Planning & Zoning Commission Report and Recommendation
.
The Planning & Zoning Commission met on June 6, 2006, to hold a public hearing to
consider a request of Anoka County for a conditional use permit (CUP) to excavate and
fill in the floodway for the purpose of relocating a portion of Clearwater Creek.
Findings:
1)The applicant provided evidence that the CUP would be needed to avoid a hardship
and practical difficulty.
2)The applicant provided evidence that public safety would be compromised if the
variance were not granted, specifically that the proposed safety improvements to
County State Aid Highway 14 could not be constructed without the proposed CUP.
3)The Commission determined that no permanent adverse impacts to adjoining
properties would be caused by granting the CUP.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends that the Conditional Use Permit be
granted, finding specifically that the applicant has satisfied the necessary criteria to
qualify; however, subject to the following conditions:
1)The project may be constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications
submitted with the application provided Grantee’s engineer submits a certificate
indicating that the expected water velocity, duration, rate of rise, base flood
elevation and sediment transport for the completed segment of the creek will not
exceed that of the portion of Clearwater Creek that the project replaces.
2)Grantee will follow the standards and requirements of the City of Centerville,
Rice Creek Watershed District, Army Corp of Engineers, FEMA, Minnesota
DNR and any other agency having jurisdiction over the project or the waters of
Clearwater Creek.
3)At the completion of the project grantee’s engineer shall submit a certificate that
the project as-constructed was completed in conformance with the plan filed with
the application.
4)Grantee will secure a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) from Federal Emergency
Management Agency subsequent to the completion of the project, but not later
than 12 months following completion.
