Re: Interim Use permit for Site Grading - Planning Case #07-16
Dear Mr. Klingelhutz and Mr. Wert:
This letter is to confirm that on September 24,2007, the Chanhassen City Council
approved the following:
An Interim Use Permit to permit up to 46,000 cubic yards of fill, plans prepared
by Allen R. Hastings, dated August 13,2007, revised August 21, 2007, subject to
the following conditions:
1. A demolition permit is required for the removal of any structure(s).
2. If future construction in this area is anticipated, these soils must be engineered
for the intended structural loads and their placement must be properly
compacted and tested as required by such soil engineering. A report,
verifying placement, compaction and soil suitability, from the testing agency
will be required before building permits will be issued.
3. Show the trees for the US West Telephone property in the existing conditions
and the proposed grading plan. Preserve as many trees as possible in this area
to provide screening for the building.
4. Install tree protection fencing around all trees to be saved on site.
5. Tree protection fencing and erosion control fencing must be installed and
inspected by the City prior to beginning site grading.
6. Silt fence must be added around the outer limits of the temporary topsoil
stockpile. This area must be regraded to the elevations shown on the proposed
grading plan. Streets must be kept clean and free of debris at all times.
Erosion control blanket shall be installed on all slopes greater than or equal to
The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play

3:1. All exposed soil areas shall have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover year
round, according to the following table of slopes and timeframes:
Type of Slope
Steeper than 3:1
10:1 t03:1
Flatter than 10: 1
Time
7 days
14 days
21 days
(Maximum time an area can
remain open when the area
is not actively being worked.)
7. The applicant shall provide the City with a cash escrow in the amount of $5000.00 to
guarantee erosion control measures, site restoration, and compliance with the interim use
permit.
8. Permitted hours of operation will be 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday with no work permitted on Sunday or legal holidays.
9. The applicant must provide a proposed haul route for review and approval.
10. An interim use permit expires one year from the date of approval from the City Council. The
permit may be renewed on an annual basis subject to City Council approval. The applicant
will need to request a formal extension 45 days prior to the expiration date.
11. A temporary construction easement is required for the grading on the US West Telephone
property.
12. All permits must be secured prior to commencement. This includes a drainage permit from
the Minnesota Department of Transportation, a watershed district permit, and a Minnesota
Pollution Control NPDES stormwater permit. A stormwater pollution prevention plan must
be submitted to the City for review by Carver Soil and Water Conservation District.
13. Changes are needed to the grading plan. The elevations 906 and 908 that are shown in the
black walnut woods in the existing conditions must remain in the grading plan. Change the
grading in this area to allow the water to exit the comer of the woods. The swale for the
drainage around the US West Telephone property should be moved to the center of the lot
line.
14. An as-built grading plan is needed at the completion of site grading to ensure compliance
with the approved grading plan.
You must submit the revised plans to the City for review and approval. Prior to beginning site
grading and filling activity, all erosion control and tree protection fencing must be installed and
inspected. Please contact Gordy Stauff at (952) 227-1166 to schedule an inspection of the
erosion control and tree protection fencing. Additionally, you will need to submit copies of all
permits you receive from other agencies to the City prior to beginning grading activity.
