW BUSINESS.
1. Proposal by Rehbein Properties to continue black dirt processing on their industrial
property. Matt Rehbein was present to speak on behalf of the owner.
Administrator Larson reviewed the proposal, noting that the existing operation is not in
conformance with the current Zoning Code and the City has not issued any permits for the
property. The City reached an unwritten agreement with the owner to not bring in any new dirt in
order that the non-conforming operation be phased out. The dirt, at one point, may have been up to
300,000 cubic yards. Matt Rehbein reports that there is less than 50,000 cubic yards remaining on
the property.
A preliminary application was reviewed. The application was not complete and no fees or deposits
have been paid. The proposal requests that up to 300,000 cubic yards of black dirt be allowed and
up to 500,000 cubic yards of compactable fill be allowed on the site. Mr. Rehbein indicated that
most of the compactable material would be used on the property to prepare it for development.
The Commission discussed the potential impact on the access streets and the fact that this is a very
intensive use on a property that does not contribute much in the way of taxes. It was suggested that
a per yard fee could off-set that concern, possibly ten cents per yard for material brought in and 25
cents per yard for material leaving the site. If a permit were issued, limitations placed on the
operation could include hours of operation, speed of trucks, sweeping of streets, erosion and
sediment control, maximum height of piles, etc. The Commission suggested that a cross-section
survey be completed to determine what amount of material is still remaining on the site and to
determine what heights could be expected on piles if the permit allowed the requested volumes.
Also, information should be provided to show how much compactable material is needed to
balance the sites for development.
When additional information is provided, and application fees and deposits paid, it may be
possible to get a determination in October that the application is complete and then to schedule a
public hearing in November.
