Chairman Mahern asked Mr. Mitchum to try and solve the glass breakage problem. UP-91-3S. Sherin Gahrahmat Application for a conditional use permit to stockpile approximately 100,000 cubic yards of dirt for future use on a vacant site located at 2900 Martin Avenue. Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - LDR (Low Density Residential) District. Mr. Swift presented the staff report (noting that the Planning Commission had received an addendum stating the applicant had requested approval to stockpile an additional 50,000 cubic yards of dirt fill on the subject site) recommending approval of Case UP-91-35 subject to the revised conditions of the addendum staff report which addressed hydroseeding and irrigation of the stockpile. He also called attention to a letter of opposition from Mr. and Mrs. Tom Coler that was handed out tonight. Chairman Mahern asked if the dirt is just dumped on a pile or smoothed out. Mr. Swift replied that it is a six foot high pile of dirt but the intention is to smooth it out with equipment. This mound will then be hydroseeded to keep dust to a minimum. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Larry Bartleson, Civil Engineer of Livermore, represented the application. He stated he has read the staff report and concurs with the five conditions, but wished to clarify Condition 3 in that they intend to hydroseed the dirt stockpile, not put groundcover as the report indicates. Chairman Mahern noted there are six conditions, not five. Mr. Swift presented the revised conditions to the applicant and noted that Condition 3 has been revised to allow for hydroseeding, not groundcover. Mr. Bartleson explained that approximately 11 acres of the 97 acres would have dirt deposited; this would be smoothed to a height of about six feet and hydroseeded. No irrigation system will be on site, but watering will be done to get the grass established. Commissioner Horan stressed that if dust becomes a problem or should the grass die, he would expect the applicant to do something about solving the problem. Mr. Bartleson agreed to that condition.
