These sites will be seeded with a DOT Borrow Pit Mixture, which consists of 60%rye and 40%permanent seed. The area disturbed in 1998 will be completely restored prior to September 1, 1998.

Upon completion of the reclamation of the site,the area will have no slopes steeper than 3:1, and there will be a 15' setback from any property lines. The final contours will blend into the natural surroundings to create a natural looking landscape. This project will leave the property owner with additional agricultural land along the flat portion of the site. This plan now also has one sheet of cross section drawing of the finished site. The site drawings do not propose any berming other than adjacent to the wet land. The site will be visible to westbound traffic on 12 & 18. There are other borrow areas further to the east which are already exposed. The highway, wetland and undisturbed agricultural area on this property bound the site on three sides. The Swenson property is located on the NW side on high ground with heavy vegetation. The draft conditions contain the same language as the previous CUP 1405 for full fencing (item 4). D. The application indicated no hours of operation but conversations with the applicant suggested that 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM would be sufficient, or other hours could be negotiated. Week end hours were not reviewed. The subject was not reviewed by the Town. Hours have been included in the draft conditions under item 6. E.. Zoning staff have indicated that the location will not need a special exception permit from the Board of Adjustment. F. The Town has approved this CUP with conditions. These conditions have been added to a suggested list of conditions attached(items 8 & 12- 22). These balance of the conditions are similar to the condition used for CUP 1405.
