Body
Background: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use in a RR Rural Residential District (RR) to allow a borrow pit on their property. The intent is for the dirt to be used for construction project(s) in Derby by the contractor removing the dirt. The end result will be a pond for private use by the landowner.
According to information provided by the applicant/agent, the borrow pit will cover a little over 1 acre of land and be located south of the driveway in the southeast corner of the property. It is estimated that about 26,000 yards of dirt will be removed. Once work begins, it is anticipated the removal of the dirt will take between 60 and 90 days; however the exact time to complete the removal is unknown. The owner/agent has stated an intent for the resulting pond to be for personal use only.
The applicant has indicated both KDOT and the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe Railroad have approved this new activity (truck traffic) on the drive entrance to K-15 and crossing of the railroad. Written confirmation of these contacts has been provided.
The matter was reviewed by staff and other agencies of the County regarding the impacts. Sedgwick County officials have discussed this issue with the agent regarding floodplain impacts and other potential state permitting requirements. To date, no other issues have been identified that would delay or negatively impact the proposed use.
The application was submitted to the City of Derby for review and comment...
