The proposed development generally meets all land use and zoning requirements as outlined above. For the items listed in Table 4 that exceed the city’s code, the proposer will seek a conditional use permit (CUP). 10. Geology, Soils, and Topography/Land Forms a. Geology – Describe the geology underlying the project area and identify and map any susceptible geologic features such as sinkholes, shallow limestone formations, unconfined/shallow aquifers, or karst conditions. Discuss any limitations of these features for the project and any effects the project could have on these features. Identify any project designs or mitigation measures to address effects to geologic features. According to the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) conducted for the site (Braun Intertec, September 2014) bedrock geology on the project site consists of Middle Ordovician, Decorah. The Decorah Shale is a green, calcareous shale with thin limestone interbeds. The surficial geology consists of Pleistocene-age Grantsburg sublobe till deposits, which are typically loam-textured till, ranging from loamy sand to clay. They can be oxidizing gray to yellow-brown in color and are commonly banded with reddish-brown Superior lobe till or sand. There are no known sinkholes, shallow limestone formations, unconfined/shallow aquifers, or karst features present within or near project limits. b. Soils and Topography – Describe the soils on the site, giving NRCS (SCS) classifications and descriptions, including limitations of soils. Describe topography, any special site conditions relating to erosion potential, soil stability, or other soil limitations, such as steep slopes or highly permeable soils. Provide estimated volume and acreage of soil excavation and/or grading. Discuss impacts from project activities (distinguish between construction and operational activities) related to soils and topography. Identify measures during and after project construction to address soil limitations including stabilization, soil corrections, or other measures. Erosion/sedimentation control related to stormwater runoff should be addressed in response to Item 11.b.ii. 6 According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey, there is one soil type within the site—urban land. Due to the location of the site and the classification of the soil, the soil type is not rated for an erosion hazard rating, meaning that erosion is unlikely under ordinary climatic conditions.
