Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 2, 2019 Page 29 Mr. Culver indicated it is being done and on the erosion control side that is what is being inspected once a week. Councilmember Groff also read in the information that "stabilization is required for stockpiles and exposed soils that have not been worked for 14 days." This sounds like work would be done and then work would not be done on the property for a while according to residents he has spoken to. He asked how the 14 days works. Mr. Culver explained the site does not have to stay active within a 14-day period. It just means that if there is exposed soil or stockpiles of materials and the project is not worked on for fourteen days then the city requires them to cover it with hay or spray it down with some material to keep the material from eroding away if it rained or something and that is inspected. Councilmember Groff indicated another thing is under bullet point 3 where it says estimated time to complete work and is included in the permit. He wondered what happens if it goes beyond the estimate time. Mr. Culver explained the initial time for completion was the fall of 2018 and the city grading permits do not necessarily expire. The city asks for the estimated time to complete work, but it does not mean that the work has to be finished by that time, it just gives the city an idea of how long the site is going to be open and worked on. Now with the permits expiring annually staff will put a little more scrutiny on that schedule in order to keep everyone in the area informed as well. Councilmember Groff noted on line 111 it states, "protect paved roads from sed- iment and mud brought in from access routes," and asked how that is done. Mr. Culver explained that is tied into the erosion control permits. The city gener- ally requires a rock construction entrance and one of the things that gets a lot of scrutiny and the contractor has to redo periodically because the rock gets muddy and not effective anymore. The rock entrance is supposed to knock the mud and dirt off the tires of the trucks. Councilmember Etten thought the implementation and notification area was a good idea. He asked if staff had a proposal as to how far out from the site that no- tification would go. Mr. Culver explained the intent would be to really look at the haul route impact and each project would be different. In this case the city would have done all of Victoria and Roselawn. The city may or may not have sent notifications to resi- dents on County Road B. He was not aware of any complaints from there.
