The proposed disturbed area is part of a larger project area for which you have also submitted a special exception application. The property is located within 1000 feet of an unnamed pond to the west and the upper portion of Pine Lake to the south. Staff finds that the proposed project meets the spirit and intent of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance and Shoreland District with the following findings: 1. Filling and grading less than 10,000 square feet in area on slopes less than 25 percent is allowed with a land use permit in the Shoreland District pursuant to Section 17.29(2)(c) of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance; 2. Filling and grading any area equal to or greater than 10,000 square feet shall require a special exception permit in the Shoreland District pursuant to Section 17.29(2)(d) of the St. Croix County Zoning Ordinance; 3. Pursuant to Section 17.12(7) any construction or land disturbance of > 10,000 square feet on slopes from 12% to 19.9% requires a land use permit; 4. The proposed building site is on a hilltop with slopes of less than 20 percent; 5. The grading limits for the proposed excavated area is -.-600 feet from the OBWM of an unnamed pond/wetland to the west and -900 feet north of Pine Lake; 6. The erosion control plan utilizes extensive vegetative buffer and perimeter sediment control measures to prevent sedimentation of a low area to the east of the building site. With conditions for maintaining sediment and erosion control measures during construction until self-sustaining permanent vegetation is established on all disturbed areas, prohibiting the use of phosphorous fertilizer to establish and maintain a lawn on the disturbed areas, and implementing any conditions in the special exception permit for long-term storm water management, there will be no negative impacts to the water quality of navigable waters in the area; 7.
