I <br /> Applicant Requests an Ordinance Amendment Regarding Extractive Use <br /> Applicant: City of Pequot Lakes <br /> Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. The language in red is what is proposed to be <br /> added and was suggested by a local contractor. They thought it would serve the City <br /> well. This amendment basically adds the requirement for a survey and 2 additional <br /> maps. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan pointed out the Certificate of Survey is to include <br /> existing vegetation within and adjacent to the project area. This doesn't really describe <br /> the types of trees, etc. We should identify major tree removal to correlate what we ask <br /> for in restoration. Mr. Burslie stated the proposed language is requiring more <br /> information than the existing ordinance. Staff could determine what is required with <br /> each application. The way rehabilitation is written covers this. <br /> Mayer Sjoblad asked after removal of tons of material, how d they re to�ee�towhat; <br /> was there originally. Mr. Burslie explained the need to restore with a 3:1 slope.,,;. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan further stated the requirement for existing <br /> drainage does not include wetlands. He suggested"Existing drainage patterns,wetlands <br /> and permanent water areas".,r�= <br /> In addition, Planning Commission Member Hallan,stated io-foot intervals for contours <br /> is pretty large and suggested 5400t intervals may better. A,/YO-foot interval could <br /> miss`a hill or a gully. He further suggested Map C include"proposed final grade ith <br /> maximum g=foot contour intervals`after deposit is removed and area restored". <br /> Planning Commission Members Habein and Wilson agreed that the survey should <br /> specify what type of trees are being removed so they can be replaced. The Planning <br /> Commission agreed to add"Description and location of existing vegetation within and <br /> adjacent to the project area". <br /> A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Wilson, seconded by <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan,to recommend the City Council <br /> amend the ordinance with the recommended changes. All members voted <br /> "aye". Motion carried. <br /> ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO AGENDA: None. <br /> OPEN FORUM: None. <br /> MINUTES 3 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> March 17, 2016 <br />
