As you know the City Council approved Xcel Conditional Use Permit for the temporary placement of
administrative trailers. The timing for the issuance of such actual permits will be approximately 7 days as
these must come from the City Attorney's office. In the interim, you may proceed with filling of the area
adjacent to the entrance station and as shown on the submitted plan.
You had indicated that there is to be some excavation prior to placing fill upon this site. Please ensure that
this fill is placed in an appropriate area, i.e. not in a wetland, drainage swale or other sensitive area. Please
submit a drawing where such fill is to be placed so the City has the fill site documented.
The area to be filled for these structures was discussed and was included in the CUP document and
authorizing resolution as approved by the Council. Please note that Xcel may place the trailers on this site
before both Xcel and the City have executed the CUP document as approved by the City Council, but you
would be required to correct any inconsisten with the CUP that may arise.
