You must apply for a grading permit to continue site grading. The permit must include a
grading and erosion control plan and such grading shall be limited to 1,000 cubic feet. If
you exceed this amount, an Interim Use Permit must be applied for and approved by the
City Council. Interim Use Permit #07 -16, which approved previous site grading, has
expired. The sale of "dirt" is not a permitted use in the Single - Family Residential
District. No grading operations are allowed without a permit.
You are also operating a commercial firewood operation on the property. The processing
of wood for firewood is considered a light manufacturing operation, which is permitted in
the Industrial Office Park District. The sale of firewood is considered a retail commercial
operation, which is permitted in commercial districts. The property is zoned Single -
Family Residential District, RSF, which does not permit either of these operations.
Please remove all signage and stop the processing and sale of firewood on site and move
the wood stacks to the rear of the house or off -site. Wood for burning in a fireplace may
be kept on the property provided it follows the following regulations: In a neat and
secure stack, not exceeding four feet; the wood stack is not infested with rodents; and the
wood is not kept in a front yard.
We shall visit the site Monday, July 23, 2012, to determine compliance with City Code.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Bob Generous at
(952) 227 -1131 or Joseph Shamla at (952) 227 - 1165.
