Application for Reclamation Permit - Schmidt Site - M -201 1 -014 Exhibits P. 10
<br />C. Original conditions:
<br />The property, a subdivision lot, consists of a wedge approximately 600 feet north to south
<br />and width varying from 150 feet in the north to 230 feet in the south. It had a concave
<br />slope ranging from 18% near the north to about 26% near the center and 40% at the
<br />south end. There were no suitable building sites on the property that would not require
<br />extensive excavation. There is no room on site for stable placement of excavated
<br />materials, while meeting county zoning, environmental and safety requirements.
<br />D. Current conditions:
<br />Construction work on this project began several years ago, and is estimated to be
<br />approximately 30% completed. Construction to date includes 27,300 SF (0.63 acres)
<br />disturbed land (23% of total) (areas estimated from satellite photos):
<br />• Access road, including entry off River Run Drive. The lower portion is near final
<br />grade and upper portion approximately 10 feet above final grade. Many of the
<br />shorter retaining walls (dry-laid stone on grade) have been built
<br />Length = 220 ft, Area = 4,000 SF:
<br />• Parking /loading pad, to the general limits of the planned extent, and with the front
<br />half about 10 feet above final grade (currently about 6955) and the back half
<br />within 25 feet of final grade (currently between 6965 and 6970) (from 3 to 20 feet
<br />deep)
<br />Length= 120 ft, Width = 150 ft, Area = 13,800 SF, to increase to 15,000 SF;
<br />• Excavation for the storage shelter around the planned central island, and from 20-
<br />50 feet deep (to within 25 feet of final grade) (floor currently about 6970 - 6975).
<br />Excavation edges are basically vertical in configuration
<br />Length= 75 ft, Width= 80 ft, Area= 4100 SF, to increase to 7,000 SF during work.
<br />• Upper access road to the house site, initial trail clearing and rough -in
<br />Length= 550 ft, Width= 6 -8 ft, Area= 4400 SF, Elevation 6970 -7040;
<br />• Work has begun on excavating the house pad (including stockpiles) at the top of
<br />the access road,
<br />Length= 50 ft, Width =25 ft, Area= 1000 SF, Elevation 7035 -7040.
<br />E. Proposed sequence of work:
<br />This is based on anticipated ground conditions, and the need to remove earth from the
<br />site to complete the work; therefore it is dependent on people needing fill or soil. Work is
<br />expected to be intermittent, due to demand, weather, and other factors, but no
<br />temporary cessation is anticipated. Sequence may vary somewhat from this order,
<br />based on materials, equipment, and time available. During the remaining construction,
<br />the disturbed and will increase from 27,200 SF to 43,600 SF (23% to 37% of site).
<br />1. Excavation of the parking /loading pad to final elevation of 6945 -6955;
<br />2. Excavation of the storage shelter floor to final elevation 6945 -6955;
<br />3. Excavation for and Installation of roof components for storage shelter (7,000 SF roof
<br />size for 4697 SF floor space (exterior));
<br />4. Installation of necessary retaining wall components in storage shelter and around
<br />perimeter of parking /loading pad;
<br />5. Widening and construction of drainage of upper access road;
<br />6. Excavation of house pad (at top of upper access road) (Total approximately
<br />10,000 SF disturbed, 5,000 SF pad and 5,000 SF to be in retaining walls /berms.);
<br />7. Installation of necessary retaining wall components for house pad, roads, etc.;
<br />8. Placement of soil on roof of storage shelter and vegetation of that roof;
