Dear i-1r. Craig:
Re: County Project 6706
CSAH 18 from 2nd St. No.
to Minnehaha Creek
Attached is one print copy of Layout No. 16A dated April 29, 1977 of Hennepin
County Project 670F, CSAH 18 from 2nd St. No. to Minnehaha Creek.
Until recently, a full cloverleaf interchange had been proposed at the junction
111, of CSAH 18 and T.H. 7. This concept was based on the premise that T.H. 7 would
be upgraded to freeway standards and would accommodate traffic demands of
sufficient magnitude to warrant a full cloverleaf.
We have been informed by Mn/DOT that the upgrading of T.H. 7 to freeway standards
is no longer being considered. Consequently, T.H. 7 will not be able to accommo-
date the traffic volumes anticipated under the freeway concept.
The interchange design was re-evaluated, and it was determined that, because of
the limited capacity of T.H. 7, a full cloverleaf will not be warranted. The
design shown on Layout 16A will provide a level of service "C" . Hennepin County
and Mn/DOT staffs have approved this layout.
We are requesting your review and City Council approval of the Layout and their
authorization to proceed with right of way acquisition based on this layout.
If you have any questions please contact me at 935-3381 .

Case No: 77-13
Applicant: Mr. J. M. Barber
Location: Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, Block 2, L.P. Creviers First Addition
also known as SW corner of 14th Avenue & 5th Street South.
Request: Conditional Use Permit approval for "mining" and "land reclamation".
STAFF FINDINGS AND COMMENTS:
1. Mining is defined under Section 427.04-70 as "the extraction and removal
of materials from the land in the amount of more than 400 cubic yards".
As requested by Mr. Barber, he desires to remove the substandard soil
from an area approximately 250' x 125' or 31,250 sq. ft. 400 cubic yards
would equal a layer of earth 4" deep.
2. Substandard soil in an industrial district is assumed to be soil with a
poor bearing quality for a structure and in the case of peat might be as
deep as 30 to 40 feet. Evidence should be submitted relative to soil
conditions and a statement as to what is intended to be accomplished.
3. In addition to mining, Mr. Barber intends to fill the void created with
granular material which under the ordinance is Land Reclamation. Section
427.04-56 "Depositing of 400 cu. yds. or more of earth material so as to
elevate the grade".
4. In addition to the above consideration - most of Mr. Barber's land is
within the Flood Plain District which requires that a certain storage
capacity for surface water is to be accomodated if a permit to adjust
grades is approved.
5. The flood plain line as drawn on the zoning map was located from the best
topography data available to the city, thus, it would appear that the first
step Mr. Barber should take is to furnish precise topographic data for his
land which in turn can be used to varify the flood plain line. Having this
information and assuming some of the land is within the flood plain district,
a development plan should be made in conformance with Section 427.41. Having
said plan with a structure needing a particular foundation shape - the right
to mine and fill to fulfill a plan is a part of the Conditional Use Permit.
6. However, to approve a mining operation which does not relate to a plan would
be approving a black dirt operation and a landfill.
7. Mr. Barber needs a precise use or structure which the staff can review with
him to identify the decision requiring special action.

Re: Removal of Unstable Material in
Lots 1 through 5, Block 2
L. P. Creviers First Addition - Hopkins
Dear Mr. Barber:
•
The Board of Managers of the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District has
reviewed the plan and grading and land alteration permit application dated
August 15, 1977, as submitted to the District for the above referenced
project. The Managers find that the proposed project is in general conform-
411 ance with the policies set forth by the Watershed District and, therefore,
approve of the grading and land alteration permits subject to the following
conditions:
•
1. The District will require that all backfilled material
•
be placed and graded in such a manner as to not change
the existing topography of these lots. It is essential
that the area below the 896 elevation remain at/or be
placed back the same, as existing conditions for purposes
of 100-year flood storage.
2. The District will require that the proposed hay bales, as
. shown on the plan, be installed prior to the commencement
of land alteration. These bales must remain in place and
. be properly maintained until all altered areas on the site
•
have been restored. •
3. The District's approval is contingent upon full City of •
Hopkins' approval. •
411/ 4. The District requests to be notified 48 hours prior to the
. commencement of land alteration.
5. The District will require that clean fill be used as back-
fill material.

Case No: 77-18
Applicant: Modern Merchandising
Location: 1300 Second Street South
Request: To temporarily (90 days) locate a trailer in the parking lot
to function as an office.
COMMENTS AND FINDINGS:
1. The property is zoned I-1 and an office is a permitted use. The reason for
the request is that Modern Merchandising intends to remodel its computer
center and is in need of a location close by for the existing operation.
2. The reality of the request relates primarily to the application of the
Building Code which can not be varied by City action. However, if the
Planning Commission and Council approves the 90 day Conditional Use Permit
it is possible for the trailer to locate on the site during the construction
period.
3. The applicant has not furnished the City with data as to size, power source,
location, method of heat, number of employees to occupy, trailer appearance.
