Background/Justification (Please indicate , y previous action has been taken or if other public bodies have advised): Xcel Energy has submitted a request to fill a ditch located at the A.S. King Facility. Please see EXHIBIT 1. 1. Final drainage plans shall be subject to the final review and approval of the City Engineer; ENCLOSURE 4 City Ordinance 308.08 — Land Reclamation and Grading, requires that a Conditional Use Permit be granted that would allow such activities that exceed 25 cubic yards per acre. The area proposed to be filled is a storm water drainage ditch that services the tower pads directly to the north and would exceed this threshold. This ditch ultimately drains to the St. Croix River via a 36" culvert. The proposed fill area does not alter such drainage plan and its ultimate downstream destination, Xcel Energy has provided a Notice of Wetland Conservation Act Decision, see EXHIBIT 2 which states that the wetlands that are to be filled in, are "incidental" and not naturally occurring wetlands; the ditch is a man-made structure that has taken on some wetland characteristics since construction. Upon review of the submitted information, there appears to be not to be any detrimental social, economic or environmental impacts; and that Staff recommends that the Conditional Use Permit be approved and the fill be permitted as requested by the applicant with the following conditions: 2. Xcel Energy shall submit drainage plans to the Middle St. Croix Water Management Organization for final review, once comments are provided Xcel may then potentially proceed. Comments received shall be provided to the City; Xcel Energy shall submit drainage plans to Minnesota DNR, Ms. Molly Shodeen for review, once comments are provided Xcel may then potentially proceed. Comments received shall be provided to the City. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the application on April 14 2005. Staff recommends to the City Council approval of the Fill Permit Application via CUP with the above three conditions. i r • • v .. k 1 A Sri ��..
