Mayor Napper opened the public hearing to consider an amendment to
Ordinance B, Zoning Ordinance, affecting Section 6.1 , District Use
Regulation - Agriculture District.
The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of Mailed and Posted
Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication. See Clerk' s File 1990-30.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson advised Otto Ped, 4991 - 145th
Street East, has requested the Zoning Ordinance Text be amended to allow
mineral extraction as a permitted use in the Agriculture District east of
State Trunk Highway 52 . Johnson further advised the current Zoning
Ordinance only allows mineral extraction in the General Industrial
District, and approval would allow a sand and gravel mining operation to be
conducted on Ped ' s property. See Clerk' s File 1990-30.
Johnson answered questions from Council regarding the reclamation of the
land after the mining is completed and the possibility of other mining
operations occurring in the vicinity if the Zoning Ordinance Text was
amended. Johnson noted that even though the previous zoning ordinance
permitted mining operations in an agricultural district, there were very
few operations .
Petitioner Otto Ped estimated the mining operation would last approximately
five to seven years, and trees would be planted once the ridge is removed.
Marlin Rechtzigel, 3540 - 140th Street East, requested that Council
consider moving the west boundary line of the permitted area for mineral
extraction to the abandoned railroad tracks located approximately 1100 feet
west of Highway 52 .

Improvements . The consulting engineer reviewed the recommended alternative
to overexcavate the pond to accommodate an additional 3 . 5 feet of standing
water and installing an 18 inch clay liner in the pond bottom at a total
estimatec3 cost of $94,000. Several residents expressed eoncerns the elay
liner and excavating could possibly eliminate existing vegetation. Because

consensus of the Council to hold anather public hearing to allow residents
the opportunity to provide input on this information. City Engineer Hefti

project until Spring, 1991; but the City had the capability of pumping the
pond in the event of storms or rising water due to rapid snow melt . File
